Chapter 227 – Until You Say Sorry Novel

Smash!

The teacup in Eloise’s hand slipped and smashed on the floor.

Her limp hands were frozen in midair and could not move.

“W-What did you say… Vera is Niamh…” Eloise muttered as tears quickly filled her eyes and blurred her vision. The only thing she could see right now was Niamh’s stunning face.

Eloise did not suspect anything. It was natural that she would wish her daughter was still alive and well in this world. Plus, during this period of time, she had started to grow fond of Vera.

She knew she should be happy, but for some reason, her heart was in such debilitating pain.

Sean came out when he heard the noise. When he saw Eloise standing there looking dull and sluggish as she sobbed, he walked over feeling worried and curious.

“Ellie, what’s wrong? Why are you crying?” Sean was concerned. He looked at Kendrick in confusion. “Mr. Waldburg, when did you get here? Why is Ellie so sad? Are you going to take Jack home?”

Kendrick caressed Jackson’s hair. “I’m not taking him back. Mrs. Montgomery isn’t sad, she’s happy.”

“Happy?” Sean was even more confused now.

When he was about to ask more questions, Eloise turned around and grabbed his hand. “Sean, our daughter is still alive!”

“What? Ellie, what did you say?” Sean’s eyes were filled with an expectant glow.

Eloise had tears streaming down her face. “Vera is actually Niamh! She’s our precious daughter, Eveline! She’s Eveline!”

Sean was stumped for words as his heartbeat sped up. “Vera is Niamh…”

Eloise bawled and leaned against Sean’s shoulder. She was feeling joy and sadness at the same time. “Sean, this is great. Our daughter is still alive. She’s still alive. Thank God!”

Sean’s eyes were also wet with tears. He suppressed his emotions and patted Eloise’s shoulder to comfort her. However, he could not wait to see Niamh right now.

“Where is Eveline? Where is she? I want to see her now.”

“Mr. Waldburg, you must know where my daughter is, right? Please tell us!” Eloise was impatient as well.

Kendrick frowned, and there was an unspeakable bitterness in his heart. “You can try Waldburg Corporation. She might be in the president’s office.”

After Eloise and Sean got the answer, they did not think too much about it. They immediately headed to Waldburg Corporation without even changing their clothes.

“Where are Grandpa and Granny going? Why are they in such a hurry?” Jackson blinked and asked.

“Grandpa and Granny went to find your mommy.” Kendrick squatted and caressed Jackson’s adorable face, his eyes filled with gentleness.

“Jack, Daddy is at fault. I’ve wronged you and your mommy.”

Jackson listened to Kendrick’s apology in confusion. Then, he was pulled into Kendrick’s tight embrace.

“Jack, I promise that from now on, I’ll love and cherish you and your mommy.”

…

Dusk arrived early in the winter.

After Niamh finished up her work, she called Ava and left with her bag.

When she got out of the office, the receptionist ran over to her. “Madam, just now…”

“You can call me Miss Quinn.”

“I’m sorry, Miss Quinn.” The receptionist corrected herself quickly. “I’m sorry, Miss Quinn, the lobby called saying that Mr. and Mrs. Montgomery need to see you urgently. They’re coming up now.”

Niamh nodded as if she was in deep thought. “I got it. Thanks.”

After she said that, she walked into the VIP elevator and left.

At this moment, the elevator next to it arrived. When the door opened, the door to the VIP elevator closed just in time.

Niamh could see Eloise and Sean’s frantic figures from the crack of the elevator door. She looked at them calmly until the door was fully closed.

Eloise and Sean ran to the receptionist to ask if Niamh was in the office the moment they got out of the elevator.

The receptionist pointed at the VIP elevator. “Miss Quinn just left.”

“She left? Where did she go? Do you know?” Eloise asked frantically.

The receptionist guessed and said, “I think she might be going home at this time.”

“Home…” Eloise rolled the word in her mouth as she was stuck in a daze.

Home…

Montgomery Manor should be her house. However, Eloise and Sean did not dare to hope if she wanted to go back with them.

Perhaps, she would be unwilling to do so.

Eloise remembered what Niamh said when she came to Montgomery Manor for Jackson two days ago.

She said that would be the last time she went over.

Back then, Eloise did not understand, but now, she understood what she meant.

When she thought about it, Eloise started bawling. She felt extremely remorseful.

Sean held her. “Ellie, don’t cry. Don’t worry. We’ll surely be able to see Eveline again.”

“She won’t want to see us. She must’ve hated us…” Eloise’s eyes were red from crying as she recalled the day at the hospital. She recalled how she had blamed herself so much till she wanted to end her life when she found out Niamh was her flesh and blood.

At that moment, Niamh had called her ‘Mom’.

She thought Niamh only called her that to save her.

However, it turned out to be a genuine act.

Eloise reminisced about the way Niamh had called out to her. Her heart started to feel more and more painful.

If Niamh did not want to acknowledge her as her mother, then that word would become the most melodic and heartbreaking sound in the world.

Niamh drove to where she promised to meet Ava.

It was a Mexican restaurant that was filled with the smell of different spices. It was already filled with people at this hour.

A few customers were surprised when they saw Niamh. She looked like a fairy who only feasted on dewdrops, but she was here for Mexican food.

At this moment, Ava waved at her. “Niamh, over here!”

Niamh looked over to the source of the voice. When she saw Ava, she saw Daniel’s gentle face as well.

She smiled and walked over to sit down. When she saw the tacos in front of her, her heart grew warm.

Of course, she did not forget about eating tacos with hot sauce from a food truck with Daniel. Back then, Daniel had already realized that she did not have long to live because his eyes were filled with dread.

Actually, she thought her life would end as well, but in the end, everything changed.

“Niamh, has your body fully recovered?” Daniel asked in concern.

Niamh gave him a small smile. “Don’t worry. I’m fine now.”

“Niamh, you did the right thing! Two days ago, I saw a lot of negative news about Waldburg Corporation. It’s right of you to destroy it. Kendrick did all those things to you back then and now, he has only lost his reputation and power. But you and your child…”

Ava stopped herself when she talked about this.

“I’m sorry, Niamh. It’s all my fault. I shouldn’t have touched the tender spot.”
