Chapter 106 – Until You Say Sorry Novel

Niamh just lay on Kendrick’s body. Her nose picked up the unique fragrance on his body. It was a familiar scent in her memory.

She felt her heartbeat and breathing going a little erratic. She did not know if it was the shock from almost being hit by a car just now.

When a breeze blew over, Niamh recovered her heartbeat and breathing. “Mr. Waldburg, you can let me go now.”

Upon hearing her voice, Kendrick seemed to return to his senses.

He slowly loosened his clasped hands and recalled how he had called her ‘Niamh’ just now.

“Thank you, Mr. Waldburg.” Niamh stood up and thanked him.

Kendrick also stood up. Looking at the unscathed lady in front of him, he was inexplicably relieved.

Niamh wanted to find a reason to leave as soon as possible, but then she saw Kendrick’s palm bleeding.

Fresh blood had oozed out once again from the place where she bandaged him last night.

Niamh took out the disinfectant wipes from her bag. She held Kendrick’s palm and casually treated his wound. Then, she wrapped it gently with a handkerchief.

Kendrick stayed still, watching Niamh carefully treat his injury.

He looked at her delicate eyebrows that looked serious. Her eyelashes fluttered gently, like small feathers falling on his heart, leaving invisible scratches after.

Kendrick felt his own heart skipping a beat for no reason.

“Thank you for before, Mr. Waldburg. I have matters to attend to, so I’ll leave first.” Niamh let go of his hand and turned around after speaking.

“I’ll fetch you there.”

“No need.” Niamh stopped and glanced at him. “I really don’t want to be treated as a dead person anymore.”

After her voice fell, Niamh got into a taxi on the side of the road.

Kendrick stayed in place. After seeing the car disappear from his sight, he then slowly lowered his gaze and looked at his wounded palm that was wrapped in a handkerchief.

Kendrick went back to the car when he received a call from Nevaeh.

Looking at the name displayed on the screen, Kendrick’s brows furrowed. After pondering for a moment, he at last swiped the answer button.

Nevaeh’s somewhat excited and somewhat aggrieved voice quickly came from the other end of the phone.

“Kendrick, are you finally willing to answer my calls?

“Kendrick, I know you must still be suspecting me for being involved in Jack’s kidnapping back then. I don’t blame you for misunderstanding me.

“Kendrick, can we meet? I have something to tell you.”

Nevaeh said many things as if she was talking to herself. She could not wait for his response and became more anxious on the inside.

“Kendrick, I really haven’t done anything that’s against my conscience. Moreover, Jack is our biological son. How could I—” Nevaeh said pitifully, but before she finished speaking, Kendrick’s low voice was heard.

“I’m not free today. Call your parents and go to Waldburg Manor tomorrow night. All of you. After everyone arrives, I have something to announce.”

Nevaeh initially thought that Kendrick would not care about her, but who would have thought that she would get such a reply from him.

“With my parents together, right?” she asked with uncertainty, her heart beating happily.

For her parents to be there, it had to be an announcement of their marriage!

“Yes,” Kendrick responded.

Nevaeh agreed impatiently. “Don’t worry, Kendrick. I’ll be there on time tomorrow night with my parents.”

“That’s great, then.” Kendrick hung up the phone after saying those last three words.

He looked at the darkened screen, his slender, dewy eyes reflecting a secretive light.

Niamh had gone straight back to the apartment. After entering the house, she saw that Felipe was already up.

He sat at the table by the French windows, wearing loose casual clothes. He was watching the financial news on his phone while elegantly biting on a piece of toast for breakfast.

Seeing that Niamh was back, he gave her a gentle smile. “Miss L.ady’s sales performance is booming. Every piece of jewelry that you’ve designed has become popular. I think you stand a great chance of winning the grand prize for this year’s GMA International Jewelry Design Competition.

“Also, I brought you the fragrance materials you need. You can continue with your dreams and career here with peace of mind.”

Listening to every word Felipe had said, Niamh was grateful. “Thank you, Felipe.”

Felipe smiled faintly. The pair of mysterious eyes showed a gleam of bright light. “What I want is never your thanks.”

His voice was soft and warm like a spring breeze.

Seeing that Niamh was a little lost, Felipe laughed a little. “Don’t worry, I won’t force you to do anything. As long as you’re happy, I’m willing to be your knight forever.”

Niamh looked at the gentle, smiling face in front of her, and her heart felt warm.

It was this smile that had scattered the haze in her heart.

If it were not for Felipe’s company and encouragement in the past three years, she would not be here today.

The evening of the next day.

Niamh followed Felipe to Waldburg Manor. He walked into the villa compound with a gift in one hand and Niamh’s hand in another.

Seeing that it was Felipe, the butler immediately reported to Old Master Waldburg.

Old Master Waldburg, who was resting in his room, suddenly tightened his loosened nerves.

Felipe had come back to the manor three years ago, but back then, he avoided seeing Old Master Waldburg with the excuse of being unwell. Such a thing could not be repeated.

Niamh, on the other hand, really wanted to meet Old Master Waldburg. She just did not expect to see Eloise and Nevaeh sitting on the sofa while chatting happily with Mrs. Waldburg when she entered the house. Sean was also speaking with Kendrick’s father on the side.

‘What day… is today? Is everyone here?’

Seeing Niamh and Felipe entering while holding hands, everyone in the room was shocked.

Kendrick, who was coming down from the stairs, saw Niamh and Felipe’s interlocking fingers. He lowered his gaze.

“Aren’t you Kendrick’s uncle, Felipe?” Nevaeh was suspicious. “Uncle Felipe, why are you with this woman?”

“Miss Delgado, please be careful with your words. Vera is my fiancée.” Felipe seldom got angry and had always been a gentleman, but at this moment, Niamh clearly felt his displeasure.

“What? This woman is your fiancée?” Mrs. Waldburg stood up with a whoosh. She sneered, “Felipe, you sure know how to find a wife!”

Felipe curled his lips lightly when he heard those words. “Vera is the best woman I’ve ever met. It’s my greatest honor to marry her and make her my wife.”

“…” Mrs. Waldburg had nothing to say momentarily.

It was also the first time Niamh had heard Felipe praise her like this.

She was a little flustered and her cheeks heated up slightly.

She did not think she would happen to meet Kendrick’s deep gaze that was looking at her meaningfully when she looked up.

“Mr. Waldburg,” Niamh spoke calmly.

Upon hearing this, Nevaeh quickly looked over and saw Kendrick coming. She hurried to his side and cast a mocking look at Niamh. “Kendrick, who would’ve known that the boyfriend that Miss Quinn mentioned before is Uncle Felipe. Don’t you think this is fate? It seems that Miss Quinn and Uncle Felipe are a good match, Kendrick. What do you think?”

Kendrick glanced at Nevaeh’s smiling face indifferently. With one hand reaching into his pocket, he walked straight toward Niamh.

“Kendrick?” Nevaeh stared blankly, the smile on her face disappearing instantly.

Kendrick completely ignored Felipe and everyone else, only walking straight to Niamh.

He looked at Niamh, curled his lips, and smiled. The hand in his pants pocket moved as though he wanted to take something out.

Under everyone’s puzzled gaze, Kendrick took out a dark blue velvet box from his pants pocket.
