Kendrick raised his eyebrow slightly. “Just think of me as a masochist, then,” he said while opening the door of the passenger seat.
“It’s too secluded here. I’ll drive you home.”
Niamh looked at the unreadable smile on the man’s handsome face. Then, she turned around and got into the car.
When she got back to the empty apartment, she searched online for her wedding photo with Kendrick six years ago.
Looking at the photo of both of them, her mind started to wander. Her quiet heart started to beat faster for no reason.
Now that she was reminiscing, those memories felt like they had just happened yesterday.
He was wearing a suit while looking arrogant and elegant at the same time. He was a man who was like no other.
She had held his hand as they walked into the church. There was a happy grin on her face.
However, that smile never again appeared on her face after that day.
Six years. In those six years, he brought her only pain and more pain after she married him.
However, what was he saying now?
The woman he loved the most was her?
“Hmph.” Niamh scoffed as her heart tightened.
‘Kendrick, it’s fine if you didn’t love me when I was alive. Now that I’m dead, you still want to crack jokes to make fun of me.
‘The woman you’ve loved this entire time is that evil two-faced b*tch Niamh!
‘Even though you’re aware of all the heinous things she has done to me in the past, you merely called off your marriage to her. Do you think this is enough to lessen the hurt you caused me?
“No.
‘The punishment you and Nevaeh are experiencing today is far from enough!’
It was dusk when Niamh arrived at the kindergarten.
After she picked Lillian up, Niamh looked into the kindergarten subconsciously. She looked for Jackson among the other tiny figures. However, after looking around, she could not find him.
Niamh turned around dispiritedly. When she was about to leave, she saw Eloise walking out with Jackson.
Eloise had spotted Niamh as well. Anger rose on her elegant and graceful face.
However, since Jackson was around, Eloise had to control her anger.
“Vera.” Jackson lifted his head to greet Vera. There was a rare smile on his clean and smooth face.
Niamh smiled in return. “Jack, how are you?”
When Eloise saw this, her face fell. “Jack, what did you call her? Do you know her? How would you know this evil woman?”
“Vera isn’t a bad person.” Jackson knitted his eyebrows together. The smile on his face disappeared gradually as he became down and dispirited again.
“She’s a bad person! She’s the one who caused your mother to be hospitalized!” Eloise’s tone became awful. She glared at Niamh while gritting her teeth. “Vera Quinn, stay away from my family. I’ll get back at you for what you’ve done to Nevaeh!”
“Pretty Grandma, why are you screaming at my mommy?” Lillian said in a voice as soft as cotton.
Eloise finally spotted the little girl who looked about two to three years old next to Niamh.
She wanted to teach Niamh a lesson, but when she saw Lillian’s big eyes and doll-like face, she was stunned.
She looked so much like her.
She looked exactly like Nevaeh when she gave birth to her.
“What are you looking at, Mrs. Montgomery?” Niamh smiled and asked.
Eloise came back to her senses and pointed at Lillian. There was suspicion in her eyes as she asked, “Is this your daughter?”
Niamh nodded. “Is there something wrong?”
“…” The expression in Eloise’s eyes changed. She inspected Niamh’s face profoundly for a while. Then, she scoffed. “Hmph, Vera Quinn, so you have a daughter yourself? Have you ever thought about how heartbroken you’d be if your daughter gets hurt by someone? Do you really think my daughter has no mother who loves her?”
At the end of the day, she was feeling sorry for Nevaeh again.
Niamh smiled. “I won’t allow anyone to hurt my daughter, but Mrs. Montgomery, are you sure you really love your daughter?”
“What do you mean?” Eloise asked in dissatisfaction. “Are you trying to incite disharmony between me and Nevaeh again?”
Niamh looked at Eloise calmly. “What I said on the roof is true. Rose did say so herself that your biological daughter with Mr. Montgomery has been dead since three years ago.”
“Rubbish!” Eloise did not believe what she said.
Niamh looked at the change in Eloise’s expression as her heart ached dully. However, she smiled calmly. “I’m not spewing rubbish. Time will give you the answer. However, I’m pretty curious. Did anyone around you die three years ago?”
“…” Eloise wanted to continue yelling at Niamh, but when she heard that, she felt her heart throbbing.
She immediately thought of Niamh.
Niamh had died three years ago!
“Lily, say goodbye to Jack. We’re going home now.”
“Okay,” Lillian replied obediently and waved at Jackson.
