Ch. 307: Mr. Edwards’ Unraveled Life Chapter 307

Chapter 307

Norah’s expression soured, but she still set her phone aside.

Lying on her side in bed, she listened to the sound of running water in the bathroom. Her heart was restless.

What was Kevin doing this afternoon?

Did he visit the crime scene of the female corpse, or was he with Bianca?

A vague unease crept in. She trusted Kevin. After three years of marriage, he had never acted this strangely. He had always been attentive, caring, and protective of her.

She could see the love in his eyes—love meant solely for her.

He had always promised to love her forever.

She would always be his Mrs. Edwards.

But Kevin’s recent behavior unsettled her. It felt like there were things he wasn’t telling her, secrets he was hiding.

Lost in her thoughts, Norah barely noticed Kevin finishing his shower.

He stepped out, drying his hair with a towel, and glanced over to see if she was asleep.

Norah stirred and looked up at him.

Kevin lowered his gaze and walked toward her. “You’re still awake?”

“I was waiting for you,” she replied softly.

Kevin finished drying his hair and climbed into bed.

Instinctively, Norah wrapped her arms around his waist, resting her head against him.

Kevin gently stroked her hair. “What’s wrong?”

Norah hesitated. She didn’t ask why he had called Bianca.

If it had been an innocent conversation, why did his expression look so heavy afterward?

Shaking her head, she said, “It’s nothing. Let’s just sleep.”

Kevin lay beside her, staring at the ceiling in silence. After a long pause, he finally said, “I’ll be home late tomorrow. You should rest early.”

Norah, who had already closed her eyes, opened them again. “Alright, I understand.”

Kevin turned toward her, wrapped his arms around her waist, and pulled her close.

Norah had countless questions, but as Kevin embraced her tightly, all her doubts melted away.

They were husband and wife, after all.

Norah took his hand and placed it on her stomach. “Whatever it is, we can face it together.”

Kevin felt her warmth, and his eyes flickered with emotion.

Her words stirred something deep within him, but he held back his feelings.

Kevin had his own worries—his own helplessness.

He hugged her even tighter, burying his face in her hair so she couldn’t see his troubled expression. “Go to sleep,” he murmured.

Norah smiled faintly and closed her eyes.

She had been feeling more tired lately and could barely keep her eyes open waiting for Kevin to return. Soon, she drifted off to sleep.

Kevin, however, couldn’t rest.

He lay awake, watching her peaceful face as she slept.

The next day, Norah woke up around noon.

Kevin was already gone.

She dragged herself out of the bedroom just as Elodie was coming downstairs.

“Sis, you’re finally awake! It’s already noon. I’ve been waiting for you all morning!” Elodie pouted.

Norah had promised they’d go out together today.

“I slept for over ten hours,” Norah remarked, surprised.

“Why are you sleeping so much? Is it normal for pregnant women to sleep this long?” Elodie asked, puzzled.

Norah wasn’t sure either. Was it really okay to be this tired?

“And Brother Kevin left early this morning,” Elodie muttered. “He promised to have lunch with you, didn’t he?”

Norah smiled understandingly. “He’s been busy lately. We’ll catch up when he has time.”

“Whatever,” Elodie grinned. “Let’s go to the mall. I’ll get you a cute vegetable basket—practical and stylish!”

Norah chuckled. “So generous of you!”

“Of course! If I don’t treat you well, Brother Kevin will glare at me.”

Norah laughed, quickly changing into something comfortable before heading out with Elodie.

A driver and bodyguard escorted them to the mall.

Norah had taken time off from the TV station, but she still kept tabs on Emani’s situation and any pressing matters at work.

Meanwhile, Sasha had been discharged from the hospital, and the lead role in their drama was recast. Though Sasha was initially set to continue, she declined.

At the mall, luxury brands lined every corner—clothes, bags, and shoes everywhere.

VIP customers like Elodie never had to wait in line. The moment they walked in, sales associates attended to them immediately.

Elodie handed Norah a vegetable basket to try. “This one suits you perfectly—lightweight and a great color for you.”

“It’s nice,” Norah agreed, “but I like the one over there better.”

Elodie spotted it. “Oh, Chanel? Say no more, let’s check it out!”

Norah teased, “Isn’t it pricey? I don’t want to bankrupt you.”

Elodie smirked. “Sis, I’ll buy you ten baskets if you want. Brother Kevin might scare me, but I’m no cheapskate!”

“You’re such a show-off,” Norah joked, laughing.

The two browsed for a while, purchasing a few items before moving to another store.

“This bag is stunning!” Elodie exclaimed.

“It’s part of our latest limited edition,” the sales associate chimed in. “Only ten exist worldwide.”

A familiar voice cut through the chatter.

“Do you think this bag suits me?” Bianca’s voice carried across the room.

Norah looked up and froze.

There was Bianca, holding the bag she had seen in a magazine.

“It’s perfect,” Bianca said, turning to the man beside her.

Norah’s breath hitched as Kevin stepped forward and handed a gold card to the clerk.

“Charge it to my card,” he said firmly.

“Yes, Mr. Edwards,” the clerk replied.

Norah’s heart sank as she stared at Kevin standing beside Bianca.

This must be a nightmare.

She tried to convince herself it wasn’t real, that it couldn’t be true.

But deep down, she knew Kevin’s affection for Bianca was real.

“Isn’t that Brother Kevin?” Elodie exclaimed. “How could he be with another woman, buying her bags? This isn’t right!”
