Chapter 104 – Until You Say Sorry Novel

Yet, compared to Kendrick’s assertive edge, Felipe displayed a somewhat more graceful and gentlemanly temperament.

Kendrick’s meaningful gaze flicked across Felipe’s face and finally landed on Niamh’s slightly smiling palm-sized face.

“Is he really your fiancé?” he looked at Niamh and questioned.

Niamh nodded without thinking. “Of course, could he be a fake?”

“Huh.” Kendrick smiled sarcastically. “A woman who looks exactly like my ex-wife has become my future aunt-in-law?”

“Kendrick.” Felipe interrupted calmly. “I know Vera and Niamh look alike, but they’re two different people. I hope you’re not imagining things.”

“It’s hard for me not to imagine things.” Kendrick looked at Niamh with an intrigued smile.

After he said this, he walked to Niamh’s side and suddenly bowed his head. A warm breath slipped past Niamh’s ear.

“I’ve suddenly begun to look forward to my next meeting with you, Miss Vera.”

Accompanied by his somewhat joking and profound words, Niamh’s hand that was holding onto Felipe’s arm tightened slightly by an inch.

Sensing Niamh’s uneasiness, Felipe raised his hand and gently held hers.

“Don’t worry.” He soothed, his tone always so unhurried, soft, and calm.

Soon, Kendrick left on his own.

It was only after the door closed did Niamh let her guard and vigilance down.

She quickly withdrew her hand from Felipe’s arm. Lifting her eyes to meet those smiling and gentle black orbs, the uneasiness and anxiety in her heart seemed to disappear in an instant.

“It’s really good that you’re back.” She smiled, her eyes flashing with endless gratitude and joy.

Felipe raised his hand and tucked Niamh’s long hair on the side of her face behind her ears. It was evidently such an ambiguous action, but when he did it, it seemed very natural and generous.

“I’ve seen all the news during this time and you’ve done a great job.”

Niamh shook her head. “I still didn’t handle it well enough. Otherwise, he wouldn’t be suspecting me again and again for being his damned ex-wife.”

Niamh carried bitterness in her emotions when she said the last two words, but she quickly smiled at Felipe faintly.

“Don’t worry about me. I’m no longer the silly and stupid Niamh Delgado. I won’t disappoint you with the chance of rebirth that you’ve given me.”

Felipe curled the edge of his lips and smiled. There was a touch of mystery in those bright and deep eyes.

Niamh helped him to take off the coat that had been dampened by rainwater and got him new toiletries.

He took a shower and put on a white bathrobe, wiping a few strands of his wet hair with a dry towel.

He entered Niamh’s room naturally. Seeing the cutie asleep on the bed, Felipe bent down slowly and dropped a loving kiss on Lily’s cheek.

“Felipe, I’ve cleaned up the room.” Niamh entered the room softly.

Felipe turned and walked toward her. “I’ll be going back to Waldburg Manor in two days. Come with me.”

“Okay.” Niamh nodded.

“Rest early. Goodnight,” Felipe said with his head bowed. His thin, pale lips landed between Niamh’s eyebrows without staying on unnecessarily long. He turned around and went out quickly, closing the door smoothly.

Niamh stood still in a daze, feeling somewhat complicated.

She was not a fool. Felipe only helped her so much because he had romantic feelings for her to some extent.

Especially when she was accused by Nevaeh of stealing the necklace six years ago. At that time, he had provided her with evidence that could prove her innocence.

He had already been helping her secretly since back then.

However, in the three years she spent with Felipe, she felt that he was too mysterious. It could even be said that he was unpredictable.

He was a gentleman, a decent gentleman.

However, Niamh’s instinct told her that he had a hidden secret.

Niamh shook her head to force herself to stop thinking about it.

After Kendrick left, he sat in his car. Even after the lights in Niamh’s apartment were switched off, he still did not leave.

“Felipe Waldburg.”

Felipe’s name came out from his lips.

Thinking of how Felipe used to care about Niamh’s every move, he gradually lowered his gaze.

“No.”

He suddenly denied something and thought of Niamh who had been on the operating table with no vital signs.

Her breathing had stopped and there was no pulse. She was a dead person.

Yet, if Vera Quinn was just Vera Quinn, he could no longer doubt it anymore. It was just that Vera was having such a relationship with Felipe, so it was hard not to arouse his suspicions again.

Thinking of Vera’s conversation style and manner, he could not help but think that she could be the Niamh from back then.

Kendrick looked at the wound that had been bandaged not long ago. He caressed the gauze as though he could still feel someone’s remaining warmth on the bandages.

He looked down and his gaze suddenly became tender.

‘Niamh, I would rather it be you.

‘Even if you no longer love me and hate me to my bones, I can accept it.

‘As long as you’re alive.

‘As long as you’re still alive in this world, whatever you want to do, I’ll accompany you.’

The next day, Niamh woke up early to make breakfast for Lily. Seeing that Felipe was still resting, she closed the door gently and sent Lily to the kindergarten.

When she was about to leave after sending Lily, Kendrick’s car stopped in front of her.

“Mr. Waldburg?” She behaved very calmly.

Kendrick got out of the car and opened the door to the passenger seat for Niamh. “Future Aunt-in-law, would you do me a favor and get in the car?”

“…” Although she was not used to hearing this form of address from Kendrick, she still got into the car calmly.

The car sped down the busy street and finally stopped at the intersection of the commercial street.

“There’s a breakfast shop here that makes delicious food,” Kendrick said while getting down the car to open the door for Niamh.

Had he brought her here for breakfast?

Niamh somehow felt a little weird about it.

She got out of the car hesitantly. Seeing so many office workers rushing to work, she then seemed to have seen a familiar figure passing by in the crowd.

“Ma-Niamh?!”

In the crowd, there was suddenly an overly familiar voice that came from nowhere.

Niamh’s heart was in her mouth all of a sudden and her heartbeat also increased. Yet, her face revealed no reaction. She walked toward Kendrick without even a single ripple.

“Mr. Waldburg, did you deliberately bring me here for breakfast?” She smiled, the morning rays after the rain falling on her immaculate and delicate face, shining beautifully.

Kendrick seemingly glanced in a certain direction, then nodded. “Won’t my future aunt-in-law show deference in a public setting? Or are you worried that Uncle Felipe will be jealous?”

“Why would Felipe be jealous because of such a thing?” Niamh smiled calmly, but her heartbeat was erratic.

She could still hear that familiar voice calling out ‘Niamh’ again and again.
