Chapter 172 – Until You Say Sorry Novel

As he spoke, there was melancholy in his eyes all of a sudden.

After staying quiet for a few seconds, Kendrick said, “I owe it to her.”

“You owe it to her?”

‘You owe it to her?

‘Kendrick, you owed me as well, but you forgot about it.’

Niamh laughed and did not ask anymore. She said slowly, “Alright, if that’s the case, I won’t make it more difficult for you. However, if you say you’re serious about marrying me, then you should prove it.”

When he heard this, the melancholy on Kendrick’s face disappeared slightly. “What do you want me to do? I can do anything as long as it’s within my power.”

Niamh smiled. “Easy. Go to a place with me tomorrow. I’ll tell you where we’re going when you pick me up tomorrow morning.”

“Okay,” Kendrick answered without hesitating.

For some reason, looking at the smile on that face in front of him, Kendrick felt more cheerful than before.

Kendrick went back to his house, and the moment he entered, he saw Nevaeh running toward him.

“Kendrick, you’re finally home.” Her face was filled with worry and she was evidently flustered. “I was so scared that you wouldn’t come back.”

Kendrick walked around her coldly as he spoke in a sarcastic tone, “Why aren’t you preparing for the wedding? Why are you here?”

“You’re my groom. Who will I go to if I don’t come to you?” Nevaeh walked in front of Kendrick shyly. “Kendrick, I’m finally going to become your bride. I’m so happy.”

Kendrick looked at her and smiled superficially. “As long as you’re happy. If you’re done being happy, remember to give me back what belongs to me.”

“…” The smile on Nevaeh’s face froze while her shy look from earlier had disappeared as well. She knew that Kendrick was talking about Niamh’s ashes.

He was very concerned about Niamh indeed.

Thankfully, he did not have a clue that Niamh was the little girl he had been thinking about for the past ten years.

If he knew about that, he would be crazily in love with Niamh.

Nevaeh was secretly relieved. Then, she smiled flatteringly.

“Kendrick, I know you’re still blaming me. It’s fine. As long as I can marry you and become your wife, I’m willing to be misunderstood,” she said understandably before frowning.

“However, Kendrick, don’t get fooled by that Vera Quinn. She’s not a good person. She’s in a relationship with your uncle one second, and in the next second, she claims to be pregnant with your child. It’s fine if she looks the same as Nia, but they’re also equally fickle.”

“Enough,” Kendrick said in agitation. His sharp gaze scanned across Nevaeh before he continued, “Just because I’m not saying some things out loud doesn’t mean I don’t know about them. Stop challenging my patience. My patience for you has a limit.”

“…” Nevaeh was speechless. Her body went cold after Kendrick looked at her with an icy gaze.

‘Has he seen my dark past online?

‘Did he also see the intimate photos of me and Tanner?

‘No.

‘Kendrick hasn’t seen them. If he has, he would’ve questioned me about it.’

She thought about it wishfully and put on her aggrieved mask again.

“Kendrick, I’m sorry. I won’t say things like that to upset you again.” Nevaeh apologized. Her eyes looked extremely pitiful. “Kendrick, the staff from the bridal shop called me. We can go for the fitting tomorrow. I’ve been waiting for this day for so long.”

“I’m not free.” Kendrick rejected her coldly. Then, he turned around to go upstairs.

Nevaeh’s smile cracked. “Kendrick, if you don’t have time tomorrow, I can change it to the day after.”

“I don’t have time the day after as well. If you want to try on wedding dresses, you should go yourself.”

“…”

Nevaeh wanted to keep pestering him, but looking at his cold figure. She chose silence.

She clenched her fists and gritted her teeth. Her heart was filled with dissatisfaction and anger.

However, she managed to suppress them.

It was fine. If he did not want to go to the fitting with her, then she would go herself.

She would become his wife in three days anyway.

When the time came, the entire Glendale and even people all around the world would witness the live broadcast of their grand wedding!

When Nevaeh thought about this, a smile appeared on her face again.

That night, Nevaeh did some self-care, and the next day, she headed to the bridal shop.

This brand of wedding dresses was well-known all around the world. She told the staff about the dress Kendrick pre-ordered. It had just arrived by air yesterday and was worth around seven digits.

Before she met Kendrick, Nevaeh could never imagine that she would be able to wear such an expensive wedding dress.

Now, aside from her status as Miss Montgomery, she was also going to be the madam of an influential family who was second to none.

She was ecstatic.

Since she had revealed what she was going to do before this, when Nevaeh arrived at the bridal shop, there were a lot of journalists surrounding her who wanted to interview her.

“Miss Montgomery, you’re going to marry Mr. Waldburg in two days. How do you feel?”

“I heard you’re going to try on a wedding dress that cost seven digits, is that true?”

Nevaeh looked into the camera happily. “Kendrick ordered the dress for me. The rhinestones on it are all real.”

‘Why didn’t Mr. Waldburg come to the fitting with you?”

“You guys know that Kendrick is busy. He has to manage such a huge transnational corporation. I won’t occupy his time for something as minor as a wedding dress fitting. Men’s work centers around the world outside while women’s work centers around the home, so I don’t mind.”

When Nevaeh said this, the journalists and passersby all praised her for being understanding.

Nevaeh listened to those praises happily. Then, she turned around and entered the shop with her assistant.

“Miss Montgomery, when you walk out in the dress later, the journalists will definitely snap a lot of pictures of you. They’ll all report this without restraint,” said Nevaeh’s assistant, Amy.

Nevaeh raised her eyes arrogantly and considered herself unexcelled in the world. Her gentle and kind image had disappeared at this moment.

“Of course. Those people have never seen such an expensive wedding dress before. Even after working to death for an entire year, they won’t even be able to make enough money for one rhinestone on my dress!”

“Yes, of course.” Amy agreed.

She had worked with Nevaeh for some time already, so she knew Nevaeh’s temper and personality.

Nevaeh was not the dignified and easy-mannered Miss Montgomery in front of everyone. She was more like a common character behind everyone’s back. She was narrow-minded and loved to be pretentious.

If it was not for the hefty salary, Amy would have stopped working for her a long time ago.

At this moment, Nevaeh sauntered into the shop. When the staff saw her, there were awkward expressions on their faces.

“M-Miss Delgado, why are you here?”

Nevaeh’s face fell. “What are you talking about? Of course, I’m here for the fitting.”

“But…”

“No buts. Where’s the dress? I want to try it on now.” Nevaeh barked her order.

After she said that, the curtain in front of her was pulled open with a ‘woosh’.

Nevaeh and her assistant, Amy, looked over at the same time. A graceful figure of a woman appeared in their vision.

The dress on the woman was sparkling with brilliant lights and vibrant colors under the lights of the chandelier.

Nevaeh widened her eyes in shock. “Why is this dress on another person? Were you people dropped on the head when you were born? That’s my dress! How dare you let another woman try on my dress that cost seven digits? Do you not want to work here anymore?”

The staff looked at each other in dismay after they heard that. “Miss Delgado, this…”

“And you! How dare you wear my dress?! Take it off now, if not…”

“Your dress?” Suddenly, the woman in the dress said slowly.

When Nevaeh heard her voice, she was taken aback.

She widened her eyes in disbelief. When she saw the woman turning around slowly, her eyes were about to start bleeding when she saw the gorgeous face appearing in her vision.

“Vera Quinn!”

“Uh-huh,” Niamh smirked. She ran her fingers over the sparkling rhinestones on her dress. “Kendrick has such a good eye. He even knows all of my measurements.”

“W-What did you say?”

“What? Don’t you know the human language?” Nevaeh smiled and sashayed forward. The staff hurried over to help her with her dress.

She looked like a queen when she gracefully walked forward until she was in front of Nevaeh. “Do you really think that this dress belongs to you?”

“…” Nevaeh was so angry that her eyes almost fell out of their sockets. “Vera Quinn, take this dress off right now. This is a present from Kendrick to me. I’m going to wear this on the day of my wedding. Who are you to wear my wedding dress?”
