Chapter 129 – Until You Say Sorry Novel

Kendrick had not planned on coming to the cemetery today, but Ava’s words lingered in his head for a very long time.

He knew remorse and apologies would not be enough, so he decided to come here to seek some form of comfort.

He was still holding the meaningful bouquet with 88 roses. After he placed it down, he caressed the name on the tombstone out of habit. He imagined that he could be closer to her like this.

However, it was just coldness under his fingertips. He was touching an icy tombstone and not a body of flesh.

Kendrick turned around and wanted to find a place to sit down so he could accompany the person who was sleeping here. However, when he lifted his head, he saw a white figure walking past one of the plots. That figure was petite and lithe, looking just like her.

There was a thin layer of mist during dusk, so Kendrick could not see the woman’s face. However, his heart started accelerating.

“Niamh…”

He blurted out her name and turned around quickly. Then, he ran in the direction of Len’s grave.

Kendrick sped to the place where he just saw the white figure. His heart was beating so fast that it felt like it was going to jump out of his chest.

‘Niamh!

‘Is that you, Niamh?’

He screamed Niamh’s name in his heart over and over again as he was sure that he was not hallucinating.

However, when he got to the grave, there was no one there.

What he saw moments ago was perhaps just a dream.

His heart went cold.

Was he having hallucinations from missing her too much?

Kendrick thought of that while feeling dispirited. When he was about to leave, he saw a trail of smoke coming from a grave nearby.

He narrowed his eyes and strode over.

He walked in front of Len’s grave. Len was Niamh’s grandfather. He could see the bouquet of white chrysanthemums in front of the tombstone and a candle that was still burning.

Indeed, he had not been hallucinating earlier. Someone had been here to pay their respects to Len!

Who else would come to pay respects to Len aside from Niamh?

Kendrick’s heart started racing again. He turned around and ran to the entrance of the cemetery without hesitating.

Under the setting sun, he could see a black car driving up to the main road from the exit.

Kendrick quickly drove his car and chased behind it. He kept speeding up.

He had a lot in his mind right now. His heartbeat was a clear indication of his emotions and how expectant he was feeling right now. He was expecting to chase up to the car in front of him. He was also expecting to see that she was the person in the car. He hoped that even though she had been declared dead three years ago, she would be the one driving the car.

However, after Kendrick chased up to the car, he saw only a man driving. There was no one else inside.

He felt as if his heart had plunged into a bottomless abyss. His expectations had turned into a pathetic illusion.

‘She’s dead.

‘Kendrick Waldburg, she was tortured to death by you.

‘Stop imagining things.’

However, aside from her, who in this world would go and pay respects to Niamh’s grandfather?

In addition to that, it was also a woman.

…

When Niamh arrived at the apartment after coming back from the cemetery, Felipe came back with Lillian just in time.

Lillian reached out her arms and ran toward her. After she ran into Niamh’s arms, she kissed her again and again.

Niamh looked at her precious little daughter with so much love in her eyes. The wound in her heart was healed slightly.

Then, she thought about Jackson. That kid was definitely psychologically ill. She would not expect Nevaeh to do anything, but would Kendrick take him to the doctor?

“What are you thinking about?” Felipe’s voice sounded in her ear.

Niamh came back to reality and looked at him. “Felipe, Kendrick asked me if I like him today.”

Felipe stopped removing his coat. There was a weird glint in his black eyes that was overshadowed by the setting sun.

“It seems that he’s starting to like you.”

Niamh let out a sarcastic chuckle when she heard this. “We have the same face and when I loved him so much, he ignored me completely, but now…”

She chuckled. She could not describe the mixed feelings in her chest.

However, she was happy with Kendrick’s reaction toward her.

The air went silent. After a while, Niamh heard Felipe saying softly, “I guess this is human nature. The easier you’re able to get something, the more ungrateful you’ll be.”

Perhaps.

An item would look cheap if it was easily attainable.

In addition to that, no one would appreciate cheap things.

‘So, it’s because I was so cheap back then that I died. That’s why you’re so happy.’

“Vera,” Felipe called out to her softly.

He did not like calling her by her precious name. That name was filled with so much darkness and pain while her new name signified a new beginning.

Niamh lifted her head and her eyes met Felipe’s narrow eyes. His eyes looked kind, enveloping her tightly into an air of warmth.

“I will support you in everything you do. However, if possible, I really don’t want you to carry out your revenge this way.”

Felipe reached out his hand as his fingers landed on her soft face. The coldness on his fingers made Niamh tremble.

There were a lot of secrets hiding behind his bottomless eyes. It was as if one would get sucked into his eyes if they looked into his eyes and probed for more than one second.

When Niamh was about to move away, Felipe walked closer to her.

His handsome face was magnified in front of her, revealing a hint of overpowering dominance and possessiveness. “He’s not worthy to have you, be it now or back then.”

Niamh felt her heartbeat accelerating the moment he said that.

She was at a loss. When she came back to her senses, she could see Felipe’s lips slowly getting closer to hers. When she was about to dodge away from him, he stopped suddenly.

His kiss did not land. He curled the corners of his lips and finally, he planted a doting kiss in between her brows.

Niamh was stuck in a daze when Felipe pulled her into his arms gently. He caressed his hair with his palm.

With her head tucked under his chin, she could not see Felipe’s smirk. Then, he hid the ominous smirk into his half-closed eyes.

…

The next morning, Niamh was woken by her phone.

When she looked at it, she was immediately awake.

Looking at the notifications and the private messages that were all cursing at her, Niamh clicked into them calmly.

Immediately, she saw all kinds of trending tweets.

Aside from those trending tweets, there was also a video.

The video was filmed when Nevaeh asked Niamh out last time. In the video, Nevaeh was begging Niamh to stop pestering Kendrick while looking weak and pretty in the cafe.

The content of the video was not that problematic, but the crucial point was when Nevaeh asked Niamh, “So, Miss Quinn, you’re saying that you’ll keep pestering my fiancé and continue to become the third party?”

In the video, Niamh only replied with one word—“Yes.”

However, Niamh clearly remembered that she had never said that in response to Niamh. Then, the video ended.

She knew that this was a trap laid down by Nevaeh. The video had been edited.

Nevaeh packaged herself into the image of a pitiful victim, then pushed Niamh to where the wind and the waves were the fiercest.

A lot of netizens who did not know the truth rushed to Niamh’s verified account and started cursing at her after they saw her reply. They called her a vixen and a shameless wh*re. She was able to see all kinds of dirty words and insults all over the place.

Niamh just glanced through these comments nonchalantly. Then, she went to wash up before changing into her clothes.

She looked at her face and body in the mirror. Then, she could not help but let out a laugh of pity.

‘When I was in love with you, I didn’t think I’d ever be worthy of you no matter what I did.
