Ch. 194: Mr. Edwards’ Unraveled Life chapter 194

Chapter 194

Norah froze, momentarily stunned.

Since when did Kevin care about going out for dinner and a movie with her?

In all the time they’d been married, Kevin had never once suggested something so... normal. It was the kind of thing couples did—yet their marriage had always been anything but typical.

Noticing her silence, Kevin pressed further. “Why aren’t you saying anything? I’ve already asked Kian to book a table for us. Dinner first, then a movie, and after that, we’ll head home.”

Still skeptical, Norah frowned. “Why the sudden urge for dinner and a movie? Is there some special occasion I don’t know about?”

Her suspicion was warranted. Anything out of the ordinary between her and Kevin always felt like it came with strings attached. Lately, she'd been distant, even contemplating divorce. Was this some last-ditch attempt to salvage their relationship?

Kevin brushed off her doubts. “No occasion. I just want to spend time with you. That’s all.”

He picked up his coffee and took a sip, only to pause. “Did you switch brands?”

Norah replied casually, “The one you usually drink was out of stock, so I picked a different one. I’ll restock the usual when it’s available. This should do for now.”

“It’s fine,” Kevin said, taking another sip without complaint.

His calm reaction caught Norah off guard. The Kevin she knew would’ve been irritable about not having his preferred coffee. Yet here he was, unusually patient.

Her gaze lingered on him, trying to make sense of the change. Why had his temper softened so much lately? Why was he suddenly more accommodating, more... considerate?

Was it guilt? Was he trying to make up for something, like the earlier meeting with Bianca? Or was this all just another layer of his enigmatic behavior?

Whatever it was, none of it added up. If Kevin truly had feelings for Bianca, why hadn’t he ended things with Norah already? Why not divorce her and be with Bianca openly?

Meanwhile, outside the Edwards Group...

Bianca strutted out of the building, radiating confidence.

From a parked car nearby, Jamie and her friend watched her approach.

“Jamie! That’s Bianca! I can’t believe we’re seeing her in person!” Jamie’s friend gushed, clearly starstruck.

Jamie, however, remained unimpressed. Her strained relationship with Elodie had pushed her to hang out with other friends, and she wasn’t particularly interested in celebrity gossip. “Who is she? A star or something?”

“Jamie, seriously? She’s the rising star right now! Her debut drama is all anyone can talk about. Everyone says she’s the next big thing in the industry—especially with Kevin backing her.”

Hearing Kevin’s name piqued Jamie’s interest. “Kevin? As in Kevin Edwards?”

“Of course! Haven’t you heard the rumors? Bianca is supposedly Kevin’s ‘white moonlight.’”

Jamie snorted. “That’s ridiculous.”

Her friend raised an eyebrow. “How would you know? People have been talking about their connection since their high school days. They were supposedly the perfect couple back then. Some even think they’re married in secret!”

“That’s nonsense,” Jamie retorted firmly.

Her friend looked at her curiously. “How can you be so sure? Do you know Kevin personally?”

Jamie didn’t answer immediately. She glanced at Bianca as the actress walked past their car, her elegant demeanor drawing attention. Memories of her past conversations with Kevin surfaced. Back then, she’d asked him directly if he had someone special, and he had denied it.

Yet now, Bianca’s name kept surfacing alongside his.

Jamie opened the car door and called out, “Miss Lynch.”

Bianca paused, turning toward the voice. Her expression softened when she saw Jamie—it wasn’t a paparazzi ambush or a crazed fan, just a polite young woman.

“Yes? Hello,” Bianca replied, flashing a practiced, friendly smile.

Jamie played along, feigning excitement. “Miss Lynch, I’m such a fan! I’ve watched your drama—it’s fantastic. You’re even better than Sasha!”

Bianca’s smile brightened. Compliments comparing her to Sasha, her rival, were music to her ears.

“Oh, thank you, but I wouldn’t say that. Sasha is incredibly talented. I’ve still got a lot to learn from her,” Bianca said with mock humility.

Jamie smirked inwardly but kept her tone light. “Well, here’s my card. If you ever want to collaborate, feel free to reach out.”

Bianca took the card, her gaze flickering over it. “Jamie Jenkins? Of the Jenkins family?”

“That’s me,” Jamie replied casually.

Recognition sparked in Bianca’s eyes. “I think Kevin mentioned your family once. Jenkins recently partnered with Edwards Group, right?”

Jamie’s interest sharpened. “Mr. Edwards mentioned you? You must be close to Kevin.”

Bianca hesitated for a fraction of a second before responding, “Well, I am one of his artists, and we’ve known each other for years. Our relationship is professional, but we get along well.”

Jamie pressed further, her curiosity evident. “You and Kevin have such a great rapport. People are starting to wonder if there’s more to it. When’s the wedding?”

Bianca’s composure faltered briefly, but she recovered with a laugh. “Oh, no, you’ve got it all wrong! Kevin is already married. I wouldn’t dare get involved with a married man.”

Jamie’s eyes widened. “Married? Are you serious?”

Realizing she might’ve said too much, Bianca quickly added, “Oh, I shouldn’t have said that! Please, keep it between us. Kevin prefers to keep his private life private.”

But Jamie was no longer listening. Her thoughts were racing. Kevin was married? To who? And why had she never heard about it before?
