Chapter 230 – Until You Say Sorry Novel

Sean smiled and wiped away the tears on Eloise’s face.

“As long as our child is healthy and safe, I’ll be happy even if she only calls me Mr. Montgomery.”

Knock, knock, knock.

After Sean said that, there were knockings on the door. Then, the maid’s voice came from outside the door.

“Sir, Madam, Young Master Jackson has already fallen asleep. Miss Quinn said she’s leaving and asked me to inform you.”

“Ask Miss Quinn to wait for us. We’ll go down now.”

Eloise and Sean washed their faces quickly in the toilet. After they recomposed themselves, they rushed downstairs.

When they saw the figure in their living room, Sean and Eloise called out with smiles on their faces, “Miss Quinn.”

When Niamh heard voices, she turned around slowly. Eloise and Sean were looking at her with smiles on their faces.

Despite their smiles, they still could not hide the emotions and uneasiness in their eyes.

It had already come to this, so Niamh did not want to beat around the bush anymore.

“I’m guessing that you already know about it, right?” Niamh asked calmly.

Sean and Eloise were stumped for words. They looked at Niamh in shock after she asked that question.

After a few moments of silence, Eloise said cautiously, “Miss Vera—”

“Miss Vera,” Niamh repeated this name, interrupting Eloise with a smile. “Shouldn’t you be calling me Eveline Montgomery now?”

“…”

“…”

Eloise and Sean’s breaths hitched when they heard that.

They stared blankly at the cute smiling face in front of them. At that moment, tears started pouring out from their eyes.

“Eveline!”

Eloise was crying heavily as she ran over to Niamh emotionally. Her remorseful and apologetic eyes were filled with love and benevolence, enveloping Niamh warmly.

After a while, Eloise reached out a trembling finger and placed it on Niamh’s face gently.

She caressed Niamh’s flawless face gladly as she felt the warm touch on her fingertips. Eloise bit her lip and held her daughter while feeling distressed.

“My child! My baby daughter!” Eloise called out uncontrollably while holding Niamh tightly.

“Eveline, I’ve finally found you. I’m sorry. I’m so sorry!”

She was crying as she apologized, her voice sounding extremely shaky.

Sean’s eyes were red as he walked toward Niamh. He said with a sob, “Child, I’m sorry too. I’m so sorry.”

He apologized sincerely with a sorry gaze.

Sean lifted his hand, and after hesitating for a few seconds, he placed it on top of Niamh’s head before caressing her lovingly.

Niamh was motionless and unperturbed while she was showered by Eloise and Sean’s apology and love. There was no emotion on her face, and it was only her eyelashes that fluttered.

She did not fight them nor did she welcome their hugs. She merely allowed Eloise to hold her and Sean to caress her hair motionlessly. She allowed them to express the love and remorse they felt for Eveline Montgomery that had piled up after so many years.

After a while, Eloise finally released Niamh from her embrace reluctantly after Niamh’s phone started ringing.

She quickly wiped away her tears, her eyes focused on Niamh’s face.

Niamh looked at the caller ID and switched her phone into silent mode.

Eloise then ordered the maids, “Brew some black tea of the highest quality and fetch us some snacks.”

“Yes, Madam.” The maid quickly carried out her orders.

“Eveline, sit down. Let me take a good look at you.” Eloise approached her with tears in her eyes, reaching out her hand to hold Niamh’s. She wanted to pull Niamh to the sofa. However, before she could warm up her daughter’s hands, Niamh pulled away.

Eloise was stunned as she looked at Niamh with a disappointed gaze. “Eveline…”

“I’m leaving soon. Mr. and Mrs. Montgomery, you don’t have to entertain me so courteously.”

When Eloise and Sean heard how Niamh addressed them, they looked at her worriedly and were at a loss.

Eloise called out with a broken heart, “Eveline…”

Niamh smiled lightly, lifting her beautiful eyes to look around. She walked to the European-styled sofa and ran her fingers across the surface.

“That time, you guys invited me for dinner for Nevaeh’s sake and were willing to be courteous just to entertain an enemy like me. You guys must feel extremely uncomfortable now that the tables have turned, right?”

Eloise and Sean felt even more distressed when they heard that.

Niamh smiled calmly, saying, “Mrs. Montgomery, you asked me whether I found my parents after so many years.”

As she looked into Eloise’s apologetic gaze, she continued, “Mrs. Montgomery, do you remember what my answer was?”

“Eveline…”

“I said I found them, but we can’t reunite because even though I was standing right in front of them, they wouldn’t want to acknowledge me.”

Eloise’s eyes were bright red as she held Niamh’s hands with tears streaming down her face. “Eveline, please let me explain. Eveline…”

Niamh smiled. “You don’t have to explain. I’m not blaming you for anything. I just want to say that maybe we’re not fated to be family members.”

“No, Eveline. Don’t say that. It’s our fault. We shouldn’t have let that witch Nevaeh misguide us. We should have been able to tell who’s our real daughter…”

“Eveline, please give us a chance to make it up to you.”

Sean walked over, his handsome face filled with pain and sadness.

“Eveline, it has been so many years and we’ve never forgotten about you. Before Nevaeh’s existence, your mother would think about you every night and would wonder if you’re doing well. We preserved your room in this big house. Your mother would clean it meticulously every day so that one day you could come home.”

“Home?”

Niamh laughed.

“Is this my home? It looks so foreign. This isn’t my home.”

She laughed while looking at Eloise and Sean’s red tear-pooled eyes before turning her face coldly. Her eyes had become chilly.

“Perhaps when you first found out that Niamh was your daughter, you experienced a blow of remorse, but there was joy in finally knowing the truth, right? However, all it gave me was pain.”

Eloise and Sean felt as if a knife had sliced their hearts open after they heard that. The fiery pain was burning in their hearts.

Pain.

They had made their daughter feel pain.

They had a lot of apologies stuck in their throats, but perhaps everything they said now would be futile.

Niamh turned around and smiled sarcastically. “You might not know this, but I knew you were my birth parents the day I was accused of killing Brittany.”

“W-What?”

Eloise and Sean widened their eyes in disbelief as they felt excruciating pain in their hearts.

Looking at the pained and lost expression on the couple’s faces, Niamh laughed and let out a long sigh. “When you were hitting and yelling at me for Nevaeh’s sake, I had no choice but to accept the punishments given to me by the people closest to me.”
