Chapter 127 – Until You Say Sorry Novel

“I’m sorry. I’m not Niamh Delgado.” Niamh lifted her eyebrow in annoyance. “If you guys are just here to see if I look like Niamh Delgado, then please leave. I have a business to run,” she said coldly before turning around. When her face was out of Daniel and Ava’s sight, she lowered her gaze.

‘Ava, Dan, I’m sorry. Please forgive me for my cruelness.’

“Niamh!” Ava did not give up and grabbed Niamh’s hand. “Niamh, why have you become like this? You’re my Niamh. Why do you want to pretend to not know me?”

Ava was emotional. After she said that, she pointed at Daniel.

“You say you don’t know me, but what about Dan? Do you not know him as well? Have you forgotten how Dan treated you back then?”

Niamh lifted her head and scanned the handsome and kind Daniel. “If you guys still refuse to leave, I’ll ask someone to kick you out.”

“Niamh.” Daniel walked in front of Niamh. His gentle eyes landed on her face as usual. There was deep emotion in his eyes, but he was suppressing it.

“It’s good to see you again.”

He said that sentence so softly, but it was evident that he was genuinely happy.

Niamh felt an ache in her heart. She could feel tears pricking the corners of her eyes. She forced herself to smile coldly.

“I’m going to tell you one last time, I’m not Niamh! Stop thinking of me as a dead person,” she said in frustration. Then, she turned around to leave.

“Niamh!” Daniel reached out to grab Niamh with worry and franticness in his eyes.

“Is there anything else?” Niamh looked at him impatiently. “If you harass me again, I’ll call the cops.”

“Niamh, why have you become like this?” Ava looked at Niamh with hurt in her eyes. For the first time ever, she felt that the person in front of her was so foreign.

“Dan, stop thinking too much. Let’s just bring her to Dr. Brown. She must’ve been threatened by Kendrick and that’s why she’s acting like this,” Ava said as she grabbed Niamh’s hand. She wanted to take Niamh away forcefully.

Daniel looked at Niamh who was resisting with all her might. Then, he remembered all of the cruel things Kendrick did to her. He made up his mind that instant and grabbed Niamh’s hand as well.

“Let go of her.”

When everyone was looking at this scene with puzzlement, a cold and overbearing voice sounded from the crowd. After they looked in the direction of the voice, they saw that it was Kendrick.

Ava stepped in front of Niamh and protected her behind her back while glaring at Kendrick.

“You piece of trash!” She glared at the man who was walking toward her with no fear. “How long do you want to keep on torturing Niamh?”

Kendrick walked in front of Ava with a cold expression on his face. His cool and intense aura froze the air around them.

He lifted his head to look at Daniel, then in the next second, he walked over and pulled Niamh’s hand away from his.

“Kendrick.” Daniel frowned in agitation. “What did you do to Niamh?”

“You b*stard! You keep torturing Niamh again and again. Now, she’s completely brainwashed by you! You animal!” Ava yelled angrily.

However, Kendrick only smiled lightly. He glanced at Ava with a cold gaze before saying, “Niamh died three years ago. Don’t forget, you’re the one who cremated her. Do you think a person who has been turned into ashes can still stand here alive and well?”

Ava was unconvinced. She wanted to argue further, but after she heard what Kendrick said, the expectations in her heart went out immediately.

She looked at Niamh and became dispirited after seeing her charming face.

‘Is this really not Niamh?

‘No, that’s impossible.’

Ava glared at Kendrick angrily before gritting her teeth. “Kendrick, this must be a trap. She’s definitely Niamh! You’re the one who—”

“Enough.” Niamh interrupted her with a cold voice. “I don’t care what happened between you and Niamh, but it has nothing to do with me. Listen closely, I’m not Niamh Delgado.”

After she said that, she lifted her beautiful eyes and looked at Kendrick. “I’m going to give myself a break today. I wonder if you have time to accompany me, Mr. Waldburg?”

Kendrick looked into her mesmerizing eyes and smiled. “It would be my honor.”

After he said that, he grabbed Niamh’s hand.

Everyone around them made way for them conscientiously. Then, they watched as Kendrick left while holding Niamh’s hand.

Ava and Daniel ran after them immediately. However, they only saw Niamh getting into Kendrick’s car with a grin on her face.

“How is that possible?” Ava was furious and frantic. “Dan, let’s follow them.”

Daniel looked in the direction where Niamh left and was smiling softly. “Since Niamh is alive, I’ll still accept her no matter what she has become…”

Kendrick stopped the car near a park in the suburbs. After Niamh got out, she let out a long sigh of relief.

“It’s such a pain in the butt to look the same as Mr. Waldburg’s ex-wife,” she said in an annoyed tone. Then, she lifted her head while looking like she was confused. “Who’s that man just now? You look like you know each other.”

Kendrick looked at Niamh and averted his gaze with a fake smile. “A rich guy who can’t forget about my ex-wife.”

When Niamh heard that, her heart skipped a beat.

‘Can’t forget.’

What a beautiful term.

It seemed like there was still someone in the world who still could not forget about her.

However, for the past ten years, she was only thinking about this cold-blooded man in front of her.

‘God loves to play jokes on me.

‘I don’t love the person who loves me. On the other hand, the person I love doesn’t love me back.”

After such long and repetitive torment, the people who got hurt the most were the ones who gave their hearts to the wrong person.

‘Dan, you still haven’t forgotten about Niamh.

‘She doesn’t deserve you keeping her in mind.’

After Kendrick noticed Niamh’s silence, he said profoundly, “You seem touched, Miss Vera.”

Niamh came back to her senses and smiled. “I’m just surprised that there’s such an exceptional person who loves the ex-wife that you despised so much.”

“Exceptional?” Kendrick seemed to be unhappy with that word. He chuckled coldly, a dark tide surging in his eyes. It was crashing against Niamh. “I had a question for you last night, but I didn’t have the opportunity to ask you,” he said as his slender body approached Niamh’s thin frame. Then, he trapped her between himself and the car.

His intense gaze enveloped her confused face with a hint of mystery. There was so much love in his eyes.

“Vera Quinn, do you like me?”

His deep and seductive voice slid into her ear before landing on her heart.

Niamh did not expect Kendrick to ask such a question.

There was visible shock on her face. Despite feeling taken aback, she was still calm. “Kendrick, do you know what you’re talking about?”

“Of course, I know what I’m talking about.” He lowered his voice to make it sound even more alluring.

“I’ll be marrying Felipe soon, so why would I like you?” Niamh said coldly, pushing him away.

However, Kendrick merely grabbed the hand that landed on his shoulder.

“Do you really not like me? Then why did you come looking for me in the hospital last night and tell me that you’re worried about me?” he asked, “You were concerned about me. Plus, I don’t think you like my uncle all that much,” he said as his dark eyes lingered on Niamh’s face. He could feel his heart skipping a beat.

Despite knowing that they were two different people, he still could not ignore this face of hers that looked exactly the same as Niamh’s. Even though he knew by doing this, he would still be unable to soothe the wound in his heart.

Niamh was Niamh, and in his heart, she was not like any other. At the same time, she was his true love who he could never get back again.

After a moment of silence, Niamh took a deep breath. Then, she raised her beautiful eyes and looked into Kendrick’s gaze.

“Mr. Waldburg, you’re an exceptional man. However, I will never like a man who could be so cruel to his ex-wife.”

While looking at him, the fire of resentment was burning behind her eyes.

“Even though I look like her, I won’t repeat the same choices as her.”

She would not.

She would not let herself fall into this man’s traps again.

The reason she came back to life was to destroy him! She was not here to ruin herself once again!

After the silence, Kendrick chuckled and asked, “Do you know what choices she made back then?” he said while letting go of her hand. He then turned his back toward her and lowered his voice. She could not find any emotions in his voice. “Aside from her, no one would be able to go through the same things she did.”

‘No one would love me as much as she had. In addition, no one would be able to make me lose sleep every night like she was.’

However, Niamh did not understand what Kendrick was trying to say. She did not ask. She just felt that he looked desolate right now.

She looked at him with a cold gaze before lifting the corners of her lips.

It seemed that by playing hard to get, Kendrick had sensed that she ‘liked’ him.

Very good.
