Chapter 138 – Until You Say Sorry Novel

She would never go back to that place again!

Never!

When Niamh was about to be taken away forcefully, a sports car stopped in front of the police car.

In the next second, Kendrick got out of the car while surrounded by an icy aura.

His face was ice-cold when he saw them grabbing Niamh’s hands. He lifted his eyebrow before pulling Niamh to his side and away from the officers.

“Nevaeh’s fall was just an accident. It has nothing to do with her. Please investigate thoroughly before you make an arrest.”

His tone was cold while his eyes were narrowed. After that, he grabbed Niamh’s shoulder and opened the door of the passenger seat. “Get in.”

Compared to the police car, Niamh would much rather get into Kendrick’s car.

In just a few seconds, Kendrick had driven her to a quiet and empty suburb.

When she got out of the car, Niamh asked him frankly, “I caused the woman you love the most to fall from a building. Why are you still helping me?”

Kendrick looked at her with a fake smile. “The woman I love the most? Do you know who the woman I love the most is?”

“Not only do I know who it is, but I think the entire Glendale also knows that the woman you love the most is Nevaeh. On the other hand, the woman you hate the most is your ex-wife, Niamh,” Niamh smiled and answered without thinking.

Kendrick lifted his eyebrow after he heard that. He did not say anything more. It was as if he had fallen into deep thought.

Niamh curled the corners of her lips when she saw the silent man. “Thank you for helping me just now, but I think you should go back to take care of the woman you love the most. I think she can’t be without you in this lifetime,” she said before turning around. However, the moment she stepped away, she was pulled back by her wrist.

The coldness penetrated her skin and enveloped her heart.

Kendrick grabbed Niamh’s wrist and walked behind her slowly. “That day, you asked me if you should marry a man who looks like me since you look like my ex-wife. I’m going to answer you now, and the answer is yes.”

“…” Niamh turned her head in confusion. Her eyes met his amorous gaze.

“However, there won’t be another man who looks like me in this world. So, you can only marry me.”

“Kendrick Waldburg, do you know what you’re talking about?” Niamh asked in surprise.

“Of course, I know,” he said with certainty. He had a confident and overbearing smirk on his face. “Vera Quinn, as long as you nod your head, I can treat Lily as my own daughter. I’ll help you take care of Felipe too, so you don’t have to worry about that. The only thing you need to do is to be my wife.”

Niamh’s plan was indeed to make Kendrick slowly walk into her trap and make him fall in love with her.

However, she did not expect it to happen so quickly.

Plus, after his torments, she came to a realization that whatever that was obtained easily would not be appreciated.

She thought about this in silence and smiled. “I’m marrying Felipe in five more days. Felipe loves me a lot and he’s good to me. Why would I give him up to marry a man who doesn’t love me? I’m not crazy.”

“You’re not. It’s me.”

His quick answer shocked Niamh once again. She looked into his eyes in disbelief. She felt his grip on her wrist getting tighter. It was as if her heart was being clamped tightly as well.

Kendrick’s slender body moved closer to hers, his cold scent enveloping her. “A woman once told me that I’ll definitely regret it, and after that, I really regretted it. I was feeling so regretful that I’ve been losing sleep every night. So, I don’t want to repeat the same mistakes again.”

Niamh did not understand what he was saying. Who was this woman he was talking about?

Even though she once said the same things to him during the period when she was hurting the most, when had he ever paid attention to what she said?

“Who’s the woman you’re talking about?” Niamh looked at the pair of narrow eyes in front of her intensely.

Kendrick laughed in self-mockery. “This woman is the woman I love the most in this lifetime.”

“Nevaeh.”

“Wrong.” He denied straightforwardly. His eyes were glued on Niamh’s face. “It’s my ex-wife.”

“Pfft.” Niamh burst out laughing. “The woman you love the most is your ex-wife Nevaeh? Mr. Waldburg, this joke isn’t funny at all.”

Niamh was laughing, but there was a dull ache in her heart.

That bloody wound was still causing her to be in pain without showing any signs of relenting. When she recalled those scenes from the past, there was only blood and tears.

However, what had he said back then? Did he say that he loved her?

If the opposite of love was hate, then he had indeed ‘loved’ her. He even ‘loved’ her to death!

When he looked at the sarcastic smile on Niamh’s face, Kendrick smiled superficially. “You’re right. It’s just a joke.”

He was laughing at himself, but deep within, his heart was as painful as if it had just been cut by a knife.

It was exactly like a joke. It was so pathetic that he almost did not believe himself.

However, this was already an undeniable truth.

“Well, the joke’s over. I should go now,” Niamh said in a cold tone. Then, she pulled her hand away from Kendrick’s hand without hesitating.

However, when she turned around, Kendrick walked in front of her.

“Do you have anything else to say to me, Mr. Waldburg?” Niamh asked calmly.

“I said you can call me by my name when we meet.” He looked at her. “You should think about what I said to you after you go back.”

He meant their marriage.

Niamh was feeling more and more confused about this man. “Kendrick, why would I marry you? Won’t you think about the ex-wife who you despise so much when you look at my face? Won’t you feel disgusted? Or perhaps you’re a masochist?”
