After she was done speaking, she confirmed with him one last time. “I’ll see you at nine o’clock tomorrow morning in the lawyer’s office.”
Kendrick looked at Niamh’s back in a daze. There seemed to be no trace of being moved on his handsome face, but his heart was already flowing.
He had once thought he was unaffected by anything, but he did not expect that the person who would let him down was himself.
‘It turns out your love for me has really become a thing of the past. It turns out that the eternity that I thought we had already ended in our past and we can never go back again.’
The next day, Niamh arrived at the law firm at the agreed time.
Seeing that the time was approaching and Kendrick had not appeared yet, she subconsciously thought that Kendrick was going to regret it.
When she was about to call Kendrick, he appeared.
He still looked very noble and elegant. When he saw Niamh, he smiled slightly. “Did you wait long?”
Niamh shook her head. “The timing is just right. The lawyer is already here.”
“Yeah.” He nodded, Kendrick’s gaze sinking as Niamh turned to lead the way.
After entering the lawyer’s office and reading the divorce agreement in front of him, he saw that Niamh had already signed it decisively.
Kendrick held the pen, looked back at Niamh. “Nia.”
He suddenly called out her name softly. Niamh turned to look at him. “Do you have any more requests?”
“I wish you happiness.” He blessed her painfully.
Niamh looked at him with some surprise in her eyes, but then she saw Kendrick curl his lips into a smile.
“I’ve given you too much pain in this life and no longer have the ability to give you happiness. I wish you a new life and all the happiness you want after leaving me.”
As his voice fell, Kendrick raised his hand and signed his name in the lower right corner of the divorce agreement.
Somehow, Niamh suddenly fell into a trance.
Seeing Kendrick’s signature on the divorce agreement, not only did she not have any emotions of being relaxed or free. In fact, she felt a small prickling sensation.
Those fond memories from her youth, the throbbing secret love of childhood, and the failed marriage had all come to an end at this moment.
Walking out of the door of the law firm, Kendrick looked at Niamh with nostalgia. “Nia, can I hold you one last time?”
Niamh should have refused, but she nodded her head as if possessed.
Kendrick smiled slightly, then spread his arms to embrace her.
He closed his eyes and greedily enjoyed this last moment of warmth. When he opened his eyes again, his vision was already blurred.
Things could have been very happy.
However, he had personally destroyed this happiness.
He had hurt her deeply yet still tried to gain her forgiveness. He really was despicable. “Can I be with Jack for a few more days?”
Niamh nodded gently. “Yes.”
“Thank you.” He smiled bitterly.
Before he hugged her enough, Felipe’s car had stopped by the roadside.
He rolled down the car window and called out to Niamh, “Vera, can you go now?”
Niamh broke free from Kendrick’s arms without reluctance. She gave the silent man a faint glance before turning toward Felipe’s car.
Felipe’s deep, smiling gaze flicked across Kendrick’s face before driving away.
Niamh looked at the man who was getting further and further away in the rearview mirror. He was holding the divorce agreement in his hand. The longer he held it, the tighter his grip…
Kendrick watched Niamh leave before taking out his phone to make a call. His tone was cold but strong as he said, “I’m the man who signed for a divorce with Niamh just now…”
…
Niamh returned to the shop absently while Felipe followed her into the office.
After reading the divorce agreement between her and Kendrick, there was a pleasant smile in Felipe’s black eyes.
“Why didn’t you go to the Civil Affairs Bureau to get the divorce certificate?” he asked mildly.
Niamh returned to her senses, but her eyes looked a little confused. “Today’s the weekend and the Civil Affairs Bureau isn’t open.”
Felipe nodded lightly, vaguely observing that Niamh was a little out of it. “Vera, are you still not able to let go of something?”
“It’s not because of Kendrick. It’s because of Jack.”
“Little fool, Jack will be heading to Country F with you. I won’t let Kendrick have the chance to fight you for his custody.”
Niamh was lost for two seconds before she said, “He has given up custody of Jack.”
Felipe was quite surprised. “He gave up on his own will?”
“Yeah.” Niamh thought of what Kendrick said last night.
“Nia, if you can be happy with this, then I accept.”
His words were still so clear in her ears, and the look in his eyes…
Niamh quickly stopped herself from thinking further. “Felipe, before leaving Glendale, can you agree to a request?”
Felipe held Niamh’s hand with a gentle smile. “As long as I can do it, I won’t let you down.”
“Can you return Waldburg Manor to Grandpa?”
When the words fell, Niamh saw a glimmer of light in Felipe’s eyes.
She thought he was going to refuse, but then she heard him promise with a smile. “Okay, I promise you.”
Niamh breathed a sigh of relief. “Thank you.”
“There’s no need to thank me. It’s all because of you that I’m able to regain the things that originally belonged to my parents.”
When the words reached her ears, Niamh suddenly felt as if she had profoundly sinned.
Being able to come back to life, her purpose was to seek revenge.
She was delighted to see Kendrick in such misery, ending up with nothing left. However, she would not want to see the flames of her revenge affect Old Master Waldburg.
After Felipe left the scene, Niamh gave Kendrick a call.
Kendrick was surprised when he received her call, but he still appeared at the place where Niamh wanted to meet him.
