Ch. 93: Mr. Edwards' Unraveled Life chapter 93

Mr. Edwards' Unraveled Life chapter 93 - Esteban noticed Kevin's silence and followed him, saying, "Your wife was chosen by your grandfather. She’s great—well-behaved and understanding. She doesn’t mind how many women you see. What’s the problem? Doesn’t that make you happy?"

Kevin paused before replying, "Yes, she's obedient and sensible. That's what makes her a good choice for a wife."

Esteban raised an eyebrow. "That’s surprising. Are you starting to care about her? You’re not falling for her, are you?" He found it odd since Kevin never seemed to care about Norah’s feelings before.

Looking down at Norah getting along with male colleagues, Esteban smirked. "Your wife seems popular. She fits in well. Didn’t you say you’d divorce her later? Once that happens, she’ll definitely be in high demand."

Kevin's mood darkened at the thought. He knew Norah got along easily with others and was well-liked. His voice grew colder, "You said she'd make a good wife. She should stay in that role."

After finishing the water deliveries, Norah was drenched in sweat as she walked back to the company.

"Secretary White, I didn’t expect you to be this tough. You’re just as capable as us guys!" one of her male colleagues said, surprised. They hadn’t worked closely with her before, and their initial impression was that she was cold and fragile.

Now, they saw she wasn’t arrogant and had fit right in with the team.

Norah smiled. "I'm just handing out water. You guys did the hard work."

"But we’ve changed our minds about you. You’re not so unreachable after all," another colleague joked.

Norah laughed. "I’m not unreachable. We just haven’t worked together much. Once you get to know me, you’ll see I’m not that intimidating."

Her comment made everyone laugh, and they went back to their areas to rest. Norah headed to the upper floors alone.

"Take care, Secretary White," one colleague said as they left.

"Bye!" Norah waved and moved to take the elevator.

Suddenly, a hand grabbed her arm, startling her. Before she could react, she was pulled into the dim stairwell, and a body pressed against her.

She gasped as her mouth was covered, and she realized who it was by his scent. She stopped struggling, recognizing Kevin.

After what felt like forever, Kevin finally pulled back. Norah was sweating, her wet shirt clinging to her figure.

Kevin looked at her with cold, intense eyes, clearly angry. "Is this what you mean by having few male friends? You seem pretty good at making friends." He was frustrated that she smiled more easily at other men than at him.

Norah stayed calm. "Do you expect me to be cold toward my colleagues?"

Kevin's eyes narrowed as he noticed her soaked shirt revealing her underwear. "Did they all see you like this?"

Norah, realizing what he meant, quickly covered her chest. "No. I was wearing a coat then."

Kevin sneered. "Too late to cover up now." His eyes were possessive, and he gripped her chest tightly.

For the first time, Norah saw Kevin look at her in such a possessive, dangerous way. It made her uneasy, and she wanted to get away, but Kevin kept her trapped in the corner.

"Is this what you mean by having the right to happiness?" he mocked, pressing his body against hers.

Norah, confused, asked, "What are you talking about?"

"You have plenty of options, don’t you? After we divorce, you’ll find someone to marry right away," Kevin sneered, his hands moving further, scaring Norah.

"Kevin, let’s talk about this. Someone might see us," she pleaded, her voice trembling.

Kevin saw her flushed face and drenched body and felt a surge of anger at the thought of others seeing her like this. He let go, and Norah collapsed to the ground.

Irritated, Kevin loosened his tie. "You don’t want to be caught? Then you better help me calm down," he said, his tone full of desire.

Norah blushed and, trembling, raised her hand…

Half an hour later, Norah rushed into the bathroom, washing her face and rinsing her mouth. She stared at her reflection, her hair messy, her lips red, and her eyes wet.

Kevin was acting strange today. Why had he suddenly done that? It scared her—there was no room for resistance.

It took her a while to calm down and fix her appearance, trying to look normal again.

After the divorce, they would both be free from this.

Meanwhile, Lola left the hospital and took a taxi to Edwards' office. Kevin hadn’t visited her since dropping her at the hospital, and she was desperate to hold onto him with the baby, hoping he wouldn’t find out the truth.

As she got out of the taxi, she bumped into two people. "Sorry," one of them said.

The person then turned to her and asked, "Do you know how to get to Edwards'?"

Lola pointed to the building. "It’s right in front of you."

"Thanks!" the man said and hurried off.

"Mom, we shouldn’t go. What if your brother-in-law sees you? It’ll be embarrassing," Sierra said nervously.

Linda insisted, "We have to go. How else will we get money? He’s your brother-in-law, the president of Edwards Group. Just because your sister doesn’t care doesn’t mean he doesn’t."

Lola was confused. Brother-in-law? The president of Edwards Group was Kevin. How was he someone else’s brother-in-law?

She hurried after them, asking, "Excuse me, did you say the president of Edwards Group is Kevin?"

Linda turned and said, "Yes, do you know him?"

Lola froze in shock. "How is that possible?"

She looked at Sierra, grabbed her hand, and asked, "You said Kevin is your brother-in-law. Who is your sister?"

Sierra winced in pain and answered, "My sister is Norah."
