Ch. 7: Mr. Edwards' Unraveled Life chapter 7

Chapter 7

After staying in the hospital for a while, Norah left with her injuries.

"Norah!"

When Gloria saw Norah, she noticed she was pale and had a wound on her head. She quickly caught her. "Oh my God, where did you get hurt?"

Norah didn't say anything. Gloria Turner was Norah's close friend.

"You were at work, right? This is a work injury," Gloria said. "Where is Kevin?"

Norah: "I don't know."

Gloria saw that her condition was more than just a simple injury and sneered, "You worked diligently for him, and your head got injured like this. He is your husband, but you can't find him. This husband is no different from being dead."

Norah: "Soon he won't be."

"What? He wants to divorce you?" Gloria's face changed.

Norah said, "I want to divorce him."

Gloria's attitude shifted. "Divorce if you want, divorce now!" She then warned her, "Remember to divide the property in half. The first step for a smart woman is to get the money if she can't get the man. Now that you have the money, are you still afraid of not finding a good man? You can find a few more then, good ones who can serve you every day!"

It was an agreement between them from the beginning. If they divorced, she would get nothing.

"Norah."

Gloria suddenly called her again, frowning and staring at her. "Why do you suddenly want to divorce him? You've liked him for so many years, you can't give up easily, unless he cheated."

Norah's face was grim, and a bitter smile appeared at the corner of her lips. "Didn't you see the report? Bianca is back."

"Bianca has only been back for a short time, and they are already together." Gloria was a little excited and continued to complain, "Cheating during marriage is a heavier crime, and you should get a larger share of the property. Norah, I warn you, you can't be soft-hearted. No matter what he says, as long as you are married, you should have half of the property, if not more. And if he cheated, if he doesn't agree, it will be known to everyone. I wonder if he still has any shame!"

"I have made up my mind." Norah's reaction was very calm.

She never made any unsure considerations. When she said it, it meant that she was really tired and didn't want to continue this hopeless marriage.

"I'll go to your place tonight. I don't want to see him."

As long as Norah thought of Kevin staying with Bianca for a night, she would definitely feel uncomfortable if she saw him again. Maybe they would quarrel again. There was no need to add extra troubles at the time of divorce. She thought there was no need to go back to the home that did not belong to her.

"Okay, you go to my place. I'll make you chicken soup to replenish your body. What kind of hell is the Edwards family? They raised you so thin. They are so immoral!" Gloria cursed while helping Norah walk, almost cursing the eighteen generations of ancestors of the Edwards family.

It was already early the next morning when Kevin came back. When he returned to the bedroom, he found no one in it, and the quilt was folded.

Usually, at this time, Norah was still sleeping.

Kevin asked, "Where is Norah?"

The servant paused. "Madam didn't come back last night."

Kevin remembered clearly that she had called him yesterday, and it sounded like nothing happened. Why didn't she come home suddenly?

He didn't want to put all his thoughts on Norah, so he didn't ask any more questions, took a shower, and went to work again. When he returned to the company, he learned that an accident had occurred on the construction site yesterday. Since he was not there, the responsibility lay with Norah, and she had disappeared as if it had nothing to do with her. She seemed to be out of work these days.

Kevin immediately called Norah.

Norah had just come out of the shower when she heard her cell phone ring. She picked it up and saw Kevin's name. She had a complicated look on her face before she answered, "What's the matter?"

"Where did you go last night?" Kevin said in a cold tone.

"At a friend's place."

Kevin asked seriously, "There was a serious accident on the construction site, why didn't you tell me?"
