Ch. 365: Mr. Edwards’ Unraveled Life Chapter 365

Chapter 365

Frank was a little slower than Levi.

Levi smirked at him and said, “Hurry up!”

Inside the house, Norah was startled by the commotion. Panicking, she pushed Kevin away.

Kevin, unfazed, picked up his fork and continued eating as if nothing had happened.

Norah, her face flushed, didn’t dare to lift her head. She hoped they wouldn’t notice anything unusual.

When Norah pushed Kevin, he stumbled back slightly, caught off guard by her strength. Glancing toward the door, Kevin saw Levi and Frank standing there like sentinels, blocking the view.

Kevin’s expression darkened. He was clearly annoyed—good moments ruined were never welcome. His sharp, cold eyes locked on the two.

Levi and Frank peeked inside and noticed the pair casually eating. They had no idea that just moments ago, the atmosphere had been far more intimate.

Kevin’s wrinkled shirt bore evidence of Norah’s earlier grip. Levi, clueless and eager to help, offered earnestly, “Captain Edwards, you must’ve slept poorly last night. Your clothes are all wrinkled. Let me straighten them for you!”

Kevin’s response was swift—a sharp kick to Levi’s leg.

“Ouch!” Levi yelped, rubbing his leg. “Captain Edwards, why’d you kick me?”

Frank, meanwhile, couldn’t stop snickering.

Levi, annoyed, shot Frank a glare. Kevin, however, cut the moment short. “You two, go run a hundred laps!”

Frank’s laughter ceased instantly. He protested, “Captain, why me? He’s the one who messed up!”

Kevin’s icy stare turned to Frank. “Make it one hundred and fifty for you.”

Frank’s face fell. Levi, on the other hand, was relieved.

“Move!” Kevin barked.

Neither dared to disobey. They stood at attention, saluted, and marched outside.

The weather was great, but neither expected to start their day with such punishment.

“Yes, sir!” they chorused, beginning their grueling run.

Inside, Norah finally dared to speak. “Wasn’t that a bit harsh?”

Kevin replied calmly, “It’s daily training—they’re used to it. Don’t worry about them.”

Norah watched as Kevin started changing clothes. “When will you be back?” she asked softly.

“I’ll be home tonight,” he replied. “If you’re bored, invite a friend out. I’ll assign someone to keep you safe.”

Norah nodded. As usual, she helped him straighten his attire.

Kevin smiled and said, “You don’t need to worry so much. I can manage.”

Norah laughed. “My husband looks neat and handsome every day because of me. That’s my sense of accomplishment.”

Kevin teased, “Too handsome—aren’t you afraid someone might steal me away?”

Norah smirked. “Who’d dare? If you were that easy to steal, someone would’ve done it long ago. But no, you’ll just come back to me, won’t you?”

Her confidence stemmed from their seven years together. Kevin, despite being surrounded by temptation, had always remained disciplined.

Dressed and ready, Kevin knelt to kiss her growing belly. “Baby, Daddy’s going to work. Be good and don’t trouble Mommy, okay?”

He kissed Norah’s forehead before heading out.

Norah followed him to the door, noticing Levi and Frank still running laps, drenched in sweat and chanting their routine slogans.

Satisfied with their efforts, Kevin got into his car and signaled them to stop. Only then did they finish.

Norah watched them leave before returning inside.

She picked up her phone and saw the growing popularity of Glory. Nellie had praised her for her vision, claiming her script was a cut above the rest.

Meanwhile, Sasha’s fame had skyrocketed. Her posters dominated the city, and fans even funded subway ads promoting her show multiple times daily.

Sasha, recently discharged from the hospital, was now swamped with endorsements and projects. Despite her hectic schedule, she still messaged Norah often to maintain their bond.

Looking at Sasha’s glowing success, Norah felt immense pride—just as she had when she first helped Sasha rise to the top.

In high spirits, Norah returned to her bedroom, picked out a few flattering maternity dresses, and admired herself in the mirror.

Kevin arrived at the research lab. The room was dim, and Jace was immersed in an experiment. Seeing Kevin, Jace stopped and handed him a vial.

“I tested this on mice. It should neutralize Norah’s poison,” Jace said.

Kevin’s face lit up. “Really? This will save her!”

Jace nodded. “You should take it to her right away.”

Grateful, Kevin responded, “Thank you, Jace!”

Jace waved it off. “I still need to analyze the poison in your blood. Let me get back to work.”

Kevin didn’t linger. Holding the antidote tightly, he was about to leave when someone approached.

“Captain Edwards, Bianca insists on seeing you. She says it’s urgent.”

Kevin frowned. Handing the antidote to Levi, he ordered, “Deliver this to Madam personally.”

“Yes, sir!” Levi took the task seriously and left immediately.

Kevin went to see Bianca, who was confined in a detention cell.

She sat on the floor, shackled, her hair disheveled, looking deranged.

Kevin stood outside, his expression cold.

When Bianca noticed him, she forced a smile, attempting to tidy her hair. “Kevin, you’re here! Are you here to take me out?”

Her hopeful tone didn’t faze him.

“I’m here to hear what’s so important—not your fantasies,” Kevin replied icily.
