“Felipe.”
Suddenly, Kendrick heard Niamh calling out to someone behind him.
He came back to his senses and saw Felipe walking over to him.
Niamh walked past him, and her faint scent lingered in his nostrils. She smelled so sweet and had a unique scent to her.
“Kendrick.” When Felipe saw Kendrick, he greeted him naturally.
He was always so poised and refined, looking like a gentleman in his every move.
Kendrick looked at the two of them as they held hands. He just glanced at them coldly.
Niamh looked at Kendrick and turned around to smile at Felipe. “Felipe, let’s go in.”
“Okay.” Felipe smiled softly, holding Niamh’s hand as he led her into the living room.
Kendrick’s mother was on a call. When she saw Niamh and Felipe walking over hand in hand, she rolled her eyes in contempt before hanging up.
“Oh, Felipe, you’re here,” Kendrick’s mother said in a strange voice. Then, she looked at Niamh from the corner of her eyes. “Say, are you really going to marry this woman?”
Felipe smiled. He was being extremely polite. “As my elder, I hope you can have some respect. The woman you’re talking about is my fiancée.”
“Hmph.” Kendrick’s mother scoffed. When she saw Kendrick, she quickly walked over to him. “Kendrick, did you hear that? Are you seeing this? Your uncle is going to marry someone who looks like your ex-wife! How interesting!”
She deliberately spoke in a louder voice so that Old Master Waldburg could hear them as he was walking downstairs right at this moment.
“Felipe, it’s no wonder you were always so concerned about Niamh every time you came back. You had feelings for her back then, right? So the moment she died, you searched high and low for a woman who looks like her as her replacement. You’re really something else.”
Kendrick’s mother’s words made Kendrick recall what happened that night.
Back then, Niamh was indeed close with Felipe. They were so close that he found the two to be a sore sight. Plus, it made him feel uncomfortable.
Thinking about it now, he realized that he had been jealous. He took it to heart when Niamh got too close to another man who was not him. He would feel uncomfortable.
“Old Master, look, what is this? Felipe brought this woman home and is saying he’ll marry her seven days later. However, just look at her. She looks the same as that b*tch Niamh. If we let him marry her, it’s just going to nauseate me—”
“Shut up!” Old Master Waldburg interrupted angrily.
Kendrick’s mother shut her mouth and rolled her eyes in frustration.
“I will never agree to this marriage!”
“I didn’t come here to ask for your permission. I only came to notify you because you’re my relatives,” Felipe replied Kendrick’s mother in a cool tone.
There was a slight hint of anger on his usually gentle and elegant face.
Niamh smiled. “Felipe, don’t be mad. I don’t mind what people think. Being able to marry you is the luckiest thing that has ever happened to me.”
“No, I’m the luckiest man in the world to be able to marry you.” Felipe’s long fingers were intertwined with Niamh’s slender ones. While looking at her, his beautiful eyes were filled with so much love and gentleness that it made Niamh feel lost.
“Are you guys really going to marry each other?” Old Master Waldburg asked all of a sudden. “Are you sure you won’t regret this?”
Niamh turned around quickly. She averted Felipe’s amorous gaze and looked at the old master. “Of course,” she said confidently.
Old Master Waldburg frowned. His eyes were glued on Niamh’s face and there was worry in his eyes. “Alright, then I agree to it.”
“I don’t.” After the old master said that, Kendrick’s opposing voice sounded.
Everyone’s gaze landed on Kendrick who had voiced his opinion all of a sudden.
There was a layer of frost on his handsome face and his eyes looked as piercing as icepicks.
“Kendrick, I’ll marry Vera no matter what,” Felipe said calmly, but his tone was firm.
“I won’t let you guys get married.” Kendrick’s calm and unhurried answer crashed against him. His tone was even firmer than Felipe’s.
Niamh frowned. “What do you mean by this, Mr. Waldburg? Who are you to oppose our marriage?”
He pressed his lips together as his icy gaze landed on Niamh’s face. His eyes were filled with intense encroachment.
“I won’t let you become my aunt because of your face.”
His tone was domineering while his expression was cold and certain.
Niamh scoffed. “I can’t marry your uncle just because I look like your ex-wife? If that’s the case, do you think it’s only suitable for me to marry a man who looks like you, Mr. Waldburg?”
Kendrick was tongue-tied. He looked straight at her and their eyes met. It felt like sparks would appear whenever their eyes met.
“You’re delusional if you think you can marry our Kendrick!” Kendrick’s mother jeered arrogantly out of the blue, “In the entire Glendale, only Miss Nevaeh Montgomery is worthy of our Kendrick! They’re going to marry soon! You? Hmph! Women who look like that b*tch Niamh are all bad news.”
Kendrick frowned unhappily when he heard his mother’s insults. His tone was icy when he spoke, “How many times do I have to tell you? My marriage to the Montgomeries is canceled. I won’t marry her anymore!”
His mother was still feeling proud of herself when she heard him. She did not expect to be proved wrong by her son.
Her face was red from embarrassment. Then, she advised him, saying, “Kendrick, I know there are some misunderstandings between you and Nevaeh, but stop throwing tantrums. Nevaeh gave birth to your child, so how can you not marry her? She loves you so much and listens to everything you say. Where else are you going to find such a perfect wife?”
“Do you think she’s the only woman who loves me?” Kendrick asked coldly. He could only think of Niamh right now.
He would never meet a woman who loved him as much as her.
She was the only one.
Kendrick’s mother was taken aback. She did not know what to say at that moment.
