Chapter 160 – Until You Say Sorry Novel

Although his words were a bit vague, Niamh understood clearly upon hearing him.

“From the moment I saw Kendrick driving you out of the car and you falling on the side of the road in the wind and rain, I was determined to protect you.

“Girls are all treasures left on earth by God and should be cherished, especially a girl who is as great and as perfect as you,” Felipe said softly.

The tenderness of his eyes permeated everywhere like hot spring water from underground, surrounding her traumatized body and mind drop by drop.

Niamh looked at Felipe’s eyes dazedly. She wanted to respond but hesitated to speak.

Seeing her struggle, Kendrick only smiled. He reached out his hand and gently stroked her head.

“The 10th of the coming month is Old Master Waldburg’s 80th birthday. Whether or not Kendrick is interested in you depends on what he’ll do this time.”

Niamh lowered her gaze and pondered.

This was an amazing opportunity.

Perhaps, it was about time.

Niamh still had lingering fears thinking of what happened last night.

Fortunately, what Kendrick saw was just the butterfly-shaped birthmark on the back of her waist. If he had seen her chest at that time, her identity would be exposed.

On the other side, Nevaeh had hired people to keep an eye on Kendrick’s villa all night. Knowing that Niamh had been in Kendrick’s bedroom all night, the more she thought about it, the angrier she got!

She had gotten rid of Niamh completely after all the trouble three years ago, but who knew there would be a woman who looked so much like Niamh.

The main thing was that this woman was not as easy to deal with as Niamh.

Nevaeh stood in front of her mirror. Looking at the unhealed scar on her face, she became more upset.

She had almost used up all the methods available, yet Kendrick was instead becoming colder toward her. She also knew that only by continuing to play the role of ‘Little Nia’ would it be possible to snatch Kendrick back.

Firstly, she needed to treat the wound on her face.

Niamh was thinking when she suddenly felt a little itch on the back of her left waist. She scratched it a little but realized it was getting itchier, so she took a look in the mirror and found a red patch.

In order to pretend to be Niamh and become the daughter of the Montgomeries in the first place, she had not forgotten to tattoo a fake, butterfly-shaped birthmark on this part of her body.

However, as she had been too impatient back then, she randomly searched for a tattoo shop. Who knew that after only three years, not only had the color faded, but she was also suffering from itchiness due to her allergy.

Nevaeh desperately scratched it in distraught when she suddenly heard the sound of the door opening.

“Nevaeh, are you in the bathroom?” Eloise’s voice was approaching.

Nevaeh put down her dress hurriedly and came out of the bathroom casually.

“Mom,” she called out obediently, but her mood showed dejection.

“Nevaeh.” Eloise patted her shoulder, feeling sorry for her. “Silly girl, don’t think about the unhappy things. Those aren’t your fault.”

Nevaeh bit her lip, feeling aggrieved. “That Vera Quinn got so many rascals to bully me but nothing is happening to her. I didn’t think Kendrick would not look into this matter just to protect her. The more I think about it, the more heartbroken I am.”

“I’ll definitely pursue this matter for you!” Eloise assured. “I think Kendrick might just be confused for the moment. Just now, the manager of D.W called me and said that Kendrick went to order an evening dress. The size of the dress is the size you usually wear!”

Nevaeh was a little surprised upon hearing it. “Kendrick ordered an evening dress for me?”

Eloise smiled cheerfully. “The 10th day of the coming month is Old Master Waldburg’s 80th birthday. I think Kendrick ordered that dress for you to wear on the day. He wants you to be his companion to the birthday banquet.”

“Is it true?” Nevaeh said with surprise. All her worries and dissatisfaction from before were wiped out in an instant.

Eloise nodded affirmatively. “Of course, it’s true. You’ve also said it before that you’ve been together with him for so many years now and even given birth to a child for him. He’s just been throwing tantrums with you these days, but the person he actually loves most has always been you!”

Listening to these words, Nevaeh gradually regained her confidence. The more she realized it, the more reasonable she felt it to be.

“So, just be happy these days and take care of your injury first.”

Nevaeh nodded repeatedly with sparkly eyes.

She seemed to be seeing herself wearing the evening dress that Kendrick had personally ordered himself. She imagined walking beside him radiantly and enjoying everyone’s envious eyes.

She would never miss the great opportunity to announce her marriage to him when the time came!

Nevaeh’s mood improved a lot. After the scar on her face had scabbed off, she hurriedly went to the beauty salon for a laser treatment. After applying foundation, the scar was basically invisible.

The day before Old Master Waldburg’s birthday, the service assistant at D.W reported to her that Kendrick had personally picked up the evening dress and it should be given to her today.

Nevaeh looked at the photo. No matter the design or tailoring, the evening dress had quite a lasting charm. She could not wait to wear it right away.

Nevaeh waited and waited till it was dark, but Kendrick never contacted her.

She really could not wait any longer, so she called Kendrick, but no one answered.

She went to the villa to look for Kendrick, but he was not there either.

Nevaeh was anxious and annoyed. She had hired people to obtain Kendrick’s whereabouts, but nothing could be found.

Early the next morning, Nevaeh put on heavy makeup with dark circles under her eyes and went to Waldburg Manor with Eloise.

Many guests had already entered the yard one after another, talking and laughing with each other. The atmosphere was harmonious.

Nevaeh looked around, but she still did not see Kendrick.

Seeing Mrs. Waldburg coming out, she immediately ran over to ask her. Mrs. Waldburg saw her and was a little confused. “Kendrick called in the morning and said that he’d be bringing an important girl to meet his parents. I thought he was joking around and actually talking about you. But then, how could it be that he wasn’t talking about you? Then, who is Kendrick bringing?”

Mrs. Waldburg was puzzled and so was Eloise.

Nevaeh’s expression changed instantly. She had a bad feeling all of a sudden.

As she was being apprehensive, there was movement at the gate. She looked up subconsciously, her eyes about to pop out the instant she saw the scene not far away. Her raging anger shot up to her throat!

Kendrick was dressed in a well-tailored black suit, his tall and stylish figure perfectly outlined.

His countenance was golden while his noble and elegant temperament was revealed in his gestures.

It was this side of Kendrick that Nevaeh had wanted to seize when she first saw him!

She had seized him with conspiracy and tricks for many years, but she did not expect this perfect man to be holding another woman’s hand today.

Nevaeh angrily looked at Vera who was walking beside Kendrick. What was even more unacceptable was that she had thought that the evening dress Vera was wearing was one that Kendrick ordered for her, but it turned out that he bought it for Vera!

She had been looking forward to it for so long for naught!

In the end, reality hit her with a resounding slap!

Kendrick had always been a shining spot in the crowd. The guests in the garden noticed his appearance, and at the same time, they saw Niamh who was next to him arm in arm.
