Chapter 105 – Until You Say Sorry Novel

That voice, accompanied by rapid footsteps, got closer and closer.

However, she just calmly followed Kendrick’s footsteps to the breakfast shop.

“Niamh!”

At last, just when Niamh was about to step into the breakfast shop, the person in front of her held her hand tightly.

“Niamh! Niamh! It really is you!”

Ava held Niamh’s hand tightly with excitement. Her tears were like a broken dam, cascading down from her eyes without restraint while smudging her delicate makeup in no time.

“Niamh?” Niamh raised her eyebrows in confusion. “Could it be that you’re Niamh Delgado’s old friend and you also think that I’m her?”

Hearing Niamh’s answer, Ava’s tearful eyes whirled from shock.

“What do you mean ‘think’ of you as Niamh? Niamh, what on earth happened? Why did you show up here?”

Ava had many questions, but in the end, it was incomparable to the surprise of seeing Niamh at this moment.

She spread her arms around Niamh excitedly, feeling the realness of her friend’s flesh and blood. Ava’s voice trembled. “Niamh, it’s really you! That’s great! You’re still alive!”

She took Niamh’s hand in agitation and glared at Kendrick fiercely. “Niamh, why are you still with this scumbag? He and Nevaeh almost killed you back then! How can you still forgive him? Come with me! Don’t be together with this scumbag anymore!”

Ava glared at Kendrick angrily and pulled Niamh up to leave.

However, not only did Niamh not take a step, but she also withdrew her hand forcefully.

“Miss, you’ve got the wrong person. I’m not Niamh Delgado.”

She handed her business card calmly as she said.

“This is my business card.”

Ava stared at the business card Niamh had handed over blankly. The words ‘Vera Quinn’ looked unusually strange.

“Niamh, what are you saying? How can you not be my Niamh?!” Ava raised her hand, wiped her tears, and looked at Niamh’s face carefully. These delicate eyebrows were exactly the same as Niamh’s and even the dimples that appeared when she smiled slightly were exactly the same. How could it not be her?!

“Niamh, are you being threatened by this scumbag? Or have you lost your memories? I’m Ava! Don’t you know me anymore?”

Ava’s wet eyes looked at her hopefully.

Niamh curled her lips calmly and met Ava’s eyes with a smile.

“Miss, I really don’t know you. I also didn’t lose my memories. Please stop saying that Mr. Waldburg is a scumbag, and don’t call me ‘Niamh’ anymore. I don’t want to continue to be recognized as a dead person.”

Ava looked at Niamh who had said these words in disbelief. The excitement and eagerness in her heart were gradually extinguished by Niamh’s indifferent gaze.

“Niamh, what… What are you saying? Why did you become like this? I’m Ava! Your best friend, Ava!”

She stressed hard, trying to find something in Niamh’s eyes that could tally with her, but there was nothing.

Niamh gave Ava a cold look and turned her head. “Mr. Waldburg, I’ve suddenly lost my appetite to eat. Please send me home.”

“Okay.” Kendrick agreed readily.

“Niamh? Niamh!” Seeing that Niamh had turned around to leave, Ava caught up grudgingly but was stopped by Kendrick. “Kendrick, you scumbag! You must’ve done something to Niamh! Otherwise, she wouldn’t have become like this!”

Kendrick sneered lowly, his slender, dewy eyes looking at Niamh’s elegant back. “You really think she’s Niamh?”

“Nonsense! Of course, she’s Niamh!” Ava affirmed without a doubt. “Kendrick, I’m telling you, don’t think about hurting Niamh anymore. If Niamh gets hurt again, I’ll fight you tooth and nail this time!”

Hearing Ava’s warning, Kendrick suddenly curled his lips in self-mockery.

A friend who would fight tooth and nail for her.

However, what about this husband?

Kendrick did not say anything. He then got into the car and started the engine.

Niamh was seated in the car. She caught a glimpse of Ava’s dejected figure in her peripheral vision. She gradually became smaller and smaller in the rear-view mirror, and her heart hurt more and more.

‘I’m sorry, Ava.

‘Now is not the time to acknowledge you.

‘I’ll offer you a humble apology after I take my revenge.’

Niamh recollected her attention. When the car passed by an intersection, she requested. “Stop the car.”

Kendrick looked at her, puzzled, but he saw Niamh’s solemn face.

He stopped the car. Niamh then opened the car door and left.

Kendrick’s expression changed slightly. He hurriedly got out of the car to chase after her and grabbed her slender wrist. “Where are you going?”

After getting stopped, there was a bothered look on her graceful face. “I have deliberately saved your reputation just now with so many people around, Mr. Waldburg, but I’m really tired of you trying to see if I’m Niamh Delgado again and again.”

She frowned, looking extremely unhappy. “I don’t have to guess it. I know you didn’t want to take me to breakfast at all. You just knew that Niamh’s friend would show up there, so you brought me there on purpose, isn’t that right?”

“Yes.” Kendrick admitted flatly. He stared deeply at Niamh. “You look exactly like my ex-wife, which is completely fine, but you’re a woman who looks exactly like my ex-wife and is Felipe’s fiancée. It’s hard for me not to suspect you.”

Niamh chuckled upon hearing this. “The world is large and full of wonders. Mr. Waldburg, didn’t you also commit marital infidelity and conspire with your mistress to drive your first wife to death? In that case, is there anything else that is impossible?”

Kendrick’s gaze gradually sank.

This face was not similar, but it was exactly the same!

Yet, her words and actions were the complete opposite of how she used to be.

She had always been so careful, so inferior and cowardly. She was never this eloquent and her gaze was never bright like a torch.

“Can you let me go?” Niamh looked askance at her wrist that was being held tightly by Kendrick.

However, she never thought that not only did Kendrick not let her go, he instead gripped her wrist harder as he took her into his arms.

She fell into his arms without warning. A once familiar scent surrounded her all of a sudden, and that was Kendrick’s scent.

Niamh looked lost. “What are you doing?”

Kendrick just curled his lips. “It turns out that in your eyes, Miss Vera, I’m such a scumbag.”

He tugged the corners of his thin, sexy lips up and smiled evilly. “Since you’ve already seen through my scumbag nature, then you’d better be careful, Miss Vera. Because I like to challenge relationships that breach common sense, Future Aunt-in-law.”

“…”

Facing Kendrick’s profound provocation, Niamh pushed him off angrily. She turned around and walked across the road, trying to avoid Kendrick as quickly as possible.

She had only taken a few steps when suddenly, she heard a rapid honking.

Niamh stopped abruptly and looked sideways. She saw a car speeding toward her, about to hit her in the next second.

Kendrick, who saw this scene, had his heart come up to his throat.

“Niamh—”

Just as an accident was about to occur, Kendrick reached out and grabbed Niamh’s wrist, pulling her into his arms with all his might.

The car that ran the yellow light whizzed past Niamh’s side.

As Kendrick had been too forceful, he lost his balance and fell backward. The person in his arms fell to the ground with him, leading to a heavy crash.

“Don’t be afraid, it’s alright now.”

Niamh vaguely heard Kendrick said.

She wanted to get up but was enveloped tightly in Kendrick’s embrace. His right hand was pressed on the back of her head as though it was a subconscious act of protecting her.
