She had changed?
No, she had never changed.
It was because she was not the Nia who Kendrick fell in love at first sight with.
She was just a fake good!
Kendrick indifferently retracted his arm and went upstairs.
Nevaeh ran over to him and put her arms around his waist from the back. “Kendrick, don’t do this to me. Please don’t. Yes, I’ve changed. The only change is that I love you even more now. I was afraid that you’ll get pestered by Niamh because of marriage. I was afraid of losing you, so that’s why I did something so stupid.” She explained frantically. Tears started streaming down her cheeks.
“Kendrick, will you change your mind and not break up with me if I turn back into the Nia from back then?”
Kendrick did not answer her, and he even pried her fingers away forcefully.
Nevaeh kept shouting his name from behind him, but he did not turn back. He walked straight into his bedroom.
He could not find any trace of Niamh on the double bed. However, he still sat on the spot that she used to sleep in out of habit.
After sitting down, Kendrick opened the email on his phone.
The result of Lillian’s and his DNA test was in front of him.
This time, Kendrick did not hesitate before tapping into the email.
Immediately, Kendrick saw a column of professionally analyzed data. He hastily glanced through it and scrolled directly to the end of the email.
After seeing the results, his breath froze for a second.
The doubts, expectations, and any traces of ridiculous hopes from the bottom of his heart turned into nothing in an instant.
The report clearly stated that he was not Lillian’s biological father.
However, their chromosomes were identical, and there was only one reason why they were identical. It was because Lillian was really Felipe’s biological daughter, which was why his DNA and Lillian’s DNA showed a kinship.
The phone slipped from Kendrick’s fingers unbeknownst to him.
The glow from the sunset scattered on his emotionless face. Kendrick eventually lifted the corners of his lips after a long while and let out a low laugh.
‘It turns out that there are indeed people who look so similar in this world.
‘The actual fact is, you’ve left me.’
His heart started aching as he recalled the loss from three years ago. Those feelings of regret and loss would be forever irreparable. He would never be able to sleep peacefully ever again.
…
Niamh was sure that Kendrick would not suspect her again, so she focused all of her time and energy on preparing the dinner party that was to be held two days later.
The most luxurious hotel in Glendale was without a doubt the six-star hotel that was owned by Waldburg Corporation. Niamh had reserved the place beforehand. When she was about to go sign the contract, she saw Nevaeh walking to her shop the moment she stepped out of the door.
She looked down. Her usual vulnerable and pretty face was covered in sadness. She did not look as aggressive as she was after tearing away her hypocritical mask.
When she saw Niamh, Nevaeh quickly walked over to her. “Miss Quinn, I wonder if I can occupy some of your time? I need to talk to you.”
Niamh looked at the hypocritical woman in front of her, peering at her in disdain. “There’s nothing to talk about between us, Miss Delgado.”
She walked away after she said that.
“Vera, I’m begging you.”
Nevaeh’s petty pleads sounded from behind her.
“I won’t take up much of your time.”
Niamh stopped in her tracks. She turned her stunning face around slightly. “Since you’re begging, Miss Delgado, I’ll give you ten minutes.”
“Thank you.” Nevaeh thanked her in a grateful manner.
However, this sounded extremely hypocritical to Niamh.
In a cafe nearby.
After they sat down, Nevaeh ordered some food and drinks courteously. She was smiling the entire time.
“Miss Delgado, just spit it out. I have something to take care of.” Niamh did not waste any time beating around the bush. Then, she placed her phone on the table and started playing with it casually.
Nevaeh clenched her fists that were hiding under the table when she saw how coldly Niamh was treating her. There was a sad expression on her charming face.
“Vera, to be honest, you look exactly the same as my sister, Niamh. However, please, I’m begging you, don’t repeat the same things my sister did, okay?”
After she heard this, Niamh lifted her head to look at Nevaeh with a smile. “Miss Delgado, please just be frank. What do you mean by not repeating the same things Niamh did?”
Nevaeh sighed, and her tone was soft when she spoke, “I hope you can stop pestering my fiancé.
“Miss Quinn, you’re so beautiful and you have such good qualifications. Plus, you have the recognition from a brand like Miss L.ady. You’ve even joined their franchise and became the shop owner. There must be a lot of men after an exceptional woman like you. So, why do you want to be the third party in this relationship?”
Niamh finally understood what was going on after she heard this.
Nevaeh came all the way here to poison the well.
The third party in this relationship?
Niamh wanted to laugh at that term.
Before the silence could even set in, Nevaeh’s eyes went red as she said with devastating pettiness, “Miss Quinn, I’m begging you. Please don’t ruin my relationship with Kendrick. Please don’t tarnish yourself as well. You won’t be able to lift your head in this lifetime the moment you become the third party in a relationship.”
Nevaeh’s words sounded like well-meaning advice, however, Niamh burst out laughing after she heard that.
“The third party?” She scoffed. Her spirited eyes were shooting out invulnerable looks at Nevaeh without restraints. “It seems that you’re holding your head pretty high, Miss Delgado. If not, how could you sit here and tell me that so shamelessly?”
After she heard that, Nevaeh’s face froze. However, she did not forget to maintain her vulnerable and pitiful expression. Her voice sounded so aggrieved as if she was going to cry at any second. “Miss Quinn, are you saying that you’ll keep pestering my fiancé and continue to be the third party?”
Niamh parted her pink lips and said slowly, “Do you know why I gave you a mirror on your birthday?”
“…” Nevaeh’s face fell.
“I guess you’re still confused about your position. No wonder Kendrick still refuses to marry you after so many years.” Niamh displayed a thought-provoking smile on her face before getting up and leaving.
Nevaeh stood up immediately as her hypocritical mask cracked. “Vera Quinn! I’m showing you kindness and yet you’re refusing to accept it! Alright! If that’s the case, just you wait. You’ll know the consequences of crossing me soon enough!”
Niamh turned around nonchalantly. When she saw Nevaeh’s furious face, she smiled even wider.
“Let that day come sooner. I can’t wait,” she said, holding her phone tighter.
Right.
She could not wait.
‘Just come at me, Nevaeh.
‘I’m ready to take anything you throw my way.
Nevaeh angrily ran to a room next to her after Niamh left the cafe.
“So? Did you get it?” she asked angrily.
That person shook the phone. “I got it all filmed.”
Nevaeh was slightly relieved. She narrowed her sinister eyes.
“Hmph, Vera Quinn, since you refuse to accept my conditions, then I’ll thoroughly ruin your reputation! I’ll let you experience what Niamh experienced back then!”
Niamh went to the hotel after she left the cafe.
She did not expect Kendrick to be the one to welcome her.
Plus, Niamh noticed Kendrick looking at her much more normally compared to last time.
