Ch. 316: Mr. Edwards’ Unraveled Life Chapter 316

Chapter 316

Kevin glanced at her and insisted, "Take this road."

His tone was firm, unwilling to back down.

Norah, already irritated, couldn't argue with him any longer. Instead, frustration simmered within her.

She walked ahead, determined to distance herself, while Kevin followed behind in his car.

Refusing to go home, Norah deliberately chose the opposite direction. Kevin, noticing this, frowned and honked the horn. "This isn't the way home," he called out through the window.

"I never said I was going home," Norah snapped. "Am I not allowed to go shopping?"

Her mocking tone continued. "What a coincidence, Mr. Edwards. Looks like we're still on the same road."

Kevin remained silent, his expression unreadable.

Norah’s frustration boiled over. Stopping in her tracks, she turned to face him, her anger plain on her face. "Are you done?"

Kevin raised an eyebrow, unfazed. "What’s the problem?"

Norah parked her bicycle, marched up to him, and let loose. "Stop following me! We're nothing to each other anymore. You're driving me insane! Weren't you the one who wanted the divorce? You made it clear you didn’t want to see me again. And now you’re here, acting like this? What do you even want?"

Kevin said nothing, his silence adding to her ire.

"I thought you were better than this, Kevin. If you wanted out, you should’ve stayed out. You can’t have it both ways. If you’re unwilling to fully let go, at least have the decency to admit it."

Her voice sharpened. "Or are you just greedy? Are you the type to keep your options open, unable to decide? If that's the case, then I don’t respect you at all. I don’t need your pity, and I certainly don’t need you hovering around me. Just stay out of my life!"

Without waiting for a response, Norah mounted her bike and pedaled away, heading home.

This time, Kevin didn’t follow her.

Homebound Reflection

When Norah arrived, Jace had already tidied up the garden.

"You’re done already?" she asked, impressed.

"Pretty much," Jace replied, wiping his hands. "These flowers are in good shape. They’ll bloom beautifully."

Norah handed him a bottle of water. "Thanks, you’ve been a huge help."

Jace smiled warmly. "No need to thank me; I’m happy to do it."

As he noticed her carrying several shopping bags, concern crept into his voice. "You’re pregnant—why didn’t you drive instead of biking? It looks like you bought quite a lot."

Norah shrugged. "I didn’t plan on buying much, but things didn’t go as expected."

She sighed. "I’ll take a quick shower. I’m heading back to the station tomorrow."

Jace frowned slightly. "You’re not taking more time off?"

"I’ve had enough rest. If I sit around too long, I’ll lose my mind. It’s time to get back to normal."

"Fair enough," Jace said with a nod.

Back to Work

At the station, Norah was immediately bombarded by questions from Emani.

Norah waved them off. "Work first. What you see is what you get."

Although Emani quieted down, Norah could still feel the tension in the air. The others in the office weren’t as discreet.

"Did you see the latest news? Bianca's popularity is through the roof!"

"Apparently, she’s marrying Kevin. The rumors are everywhere!"

"It’s like a novel come to life!"

"But didn’t Kevin propose to someone else during that live stream? That wasn’t Bianca!"

The office erupted into chatter, speculating about the identity of the woman in the video.

Norah tried to tune them out, but in her line of work, gossip was impossible to escape.

Plotting Sasha’s Comeback

Turning to Emani, Norah shifted focus. "How’s Sasha doing?"

"She’s been getting some scripts, but nothing good. The decent ones don’t consider her, and she doesn’t want to touch the bad ones," Emani replied.

Norah nodded thoughtfully. "And Bianca?"

Emani leaned in, her voice lowering. "Because of her connection to Kevin, several big productions are chasing her. I don’t get it—her acting is average at best. It’s just not fair!"

Norah suspected Kevin’s influence, or perhaps Bianca had other powerful backers.

"Give me the list of new TV series in production. I want to take a look," Norah instructed.

Emani quickly printed the list and handed it over. "These are the hottest projects right now. A lot of them are eyeing Bianca. It’s crazy how much attention she’s getting!"

Norah scanned the list, setting aside the most buzz-worthy projects. "Time will eventually bury any negative press about her. If she scores another hit, the public will forget everything else."

Emani frowned. "Why skip the most popular ones? They’re the safest bets!"

Norah glanced up. "Sometimes, it’s the less-hyped projects that surprise everyone."
