Chapter 42 – Until You Say Sorry Novel

When the man heard that, he lowered his head to look at Niamh. He smiled lightly. “I thought you wouldn’t remember what happened that day after you passed out. I guess you remember me pretty well.”

His tone was mischievous, making Niamh less nervous.

Niamh felt that her extreme sorrow had turned into joy. Not only did this man save her twice, but he was also the chief director-general of this company where she was interviewing with.

He hired Niamh quickly and stated that he trusted her.

When she left his office, Niamh asked for his coffee-stained suit jacket and shirt. She wanted to wash them for him when she got home.

He did not reject her and let her take those away.

Niamh finally found a stable job. Plus, her colleagues were nice. Niamh told Ava immediately and told her she could treat her to a meal to celebrate.

If Niamh had not agreed to meet Ava, she would not have wanted to leave even when it was time to get off work. She loved her current job and was able to forget her unhappy past by working.

When Niamh was at the entrance, the silver car stopped next to her. The window was rolled down and that same handsome face appeared behind the window.

“Get in. I have something to ask you.”

Niamh hesitated. However, she recalled how he helped her before, so she did not have any reason to reject him. Eventually, she nodded.

However, when Niamh opened the door to get in, another familiar black car stopped in front of her all of a sudden. She would have gotten hit if the car had driven forward just a few more inches.

Niamh was so shocked that she was stunned. She saw Kendrick walking over to her with a poker face, then he looked at the man inside the car with a fake smile.

“You don’t have to be so courteous, Uncle. I’ll pick up my own wife from work. You don’t have to go through all of this trouble.”

What?

Niamh could not believe what she had just heard.

Kendrick calling her his wife was already a fantasy, but what astonished her the most was how Kendrick addressed her boss.

Uncle?

She did not know the name of the man who had helped her twice. She only knew that the staff would call him Mr. Waldburg.

However, Niamh did not think too much of it at that time. After all, there were so many people with the same last name in this world. Hence, she did not expect him to be Kendrick’s uncle.

Felipe Waldburg got out of the car slowly, looking at Niamh in puzzlement. “So, you’re Kendrick’s wife?”

Niamh opened her mouth after being stuck in a daze. “For now.”

Kendrick’s face fell when he heard Niamh’s answer.

“For now?” Felipe’s interest was piqued by her answer. He looked at Kendrick with a small smile on his face. “If that’s the case, then I won’t stop you from taking your wife home.”

Felipe got into his car again before looking at Niamh. “Remember to come to work tomorrow. I believe with your ability, you’ll be able to accomplish a lot in your industry.”

“Thank you, Mr. Waldburg. I’ll do my best.” Niamh thanked him sincerely. However, before she could finish talking, she was dragged away by Kendrick and pushed into the car.

After the car started, Kendrick said weirdly, “Niamh, you’re really something else. Are you going to go after every man in the Waldburg family? The way you behave as a woman really opens my eyes.”

She recalled how Nevaeh had threatened her arrogantly this morning. Then, after hearing what he said to her, Niamh felt the flames of anger rising in her chest.

“Kendrick, if you really see me as your wife, then please respect me as well as Grandpa and Uncle. If you don’t see me as your wife and you only did that just now just to preserve your dignity as a man, then you can stop the car now. I’ll gladly get lost from your sight!”

After she said that, Kendrick slammed the brakes. He really stopped the car.

He reached his hand over and pinched Niamh’s cheek with a sinister gaze.

“Uncle? How intimate. When did you two get together, hmm?”

His sarcastic tone and suspecting eyes made Niamh extremely uncomfortable. She stared at the furious man. “If you think I’m so dirty and cheap, you can divorce me. I’ll convince Grandpa to agree to it!”

Did Kendrick not want to divorce her so badly? She had already agreed to it!

However, after she said that, the vein on the man’s forehead protruded. There was a dark wave underneath his eyes.

“Who are you going to run to now that you’re so desperate to divorce me? Daniel or Felipe?” he asked angrily. He was pinching Niamh’s cheek even harder now. “Niamh, listen carefully. I’ll tell you this one last time!

“You don’t have the right to control our marriage! You will never have the chance to divorce me or seduce another man in this lifetime! Get lost!”

He pushed her away and as usual, he kicked her out of the car.

Niamh stood at the side of the road and watched as the car drove away.

She remembered how she was so determined to love this unreasonable man for the past ten years. Then, she did not know whether to laugh or cry.

Niamh met up with Ava. The two of them had pizza in a pizzeria. Niamh wanted to drink like Ava so that she could get drunk for a while. However, for the sake of her worthless life, she decided against it.

It was already dark, and Niamh helped the drunk Ava into the cab.

When she turned around, she was surprised to see Kendrick standing at the front door.

He leaned against his car lazily. One of his hands was in his pocket while the other was holding a cigarette. The end of the cigarette was lit up before it gradually dimmed in the night. He looked pretty lonesome.

Niamh’s heart skipped a beat. She did not know whether she was nervous. She wanted to stay away from Kendrick, but the man had already seen her.

His cold gaze landed on Niamh. “Get in.”

He was always commanding her, never giving Niamh the chance to choose.

Niamh calmly averted her gaze from him. “I’m sorry, Mr. Waldburg. We should talk tomorrow. It’s late now.”

Kendrick frowned. He stood in front of Niamh in frustration. “I asked you to get in.”

“Who’s that? Why is it so noisy?” Something was blocking her way, so Ava lifted her head while in a drunken state. She looked at Kendrick for a while and suddenly, she burst out laughing. “I was wondering who it is. It’s just you, you scumbag.”

After she said that, Niamh could feel Kendrick’s agitation.

She was worried that Kendrick would let his anger out on Ava, so she quickly smoothed things over. “Ava, you’re drunk. I’ll take you to bed.”

“I’m not drunk! And I didn’t get the wrong person too! He’s that scumbag, Kendrick Waldburg!” Ava pointed at Kendrick angrily. His face was icy now. “Why are you here? What were you doing when Niamh was suffering? You only know how to hold that mistress of yours!” Ava yelled at Kendrick. Her voice was exceptionally loud in the middle of the night.

Niamh was frantic. If Kendrick was infuriated, then Ava would also suffer in Glendale.

“Ava, stop talking. Let’s go.”

Niamh dragged Ava to the door. However, a drunk person was extremely heavy. Niamh could not move Ava despite using all of her might.

Niamh said to Kendrick quickly after she saw his face turning green from anger, “Kendrick, I’ll go with you. However, you can’t get mad at Ava. She’s drunk and she doesn’t know what she’s talking about.”

“I think she’s very sober.” Kendrick glared at Ava with a fake smile on his face.

“Kendrick, you won’t cause trouble for a woman who doesn’t know what she’s saying when she’s drunk if you’re a man.” Niamh was worried.

Kendrick chuckled and let out a ring of smoke. “It’ll be as easy as killing an ant if I want to kill her.”

Niamh knew Kendrick had this ability, but Ava was very drunk now. She looked at Kendrick without showing her weakness. She kept on spewing words to fight for justice on behalf of Niamh.

“C-come and kill me then! Burp.

“Kendrick Waldburg, you’re just a scumbag! Other than that, you’re a blind scumbag!”

“Ava, stop talking!” Niamh could feel beads of cold sweat on her forehead. Kendrick’s face was extremely dark. A storm was about to come at any time.
