Ch. 15: Mr. Edwards’ Unraveled Life chapter 15
Chapter 15
Bianca's face immediately turned red. She covered her face with her hands, and tears fell again. She looked pitiful and lovable. She was indeed suited for the screen, pretending to be pitiful very convincingly.
If Norah hadn't seen her fierce demeanor earlier, she might have believed Bianca's act.
"Show some respect!" Norah spoke more harshly.
Bianca cried and said softly, "Norah, I have dignity too. How can you treat me like this? I didn't take your man away. Please don't misunderstand me."
"Norah!" Kevin's voice came from not far away.
Norah was shocked. Why was Kevin here?
She thought this might be a play directed by Bianca. She looked over and saw Kevin with a cold expression and sharp eyes, as if she had done something wrong.
Kevin strode over and pulled Bianca from Norah's side into his arms.
The force was strong, causing Norah to step back a few steps.
"Kevin." Bianca's tears fell.
Kevin stared at Norah with cold eyes and said forcefully, "Apologize!"
Norah looked at them, especially Kevin's cold words, which hurt her deeply. She felt devastated but had to endure the heartache. "Why should I apologize?"
"Didn't I see you hit Bianca?" Kevin said coldly.
Bianca immediately stopped Kevin, feeling wronged. "Kevin, don't blame Norah, it's my fault for making her unhappy."
"This is no excuse for her behavior!"
There were few people around, no reporters, and no one to take pictures. It gave them a chance to show their love openly.
Norah just felt suffocated. Being too confident can lead to embarrassment.
What was she to Kevin?
She was his wife, but more like a stranger.
Norah looked at Kevin and smiled bitterly. "I have never been willful in front of you."
She was never willful, so she never got into trouble.
'Well-behaved children don't get candy.' This saying is true.
Norah had been with Kevin for so long. When she got drunk at work events, she took a taxi home by herself. When she was sick or injured, she went to the hospital alone so he wouldn't worry. She didn't make him worry, but it seemed he thought she was invulnerable.
"Apologize to Bianca. Do you want me to repeat myself?" Kevin frowned, obviously impatient.
Norah said stubbornly, "I didn't do anything wrong, so I won't apologize!"
Kevin said, "Do you have to make me unhappy?"
Norah knew Kevin's patience was running out. If she resisted further, she would definitely be punished.
At this moment,
"Stop bullying her!"
Gloria saw Norah being bullied and her face immediately changed. She defended Norah. "Do you really think Norah is easy to bully and has no support? Kevin, Norah hasn't divorced you yet, and you're siding with this mistress. There are many reporters outside. Do you want to call them in to see this joke?"
Kevin glanced at Gloria coldly.
"What are you talking about?" Kevin said coldly.
Gloria was confident, but Kevin's stare overwhelmed her. "I mean, don't make it so tense, it will embarrass everyone in the end!"
She looked at Bianca and said, "There are many people here today. You don't want to make a fuss in front of the media, do you?"
Bianca certainly didn't want to make a big fuss. She grabbed Kevin's sleeve and showed weakness. "Kevin, forget it, I don't mind. I feel a little uncomfortable. Can you help me rest?"
Kevin looked at Bianca and saw her pale face. He pulled her arm. "If you're tired, don't participate in this kind of activity!"
He didn't pursue it further and took Bianca away.
Norah watched them leave. They didn't need to explain anything to her, they just left so frankly. This made her feel very ironic.
What was her title of "Mrs. Edwards"? Kevin never regarded her as his wife.
Seeing them walk out, Gloria cursed inwardly, "You two b*stards! So disgusting."
Turning back to look at Norah, she saw her eyes moist and her gaze following them. Gloria said, "Norah, don't be angry. I didn't know Bianca would come. If I knew, I would have stopped her. I'm sorry, I made you sad."
Letting her catch them was just adding fuel to the fire.
Gloria couldn't bear to see her sad.
Norah looked away and slowly unclenched her fists. "Even if she's not here, she'll appear somewhere else. This day was inevitable."
Kevin helped Bianca to the lounge and quickly let her go after she sat down.
He asked, "How's your face?"
Bianca had already gotten what she wanted, so she said, "It's fine now."
Kevin stared at her face with narrowed eyes. "Your face is so red. Are you joking?"
Bianca was stunned for a moment and touched her cheek, feeling hot and a little painful. She said, "This slap was indeed a bit heavy. Norah was too angry, and she didn't mean it."
"How can you shoot a magazine cover with this face?" Kevin interrupted her. "Your face is swollen. Can the foundation cover it? Don't delay your work."
Bianca realized she was supposed to shoot a magazine in the afternoon. "You can get some ice cubes to reduce the swelling quickly. Don't worry too much. I can do it."
Kevin gave an order, and someone came in.
Bianca's assistant applied ice cubes to her face.
Kevin was on the phone.
Bianca noticed his expression. He was very serious when working. Although he was a little unkind, he was still very charming, which made her heart pound.
She couldn't help it, and the corners of her lips curled up. She was closer to him and could help him with his work.
She and Kevin were a perfect match. Norah was nothing, at most just an assistant to him.
After Kevin hung up the phone, he glanced at Bianca and said, "You don't have to go today."
Bianca responded, "Why? I can do it."
Kevin saw that her face was still swollen. "It won't go away for a while. It will affect the filming. Let's talk about it tomorrow."
Bianca blamed herself. "I'm sorry. It's my fault. I knew we had to shoot in the afternoon, and I shouldn't have hurt my face."
Kevin didn't answer and said to her assistant, "Help her go back and rest."
Bianca wanted to stay with Kevin. Her afternoon shoot was postponed, so there was nothing to do. Her original purpose was to spend time with him. She pushed away the assistant who was helping her and said, "Kevin, I…"
At that moment, Kevin didn't notice her but made another call and asked indifferently, "Norah, where are you now?"
