Ch. 104: Mr. Edwards' Unraveled Life chapter 104

Chapter 104

Norah was usually calm and composed, rarely showing anger. She never argued, even when provoked, and often remained silent when others tried to take advantage of her.

However, today was different. Lola's arrogance had finally pushed Norah to her limit. Lola assumed Norah had no real standing in the Edwards family and saw herself as superior. That confidence made her bold enough to challenge Norah openly.

Norah's sudden outburst took Lola by surprise. Caught off guard and aware that Kevin was nearby, Lola knew she couldn't afford to argue back. Her only choice was to play the victim, her eyes welling up with tears as she said, "I… I'm sorry."

Norah, however, saw through Lola's act immediately. She was tired of always being the one to endure while others took advantage. "You think too highly of yourself," Norah said coldly. "Take a good look in the mirror, Lola. You walk into the Edwards family acting like you're the mistress, but you're nothing more than a woman with no status."

Lola’s face flushed with anger as Norah's words hit their mark, humiliating her and wounding her pride. Tears fell from Lola’s eyes, and she stammered, "Ms. White, I know I was wrong. I misunderstood you. Please, don’t hit me anymore!"

Just then, the door to the ward opened, and Kevin stepped out. His expression was stern as he noticed Lola crying and covering her face, while Norah stood there, calm and unbothered.

Kevin's gaze shifted to Norah. He felt a surge of anger—not because of what Lola had done, but because Norah seemed unaffected by another woman's attempts to win his favor. He couldn't shake the feeling that Norah didn't care whether he found comfort elsewhere. To her, the sooner they divorced, the better.

"What are you two doing out here?" Kevin asked coldly.

Lola quickly seized the opportunity to play the victim, her voice trembling as she said, "I made a mistake. I said something offensive to Ms. White, and I thought she had set me up to upset you. I didn't mean it, and I promise it won’t happen again."

Kevin's eyes turned to Norah, searching for an answer. "Did you send her here with those clothes?" he asked, his tone accusatory.

Norah met his gaze calmly. "What do you think?" she replied evenly.

Kevin's frustration only grew. "You can't wait to divorce me, can you?" he said, his voice full of bitterness. To him, Norah’s indifference spoke volumes.

Norah remained composed as she picked up the clothes that had been thrown to the ground. "If you don't like them, then don't wear them," she said simply. "There’s no need for such a temper."

She took out a sweater from the bag and handed it to him. "This is the one I thought you might want."

Kevin's anger lessened a bit when he saw that Norah had brought the clothes herself, rather than sending Lola. But he couldn't help but ask, "Then why was she here if you already brought the clothes?"

Norah turned to Lola, her expression unreadable. "You should ask her that. She insisted on coming despite my advice. I won’t be blamed for her actions."

Kevin looked at Lola, waiting for an explanation. She hesitated, realizing her plan had backfired. "I just wanted to help," she said meekly. "I’m sorry. I won’t do it again."

Kevin's face hardened. "Get out," he said firmly.

Lola was stunned by Kevin's coldness, a far cry from the man who once showed her kindness. She looked at Norah with resentment, convinced that if it weren't for her, Kevin would still treat her well.

Lola fled in tears, and on her way out, she accidentally bumped into Bianca.

"Watch where you're going!" Bianca’s assistant scolded as she helped steady Bianca, who was struggling with her high heels.

"I'm so sorry, I didn't mean to," Lola stammered, wiping away her tears.

"It's fine," Bianca said kindly, brushing off the incident before continuing on her way to Kevin's room.

When Bianca entered the ward, she was surprised to see Kevin looking weak and pale. "Kevin, are you okay?" she asked, her voice full of concern.

Kevin's eyes softened slightly as he saw Bianca, though he still kept his guard up. "You shouldn’t have come all this way. Aren't you busy with filming?" he asked.

"I heard you were hurt, and I had to see you," Bianca said, tears glistening in her eyes. "Please, tell me where you're injured."

"It's nothing serious," Kevin said, his voice gentler now. "Don't worry about me. You should get back to your work."

But Bianca couldn’t hide her worry as she sat by his side, determined to stay with him despite his protests.
