Chapter 118 – Until You Say Sorry Novel

She knew Kendrick must have investigated her behind her back, so Niamh replied without holding back, “On the plane. We fell in love at first sight.”

“Really?” Kendrick gave a fake smile and scanned Niamh’s face sharply. “What was it about my uncle that attracted you the most?”

“I’m attracted to him in every way. He’s mature and reliable. In addition to that, he’s gentle and handsome. He’s one in a million. Meeting him is the luckiest thing that has ever happened to me in my life.”

The moment Niamh stopped talking, Kendrick stepped on the brakes all of a sudden. The traffic light in front of them had turned red.

She frowned and lifted her head, coincidentally meeting Kendrick’s deep eyes.

There was a thought-provoking smile on the man’s face. He moved closer to her and leaned his body toward her, immediately making the distance between them amorous.

“What do you think of me then?”

Niamh looked at him calmly and smiled. When she was about to say something, Kendrick’s phone rang, interrupting her answer.

Kendrick was unhappy. However, after he looked at the caller ID, his expression changed as he quickly picked up the phone.

“Mr. Waldburg, we have your DNA result. I’m sending the data and results to your email. If you have any questions, you can call this number.”

After he heard what was said from the other end of the phone, Kendrick tightened his grip on it.

Upon hanging up, he opened the app on his phone and saw the latest email he received. His pupils constricted as his finger lingered above the screen, but he did not tap the screen.

Honk, honk!

The cars behind them started honking as the light had already turned green.

“Are you alright, Mr. Waldburg?” Niamh looked at him curiously.

Kendrick pressed down on the lock key and tossed his phone to one side. “I’m fine.”

He pressed down on the accelerator. His deep eyes looked at Niamh intensely before he looked back to the road ahead.

Niamh wanted to know more about Jackson, so that was why she got into the car. However, after that phone call, the air inside the car became tense and horrifyingly quiet.

After the car stopped in front of the kindergarten, Niamh picked Lillian up but she did not run into Jackson. The teacher told her someone had already taken Jackson away.

Niamh felt dispirited when she did not get to see Jackson.

However, she was also worried if Jackson was taken away by Nevaeh. Would Nevaeh do something heinous to that child again?

Kendrick stood at one side as he looked at the mother-daughter duo walking into the nightfall. He pressed his lips together.

There were a million expectations in his head but that was also the reason why he refused to look at the email. He was afraid that he would see something he did not want to see.

No matter what outrageous thing happened three years ago, he would be able to accept it. At this moment, he wished the woman in front of him was her.

Kendrick thought about that as he looked at Niamh. Suddenly, a car stopped in front of him.

Felipe walked out of the car and made his way over to Niamh. He picked up Lillian who was standing next to her. After conversing for a while, Felipe walked in front of Kendrick and smiled at him.

“Kendrick, thank you for driving Vera over to pick up Lillian.”

Kendrick looked at him with a piercing gaze. “No need to thank me. I only did this to get closer to her.”

His answer was frank and there was a hint of willfulness as well as brashness in it.

Felipe smiled lightly after he heard that. “So, you’re still suspecting that Vera is Niamh?”

“Is she not?” Kendrick looked into Felipe’s eyes and probed.

He hoped to find some flaws from Felipe’s eyes, but there were none.

Felipe smiled calmly. “Vera isn’t Niamh, of course. Niamh has already left this world. You should know this. Even if she’s still alive, why would she stay with me if she loves you so much? Vera even gave birth to a daughter for me.”

Kendrick felt his heart ache when he heard Felipe saying that.

Felipe was saying that with such a calm tone, but Kendrick felt like he was boasting. He was boasting to him that he owned her now.

He was still unable to prove that Vera was indeed Niamh.

“Vera and I will get married soon. I’ll go back to the manor to announce this after a few days.”

Felipe walked to Niamh who was waiting by the car after he said that.

“Vera, let’s go home.”

“Okay.” Niamh nodded. She leaned against Felipe’s body intimately.

She turned around and said goodbye to Kendrick casually before getting into the car.

In a blink of an eye, her body and smile disappeared from his vision.

Niamh let out a sigh of relief inside the car. “He’s indeed suspecting me again.”

“You two have the same face, after all. It’s difficult not to make anyone suspicious, especially Kendrick. He’s more observant than the average person.” Felipe held Niamh’s hand after he said that. His warm smile and gaze caressed her worried face like a spring breeze. “Don’t worry. I’ve arranged for everything. He won’t suspect anything after a few days.”

Niamh felt slightly at ease after she heard Felipe’s promise.

He was her light and safe harbor when she was in despair and met with trouble.

Niamh knew she could never repay him. She had heard him earlier as well. If Felipe wanted to marry her, she would not reject him.

After a painful experience with her previous relationship, she would choose to be loved again if there was a choice.

…

Kendrick returned to the house while holding the phone tightly in his hand. There were answers in it that he could not wait to know.

However, as soon as he entered the house, he saw Nevaeh cooking in the kitchen while the maids instructed and helped at one side.

This scene made Kendrick think of Niamh.

He recalled the nights that she would be here making dinner for him and yet, he would just ignore her. He instead spent the night outside rather than coming back to face this woman who he thought was dirty and heinous.

When Nevaeh heard him coming back, she turned around and ran to him. “Kendrick, you’re back. I picked Jack up and I made dinner especially for you guys tonight. This is my first time making dinner, so I hope you’ll like it.”

She looked at Kendrick with passionate and loving eyes. “Kendrick, today my mother received an invitation card for Miss L.ady’s anniversary party. Will you go with me?”

Kendrick furrowed his brows. “I’m not available.”

“Kendrick.” Nevaeh’s smile disappeared gradually. “Are you still refusing to forgive me? It’s been so long since that incident. I was forced by Niamh. Why do you have to be so heartless over a trivial matter like this?”

“A trivial matter?” Kendrick suddenly smiled upon hearing these two words. His smile was obscure and indistinct. It was hard to read his expression, but his voice suddenly went cold. “I’ll find a time to announce to the public as soon as possible that I’ve already broken off my engagement to you.”

“…” Nevaeh looked at Kendrick’s back in confusion before hastily stopping him. “Kendrick, please don’t do this. You promised. You promised me back then that you’d take care of me for the rest of my life!”

Recalling the promise from back when they were at the beach, Kendrick knitted his eyebrows together.

Kendrick would only be acting rashly if he did not take into consideration their relationship back then.

A few seconds later, he parted his lips coldly.

“I’ll take care of you, but I won’t marry you.”

“…” Nevaeh’s face turned white. “Kendrick, why? Why are you doing this to me?”

She nagged and pursued, losing control of her emotions.

“Is it because of Vera? Do you think you owe something to Niamh, so now that a woman who looks so much like her has appeared, you want to make up for this debt through Vera, right?”

“I told you, this has nothing to do with her.” Kendrick’s agitated gaze landed on Nevaeh’s contorted face. “You’re asking me why? Why don’t you ask yourself?”

“Kendrick?”

“I like the Nia I married back then. She was innocent and kind, but now, you’ve changed. You’re not the Nia I used to know.”

“…” Nevaeh was at a loss as she looked at Kendrick’s face that was gradually turning colder.
