Ch. 91: Mr. Edwards' Unraveled Life chapter 91
Mr. Edwards' Unraveled Life chapter 91 - Kian was nervous and sweating. These people were his key clients; how could he not follow them?
Noticing Kevin’s unhappy expression, he said, "Mr. Edwards, please don’t be upset. Secretary White still wants to have some fun. How about we join her?"
Kevin, still displeased, replied, "Who’s going with her?"
Norah saw Kevin's mood and didn't push him. She turned to Steven and said, "There’s still a lot to see ahead. Let’s go check it out."
"Alright." Steven glanced at Kevin and added, "Mr. Edwards, I’ll leave you for now."
The two continued walking ahead.
Kevin, watching them leave, looked irritated and asked Kian, "Do you want to go with them?"
Kian quickly responded, "Of course! Secretary White, I’ll join you."
As he said that, Kevin followed behind them.
Kevin's gaze naturally fell on the toy Norah was holding tightly. “A little toy makes her so happy,” he thought. Just a moment ago, she seemed like she had found the most valuable treasure in the world.
But it was just a cheap toy!
He had given her an imperial green gemstone worth millions, yet she barely reacted. He couldn’t understand what was going on in her mind. She didn’t care about money, but she worked so hard for simple things.
"You can also play darts here," Norah pointed out, noticing people wearing masks, which she found intriguing.
The challenge was to hit all 20 darts in the center. No one had done it yet, making it a difficult task.
Norah was eager to try.
Seeing her interest, Kevin told Kian to pay for the game.
Kian thought this would be a great chance for Kevin to impress her. "Let Mr. Edwards handle it," he suggested, and quickly paid for the darts, handing them to Kevin.
Norah glanced at Kevin, hoping he wouldn’t accidentally hit the shopkeeper with the darts.
Kevin remained calm and effortlessly hit the bullseye with his first throw.
Norah breathed a sigh of relief.
He continued throwing—each dart hitting the bullseye. Ten darts in a row.
The shop owner was impressed. "No one has ever hit ten in a row before!"
Norah looked at Kevin in disbelief. He had missed the balloons earlier, so how was he suddenly so accurate with darts?
Kevin kept throwing, hitting more bullseyes, drawing the attention of the crowd.
"Wow, that guy is amazing! And he’s handsome too," one girl commented.
"Do you think he has a girlfriend?" another asked, clearly impressed.
Norah heard them talking and realized Kevin was attracting a lot of attention. She wondered how many admirers he'd gather.
The shop owner, now excited, announced, "You hit them all! You’re the first person to do that!"
The crowd applauded Kevin.
Even in a crowd, Kevin stood out effortlessly. While others worked hard for success, he seemed to breeze through with talent and luck.
Kevin found the game easy and simply asked, "What’s the prize?"
The shop owner smiled and said, "You can pick anything here!"
Kevin looked at Norah and asked, "Which one do you like?"
"Uh?" Norah was caught off guard.
Kevin noticed the toy she was holding and picked up a huge strawberry bear, much larger than her toy.
"How about this one?" he asked. "Isn’t it better than the one you’re holding?"
Norah looked at the oversized bear. It was taller than Kevin and would drag on the ground if she tried to carry it. She quickly shook her head, "No, it's too big, and I don’t like it."
Kevin’s expression darkened. "Isn’t this better than the one in your hand? Take it."
He tossed the bear at her.
Norah, now struggling to carry both toys, felt overwhelmed. "Kevin, stop!" she exclaimed, trying not to drop everything.
Kevin, with a cold expression, said nothing. He didn’t understand why she wasn’t excited about the bigger toy. What was wrong?
Sensing that she might have hurt his pride, Norah softened her tone. "It’s just too heavy. I can’t carry it."
Steven stepped in and offered to help. "I’ll hold it for you."
"Thank you," Norah replied, feeling relieved.
Kian noticed the tension and could tell Kevin was on the verge of losing his temper. Norah didn’t seem to acknowledge Kevin’s effort, which only made things worse.
Steven turned to Norah and asked, "Do you want something to drink? There’s milk tea over there."
"Sure, I’m thirsty," Norah replied, ready to leave.
But just then, Kian shouted in alarm, "Mr. Edwards, you’re bleeding!"
Norah’s smile disappeared. She turned to see Kevin’s hand dripping with blood. She rushed over, panicked. "What happened? Why is there so much blood?"
She grabbed his hand to stop the bleeding.
Kevin, noticing her concern, relaxed slightly. "Weren’t you getting milk tea? Why are you back here?"
He leaned closer to her as he spoke.
Norah quickly supported him, worried. "What’s wrong?"
Kian quickly chimed in, "Mr. Edwards might be feeling faint from the sight of blood."
Norah was surprised. She had no idea.
Kevin, trying to downplay it, said again, "Go get the milk tea."
"Don’t talk," Norah said firmly, no longer in the mood for milk tea. "Kian, please get some gauze to stop the bleeding."
"Right away!" Kian hurried to a nearby pharmacy.
Norah looked up at Kevin. "How did this happen?"
Kevin stared into her eyes and calmly replied, "I might’ve scratched myself with a dart earlier."
"Does it hurt?"
"Yes."
Norah helped him sit down on a nearby bench. "Be careful. It could take days for this to heal."
Kevin glanced at Steven, who was standing a bit awkwardly nearby. "Are you still getting milk tea?"
"No."
Kevin’s voice softened. "Let’s go home after this."
"Alright," Norah agreed.
Kian returned with the gauze, and Norah quickly bandaged Kevin’s wound. The cut was long and looked like it might have been from a dart. She frowned, concerned it could get infected.
