Chapter 228 – Until You Say Sorry Novel

“It’s fine.” Niamh smiled. “Actually, my first child isn’t dead.”

“W-What?” Ava was shocked.

Daniel was also surprised. “That child is not dead?”

“Yeah.” Niamh nodded and sighed. “However, I don’t know where that child is. Nevaeh hid her.”

“What? How can Nevaeh do something like that?” Ava was curious. When she was about to curse Nevaeh, her eyes landed on something behind Niamh. Then, she placed her fork down and stood up angrily. She started yelling behind Niamh, “How did you find us? What are you doing here?”

Daniel turned around and looked over as well. In the next second, he furrowed his brows together as his expression became grimmer.

Niamh did not know who was behind her, but from Ava and Daniel’s reactions, she could guess who it was.

At this moment, she heard a lot of people whispering among themselves. A few girls were even blushing when they saw Kendrick.

“That man is so handsome!”

“He looks like the president of Waldburg Corporation!”

“I saw him online before! He’s Kendrick Waldburg!”

Niamh placed her chopsticks down without batting an eyelid. She did not even turn around. “Ava, Dan, let’s just ignore those irrelevant people. Let’s change to another restaurant.”

Ava scowled at Kendrick who was walking over while clenching her fists. “Alright, I’ll listen to you, Niamh! Dan, let’s go!”

“Okay.” Daniel got up as well. Then, he peered at Kendrick in dissatisfaction with anger in his eyes.

Niamh grabbed her bag. When she turned around, she saw that Kendrick was already standing in front of her.

The man was still elegant and poised. His black leather jacket was stained with the coldness from the winter evening. However, his eyes did not have their usual coldness and were as warm as the spring breeze.

“I know you don’t want to see me now, but there’s one thing I have to tell you.” Kendrick’s voice was soft.

Niamh looked at Ava and Daniel before she smiled. “Ava, Dan, please wait for me.”

After she finished saying that, she did not look at Kendrick. She walked outside the shop and waited for him to follow her.

The wind of this winter night was so cold that it was penetrating their bones. Niamh stood under the streetlight, her delicate face looking exceptionally cold under the yellow light.

“Mr. Waldburg, you possess such remarkable abilities. You can always pinpoint exactly where I am every single time. Why? Are you here to catch your wh*re of a wife in the act with her illicit lover like how you used to? However, you should remember that I have no relations with you anymore. You have no right to question who I’m with or what I’m doing.”

She mocked with a sarcastic smile on her face.

Kendrick heard her loud and clear. He also remembered the time he saw Niamh eating tacos with hot sauce by the food truck with Daniel. When he saw them together back then, he had felt extremely uncomfortable.

However, thinking back to that, he was jealous.

He did not understand that he was only disorientated before because he cared about her too much.

Now, everything was too late.

Kendrick hated himself in silence, but he was still looking at Niamh with such gentle eyes.

“Vera,” he called out to her. “Compared to Niamh Delgado or Eveline Montgomery, I think you would prefer to be Vera Quinn.”

Kendrick struck the target after he said that.

“Because you have such horrible memories as Niamh Delgado and Eveline Montgomery.”

“Is that what you want to say to me?” Niamh interrupted him coldly. She was annoyed. “Kendrick, stop harassing me. I don’t want to see you again. If you have time, you should visit Nevaeh in prison. Don’t forget, she’s the love of your life.”

“I do have a woman I love in my heart for all these years, but she’s not Nevaeh.” Kendrick denied it. He walked over to Niamh and took out the colorful shell from his pocket.

When Niamh saw the shell, she was visibly shocked.

“I know you won’t believe me, but it’s true. The person I’ve loved this whole time is you.”

“Pfft.”

Niamh burst out laughing. Looking at the gorgeous face in front of her, her eyes started to turn cold from the wind.

“Me?” She scoffed in sarcasm. “If loving someone is forcing her to a dead end, then your love is so extraordinary,” she said while lowering her head to look at that faded shell. She could feel tears well up in her eyes.

“Kendrick, when I gave you this shell, I genuinely hoped that you would be happy, but now, I would even dream about you suffering in pain.”

After she said that, Kendrick felt a sharp pang of pain that was akin to a million ants gnawing on his heart.

Niamh reached out her hand to take the shell. Then, she threw it at the bustling street that was filled with moving cars without hesitating. She turned around and did not even look at Kendrick from the corner of her eyes. As expected, she walked toward Ava and Daniel.

Kendrick stood in the cold wind while looking longingly at Niamh’s back. His tall and slender body casted a lonely shadow under the streetlight.

He curled the corners of his lips as a trace of bitterness started to spread from his heart.

His eyes started to feel wet, causing the beautiful figure in front of him to become blurry.

How could he blame her for being heartless and cold now? He only had himself to blame.

…

After eating with Ava and Daniel, Niamh went back to her previous apartment alone.

She sat in front of the french window as Kendrick’s words lingered in her ear involuntarily.

‘The person I love is you.’

“Heh.”

Niamh chuckled coldly.

‘No one would be willing to hurt the person they love to this degree.

‘Kendrick, don’t tell me that you love me. Don’t tell me that you didn’t mean all those harsh words you said after my heart died from all the torture you gave me.’

Buzz, buzz.

Her phone on the nightstand started vibrating.

Niamh gathered her thoughts and picked up the phone after seeing that it was from Eloise.

‘From the looks of how they were looking for me so frantically just now, they might already know that I’m their daughter.’

She thought about it silently as she allowed her phone to keep vibrating. She did not pick up.

Niamh finally answered after the fifth call.

It was evident that the person on the other side did not expect her to answer. Eloise only said something after she stayed silent for about two seconds. “Miss Vera?”

Niamh was surprised that Eloise was calling her that.

Did they not know? Had Kendrick not told them?

“What’s wrong? Why did you call me so many times?” Niamh asked without batting an eye.

Eloise tried her best to control the emotions in her heart. She said while pretending nothing was wrong, “Miss Vera, Jack can’t sleep again. He wants to see you and have you sing a lullaby for him. Can you come over now?”

Niamh wanted to treat her coldly, but when she mentioned Jack, she could not help but want to get close to him.

“I’ll go over now. Tell Jack to wait for me.”

“Okay, of course! We’ll wait for you!” Eloise answered emotionally.

Niamh could detect something was amiss from Eloise’s shaky voice.
