Chapter 213 – Until You Say Sorry Novel

Old Master Waldburg’s tone was calm. He had undoubtedly determined that the person in front of him was Niamh. He was obviously confident.

Niamh was a little surprised, but she stayed composed. “Grandpa, you’ll live a long life. Also, I really am not Niamh.”

Old Master Waldburg smiled meaningfully, but his gray eyebrows were furrowed helplessly in a frown. “Niamh, are you asking me, this old man, to not die in peace?”

“…” Niamh was speechless for a moment.

“They told me that you died at Kendrick and Nevaeh’s engagement ceremony. This matter has always been in my mind, brooding.”

Old Master Waldburg sighed.

“You’re a good child that’s hard to come by. It was Kendrick who didn’t know how to cherish you. I won’t fault you at all now that you chose to come back this way, but I hope you can stay away from Felipe.”

Old Master Waldburg’s words of advice reminded Niamh of the past that Felipe had told her.

She looked at the old man in front of her seriously. Although his face was old and his temples were white, his time-beaten eyes still flowed with clarity and wisdom.

Niamh pursed her lips and smiled faintly. “I’m now Kendrick’s wife, so how can I have anything to do with Felipe anymore? Grandpa, I’m really not Niamh. Although I look a lot like her, I’m completely different from her in other aspects. I won’t walk the path she once walked.”

Seeing the confidence and determination in Niamh’s eyes, Old Master Waldburg turned around and walked to the bedside cabinet. He then took out a stack of papers from the drawer and handed it to Niamh.

“What’s this?” Niamh accepted it quizzically. She looked down and found that a word was written on the first sheet of white paper that had been crumpled—Nia.

She looked at the second and third sheets. All the sheets below were written with her name.

This familiar handwriting made Niamh’s heart beat faster.

“This was found by the servants who cleaned up Kendrick’s room here after your accident three years ago.”

Old Master Waldburg’s answer made Niamh laugh involuntarily. “Grandpa, are you trying to tell me that Kendrick has been concerned about his ex-wife Niamh for the past three years?”

Niamh felt ridiculous as she said it.

She had died, and the only person in the Waldburg family who felt sad for her was Old Master Waldburg. Had the others not been very happy?

Even if there were strangers in the world who would feel sad or a little sorry about her death, it definitely would not be Kendrick!

“Niamh, do you still remember what I asked you when you said you were going to divorce Kendrick back then?” Old Master Waldburg ignored Niamh’s repeated denials. He had already determined that she was Niamh.

Niamh looked at Old Master Waldburg unknowingly. “Grandpa, I’m not Niamh, so I won’t remember what you told her back then.”

“It doesn’t matter if you’ve forgotten. Grandpa will tell you again now.” Old Master Waldburg’s gaze was loving and patient. “At the time, I asked you whether Kendrick ever had sex with you after he was forced to marry you.”

“…”

“You know this answer very well, Niamh.” Old Master Waldburg smiled kindly. “I don’t know about other people, but I know my grandson very well. If he didn’t like you, he’d never have any physical intimacy with you.”

“…”

Niamh suddenly felt as if she had heard a big joke.

A ridiculous joke that said Kendrick liked Niamh!

She laughed mockingly and put down the stack of papers in her hands onto the coffee table. “Grandpa, stop joking around. If Kendrick had liked Niamh even a little bit back then, then she wouldn’t have died so miserably.”

‘Yes, if he had felt any trace of love for me, he wouldn’t have let me bleed in the wind and snow. He wouldn’t have disregarded me!’

“Grandpa, I’m Kendrick’s current wife. I hope you won’t bring up Kendrick liking Niamh anymore because not only does it make me feel ridiculous, it also makes me uncomfortable.”

She took a deep breath, working hard to maintain her smile until the end.

“Grandpa, please rest well. You must go to the hospital if you feel unwell. Don’t worry the people who care for you. I’ll leave first.”

Niamh turned around after speaking. When she looked down, her gaze swept across the stack of papers on the coffee table. The mocking smile in her eyes became deeper.

She opened the door and saw Kendrick standing outside with an indifferent expression. He had a hand raised as if he was about to knock on the door.

Niamh adjusted her emotions quickly and smiled. “Kendrick, Grandpa wants to rest. Let’s head back.”

Kendrick’s gaze focused closely on the fleeting mockery in Niamh’s eyes. He nodded lightly. “Okay.”

After they went back, Niamh took a cold shower to keep herself calm.

‘Grandpa really seems to have discovered my true identity and deliberately reminded me to stay away from Felipe.

‘Could it be that Grandpa has already investigated something in secret?

‘I have to speed things up.

‘If I drag on, Kendrick will see through me sooner or later.

‘After all, his IQ is not low.’

At midnight, Niamh slowly opened her eyes after Kendrick had fallen asleep.

Gently removing herself from Kendrick’s embrace, she went to his study using the moonlight.

After observing these few days, Niamh was certain that Kendrick’s study was not equipped with a security system.

She turned on the lights and looked through the documents on his study desk. Most of them were company documents, but they were all unimportant.

Niamh then turned on the computer and it showed the page of which a password was needed to enter after the screen lit up.

Password.

What password did he set?

Niamh tried to enter Kendrick and Nevaeh’s birthdates, but they both failed.

When she was about to leave it aside, a small figure appeared at the entrance of the study. “Mom.”

“Jack?” Niamh was surprised to see the sleepy little guy.

“Mom, do you still need to work this late at night?” the little guy asked softly as he slowly walked in.

Niamh could only nod. It felt exceptionally good to hear Jackson call her ‘Mom’. “Yes, I suddenly recalled that something hasn’t been done.”

“I’ll accompany you.” Jackson smiled slightly, his snaggleteeth showing.

Niamh wanted to reject him, but the little guy had already walked to her side.

“Jack, Mom’s very forgetful. I’ve forgotten the start-up password all of a sudden, so let’s just go to bed first.”

“You’ve forgotten the password? Don’t worry, Jack knows.”

What?

Niamh looked at Jackson who said these words in surprise.

“Mom, wait for me.” Jackson turned around and walked out after he said this. When he came back again, he was holding a phone in his hand.

Niamh initially thought that Jackson had jotted down Kendrick’s password in his phone, but she saw him opening a software that she did not know of. Then, he connected the phone to the computer. After that, it processed for a while, and it did not take long for the eight numbers to continuously pop up on the phone screen.

Seeing the numbers that had appeared, Niamh was dumbfounded.

‘This is… the start-up password that Kendrick set?

‘How could it be?!’

She looked at the familiar, eight-digit number in disbelief and immediately saw Jackson inputting the numbers into the computer. After pressing the enter key, the computer unlocked in the next second.

At the same time, a notification sounded from Kendrick’s phone.

He opened his deep, black orbs and saw his empty arms. Then, he glanced at his phone before getting up and walking to the study…

Kendrick made a beeline to the study and saw light streaming out of the room from afar.

His gaze sunk a little as his footsteps unconsciously slowed down.

Just when he reached the door of the study and was about to enter, Niamh walked out while holding Jackson.

Niamh was surprised when she saw Kendrick. “Kendrick, why are you also awake?” She smiled a little. “I’ll send Jack back to his room to sleep first.”

Kendrick did not ask anything and just nodded.
