Niamh had not gone far, so she could hear what Nevaeh said clearly. She felt an unknown agitation in her heart.
Kendrick would definitely carry her.
At least that was what she figured and it only made her agitated.
However, why should she still be concerned with whether he was getting close to another woman or not? She was upset because that vile b*tch Nevaeh was getting her way once again.
Kendrick, who was behind Niamh, did not carry Nevaeh. He drove the car out and let her get in. Then, he drove her to the hospital.
When he drove past the junction, he saw Niamh standing at the side of the street with the breakfast she had brought for him. He could not help but look at her for a few more seconds.
He was still concerned about that face at the end of the day.
After that day, Niamh did not see Kendrick anymore. These few days, he did call her and went looking for her at the shop, but Niamh chose to ignore or hide from him.
She once treated Kendrick like he was her entire world.
However, her world could be without him.
The only reason she allowed him back into her world was for revenge.
However, one should not try to run before one could walk.
Niamh knew she could not rush things now since Kendrick was starting to be concerned about her.
Since the fish had caught the bait, it was a matter of time before she reeled it in.
Sunday.
Niamh and Felipe had promised Lillian that they would take her to the amusement park.
Even though Lillian was not Felipe’s biological daughter, he still pampered her a lot.
He took good care of Niamh when she was pregnant until she gave birth. After Lillian was born, Felipe was even more considerate and caring than before.
Felipe was a perfect man that was one in a million.
However, Niamh knew that she was not worthy of him. She never thought about having any sort of romantic relationship with him.
“Daddy, I want that bunny.” Lillian’s sweet voice pulled Niamh’s wandering thoughts back to reality.
She saw Lillian with her arms around Felipe’s neck. Her legs were swinging happily as she nuzzled against Felipe sweetly. Her cute finger was pointing at a rabbit-shaped balloon in the distance.
“Please, Daddy?”
Felipe looked at Lillian with love in his eyes. “Of course, I’ll grant our precious Lillian’s every wish.”
He joked and carried Lillian over to the balloon seller.
Felipe rarely called Lillian by her nickname. He would only call her by her real name.
“Daddy’s amazing! I love you so much!” the little girl said sweetly before kissing Felipe’s handsome face cheerily.
Niamh smiled and followed behind them. She looked at the grin on the cute little face and felt that she had given Lillian the perfect name.
Lillian. Lily.
The flower Lily meant rebirth and that was what Niamh wanted for her and Lillian.
She did not want this child to be like her mother. Her mother was destroyed by the man she loved and died from a broken heart.
She wanted a perfect life for this child.
Felipe bought a balloon for Lillian and went on a few rides with the little girl.
Time passed quickly and it was now time for lunch. Lillian held Felipe’s hand happily and pointed to a themed restaurant in front of them.
“Daddy, I want to eat this! That burger is so big!”
“You’re such a greedy little girl. No one will want you if you become fat,” Felipe said while teasing.
Lillian blinked her pristine eyes blankly. She looked at Felipe seriously for a while and pouted before she started to cry.
“Boohoo… Daddy doesn’t want me anymore. I don’t want the burger. I don’t want it…”
Felipe did not think that the little girl would misunderstand him to the point that she even started crying devastatingly.
Felipe carried her in his arms and started comforting her while feeling remorseful. “You silly girl, how would I not want you? You’ll always be Mommy and Daddy’s baby.”
“Don’t cry, Lily. Daddy was just joking with you.” Niamh went over and comforted her as well. She wiped away her tears for her.
The little girl blinked her tearful eyes in disbelief. “So, Daddy, can I have the burger?”
“Of course. I’ll buy you anything you want to eat.” Felipe promised.
Lillian broke into a smile. “Daddy, I want to wee-wee now.”
Felipe looked at Niamh after he heard that. “I’ll go line up. You should take Lillian to the restroom.”
“Okay.” Niamh nodded and held the little girl’s soft hand.
Lillian held Niamh’s hand in one hand and held the balloon in another. She was happy, but when she did not pay attention, the balloon was blown away by the wind.
“Mommy! My bunny is flying away! My bunny!”
Niamh saw this and wanted to grab the balloon. However, she failed to catch it before it was blown even further away.
She watched as the balloon got away from them and at the same time, she was worried about Lily. As she was not paying attention, she crashed into someone behind her.
She felt a strong arm around her waist as a familiar scent wafted from behind her. Then, she felt a warm breath in her ear.
“Careful.”
When she smelled this familiar scent behind her, Niamh immediately knew who was the person holding her.
However, why was Kendrick here?
Had he brought Jackson here as well?
Was that child here too?
Niamh started thinking about Jackson all of a sudden. Then, she steadied herself and escaped from Kendrick’s arms.
“It’s that nice mister!”
Lillian called out toward Kendrick as a happy grin appeared on her pinkish face. It seemed that Lillian was pretty fond of Kendrick.
There was a slight smile on Ken’s handsome face. He looked at Lillian, then shifted his gaze to Niamh.
“I guess I made the right decision to come out today.” He had some overtones in his sentence. “Why didn’t you answer my calls?”
Niamh lifted her head and faked a smile. “I’m sorry, Mr. Waldburg. I’ve been busy spending time with Felipe and my daughter. I don’t have time to answer any meaningless calls.”
“Meaningless calls?” Kendrick lifted his eyebrow. When he saw Niamh turning around to leave with Lillian, he reached out his hand to grab Niamh’s arm.
Niamh stopped walking. “Mr. Waldburg, please let go. I don’t want to get beaten up by Miss Delgado again if she sees us and gets jealous again.”
Kendrick stared at Niamh’s face intensely. The sun was shining down on her flawless face, making her look so pretty that she was glowing.
When he recalled what happened, his gaze became softer. “I caused you to come all the way over for nothing. I’m sorry for wasting the breakfast you made me. However, I couldn’t just leave her to die.”
‘Well, of course.’
Niamh smirked sarcastically.
‘Kendrick, did you ever help me when I was struggling and pleading with you while I was falling into despair?
‘Not only did you merely watch on as I was tortured, but you even came up to me and stabbed me in the back.’
