Chapter 125 – Until You Say Sorry Novel

How pathetic.

Kendrick looked at Niamh with a smile on his face. “Yes, I’ve never hugged her like that before.”

“Why did you hug me? Do you feel remorseful because you know the truth now? Have you now realized that you falsely accused your ex-wife so you want to redeem your sins by treating me as your ex-wife in order to feel better?”

Niamh questioned with a slight smile on her face. There was intense accusation in her eyes.

“Kendrick, do you think you’ll be able to shed all responsibility by doing that? No, you can’t. You’re one of the reasons why Niamh had such a lamentable ending!”

After she said that, a cold breeze brushed against her.

Kendrick frowned as he looked at Niamh’s angry face. “It seems that you’re very concerned about my ex-wife.”

Niamh was slightly taken aback after she heard that. She realized she had almost exposed herself just now.

She lifted her hand and ran her fingers through her long hair to hide her franticness. Then, she said, “Maybe I’m so concerned about her because I look like her.”

She found an excuse that she felt was appropriate. However, she noticed Kendrick was looking at her with a weird look.

“Since you’re fine, I won’t be staying.”

Niamh turned around after she said that. Before she could go far, Kendrick grabbed her wrist.

His hands were cold after getting blown by the wind. They were pressed against her skin so tightly, causing the strange sensation to penetrate her skin.

“Vera, I have a question…”

Buzz, buzz.

Before Kendrick could finish speaking, he was interrupted by the buzzing of his phone.

Niamh let out a sigh of relief because she had a feeling that Kendrick’s question would be tricky.

She could not let the cat out of the bag now.

She had just begun enacting her plan for revenge, so she would not allow anything to disrupt it.

Kendrick answered the call but he did not let go of Niamh. She could not escape even if she wanted to.

She looked at Kendrick as he started frowning. Then, his tone became colder. “What? Jackson is missing?”

When Niamh heard this, she felt her heart skip a beat.

‘Jackson’s missing again?’

She started to worry as well.

While she was spacing out, Kendrick walked to her with a frown on his face. “My son is missing again, but I think you can find him.”

“Me?” Niamh was surprised. However, she did not want to argue with him. Her racing heart told her that she wanted to know Jackson’s whereabouts as well. “I can look for him with you.”

“Let’s go then,” he said, letting go of his hand. Then, he placed his coat on top of Niamh’s thin coat.

This gesture shocked Niamh. Before she could react, Kendrick pulled her downstairs.

On the way, Niamh sent a message to Felipe to let him know what was going on.

Felipe supported her decision as usual.

The car drove into Kendrick’s house. Niamh did not have time to reminisce about all the things around her when she returned to the place she used to live in. At this moment, she only wanted to know where Jackson was.

She followed Kendrick into the house. When they walked in, the maid ran over and explained frantically, saying, “Young Master Jackson was in his room. When I went upstairs after doing the dishes, he was gone! I’ve looked all over the place but I can’t find him!”

Kendrick heard what the maid had to say with an icy expression on his face. Then, he looked at Niamh who had a frown on her face. “He won’t be able to go far. Let’s look nearby.”

“I think the child should be in this house,” said Niamh calmly. There was an ache in her heart when she thought about the previous times she found Jackson. She recalled how she found him holding himself tightly while shaking furiously.

“No, that can’t be! I’ve looked all over. I even called out his name, but I didn’t get a response.” The maid dismissed Niamh’s guess.

However, Niamh shook her head and looked over to the front of her before walking upstairs.

She was wearing high heels and a long dress, so she was not able to move as freely. However, it did not hinder the strong feeling she had for wanting to see Jackson.

Niamh quickly walked into Jackson’s room. After looking around, her eyes finally landed on the bathroom that was attached to the room.

Kendrick followed behind her. When he was at the door, he heard a soft voice of a woman. “Jack, it’s me, Vera.”

Was Jackson really in there?

Kendrick felt that this was outrageous. He quickly went to the bathroom and saw Niamh squatting on the floor. Jackson was in her arms with his eyes closed. There were tears in the corner of his eyes.

He was shocked. Suddenly, he remembered Niamh suggesting he take Jackson to the doctor.

Was this child psychologically ill?

He could not find an answer now, but he felt relieved when he saw that Jackson was fine.

Niamh wanted to leave after she found Jackson, but this child refused to let go of her. Plus, she was also feeling heartbroken for him, so she was reluctant to let go as well.

Niamh decided to stay after feeling this weird emotion. She carried Jackson to the bed and coaxed gently, saying, “Jack, you should sleep now. I’ll be here with you.”

Jackson’s bright but insecure eyes stared straight at her. “Really, Vera?”

“Yeah.” She nodded and promised before this little guy finally closed his eyes to go to sleep.

Kendrick brought some clothes and necessities for Niamh. “These pajamas belong to my ex-wife. You can wear it for the night if you don’t mind.”

He handed her the clothes. Niamh felt weird when she looked at the familiar clothes in her hands.

He had not thrown away her pajamas.

What was he thinking?

After Kendrick closed the door and left, Niamh continued to watch Jackson. At the same time, she called Felipe to tell him why she could not go home tonight.

After she hung up, she walked into the bathroom.

However, after she showered, she realized she forgot to bring the pajamas. She could only use a towel at this moment.

She wrapped it around her body hastily and quickly walked back to her room. When she was about to put on the pajamas, the door opened.

She subconsciously gripped the towel around her chest tighter. She lifted her head to look into Kendrick’s eyes that were staring at her intensely. What she was concerned about the most was how Kendrick was looking at the area of the left side of her chest…

There was a mole on her left chest that could prove that she was Niamh.

It was a mark that she did not want to destroy because she did not think that Kendrick would ever get the chance to see this part of her body after she ‘came back to life’.

She was here for revenge, not to start a relationship with him. As such, she did not remove the mole and it was still on her left chest.

When she noticed Kendrick’s gaze, she pulled her towel upward before turning her back toward Kendrick.

“Why didn’t you knock before coming in?” she asked in agitation.

She thought Kendrick would close the door and leave tactfully, but instead, she heard his footsteps approaching her. He stopped right behind her.

“Why did you come in? Get out.” Niamh wanted to chase him away and spoke in an icy tone. She clutched the towel closer to her chest and walked further away from him. She was barefooted.

However, the moment she took a step forward, Kendrick grabbed her slender arm.

His hand was so cold, but the moment he touched her, she could feel her skin heating up.

“Why are you so scared, Future Aunt-in-law? Do you think I’ll eat you up?”

“…”

Niamh had nothing to say. She just felt her heartbeat speeding up and her cheeks growing hot.

At this moment, Kendrick walked closer to her again. She could feel his warm body pressing up against her.

“Don’t worry, I won’t do anything to you. I just have a question for you.”

“What question?” Niamh asked impatiently. “Let me go first.”

Kendrick froze slightly after he heard that. He looked at the woman’s body in front of him as he started to space out.

Her body was fair and flawless while her skin was so soft and supple. When he saw this, he could not help but recall the gruesome wounds and scars all over Niamh’s body.

He felt a pang of pain in his heart as he let go of his hand all of a sudden.

“Never mind. I have nothing to ask you now.” His tone became icy out of the blue. “Thank you for finding my son and staying with him for the night. I’ll thank you properly.”

After he said that, Niamh heard the sound of the door closing behind her.

He was here to ask her a question, but then he left all of a sudden because of a change in his mood. What happened?
