Chapter 13 – Until You Say Sorry Novel

Nevertheless. the plaintiff still reserved the right to look into this.

After exiting the lock-up. she saw that the sky was grey: it was drizzling.

Dragging her tired and battered body. Niamh was about to leave when she saw Daniel in front of her.

She was curious. “Dan, why are you here?”

Daniel smiled at her gently and opened the car door. “I’m here for you.”

Niamh was hesitant as she had not showered for two days. She was dirty and even smelled: she did not want to dirty Daniel’s car.

“Get in, Niamh. I’ll send you home.” Daniel could see Niamh’s concern, but he did not mind.

The rain started to pour even more. When they arrived at the villa, Niamh thanked him.

Just as she was about to get out, Niamh heard Daniel’s voice. “Is Kendrick horrible to you?”

Niamh turned her face away. “No. He’s great to me. Thank you, Dan. I’ll be going now.”

She got out of the car in a panic and went straight into the heavy rain.

Almost instantly, Niamh was drenched. When she was about to enter the house. the door opened. Next. Kendrick’s elegant and poised figure appeared in front of her.

When Niamh remembered her battered self. she did not know what to do.

Every woman would want to present their best selves to the man they loved. However. whenever she was with him, she would be in her worst and most torn-up state. At this moment, she was even covered in the scars he had given her.

“Who allowed you to come in?” Kendrick stopped outside the door.

Niamh looked at him. “This is my home.”

“Your home?” The man chuckled lowly. “Do you think you have the right to call this your home?”

The light in Niamh’s eyes faded. Kendrick’s words stabbed her heart like glass shards.

“If Nevaeh weren’t so kind, you would still be rotting in prison.” Kendrick’s words were laced with love for Nevaeh.

Niamh scoffed. “Yeah, if it weren’t not for . 1 wouldn’t have ended up in such a place.”

It was obvious that Kendrick was enraged by what she had said. “You’re still trying to talk back at a time like this?”

“Kendrick. I did not! I’m telling the truth!” Niamh clenched her fists and emphasized her words with her head high.

Nonetheless. the man’s handsome face was covered by a layer of frost. He lifted his icy glare and peered at Niamh. “No, huh? Alright, get over there and kneel. I’ll believe you if you kneel until the rain stops.”

Niamh was stunned. and she subconsciously touched her stomach.

“Don’t you want me to believe you? Why are you still standing here?” Kendrick said in a cold voice.

Niamh stood in the rain as she lifted her tearful eyes at the man who used to care about her so much in her memories. “Kendrick. I have…”

“Kendrick. I’m hungry.”

Before Niamh could finish talking, Nevaeh’s girly voice was heard from inside the house.

So. Nevaeh was here.

An indescribable pain started to spread all over her body. Niamh’s heart sank. It was as if it was sinking in a bottomless abyss.

Kendrick peered at Niamh impatiently. “Nevaeh will spend the night here. If you want to enter this house. you’ll have to kneel until I’m happy.”

After he said that, he slammed the door and turned around mercilessly.

The cold rain fell onto Niamh’s body. Consequently, the temperature of her heart plummeted along with the temperature of her body.

The sky became dark, and Niamh saw that the lights were turned on in the master bedroom. Two shadows were casted on the curtain, and they were such a sore sight.

‘Kendrick. will you really believe me?’

‘At the end of the day, I still won’t be able to compare to Nevaeh’s breath when next to you in bed…’

After that night, still in a drowsy state. Niamh was met with Nevaeh’s smirk.

“Niamh. I didn’t think you’d kneel for the entire night just to get Kendrick’s attention.”

Nevaeh was speaking with a lot of energy. It seemed like the child in her stomach was fortunate to still be fine despite her having rolled down the stairs.

“If you like to kneel. continue kneeling!”

She cackled heinously before turning around.

Niamh’s mouth was dry. She was unwell, so she did not have the energy to argue with Nevaeh.

After having stayed in the same position for an entire night, Niamh’s limbs were extremely numb. She got up and struggled to enter the house. However. before she could walk any further, Kendrick appeared in front of her.

Niamh was so tired that her knees were bent. She reached out her hand and grabbed

Kendrick’s collar. Her pale lips pleaded, “Kendrick. please believe me. I really didn’t push Nevaeh…”

Kendrick scoffed. “Why should I believe such a vile and heartless woman like you?” After he said that, he pushed Niamh away.

Niamh’s head was in immense pain as she sprawled on the floor: she was in so much pain that she could not get up. She clutched her stomach, and cold sweat started to form on her forehead.

When she thought about the child in her stomach. Niamh used all her might to grab

Kendrick’s pants. “Kendrick, my stomach hurts. Please take me to the hospital.”

However, Kendrick only peered at her in disgust. “Niamh, you’re so good at acting.”

“No. Kendrick… I’m not… Kendrick. I’m in a lot of pain…” Niamh moved her lips lightly.

She could feel herself drifting in and out of consciousness. She held onto his pants. “Even if you hate me or resent me, the child in my stomach is yours…”

“Hmph.” Kendrick scoffed. There was ridicule in his eyes. “Child? Niamh, you really can make anything up! Get lost!”

Kendrick kicked away her hand that was holding his pants. Upon being kicked away, Niamh laughed lamentably. She lifted her head to look at the frigid man in front of her. Tears fell down from her eyes as she felt an excruciating pain in her heart. “12 years ago. a boy said to me, ‘Linnie. I’ll protect and cherish you forever. I won’t let you get hurt…” So I guess those were all lies… Throughout the past 12 years, it was all a pathetic obsession… You’re not my Ken anymore.”

What?

Kendrick’s heart skipped a beat. The perfect and untouched intimate memory that he had always kept in his heart reappeared without warning.

He had met a girl named Linnie at the beach that year.

That girl was naive and innocent. She was cute and mischievous. He had almost fallen in love with her at first sight.
