Ch. 372: Mr. Edwards’ Unraveled Life Chapter 372

Chapter 372

Nellie refused again, shaking her head. “Forget it, dating is too much trouble.”

She had never been in a relationship before. It just seemed like a hassle.

Having attended an all-girls school since childhood, she had little interaction with men and never gave romance much thought.

In fact, she wasn’t particularly fond of men at all.

“This little pacifier is adorable,” Norah said, accepting the gift. “Thank you. You’re really thoughtful about the baby.”

“What’s the trouble? We’re the baby’s godmothers!”

Norah chuckled. “Well, my kid is lucky—one godmother is a famous star, another is a director and screenwriter, and an artist too. He’s set for life. No need to struggle with godmothers like you.”

Gloria smirked. “If we’re such a big deal, wouldn’t a powerful father be even better?”

Norah thought for a moment, then frowned. “I don’t know… It’s better to be careful. If we spoil him too much, what if he turns out to be a troublemaker? If he goes down the wrong path, I won’t be able to rest easy—even in my grave!”

The room fell silent.

Everyone stared at Norah, surprised and a little uneasy.

Did she really just say that?

Realizing her slip, Norah quickly waved it off. “I’m just kidding! Don’t take it seriously. Of course, I’ll raise him right.”

“You scared me to death!” Nellie patted her chest. “Besides, he won’t just have a strong father—he’s got a strong mother too! Don’t forget, Norah, you’re climbing the ranks. Oh, speaking of good news—we got shortlisted for the Gold Award!”

Norah’s eyes lit up. “Seriously?”

Nellie grabbed her hands, grinning. “Yes! And maybe Sasha will even win Best Actress! I can’t contain my excitement!”

“That’s amazing!” Norah was genuinely happy for them.

Nellie beamed. “You have to be there! You’re the director and investor—our backbone!”

Norah nodded. “When is it?”

“Next month! It’s finally happening!” Nellie hugged her tightly and gave her a big kiss, bursting with excitement.

Gloria smiled warmly. “All that hard work finally paid off.” She turned to Norah. “Congratulations—you’ll be a renowned director soon.”

Norah laughed. “I wouldn’t go that far. I just stumbled into this. It’s Nellie who really deserves the credit.”

She still saw herself as a newcomer in the industry—learning, experimenting, pushing herself. But every new challenge made her more determined.

As they chatted happily, they heard a noise outside.

The door opened, and Kevin stepped into the room.

Norah’s face lit up. His usually sharp features softened as he looked at her. “What’s got you all so happy?”

The moment Kevin walked in, the room fell silent.

It was automatic—part intimidation, part unfamiliarity.

Norah, still smiling, picked up a tiny onesie. “You came at the right time. Look at this—it’s what they bought for the baby. Isn’t it adorable?”

Kevin stepped closer, and the others instinctively moved aside. He picked up the tiny outfit, his expression softening. “It’s so small… so cute.”

“Right? I can’t wait for him to arrive,” Norah murmured, leaning against him. “Watching him grow from a tiny baby into an adult—it’s an incredible feeling. One day, when we’re old, looking back on all of this will feel surreal.”

Kevin fell quiet at the mention of growing old. Holding her close, he imagined their future together.

“If it’s a boy,” he said thoughtfully, “we need to be strict. Teach him to respect his elders, value women, and be a man of responsibility. If we have a daughter… we’ll spoil her. Give her so much love that no boy can ever fool her.”
