Chapter 270

Kevin knelt on one knee, and the group of men behind him followed suit. The sheer force of the gesture sent a wave of tension through the room.

Gwen stumbled backward, her confidence faltering. Even Norah, who rarely showed surprise, stood frozen, her expression betraying her shock.

“Kevin, what are you doing?” Gwen demanded, her voice laced with unease.

Lowering his head, Kevin replied firmly, “Mom, please, entrust Norah to me.”

Kevin’s usual demeanor with others was assertive and commanding, but with Norah’s family, he was unfailingly respectful.

Gwen, despite her growing doubts about their marriage, was taken aback. For someone as proud as Kevin to humble himself like this—it forced her to reconsider. She hesitated, caught between anger and uncertainty.
