Chapter 66 – Until You Say Sorry Novel

Niamh’s heart was cold. When had the man who she loved for so many years ever shown her so much concern? No, he had never.

However, now he was so concerned with that vile woman. Niamh really did not understand what was so attractive about Nevaeh that could make Kendrick so attracted to her.

“Nevaeh, don’t do anything stupid! I won’t be able to bear it if you die!” Eloise shouted as she cried, trying to stop Nevaeh.

“Mom, I’m sorry!” Nevaeh sobbed her heart out, looking at Kendrick with a look of sorrow.

“Kendrick, do you still remember what you promised me? You said you’d always protect me, treasure me, and that you’d marry me. However, that day will never come…”

Nevaeh’s words caused Niamh to snap. She remembered the promises that Kendrick had made her all those years ago. Those promises suddenly turned into a gigantic joke now.

He made those same promises to other girls as well.

She had always believed that she was the only one who received those promises, but at the end of the day, she was only one of the many fishes in his pond.

What a joke!

Amidst Niamh’s confusion, she heard Nevaeh’s so-called last words, “Mom, I’m sorry. Kendrick, I’m sorry, I love you. Let’s get married in our next life! Niamh, I’ll give Kendrick to you. I won’t fight with you anymore. From now on, you won’t need to slander me, provoke me, or give me calls like that. I’ll just give you what you want!”

“Nevaeh, no!” Eloise rushed in to snatch the knife away. “Kendrick, do you really want Nevaeh to die in front of you? Even now, are you still going to cling to your grandfather’s words and not divorce Niamh?!”

Niamh’s heart ached at Eloise’s words. She always thought that Kendrick would keep his promise, but he was looking at Nevaeh in hesitation.

After a few seconds of silence, Nevaeh shouted while crying, “Mom, let me go!”

After the shout, Niamh saw that Nevaeh had slashed her wrist and blood was spurting out.

Looking at that situation, Kendrick lost any hesitation he had as he walked in front of Nevaeh. “Nevaeh, don’t hurt yourself anymore. I promise you, I’ll divorce Niamh right away! I’ll make you my wife!”

Niamh looked at Kendrick’s determined promise to Nevaeh. It was just a few simple words, but they caused Niamh boundless pain.

It would seem like they were only suited to leave each.

Niamh slowly teared up. She saw Nevaeh looking at Kendrick with a face full of tears. “Kendrick, are you telling the truth? Will you really marry me?”

Kendrick looked at her tenderly. “Of course, it’s true. I’ll definitely fulfil my promise.”

“Kendrick, we finally won’t have to hide our love…” Nevaeh hugged Kendrick tightly, crying into his chest.

She turned her face around, showing Niamh a sly and evil look.

Beside them, Eloise was elated. She then shot a hateful glance at Niamh.

Her suffering and pain threatened to spill out as Niamh clenched her fists. She turned to leave.

Kendrick noticed that Niamh was leaving and looked over. He gently pushed Nevaeh aside, looking like he was going to leave.

Nevaeh pulled onto his shirt. “Kendrick, are you reluctant to leave Niamh?”

“Nonsense. How could I not want to leave that woman?” Kendrick smiled softly. “I’m just going to talk to her about the divorce. You should get your wound treated.”

As he said that, he walked away without turning around.

Even though Kendrick said that, Nevaeh still had doubts in her mind. However, Eloise was there as well, so she had to continue acting like an obedient child.

Niamh stormed out of the hospital, but her steps were not steady. She was holding back a mouthful of blood.

She hurriedly took out a napkin to cover her mouth. The dark shade of blood was very obvious under the street lights. She had been vomiting blood increasingly frequently. It seemed like she was at the end of her life.

Niamh tearfully looked at the rows of street lights, her heart in immense pain. She was drowned in her thoughts, drowning in the promise of her first love that she could not forget to this day.

She had thought that no matter what, their reunion all those years ago and the fun they had, at least those were real.

However, he had actually played that game with other women as well.

Niamh looked at the sky, blinking as she felt completely lost. All these years, what had she wished for? What was she anticipating? A dream-like, perfect wedding?

What a joke.

She pushed back her tears, ready to leave when she suddenly heard the voice of her nightmares.

“Niamh,” Kendrick called out to her.

Niamh stood there for a second, crumpling up the napkin in her hand in a panic before rushing ahead.

Looking at her unusual actions, Kendrick hurriedly grabbed onto Niamh’s wrist.

“What are you hiding in your hand?” He had noticed her actions earlier.

Niamh pulled her hand away. “It’s got nothing to do with you.”

“Nothing?” Kendrick said softly, his voice cold, “So I take it the divorce is exactly what you want? You’ve always been waiting for the day you could get away from our relationship, right?”

Niamh laughed as she clenched her fist. “Mr. Waldburg, isn’t divorcing me the best thing that can happen for you and your precious loved one?”

Hearing that, a strange and subtle look flashed across his face. “So you don’t want to divorce me? You still love me?”

He stared at Niamh, waiting for her answer.

After a few seconds, Niamh said, “Kendrick, I don’t love you anymore, but I won’t agree to divorce you.”

As she said that, Kendrick’s exquisite face seemed to freeze. His eyes glared piercingly at her. “Niamh, what did you say? What’s the meaning of this?”

Thinking that she would be dead soon and remembering her laughable wish that she had held onto for over ten years, Niamh’s eyes reddened as she smiled at Kendrick.

“What I mean is, I won’t let that fake b*tch Nevaeh get what she wants. Even if I die, I’ll bring the title of Mrs. Waldburg with me!” Niamh’s red eyes widened, her tears falling against her wishes.

“Kendrick, even if you’re disgusted with me and hate me, it’ll never change the fact that I am your wife!” Saying that, Niamh felt excruciating pain in her heart.

A lifetime’s worth of her love and passion had been poured onto him. It started with love, and it was now going to end because of love.

Now, their love had soured, and everything was going up in smoke.

However, why did her heart still hurt so much?

Was death the only escape she could have from her pain?

Kendrick was enraged as he reached out to choke Niamh. “Niamh, you dare toy with me?!”

Niamh forced out a smile, her tears still flowing as she said, “Mr. Waldburg, haven’t you toyed with me for so many years?”

“Niamh Delgado!” His rage intensified, and the force in his hands increased.

Even if he was so violent, he remained as handsome as usual.

Niamh did not beg for mercy nor did she struggle. She just tearfully looked at the man who wanted to kill her. Had he not said it before? He wanted to kill her with his own hands.

It seemed like that day was here.

Niamh started to lose her breath, and just as she was about to suffocate, Kendrick let go.

“Leave!” he shouted in rage, tossing her aside.

Niamh fell onto a flowerbed powerlessly, her stomach feeling as if it was being torn apart. She forced herself to stand up, looking at the furious man.

“Kendrick, don’t regret it in the future if you don’t kill me today.”

The man let out a smile. “Niamh, you dare threaten me? Do you really believe that I’m staying in this farce of a marriage just to keep my promise to my grandfather?”

What?

Niamh’s heart pounded as she looked at Kendrick in astonishment.

Was he not staying in this marriage because of his grandfather?

If that was not the case, then what was he after?

Kendrick seemed to revel in Niamh’s unsettled face. He grabbed her chin and said softly, “Niamh, let me tell you. Since the beginning, this marriage has always been in my hands. Do you really think you could become my wife just by sleeping with me for one night? You’re way too naive!”

His words were full of mocking as he released her, coldly turning away after.

Niamh stood frozen in place, her entire body shivering in the cold as a gigantic question mark loomed over her in the darkness of the night.

She returned to her home, still full of questions. However, she noticed Felipe waiting at her door.

“I haven’t been able to contact you and was a little concerned,” Felipe said warmly, a large smile on his bright and handsome face.

Niamh hesitated in front of the door, wondering if she should invite Felipe inside.

Felipe saw through Niamh’s hesitation and softly said, “If I knew you’d end up like this with Kendrick, I would’ve stopped this farce of a marriage three years ago.”

Niamh widened her eyes in shock. “Why did you say that?”

Felipe looked at her, dispirited. Then, he parted his lips slightly before stopping himself from saying what he wanted to say.
