Chapter 164 – Until You Say Sorry Novel

Niamh crashed into his chest unexpectedly. The familiar fragrance quickly surrounded her breath.

She used to like the smell on him and even longed to hug him to sleep every night. However, she had waited and waited until her heart sank like a stone. It was a hopeless ending…

Niamh curled her lips and laughed in mockery before looking up.

She did not expect Kendrick to be looking down at her. Niamh was a little perplexed when she inadvertently met his eyes that were as deep and blurry as the night.

She realized that Kendrick was looking at her very affectionately. Having seen his cold and ruthless appearance, his appearance at this moment made her feel lightheaded.

However, she noticed that the figure was still in the corner by the wall downstairs, looking at Kendrick and her.

She subconsciously thought that it was Nevaeh.

Only she would do such a sneaky thing.

She felt something cold on her cheek as she was thinking. It was Kendrick stroking her face.

Before she could react, she saw Kendrick’s handsome face inching closer toward her. Suddenly, he pressed his lips onto hers in the next second.

“…”

Niamh suddenly clenched her fists, wanting to push him away. She wanted to resist but thinking of Nevaeh who was peeping at them, she forced herself to endure it.

He could have said that he was drunk the other day, but now, Kendrick had not drunk at all but still kissed her all of a sudden.

Niamh could not predict his behavior at this moment.

Back then, he never kissed her even when conducting husband and wife matters with her. He had only slept with her to vent his frustration.

Now, he was kissing her.

He was kissing a woman who looked exactly like the ex-wife he hated.

How ridiculous.

Although, perhaps it was not ridiculous after all. At least it showed that she succeeded.

Kendrick had indeed developed feelings for her. Otherwise, he would never kiss her.

……

Old Master Waldburg’s 80th birthday was ruined just like that.

Relatives and friends left unhappily, but there was still a lot of discussions when they left.

Although Rose Tanner’s appearance at the end had taken all the charges off her, no matter how they looked at it, they felt that Rose was deliberately trying to get Nevaeh off the hook.

Old Master Waldburg leaned on his cane in the living hall, looking at Nevaeh who was still looking pitiful. He glanced at her contemptuously.

“Hmph, my grandson has finally recovered his senses and realized the scheming nature of this woman.”

Nevaeh was taken aback. She understood that Old Master Waldburg was calling her a two-faced bitch.

She gritted her teeth secretly, but her face was full of innocence.

“Old Master Waldburg, I know you have a deep misunderstanding toward me, but…”

“There’s no need to explain anything to me. You know very well what you’ve done.”

“…” Nevaeh was speechless.

Just then, Rose knelt down in front of Old Master Waldburg with a plop. “Old Master Waldburg, I did it all on my own. Nevaeh didn’t know about it at all. When she knew, she deliberately ran over to stop me. That’s why Nevaeh got into the accident. It was me. I was the one who caused Nevaeh trouble.”

She blamed herself whilst in tears.

“Old Master Waldburg, if you want someone to blame, blame me. It doesn’t matter even if you send me to the police station, but Nevaeh is a good girl. I really don’t want Kendrick to misunderstand her. She has already suffered so much. Kendrick shouldn’t break her heart this time.”

“In fact, all of these mistakes are Vera Quinn’s fault!” Eloise pushed all the blame onto Niamh.

However, as soon as her voice fell, two intimate figures appeared by the stairs. Niamh’s sweet voice sounded leisurely.

“Mrs. Montgomery, you’re really a good mother. The facts and evidence have all been displayed clearly in front of you, yet you still want to deceive yourself and defend your good daughter who’s two-faced.”

Eloise’s expression changed upon hearing this. Looking up to see Niamh walking beside Kendrick with a bright smile, she was angrier.

“Vera Quinn, if it isn’t for you, a third party who’s trying to steal Nevaeh’s fiancé, why would her foster mother hire people to kidnap you? It’s all because of you that Nevaeh had the accident. You really are despicable!”

“Despicable?” Niamh chuckled and walked toward Eloise. “On the contrary, I think Mrs. Montgomery is very pitiful.”

“What… What did you say? I’m pitiful?” Eloise’s eyes widened while her face, contorted by anger, no longer looked noble.

“Vera, whatever you want to do, do it to me. Don’t hurt my mom.” Nevaeh hurriedly went up to protect Eloise, putting on a good show to match her good daughter persona.

She quickly turned her weak gaze to Kendrick.

“Kendrick, I know you’ll never believe me no matter how I explain it, so just assume that it’s me. Please don’t blame my mom. She did it for me too.”

Nevaeh begged for mercy on behalf of Rose while Rose slapped herself twice, seemingly regretful. “Nevaeh, I’ve caused you trouble. Kendrick, you have to believe in Nevaeh. She has been kind- hearted since she was a child and has never done anything immoral. She—”

“Shut up.” Kendrick interrupted out of annoyance. He lifted his handsome but unfeeling face to look at Nevaeh. “I’ve told you not to mention this matter again. It’s your own fault that it escalated to this now. You don’t need to beg me. If you want to beg, then beg Vera. Whether or not we’re looking into it all depends on her.”

Hearing this, Nevaeh’s expression froze and her eyes were almost overflowing with unwillingness.

Rose was suddenly taken aback. What? She was extremely reluctant to go as far as begging Vera!

However, if she did not beg, she might really have to go to jail!

She did not want to go to jail!

At this moment, Nevaeh suddenly walked toward Niamh and knelt down in front of her.

“Nevaeh!”

“Nevaeh!”

Eloise and Rose spoke in unison and hurriedly went to help Nevaeh up, but Nevaeh pushed them away firmly.

Nevaeh’s action had also surprised Kendrick.

She actually knelt.

“Miss Delgado, what are you doing?” Niamh pretended to be puzzled whilst saying, “Are you begging me?”

Nevaeh lifted her face, showing her tear-smudged makeup. Her eyes were firm when she said, “Yes, I’m begging you. Miss Quinn, I beg you not to pursue this matter. Please spare my foster mother. She only did it for me. If you want to vent your anger and pursue this matter, just come at me. I’m willing to shoulder everything by myself!”

“Gee.” Niamh sighed emotionally. “Miss Delgado, you really are filial. Your foster mother has led you to be humiliated by several men, yet at this moment, you’re still willing to kneel down and beg me on her behalf. I’m really touched.”

When Nevaeh heard this, happiness suddenly appeared on her face. Presumably, these people should also think that she was a loving and filial daughter.

She suddenly felt so smart. Not only would Rose not go to jail, but she had also sold a good persona.

“Then, does it mean you won’t pursue it anymore, Miss Quinn?” Nevaeh could not wait to ask.

Niamh nodded with a deep smile. “Since you’re so righteous, Miss Delgado, then I’ll help you. I won’t pursue your foster mother. You’ll shoulder this matter by yourself!”

Following Niamh’s words, the smile on Nevaeh’s expression suddenly cracked. Her entire face became completely stiff.

What?

Did she hear wrongly? What was Vera talking about?

She just wanted to pretend and play a loving, righteous role in front of Kendrick and Old Master Waldburg. She did not want to bear the blame on Rose’s behalf!

She was just pretending!

Rose and Eloise were also dumbfounded. They did not expect Vera to be a ruthless character.

Seeing Nevaeh’s surprised expression, Niamh smiled leisurely at Kendrick. “Kendrick, in that case, you can accompany me to the police station now.”

Kendrick glanced at Nevaeh who was kneeling on the ground with a complicated look and nodded lightly. “Okay, I’ll accompany you.”
