Mr. Edwards’ Unraveled Life chapter 140

Chapter 140Norah’s voice was steady, almost detached. “I won’t ruin Aunt Bonnie’s fun, but what about mine?”

Kevin’s expression tightened. “Norah, don’t forget—you were the one who told my grandfather you wanted to marry me.”

The thought of the $10 million and those shares weighed heavily on Norah’s mind. A headache throbbed, and an invisible grip seemed to squeeze her heart. She struggled to breathe. Talking more with Kevin felt pointless, so she leaned against the car window and shut her eyes.

Kevin, noticing her fatigue, stayed silent. The rest of the ride passed in quiet tension.

Soon, the driver pulled up at the mansion gates. Kevin was about to let her rest, but Norah unexpectedly opened the door and stepped out. Her steady stride made Kevin realize she hadn’t been sleeping; she just didn’t want to engage with him.

Kevin’s jaw clenched as he followed. “Take a look around inside. If everything’s fine, we’ll head over to Aunt Bonnie’s to get changed.”

“What could possibly be wrong? A mansion owned by Mr. Edwards has to have the best of everything.” Norah’s smile was thin and cold.
