Chapter 240 – Until You Say Sorry Novel

He grabbed Niamh’s hand in front of everyone. His gaze was overbearing and possessive as he looked at Kendrick.

“Kendrick, don’t force your hypocritical apology and love on Vera. She’s not your ex-wife Niamh Delgado who you used to abandon and tarnish. She’s my fiancée, Vera Quinn.”

Felipe sounded like he was warning Kendrick.

On the other hand, this was the first time Niamh saw such obvious rage and aggression on Felipe’s face.

“On behalf of our relationship, I can let you off the hook this time. Please have some self-respect.”

After Felipe said that, he held Niamh’s hand and walked away.

Niamh did not look at Kendrick before she left with Felipe. However, the moment she started walking, she felt another familiar hand holding her.

She stopped walking immediately, causing Felipe to stop as well. Felipe frowned in agitation when he saw Kendrick holding Niamh’s hand.

“Let go of Vera.”

Kendrick ignored Felipe and walked in front of Niamh.

Looking at her icy gaze, Kendrick leaned down and got closer to her ear before he started talking.

He said something in Niamh’s ear, but no one else heard it. However, they saw Niamh’s eyes lighting up instantly.

Then, the onlookers and Felipe heard Kendrick saying four words. “I’ll wait for you.”

It was apparent that he was saying those words to Niamh.

Then, Kendrick turned around. Unexpectedly, Niamh also let go of her hand that was holding Felipe’s.

Felipe’s expression changed. “Vera?”

Niamh’s eyes were filled with apology and anxiety. “I’m sorry, Felipe. I need to leave. Something urgent came up. I’ll talk to you soon.”

Felipe did not have the chance to stop her before Niamh walked away hurriedly.

Judging from the direction she left in, it was obvious that she was chasing after Kendrick.

All of the onlookers were clear about this.

This also made them more suspicious about whether Vera Quinn was the wife who Kendrick had abandoned back then, Niamh Delgado.

After Kendrick got into the car, he saw Niamh chasing after him from the rearview mirror.

He was a little happy, but at the same time, he felt pathetic.

At this time, he could only use this method to get her to spend some time with him.

At the end of the day, he was the one who did this to himself.

While he was stuck in a daze, Niamh had already climbed into the passenger seat after opening the door.

“Kendrick, stop beating around the bush with me. Take me to my child now.” Niamh ordered straight away.

Kendrick looked at Niamh’s stunning side profile with a smile on his face. “I promised that I’ll bring the child to you today, so I’ll definitely do it.”

Niamh chuckled after she heard that. “More than ten years ago, someone promised to protect me and take care of me forever, but what happened in the end?”

She mocked with a cold look on her face as she said, “Kendrick, stop wasting time. Unless you let me see my child, I won’t believe anything you say.”

“Alright, I’ll take you to see our child now.”

Kendrick started the car instantly.

After Niamh heard his words, an expectant smile appeared on her cold face.

Through the mirror, Kendrick could see that Niamh was holding her hands tightly. There were endless emotions in her eyes along with a hint of nervousness.

Kendrick curled the corners of his lips when he saw the look of genuine happiness on Niamh’s face.

He was finally seeing a smile on his face.

However, after driving on the busy roads, the car ended up in a place where Niamh was familiar with.

She was puzzled as she reminisced about the scenery outside the window.

‘Has my child been living in April Hill this entire time?

‘Then who’s taking care of my child?’

The car came to a stop slowly as she was thinking about these questions.

Niamh did not wait for Kendrick to open the door for her and got out hurriedly.

Everything in front was not foreign to her. They were at the beach of April Hill.

It was the depths of winter and the sea breeze was bone-chillingly cold.

No one would come to the beach during this season. Even the villagers nearby would rarely come to the beach.

Niamh looked at the vast emptiness in front of her before running toward Kendrick.

“Kendrick, where is my child?” she asked hurriedly, “Why did you take me here? I want to see my child!”

“I’ll definitely let you see our child before the day ends.”

“Before the day ends?” Niamh finally caught the loophole in his sentence. “Kendrick, what do you want? Are you trying to fool me?”

Kendrick curled the corners of his lips helplessly. “I don’t have any other choice.”

“What do you mean?” Niamh did not have the patience to beat around the bush with him.

“I know you won’t forgive me and you won’t love me like you used to, so I can only use this way to spend some time with you.”

Niamh burst out laughing after she heard him saying that. “Kendrick, do you know how pathetic you sound?”

“I know,” the man muttered. Niamh’s smirking face was reflected in his eyes. However, his expression was filled with tenderness. “Just think of me as despicable or shameless, but I just want to spend this day with you.”

Niamh stared straight into Kendrick’s fawning eyes. Then, she pressed her lips together and decided to compromise. “Kendrick, if I don’t see my child by the end of this day, I will never let you off the hook so easily.”

Kendrick smiled as he looked at Niamh’s angry face.

‘Nia, you have no idea how much I want you to keep pestering me.’

He thought about that in silence. When he came back to his senses, he saw Niamh leaving on her own.

The breeze kept blowing over. It was so salty and tasted like their memories from so many years ago.

However, after these memories went away like the tide, the only things left were the pain that was too unbearable to look back on.

Kendrick followed after Niamh. She was so close to him, yet she seemed so untouchable.

He wanted to find a topic to talk to Niamh about. Coincidentally, an old woman appeared in the field in front of them. The old woman had just dug out an entire basket full of sweet potatoes, but since she had too many, a few of them rolled out from her basket.

Niamh quickly ran up to help her. Kendrick ran up as well.

The old woman thanked them repeatedly. Then, she raised her head to look at Niamh and Kendrick. When she saw them, she smiled and said, “It’s you two! You two came here even though it’s so cold. Are you here to look back on your childhood memories again?”

Niamh and Kendrick were taken aback when they heard that. At this moment, they finally realized that this old woman was the retired doctor from back then.

Kendrick went with her and smiled. “Yeah. My wife and I wanted to relive the memories.”

Niamh spared a displeased gaze at Kendrick which the man paid no attention to as he helped the old woman pick up her potatoes and carry her basket.
