Minding her own business, she put breakfast on the dining table and turned around to go upstairs to see Jackson. However, Kendrick held her and hugged her from behind.
Niamh struggled, but Kendrick hugged her even tighter.
“Nia, you won’t believe that I love you and you still think it’s Nevaeh who I’ve always loved.
“Everyone thinks that Nevaeh is my favorite. It’s so ridiculous that I even pretended not to see it when she killed. I’ve indulged her those years as if I loved her, but it was not that.”
Kendrick spoke, his voice becoming softer and softer. He hugged Niamh tightly, his eyelashes drooping. “The reason why I indulged her was that I loved you.”
After listening to Kendrick’s words calmly, Niamh moved his arms away coldly and turned to face him.
“If you’re going to make an excuse, at least find a reasonable one.” She looked at him contemptuously. “You said you love me? Your love for me allowed you to let Nevaeh trample on and hurt me?”
Kendrick frowned and tried to pull Niamh’s hand. “Nia, listen to me first.”
Ding dong, ding dong!
Just then, the doorbell rang.
Kendrick’s swordlike eyebrows were even more tightly locked as he turned to open the door, feeling somewhat dissatisfied.
However, the moment the door opened, Kendrick’s face instantly fell cold. “What are you doing here?”
Felipe stood at the door. He glanced at Kendrick who had bandages on his hand, raised his eyes, and looked into the room. “Vera, it’s me. Are you there?”
Kendrick’s eyes became even colder as he kept Felipe outside. “Felipe, there’s no such person as Vera here. Leave immediately.”
However, as soon as his voice fell, Niamh had already walked up from behind him.
“Felipe? Why did you come here?” Niamh was quite surprised.
“I’m worried about you.” Felipe’s tone was soft, and the gentleman’s handsome face carried a small smile. “Why didn’t you return to the apartment last night?”
“This is my wife’s home. Why would she go back to that apartment?” Kendrick said coldly, displeased.
Niamh glanced at Kendrick and calmly parted her lips. “Jack wanted me to stay last night. I didn’t want him to be unhappy.”
Felipe nodded, expressing his understanding. “I’ve already booked the ticket.” His black eyes flicked across Kendrick’s face as if he was nothing. He finally smiled at Niamh, saying, “Once your divorce procedures are completed, we’ll take Jack back to Country F.”
Niamh could not help feeling a little lost after hearing this.
Kendrick suddenly grabbed her wrist and protected her behind him.
A cold current surged invisibly, and Niamh heard Kendrick solemnly say to Felipe, “Felipe, this is the last time I’ll warn you. You can take away everything from Waldburg Corporation to Waldburg Manor, but Nia, I will never let her go with you.”
He had a gentle tone that was even a little lazy, but it was domineering. Every word was powerful and resonating.
Without giving Felipe the chance to refute, Kendrick pulled Niamh back into the house. After closing the door heavily, he gripped Niamh’s shoulders tightly and made a solemn request.
“Don’t follow him.”
Niamh pushed him away, feeling dissatisfied. “Why are you closing the door so loudly? What if you scare Jack?”
Kendrick was a little surprised. Seeing Niamh turning around angrily, he chased after her and hugged her tightly.
“Nia.”
“Let go, Kendrick.”
“No, I won’t let go. I will never let you go again,” he whispered behind her ear with endless remorse and love that was hard to believe and accept.
Niamh took a deep breath and closed her eyes.
She clenched her fists and pushed the man who was holding her tightly with all her strength.
“Kendrick, when will you be satisfied with torturing me?”
He did not expect Niamh to have such a big reaction. Kendrick was startled by Niamh whose eyes were gradually getting red.
Niamh’s velvet brows tightened, moisture dotting her eyes. The wetness in those eyes also dampened Kendrick’s heart.
“Kendrick, please don’t torture me anymore. Can’t you just let me go? I really feel so tired.”
“Torture?” Kendrick’s thin lips moved lightly as he looked at Niamh in a daze. “So, I’m still torturing you and making you unhappy, is that right?”
“Yes!” Niamh gave her answer without hesitation, holding back her emotions that were almost out of control. Her pink lips parted slightly as she said, “Yes, I used to love you so very much. Even when you tortured me and when I was in pain, I still loved you. But it turns out that I’m not so strong. My heart has been utterly, completely broken by you. I don’t love you anymore, Kendrick. I really don’t love you anymore.”
She whispered and laughed.
The heart-wrenching scenes in the memory came to her heart, reminding her of when his coldness had drowned her last breath and heartbeat, as well as denied all her feelings and devotion.
In her most helpless moment, he had watched indifferently.
It was at that moment that she awoke.
Her self-conceited infatuation was but an illusory dream.
True love should not be so dark and cold.
The air was quiet for a long time, then Niamh spoke again, “Kendrick, if you really want to apologize to me, then sign our divorce papers as soon as possible.”
Hearing the word divorce again, Kendrick felt as if he had fallen into the abyss once more.
He saw the determination in Niamh’s eyes. She would never look at him with that kind of loving and admiring look anymore.
She would never call him ‘Kendrick’ softly again.
This loss was caused by him.
Seeing Kendrick silent, Niamh made her final decision. “I’ll wait for you to sign our divorce at the law firm tomorrow. If you still have any conscience at all, give me custody of Jackson. If you refuse, I will fight till the end.”
Hearing these words, the corners of Kendrick’s lips twitched as he sobbed quietly.
He suppressed the painful emotions, raised his eyes, and smiled. “Will you really be happy if you’re divorced from me?”
“Yes.”
Receiving her answer without hesitation, Kendrick felt a fierce stab in his heart.
After a few seconds of silence, he nodded. “Very well. I’ll fulfill your wish and won’t fight you for Jack’s custody.”
She had thought that Kendrick would continue to embarrass her. She did not think he would promise her so decisively.
Niamh looked at Kendrick questioningly but saw him smiling at her. “Nia, if you could really be happy with this, then I accept.”
Seeing his sincere eyes, Niamh breathed a sigh of relief.
Niamh smiled faintly when she saw him looking at her desperately. “I used to love you arbitrarily, but I found out later that a love too strong would only end up hurting myself. Kendrick, I loved you. Although I hate you more now, I still want to thank you for giving me an unforgettable memory and Jack.”
