Chapter 115 – Until You Say Sorry Novel

“Vera, are you jealous?” he said that sentence out of the blue.

Niamh felt her heart tremble, and then, a nonchalant smile appeared on her face.

“Do you see this, Mr. Waldburg?” She pointed at Lillian who was standing next to her. “I already have a child with Felipe, so how would I care about men who aren’t Felipe?”

Kendrick’s smile disappeared slowly after he heard what Niamh said.

He frowned, his thin lips pressing into a thin line.

“She’s your and Felipe’s daughter?” he questioned in an icy tone.

Niamh smiled. “Of course.”

“How long have you two known each other?”

“Three years.”

Three years.

In those three years, Kendrick kept on unconsciously recalling the day Niamh left him—the feeling of her icy body in his arms and knowing that she would never come back to life again.

It had also been three years since that day.

It had already been three years since she left him.

“Lily, let’s go.”

“Okay,” Lillian replied obediently and blinked her crystal-like eyes. “Bye-bye, nice mister!”

Kendrick pulled back his wandering thoughts when he saw Niamh leaving. He grabbed her once again, his cold hand holding her thin wrist tightly.

“Mr. Waldburg?”

Niamh frowned in agitation when she saw Kendrick looking at her intensely.

“Is there anything else?”

“How old is your daughter?” he asked directly with a solemn expression.

“Two,” Niamh answered straightforwardly.

“You’ve known him for three years but she’s already two?” Kendrick frowned. He looked closely at Niamh. “It means that you started dating him after you got to know each other.”

“Felipe and I fell in love at first sight. I knew immediately that I wanted to be with him and give him children. Is there a problem?” Niamh replied straightforwardly without hesitating one bit.

Kendrick’s heart sank, but those disappeared suspicions rose within him once again.

“Kendrick!”

Suddenly, Nevaeh’s shrieks penetrated their eardrums.

Niamh lifted her head to look over and she saw Nevaeh running over frantically. When their eyes met, there was obvious detest and anger in Nevaeh’s eyes.

Nevaeh looked pretty spirited today compared to that day in the rain when she looked ever so weak.

She ran over to Kendrick and grabbed his hand that was on Niamh’s. She peered at it before looking at Kendrick with worry in her eyes. “Kendrick, Jack is missing!”

Jackson was missing?

Niamh’s heart skipped a beat for some reason and she felt uneasy. However, she was calm on the surface.

She also noticed that aside from the hypocritical worried look on Nevaeh’s face, Kendrick’s expression was also unperturbed.

It was as if Jackson was not related to him at all.

“He must be somewhere here. You don’t have to worry,” Kendrick said calmly before letting go of Niamh’s hand.

“You should look for him, Mr. Waldburg. There are so many people here and there might even be human traffickers among the crowd. Jackson is your only child. You’d be very upset if he goes missing.”

“Of course!” Nevaeh glared at Niamh in disdain. “Jackson is my and Kendrick’s flesh and blood. Of course, Kendrick is worried—”

“He’s not my only child.”

“…”

Before Nevaeh could finish, Kendrick interrupted her. Plus, it was as if he was replying to what Niamh was saying just now.

Niamh and Nevaeh were both taken aback at the same time. Then, they saw Kendrick smiling faintly.

“Kendrick.” Nevaeh grabbed his arm. “Kendrick, let’s go find Jack! Stop paying attention to these irrelevant people.”

Kendrick’s face fell, and it seemed that he was annoyed.

However, he still allowed Nevaeh to pull him away. Before he turned around, he looked at Niamh intensely with eyes that were as deep as the ocean.

Niamh felt uneasy after he looked at her like that. After bringing Lillian to the restroom, she went back to the restaurant.

Felipe had just ordered their food when they came. Lillian ran over to him happily. “Daddy.”

“Good girl.” Felipe caressed her little head and brought her to her seat. Then, he lifted his head to see Niamh spacing out.

“What happened?” he asked softly.

“I ran into Kendrick just now,” Niamh replied, “He and Nevaeh brought Jackson here to have fun, but it seems like they’ve lost Jackson.”

“By lost, you mean he’s missing?” Felipe asked.

“I don’t know. But I feel like Nevaeh’s deliberately ignoring the child.” Niamh voiced out the concern in her heart. Then, her eyes met Felipe’s gentle gaze. “Felipe, please watch Lily for a moment. I need to leave for a bit.”

“Are you going to look for Jackson?” Felipe could guess what Niamh was thinking about.

Niamh nodded. “Even though he’s Nevaeh’s son, he’s innocent,” she said before telling Lillian something. After that, she got up and left.

Felipe looked at Niamh’s back as the warmth in his eyes disappeared.

Niamh looked for Jackson alone. She saw Kendrick and Nevaeh walking past her a few times, but it seemed that they still had not found him yet.

Time passed quickly and it was now dusk.

There were fewer and fewer people in the amusement park now. There were only ten minutes left before the park closed.

Niamh finally realized that so much time had passed. However, she only grew more restless over time.

She was worried about Jackson for some unknown reason. She was so worried about him that she was inattentive to everything else.

Felipe called her and told her he would wait for her at the parking lot. After she hung up the phone, Niamh was still looking around in the amusement park. It was getting darker and darker, and she started to become frantic.

Then, she recalled Jackson’s peculiar behavior in her house. She immediately stopped in her tracks.

“C-Could it be that he’s there?”

At that moment, Niamh recalled something. She turned around quickly and ran toward a place.

The sky was already dark and the street lights were turned on. The empty amusement park had lost its liveliness from the morning. At this moment, there were only sounds of rustling trees.

“Kendrick, what should we do now? Jack must’ve been abducted!” At this moment, Nevaeh was leaning against Kendrick with fear and worry on her face.

“Kendrick, I can’t lose Jack! He’s our only child!”

She emphasized ‘only child’ and did not notice Kendrick’s expression sinking when she mentioned that.

When he was about to say something, he saw a familiar figure from the corner of his eyes.

“You should go back first. I have something to take care of,” Kendrick said to make Nevaeh leave before immediately walking away after that.

“Kendrick! Kendrick!” Nevaeh called out to him, but he continued walking without even turning back.

Meanwhile, Niamh went to several secluded locations based on her intuitions. Finally, she found Jackson behind a fake mountain.
