Ch. 515: Mr. Edwards’ Unraveled Life Chapter 515

Chapter 515

Pharaoh said, "I'm not saying I don't support you being with Norah. It's just that I'm worried about..."

"Don't worry. No matter what happens, we'll face it together," Norah interrupted, stepping forward.

Kevin had never wavered in his decision.

Seeing that, Norah felt a deep ache inside. She had been worrying about him, but all this time, he had been thinking of her. Then why shouldn't they stand together and plan for the future as one?

Smiling, Norah reached for Kevin’s hand, intertwining their fingers.

Pharaoh sighed, his tone gentle. "If you've made up your minds, I'll do everything I can to help you. I won’t bring this up again."

Although he couldn’t neutralize the poison Kevin’s father had used, Pharaoh had another plan. "Kevin, you can draw him out."

Mousse’s actions weren’t entirely unjustified. Kevin understood his father’s perspective. From Mousse’s point of view, Kevin had refused to follow orders and had turned against his own blood. Since Mousse had saved Kevin’s life before, yet Kevin refused to serve him, he saw no value in keeping him alive.

After saying his piece, Pharaoh left. He knew Kevin and Norah had plenty to talk about.

Once they were alone, Norah pulled Kevin into a tight embrace. Her voice was hoarse. "Kevin, no matter what happens, we’ll face it together. We’re a family—we belong together."

Kevin held her close. "I know. As long as you and Cooper are safe, I can handle my father. Pharaoh's suggestion aligns with my own plan."

Norah nodded. "I know. But promise me, whatever you do, think about me and our child first. Be careful."

She reached out to touch his face, her fingers brushing gently over his skin.

Kevin caught her hand, squeezing it. "Of course."

But before Kevin could make a move, Pharaoh acted first.

Pharaoh personally reached out to Mousse.

"I saw the men you sent," Pharaoh said. "I know country S has been struggling lately. The Yi tribe is willing to supply you with medicinal resources and military aid—free of charge."

There was only one condition: Mousse had to stop interfering and let Kevin and Norah be together.

But for Mousse, Kevin’s return was worth more than any supplies. He knew Kevin had the talent to elevate country S to new heights. Losing him was not an option.

He wanted to see just how long Kevin could resist.

"I understand your love for your daughter, but this is not your decision to make," Mousse said coldly, hanging up the call.

Pharaoh sighed. It was clear—Mousse wouldn’t back down unless Kevin confronted him directly.

Kevin had already anticipated this. He reached out and requested a face-to-face meeting with Mousse.

Mousse agreed. He wanted to see if Kevin’s resolve could outlast his own.

But Mousse underestimated him. He was careless, and Kevin and his men swiftly surrounded him.

Kevin wouldn’t harm Mousse, but he needed to limit his power. He had Mousse restrained.

"I grew up in the Edwards family. You didn’t raise me, and you don’t own me," Kevin said, his voice cold. "I won’t kill you, but your people…"

He let the sentence trail off deliberately, his expression unreadable.

Mousse scoffed. "You think you can threaten me? You won’t harm innocent people. If you were capable of that, you wouldn’t have left the country for peacekeeping missions. I know you, Kevin. You don’t have it in you."

Kevin said nothing.

And so, the standoff continued.

But despite everything, Norah still made sure Mousse received three meals a day.

Mousse refused to eat. His attitude toward Norah remained cold. "Do you think bringing me food will change my mind?"

Norah wasn’t fazed. "You’re his father. I don’t want to see this stalemate continue. If you want to talk, we can talk. If not, just eat."

She had done nothing to deserve his hatred, yet his resentment toward her was undeniable.

Mousse studied her. She was nothing like Pharaoh.

Pharaoh had been obsessed with his experiments, indifferent to morality. Norah, on the other hand…

"I know what you're thinking," Norah said suddenly. "You believe your chosen fiancée is the only one who can help Kevin."

Mousse didn’t respond, but his silence was answer enough.

Norah smiled. "I still haven't accepted my father, even though he's changed a lot. I know he's tried to do right by me, but I’ve seen too much of his cruelty. I can't forget it.

"You’re the leader of a country, Mousse. Do you really think a lose-lose situation is the best outcome?"

Mousse had saved Kevin’s life. If he truly wanted Kevin dead, he never would have saved him in the first place. That was why Norah stood here now.

She didn’t expect to change Mousse’s mind completely, but she believed he could understand her logic.

After all, he was a ruler, not a fool.

Mousse fell silent. Her words struck a nerve. He did want the best for his country, but more than that, he wanted Kevin by his side.

But Kevin had never cared about power.

Finally, Mousse spoke. "Fine. I’ll stop interfering. But you and Kevin must return to country S with me."

Kevin stood up. "I left country S, and I won’t go back. Cooper is being treated here. If you had a solution for him, he wouldn’t be in this condition now."

Mousse’s expression didn’t change. "Think about it."

Some decisions couldn’t be forced. They had to be made willingly.

After that, Kevin carried Norah out of the room.

Mousse wasn’t locked up inside the Yi tribe. Kevin had arranged for him to stay elsewhere, something Norah knew about. That’s why she had been bringing him food.

"Did he eat?" Norah asked, resting her head on Kevin’s shoulder. "I wasn’t trying to have a meal with him. I just want to know if he’s okay."

She was always worried about Kevin’s health.

When the poison acted up, Kevin was in unbearable pain. But he wouldn’t let Norah see that.

"I'm fine," he assured her. "Mousse is just testing me. He won’t hold out much longer."

After a moment, he added, "You should check on Cooper. He barely spoke before, but now that he's with you, he’s opening up more."

Norah smiled, feeling reassured. "If you want to go back, we’ll go back together."

No matter what happened, she couldn’t leave Kevin behind.
