Ch. 92: Mr. Edwards' Unraveled Life chapter 92

Mr. Edwards' Unraveled Life chapter 92 - Kian cleaned Kevin's wound with disinfectant and bandaged it. After a while, Kian brought the car around, and Norah helped Kevin get in, glancing at Steven.

Kevin noticed how much attention she was giving Steven. Steven, with a gentle tone, said, "You should head back with Mr. Edwards since he's hurt and needs care." He understood what Norah needed to do, given that Kevin was her boss.

Norah waved goodbye, saying, "I'll head back now. Thanks for taking me out today."

"You're welcome," Steven replied as the car door closed.

Kian walked over to Steven, smiling politely. He took the large strawberry bear from him, not wanting someone else to take what Kevin had won for Norah. It was the first time he had seen Kevin so competitive.

As the car pulled away, Steven watched them leave, showing no visible emotion. A text came through on his phone: "Dinner is ready, when are you coming home?" He pocketed the phone and walked away.

Back at home, Norah worried about the possibility of Kevin's dart wound being infected and called the family doctor. Afterward, Kevin received a tetanus shot.

Kevin, unsure about Norah's relationship with Steven, asked casually, "Was it just a coincidence you met Steven again?"

"Yes," Norah replied. "He's my friend, and there's nothing wrong with us meeting up. It doesn't interfere with work."

Kevin, clearly irritated, responded, "Do you really believe he sees you as just a friend?"

Norah, calm but firm, said, "We are only friends."

Despite years of being together, Norah had very few friends besides Gloria and Steven, who were both old classmates. She had barely made friends outside of school.

Kevin grew colder, saying, "You’re my wife. Keep your distance from other men."

Norah countered, "Then why don't you keep your distance from Bianca? You can't have double standards."

Kevin's jaw tightened. "Those situations are not the same."

"But I think they are," Norah replied calmly. She had done enough for him and wouldn't accept the unfairness anymore. "After we divorce, both of us will have the right to find happiness. You can't control everything."

Hearing that, Kevin clenched his fists in anger. Did she feel trapped in this marriage? Would Steven be her next target once they divorced?

Kevin stared at Norah, his eyes narrowing with a dangerous glint, but said nothing more.

The next day, the city was bustling with more sanitation workers cleaning the streets. Edwards' charity event was still running, and water was being handed out to workers. Hundreds of water boxes were ready in the warehouse.

Norah was busy overseeing the distribution and had someone report to Kevin.

Kevin, back from outside, listened to the report and, noticing Norah working, called out coldly, "Secretary White."

Norah hurried over, "Yes, Mr. Edwards?"

"If you're free this afternoon, come with us to help."

Everyone was surprised. This was hard labor, and no one expected a woman to do it, especially in the heat.

Norah, knowing she had no choice, said, "Okay, Mr. Edwards."

"Good," Kevin said indifferently and left for his office.

At one in the afternoon, Norah and the team started distributing water under the blazing sun. Wearing a skirt and heels, it was difficult for her to move around, but she managed.

After handing out several boxes of water, a group of men approached, eyeing her inappropriately. They asked for water, but Norah held her ground. "The water is only for sanitation workers," she said firmly.

The men, looking her up and down, pushed back. "That's unfair."

Norah, irritated, stepped back and said sternly, "Read the sign on the truck. We're only giving water to sanitation workers!"

Seeing the situation, her male colleagues quickly stepped in to protect her. The men, realizing they were outnumbered, left.

One colleague asked, "Are you alright, Secretary White?"

"I'm fine. Let’s finish up here," Norah replied, wiping sweat from her face.

Meanwhile, Kevin was watching from the office window. His friend Esteban noticed him staring and teased, "Why are you just standing there? Go help her."

Kevin remained silent, watching Norah as she worked hard, showing respect and kindness to the workers. Seeing someone eye her made his mood sour.

"Why weren't you at the office yesterday? Was it because of your wife?" Esteban asked, sipping wine. Kevin had skipped a planned night out.

Kevin frowned, unsure why he was acting differently. He had never cared so much about Norah before, but now her words and actions were getting under his skin.
