Mr. Edwards' Unraveled Life chapter 27

Chapter 27Hearing Norah’s words in her sleep, Kevin’s expression turned cold, and a heavy feeling settled in his chest. Ignoring her crying, he walked to the window, lit a cigarette, and let the smoke fill the air, thick with tension. After finishing his cigarette, he left the bedroom and didn’t return.

The next morning, Norah woke up with a pounding headache. She felt disoriented as she got out of bed, her head feeling heavier than her feet. She poured herself a glass of water to try and clear her head. When she looked in the bathroom mirror, she saw that her eyes were swollen—clearly, she hadn’t slept well the night before.

She remembered that Kevin had brought her home last night, but he wasn’t in bed next to her, which meant he hadn’t slept there. However, she recalled him taking care of her for a long time, something he’d never done before.

Norah was puzzled. Why had Kevin been by her side last night? Despite her foul mood, Kevin hadn’t gotten angry; instead, he had comforted her.

After getting ready, Norah went downstairs for breakfast. She expected to see Kevin, but he wasn’t there. She asked the servant, “Where’s Kevin?”

“The master left early this morning,” the servant replied.

It was the weekend. Norah took out her phone and looked at Kevin’s WhatsApp contact. She typed a message: Thank you for yesterday.
