Ch. 90: Mr. Edwards' Unraveled Life chapter 90

Mr. Edwards' Unraveled Life chapter 90 - Kevin’s words left Kian momentarily stunned.

No, Lola is pregnant, and she was with him that night, so the baby must be his.

“Let’s go,” Kevin suddenly said.

“Oh.” Kian started the car.

“I said, get out of the car!” Kevin demanded.

“Mr. Edwards, don’t you have another meeting? And there are too many people here!” Kian saw the crowd and figured it would be chaotic. Normally, Kevin wouldn’t want to be around this many people without security.

Kevin gave him a sharp look. “You like places like this, right?”

“Huh?” Kian was confused. When did he ever like crowded places? But under Kevin’s intense gaze, he just nodded. “Yes, yes, I like it here.”

“Good. Get out of the car!” Kevin’s eyes remained fixed on the scene outside.

Kevin stepped out first, looking at the busy street filled with people. He couldn’t understand why anyone would want to gather here, especially just for a short fireworks display. He curled his lips in disdain.

“Be careful, Mr. Edwards!” Kian hovered nearby, worried someone might bump into Kevin.

Kevin walked quickly, his eyes locked on Norah. He saw her and Steven playing a ring-toss game, laughing together. Kevin frowned, not understanding how such a childish game could bring so much joy.

Norah had 50 rings in her hand. For $20, she got 50 chances to win. She was aiming for a large Doraemon doll, the biggest prize. But it was the hardest to win.

“I can’t seem to hit it.” Norah had already spent $100, tossing 250 rings and still missing the prize.

The shop owner couldn’t help but suggest, “Miss, maybe try for another prize. Look at that smaller doll—it’s nice too.”

“No, I want that one.” Norah was determined. She felt if she just tried a little harder, she could win. The shop owner was pleased. It wasn’t often someone was this persistent, and every miss was money in his pocket.

Seeing her determination, Steven decided to help. “Give me 50 rings,” he told the shop owner.

Steven threw a few rings but also missed. Still, Norah could see he was trying to help her win Doraemon.

Suddenly, on the fifth toss, Steven landed the ring.

“Got it! Got it!” Norah shouted in excitement.

Steven had won the Doraemon, and Norah was so thrilled that she hugged him without thinking.

BANG—

A toy gun fired nearby.

The shop owner next door jumped in fear. “Sir! Watch where you’re shooting! You almost hit me! Even toy guns can hurt!”

Kevin hadn’t been paying attention, focused on Norah and Steven. He didn’t see the balloon he had been aiming at.

“Kian, did you hit the target?” Kevin asked absently.

“…Almost,” Kian said, looking at the pale shop owner.

Steven was caught off guard by Norah’s hug but smiled, seeing how happy she was. “You’re not worried anymore, right?”

“No, I’m really happy,” Norah beamed.

The shop owner, now calmer, handed Doraemon to Norah. She held it tightly, feeling like she had finally won something meaningful.

“What should we do with the extra rings?” Steven asked.

Norah replied, “Let’s just throw them. Whatever I hit is fine.”

“Okay,” Steven agreed and started tossing rings again. He was accurate, winning small trinkets that weren’t useful but fun. Meanwhile, chaos broke out at the next stall.

The shop owner there was panicking. “Sir, please stop shooting! I’ll refund your money, just don’t shoot anymore!”

Kian rushed over to calm him down. “It’s fine, we’ll pay for anything broken.”

Another shot rang out, hitting a porcelain doll. It shattered instantly.

“You’re supposed to hit balloons, not my merchandise!” the shop owner yelled, accusing the neighboring stall of sabotaging his business.

The balloon stall owner shot back, “Your business doesn’t affect mine! Blame this guy’s bad aim!”

Kian hurried to break up the argument. “No, no, it’s not like that. We’ll compensate everyone!”

Norah noticed the commotion and saw Kevin standing there, with Kian trying to manage the situation. She was shocked.

What is he doing here? This doesn’t seem right.

As the argument escalated, Norah rushed over. “What’s happening?”

Kian looked relieved to see her. “Secretary White, please help. Mr. Edwards is causing chaos!”

Norah turned to Kevin, who coldly put down the toy gun. “Why are you all arguing over a stray shot? How much is the damage? I’ll pay for it.”

She frowned and asked, “Why are you here? Are you following me?”

Kevin, who usually hated crowded places, had no reason to be here.

He gave her a cold stare. “You can come here, but I can’t?”

Then he looked around. “This place is kind of fun. I don’t know why I never noticed it before.”

Kian nearly cried. Fun? If Norah hadn’t come over, this whole place would have been in chaos!

Norah pressed her lips together. Maybe he had changed after all. There was no reason for him to be following her.

“Well, go ahead then,” she said, looking at Kian. “It’s after work hours. You don’t have to clean up his mess. Just let him be.”
