Chapter 83 – Until You Say Sorry Novel

Nevaeh was quite shocked by Kendrick’s gaze, but on the surface, she maintained her innocent facade. “Kendrick, I’ll tell you everything you want to know.”

“Did you know before I did that Niamh was pregnant?”

She did not expect that Kendrick would ask that question. A look of shock flashed across Nevaeh’s face, but she quickly shook her head.

“Niamh never talked to me about her pregnancy.”

“Is that true?” Kendrick asked meaningfully. After that, he stepped on the gas pedal again. His gaze caused Nevaeh to feel uneasy.

She clenched her fists in silence, cursing at Vera in her head. That woman was a thorn in her side. If that woman had not suddenly appeared, Nevaeh was certain that Kendrick would not suddenly suspect her or think about Niamh!

After Kendrick dropped Nevaeh off at the Montgomery household, he went to the cemetery alone.

As the evening sunlight fell on his back, the summer winds blew past the branches and brushed against his face.

Kendrick slowly walked to the front of a tombstone, bending down as he placed a bouquet of 88 roses in front of it.

Roses represented love, and 88 roses represented remorse.

Alas, remorse was the most useless thing on earth.

What was the point of his belated love?

Looking at the name on the plaque, Kendrick lit a cigarette. As the sun started to set, night soon fell, obscuring his expression.

The next day, Niamh went back to the shop and noticed someone in the VIP room after sending her little girl to school.

Ever since she came back to life and had her eyesight restored, she spent an entire year establishing her own brand—Miss L.ady.

She personally designed every piece of jewelry. Since the designs were unique, they were very well received. Her business boomed because of that, quickly becoming a household name internationally. She received quite a few famous VIP customers thanks to that.

That was why the person who was browsing the limited edition jewelry in the VIP room could be considered as a high-class member.

Niamh was about to greet the person inside and express her gratitude, but she suddenly heard a familiar voice.

Her feet suddenly felt like lead as her footsteps became abnormally heavy.

“I definitely want this set. Do you have anything else? How could one set be enough for my daughter’s birthday?” Eloise’s voice was filled with endless love for Nevaeh.

Niamh thought that with her giving up on Kendrick, her yearning for parental love would be gone as well. She did not expect that her heart would suddenly hurt so much.

Her mother…

No, she was Nevaeh’s mother.

Niamh laughed at herself mockingly, her mind filled with the scenes of Eloise and Sean slapping her in the face for the sake of protecting Nevaeh.

She even remembered that last kick from Sean which caused her to spit out blood.

They never looked at her until the end.

Niamh’s grip on the door was extremely tight, and at that moment, Eloise took out her phone to give Nevaeh a call.

“Nevaeh, you can come out now. I’ll bring you for a spa session later, then we can look for something to wear. It’s your birthday tomorrow, and Kendrick will propose to you as well. I want to make sure you’ll look the prettiest you can be. I’ll turn you into the most dazzling princess in the world. Dear, you’ll always be my precious daughter.”

Princess? Precious daughter?

Ah.

Niamh wanted to laugh hearing all that. She no longer wanted to continue listening.

She turned around, but she did not see that one of her employees was carrying coffee and snacks over.

With a clank, the cups and tray all fell to the floor.

“I’m so sorry, Miss Vera, so sorry!” The employee frantically apologized.

Niamh knew she was the one at fault for being distracted, so she consoled him and said, “No need to apologize. It’s not your fault.”

The moment she finished saying that, she saw that Eloise had walked out.

“What happened?” Eloise asked curiously, lifting her gaze to look at Niamh who was standing by the door. “You are—”

“This is our store manager, Miss Quinn.” The staff member explained briefly.

Niamh’s back was turned toward Eloise, she softly said, “I’m terribly sorry. I have an important matter to attend to. All of you make sure you treat our customers well. I’m heading off.”

After leaving, Niamh’s thoughts were still on Eloise and Nevaeh’s call earlier.

Looking at the cars coming and going in the bustling city, a deep smile presented itself on her face.

Thanks to Nevaeh’s current status, her birthday celebration was going to be very grand and plenty of influential, rich people were invited.

After all, Nevaeh wanted to use public pressure to force Kendrick to propose to her on that day.

Nevaeh spent the whole morning putting on her custom-made gown and fixing her makeup as she put on her luxury branded jewelry. She wanted to make sure that her entire being would look immaculate tonight.

She stood at the balcony as she looked down on the guests who were conversing with each other. From her high vantage point, she immediately spotted Kendrick’s car stopping in front of the main gate. She hurried down to receive him.

She had thought that since it was a special day, Kendrick would have formal attire on, but disappointingly, he only had casual wear on.

Even so, he was still unrivaled when it came to looks.

Nevaeh was a little unhappy, but she still went to receive him with a bright smile on her face.

“Kendrick, you’re here,” she said, “Kendrick, do you know? As long as I see you, I’ll be exceptionally happy.”

“As long as you’re happy,” Kendrick replied coolly.

Nevaeh felt like there was a hidden meaning to his words, but she did not dare press the matter.

She followed Kendrick into the garden as a tall, seven-layered cake was pushed out. The cake was beautiful beyond compare, and on top of it were the figures of a newlywed couple.

The crowd surrounded them as Eloise and Sean gave him a push. “Kendrick, my precious daughter has been waiting for you to propose for so long. Shouldn’t you finally make a move?”

“Kendrick, it’s Nevaeh’s birthday today. Why don’t you make use of this happy occasion to propose?”

“Propose! Propose!” the crowd started to chant as well.

Nevaeh looked at Kendrick with an embarrassed face. “Kendrick…”

Right as she spoke, a melodious and graceful female voice could be heard in the distance.

“Miss Montgomery’s birthday really is quite sensational. There’s even a proposal going on? It looks like I didn’t come here tonight for naught.”

Nevaeh had a shy look on as she waited for Kendrick’s response. Her mood was soaring.

She never expected that just as everyone was shouting for Kendrick to propose, an unwelcome voice would be heard.

Nevaeh’s smile froze on her face as she clenched her teeth in dissatisfaction. She said, “Why is she here?!”

Kendrick immediately turned around when he heard the voice, and the face he had been dreaming of every night entered his sight.

Following that, everyone else looked toward the direction where the voice had come from as well. A graceful and beautiful woman entered their sights, but once they took a clear look at her face, Eloise and Sean widened their eyes in shock!

“This… Niamh?! How… How is that possible?” Eloise’s face was pale, obviously scared as she unconsciously took a step backward. If not for Sean supporting her, she might have fainted from shock.

A dead person had appeared in front of them, so it was only natural that she was scared.

Sean was also taken aback, but he was still a man and had never done another against his conscience. That was why he was not as scared as Eloise.

To him, it was a person in front of them. It was impossible for her to be a ghost.

However, Niamh had clearly died, so how could she be right here?

It was one thing if she was not dead, but was she here to cause a scene again? He would not allow that woman to bully his precious daughter!

Nevaeh had thought that she would definitely be the center of attention that day, but with the sudden appearance of Vera, she suddenly felt like she had been sidelined.

Nevaeh raised her hand, about to pull at Kendrick’s sleeve, but she saw that Kendrick had already started walking toward Vera.

“Kendrick…” Nevaeh called out to him with a wounded look, but he did not stop.

Niamh had a gown on, and her elegant figure was complemented with the refined smile on her face. Her exceptional looks were also accompanied by a graceful demeanor.

Looking at Vera, thoughts of Niamh filled Kendrick’s head.

They looked exactly alike, which meant that Niamh was just as beautiful last time. It was just that he had never paid her any attention back then and never really appreciated her beauty…

“Mr. Waldburg.” Niamh greeted. “It looks like it was right for me to come here today. I’ve never seen an actual proposal in all my years alive. It looks like I’ll get to experience one today.”

Looking at her beautiful face, Kendrick said, “Then I’m afraid I’ll have to disappoint you.”

“Oh?” Niamh raised her eyebrow.

“Miss Quinn, why did you come to my house so suddenly?” Nevaeh put on a smile as she faked a curious face.
