Niamh did not forget the time she had previously stumbled upon Kendrick buying a large bouquet of red roses. She had thought that he was seeing other women apart from Nevaeh.
After tailing him, however, she found that he had gone to the cemetery with that bouquet of roses.
It was inconvenient for her to continue following him at the time, so she did not know the reason why Kendrick brought roses to the cemetery. She could not find out even though she had tried researching it.
She also did not pass by here coincidentally today. Instead, she had always been observing his every move in secret.
After discovering that he had gone to the flower shop again, she then deliberately showed up to make it seem that it was a coincidental encounter.
As she was in the midst of her thoughts, Kendrick opened the car door for her.
Niamh quickly came back to her senses and got out of the car.
She pretended to appear curious by looking around. It was then she saw Kendrick already holding the bouquet of roses in his hands the moment she turned her head toward him.
It turned out that he had really been planning to give flowers to someone in this cemetery.
“Does the person you want to give flowers to work around this area?” Niamh asked with confusion.
Kendrick lowered his gaze and smiled, “She’s resting here.”
“…” Niamh’s heartbeat suddenly quickened.
“If you don’t mind, you can come with me,” Kendrick said and turned around.
He went ahead through the path. He had already familiarized himself with this path that he could walk along it with his eyes closed, and he was currently indeed walking down this path instinctively because all his thoughts at the moment were occupied by the past.
He scoffed at his own stupidity for bringing Niamh irreparable injury and insurmountable regrets.
Niamh had always loved him so much.
Her love was like a flower blooming in the dark corners of the night, forbearing and tough.
At first, he could have harvested this flower that was blooming specifically for him, but he had left her alone and cold in this barren land instead…
Niamh followed behind Kendrick without a word.
With every step forward, Niamh’s heart jumped inexplicably.
She looked toward the direction of her grandfather’s cemetery subconsciously, her mind recalling the day when there was a storm of rain and snow. On that day, Kendrick had brutally chiseled the tombstone and scattered her and their child’s ashes.
She would never forget his cold-blooded eyes at the time or his cold look when he said that he would never regret his decisions.
Niamh could not help but clench her fists. She was currently feeling as if the blood in her entire body had been ignited by hatred.
Seeing his tall and good looking back ahead of her, her fingertips trembled. There were already flames set in her eyes.
‘Kendrick, all I did was love you. Why did you have to treat me so cruelly?
‘You can hurt and insult me, but why didn’t you at least let our child off the hook?
‘Are you really that heartless?
‘Or is there only that evil woman Nevaeh in your heart? Is that why you’ve lost even your most basic humanity?’
Niamh was feeling full of hatred, and without noticing that Kendrick had stopped, she knocked into him.
After she regained her balance, she raised her eyes to find that Kendrick was somehow looking shocked. That face of his had tensed up with a scary aura.
Right when she looked toward his line of sight, she saw Kendrick striding toward a particular grave in quick steps.
Niamh caught up, only to see that the cemetery in front of him had been severely damaged. The tomb was chiseled open and the once complete tombstone was smashed to pieces, making it impossible to recognize the owner of the grave.
Just as she was about to question him, Kendrick threw away the roses in his hand and started looking around for something in the desecrated grave. It was as if he had suddenly lost his mind.
His expression was extremely awful. The anxiety and panic between his eyebrows were something Niamh had never seen before.
Niamh’s heart hurt slightly as she looked at the man who was going almost insane.
She was certain that the owner of this grave had to be a woman.
From Kendrick’s reaction right now, she could conclude more so that he really cared about the person who was resting here.
She could not help but laugh, and there was a hint of bitterness and mocking in it.
It turned out that Nevaeh was not Kendrick’s favorite.
It turned out that his favorite was already dead…
“What are you looking for? Do you want me to help you look for it?” Niamh opened her mouth and said calmly. She saw Kendrick’s movements pausing momentarily as if he had only just realized the existence of another living person here.
He stood up slowly, his good-looking appearance covered with indescribable grief and sadness along with a trace of fear while his eyes were filled with a fierce, terrifying light and murderous intent. He looked as if he was afraid that he might not be able to recover something again.
Niamh became even more confused and she asked again while she walked toward him, “Are you alright? What’s going on here?”
“I’ll send you home first.” He finally spoke, and there was no warmth nor emotions that could be sensed from his tone, only the horrifying chill that radiated from him.
Niamh was sent back to the apartment. In the past, Kendrick would usually wait for her to enter the building before he left. Today, however, he drove away immediately after Niamh got out of the car.
She stood in her spot with confusion. Looking at the leaving car, her gaze narrowed.
Who was the woman resting in that grave? She was so important to him that he almost went crazy when he saw that the grave had been destroyed.
On the other side, Kendrick was speeding as he drove straight through the Waldburgs’ gates.
Before the housekeeper could make an announcement, Kendrick had already rushed into the living room with a hostile aura.
At the same time, Nevaeh was drinking afternoon tea and looking at jewelry with Eloise leisurely. When they saw Kendrick appear all of a sudden, both of them were taken aback.
“Kendrick.” Nevaeh was shocked and ran up to him with a face full of surprise. “Kendrick, you’re here to look for me, right?”
Kendrick looked at the face in front of him, his eyes filled with coldness. “You did it, didn’t you?”
“…” Nevaeh looked bamboozled with an innocent expression. “Kendrick, what are you talking about? What did I do? I’ve been with my mother these days and haven’t been anywhere else. “
“Kendrick, what do you mean by this? Rushing here all of a sudden to throw accusations. Is it because Vera has said something again? That b*tch really likes to cause trouble!”
“I wasn’t talking to you. You’d better shut your mouth and don’t let me hear any more slander toward Vera.” Kendrick did not even look at Eloise, his sharp and cold eyes glaring only at Nevaeh. “I’ll give you a chance to confess. Were you the one who had someone carry out that matter at No. 97, Peace Street?”
He said the address straightforwardly, which was the location of the cemetery.
Nevaeh’s eyes widened, filled with confusion. “What No. 97, Peace Street? Kendrick, I really don’t know what you’re talking about.”
Kendrick’s cold eyes were then filled with disappointment. He then sneered, “Looks like you aren’t going to admit it, hm?”
“I… I really don’t know anything, Kendrick…”
“If you don’t confess the truth to me before the night ends, you’ll have to consider the consequences carefully.”
After Kendrick dropped these words, he then turned away coldly.
“Kendrick, Kendrick!” Nevaeh chased after him as he went out, but Kendrick was still walking away decisively.
Niamh’s grave had been destroyed. Her urn and the wedding ring he had placed behind the tombstone were also missing as well.
He really could not think of anyone else who would hate Niamh so much apart from Nevaeh.
Niamh was already dead and her ashes had become his only memory of her. Now, however, even that was missing.
The sky had started to turn gray without his realization after he returned to the villa.
