Ch. 308: Mr. Edwards’ Unraveled Life Chapter 308

Chapter 308

Norah turned her head, her voice trembling. “Is it Kevin?”

Elodie met Norah’s disbelieving eyes. The shock and heartbreak were etched on Norah’s face. She couldn’t accept what she was seeing. Elodie, her expression dark with anger, spat, “That bastard! I thought Brother Kevin was different, but I guess no man can be trusted!”

Elodie continued her tirade, but Norah didn’t hear her. Her gaze remained fixed on Kevin and Bianca.

Bianca held Kevin’s hand, their closeness unmistakable. They looked like they had reconciled, like everything had returned to how it used to be.

Norah stood frozen, her feet rooted to the ground as though she couldn’t move.

When they finally walked out of the store, Bianca clung to Kevin’s arm, smiling as she said, “Kevin, thank you for buying me such an expensive bag.”

There was a giddiness in her tone—a woman basking in the joy of receiving something precious from a man she adored.

“It’s nothing,” Kevin replied coolly. “As long as you like it.”

Bianca tilted her head toward him, her voice soft and sweet. “So, anything I like, you’ll make sure I have it, right?”

Kevin’s response was brief but telling. “Hmm.”

Bianca chuckled lightly. “You’re so good to me. I knew it—you’re the only man for me. I’ll wait for you, Kevin. I’ll wait for your divorce, and then...”

Before she could finish, they both stopped—facing Norah.

The moment froze.

Bianca’s lips curled into a smirk when she saw Norah’s stricken face. “Well, isn’t this a coincidence, Norah? What are the odds we’d run into each other here?”

She deliberately tightened her grip on Kevin’s arm, as if to make it clear who he belonged to.

Norah’s focus, however, was entirely on Kevin.

His expression was unreadable. His lips pressed into a thin line, and his eyes revealed nothing. He didn’t even attempt to explain.

Elodie broke the silence, her tone sharp with indignation. “Brother Kevin, you’re a married man! How can you be out here buying bags for another woman? That’s just wrong!”

Bianca let out a light laugh. “Oh, you must be Elodie, Old Mr. Godin’s granddaughter. You’ve grown so much.”

Elodie glared at her. “Who I am is none of your business. What is your business is how shameless you are, ruining someone else’s marriage. You’re nothing but trouble!”

Bianca didn’t flinch. Instead, she calmly shifted her attention back to Norah. “Why don’t you ask Norah about it? She knows better than anyone else. She’s the one living through it, after all.”

Elodie turned back to Norah, her face twisted with anger and sadness. “Sister Norah, you’re my sister-in-law! She’s not! She’s just a homewrecker—a fox stealing from someone else’s home!”

“Elodie!” Kevin’s voice was cold and firm. “That’s enough. Don’t say things like that.”

But Elodie wasn’t backing down. “What’s wrong with me calling her out? She’s breaking up a family! And you, Brother Kevin—you’re no better! You’re acting like a scumbag! You’re hurting Sister Norah!”

Tears welled in her eyes. She couldn’t believe what she was witnessing.

Norah finally found her voice and gently touched Elodie’s hand. “Elodie, stop.”

She turned to Kevin, her voice trembling. “Is it true?”

Kevin’s eyes met hers, but he said nothing.

Norah pressed on, her desperation spilling out. “Are you with Bianca? Tell me the truth. I’ll only believe what you say!”

Still, Kevin remained silent.

Tears filled Norah’s eyes as she searched for any sign of hope. “If you tell me this isn’t true, I’ll believe you. Even if I saw you holding her hand, even if I saw her clinging to you, I’ll believe there’s an explanation. Just say something. Please, give me a reason to hope.”

Her voice cracked under the weight of her emotions. She felt her entire world crumbling.

Kevin’s silence was deafening.

Tears streamed down her face as the realization sank in. All the love, the promises, the marriage—it all seemed like a cruel illusion.

Finally, Kevin clenched his fists, his hands trembling. His emotions were tightly restrained, but the words that came next felt like a dagger.

“Norah, let’s divorce,” he said flatly.

Bianca’s smirk grew wider. This was the moment she’d been waiting for.

Norah stared at him in disbelief, her voice shaking. “What did you say?”

Kevin forced himself to repeat the words. “Let’s get a divorce.”

Norah’s body felt numb, her mind struggling to process what she was hearing. She let out a bitter laugh, her voice dripping with sarcasm. “Are you serious? You proposed to me in front of everyone. You told me you’d love me forever. You made promises that everyone in the capital knew about. And now you’re talking about divorce? Was it all just a lie?”

Kevin’s voice remained cold. “It’s the end of our three-year marriage. I’ll compensate you.”

Norah laughed again, this time with tears streaming down her cheeks. “Compensate me? Is that what this is to you? A transaction? Was our love—was I—just something you needed to fulfill an obligation?”

Her voice cracked, the pain in her heart unbearable. “Why, Kevin? Why did you give me hope just to take it all away? You knew how much I loved you. I chased after you for years, and now you’re telling me it was all for nothing? How could you be so heartless?”

Kevin’s jaw tightened as he looked away, unable to meet her tearful gaze.

“After the divorce... we won’t see each other again,” he said in a low voice. “You can hate me if that helps.”

Norah’s voice rose, filled with anguish. “How can you say that? Kevin, I’m pregnant with your child!”
