Chapter 169 – Until You Say Sorry Novel

After she said that, Kendrick’s icy glare pierced through her.

Nevaeh shook from fear. However, she looked into Kendrick’s eyes with a sad look. “Kendrick, I love you, despite you already changing your mind…”

Kendrick scanned Nevaeh’s face with a murderous glare. Then, he walked out with the door slamming shut behind him. His long and lean body walked past her like a gust of wind.

In the night, he slammed down on the accelerator and sped forward. He drove all the way to where Niamh used to live.

Her presence and scent were long gone in the house. However, he still longingly walked over every nook and cranny in this house she once lived in. Perhaps he thought he would be able to feel her warmth once more like this.

He flipped through Niamh’s diary and was delighted at the love and determination she had for him shown through her words. After a few seconds of joy, tears started welling up in his eyes.

He looked at the neon lights outside the bustling city and felt his heart getting colder…

Niamh stood in front of the french window at night, unable to forget the crazy thing Kendrick did in the morning.

She did not look into who the person sleeping forever in the grave was. She also did not know what Kendrick meant by those roses.

At this moment, her phone rang.

She looked at the caller ID and saw that it was Kendrick.

Niamh hesitated for a while before picking up. When she was about to say something, she heard Kendrick’s deep and drunken voice. “Niamh…”

Her eyes darkened as her grip on the phone tightened as well.

“Where are you? Where did she hide you…” Kendrick continued. He sounded like he was drunk.

Niamh recomposed herself and said calmly, “Kendrick, are you drunk? Where are you?”

After she said that, she was only greeted with silence.

Niamh looked at the screen of her phone in confusion. Was he really drunk?

No.

Even if he was drunk, it would be impossible for him to call her name.

She would never appear in his drunken dreams.

She hung up the phone and contacted Felipe who was not home yet to find Kendrick’s location.

After a while, she received Felipe’s text.

Looking at the address on the screen, Niamh was in disbelief.

He was there!

How was it possible?

She ran out of the door and headed to the destination. Standing in front of the apartment and looking at the closed door, Niamh lifted her trembling hand slowly before pushing the door open.

After Niamh pushed the door open, she could smell the stench of alcohol.

It had been three years. She never thought that she would come back to this place. What shocked her even more was when she pushed the door open, the decorations and renovation were still the same as back then.

Everything in front of her eyes was the same as three years ago. There were not many changes.

Niamh walked forward slowly with puzzlement. The apartment was not big, so when she walked in, she spotted Kendrick right away.

He was leaning against the sofa while sitting on the floor. His eyes were closed, making him look lazy and carefree.

The collar of his white shirt was opened and his collarbone was showing.

His cheeks were red while his pale lips were wet. It seemed as if he had just drunk some wine. On the coffee table in front of him were two bottles of opened wine.

Niamh looked curiously at the man who appeared drunk.

‘Kendrick, what the hell are you doing?

‘Are you here to drink your sorrows away?’

Niamh walked over with caution. “Kendrick.”

She called out softly, “This is Vera. Why are you drunk here?”

Kendrick opened his dazed eyes when he heard her voice.

However, when he looked at the smiling face through his dazed eyes, the alcohol in his eyes evaporated immediately. They became crystal clear in an instant.

He sat up immediately and pulled Niamh into his arms.

Niamh was caught off guard and got pulled into his embrace. He was holding her tightly.

His body temperature was high, almost burning her through his shirt.

Niamh wanted to escape from him but Kendrick only tightened his grip on her. It was as if he was trying to melt her into his body.

“You’re back. It’s good now that you’re back. It’s good…” he muttered in her ear, his cheek pressing up against hers tightly. He nuzzled against her as he muttered his longing for her.

“Please don’t leave me again, okay?”

His low and gentle voice was filled with pleas.

Niamh lifted her eyebrow, and she was sure that Kendrick was mistaking her for another woman.

It was either Nevaeh or the woman Kendrick wanted to give the roses to.

“I’m sorry. It’s all my fault. Please give me another chance. Give me another chance to love you, okay?”

Kendrick’s apologies lingered in her ear. He was holding her with his fingers in her hair. His warm hand was caressing her head softly.

While they were intertwined in each other’s arms, he buried his head in her neck like he was longing for her, or perhaps, he was lusting for her. He had a satisfied grin on his face now.

“I never had the chance to tell you this, but I finally have the chance now.”

When Niamh was about to push Kendrick away and stand up, she heard him saying that.

She stopped in her tracks, and then, she heard Kendrick’s deep voice gliding into her ears.

“I love you.”

‘I love you.’

These three words traveled into Niamh’s ears clearly.

She froze as her heart skipped a beat.

For some reason, she felt tears stinging the corner of her eyes.

He said the words ‘I love you’.

Niamh curled the corners of her lips in amusement. As she was smiling, her eyes were wet with tears.

She remembered back when she was blind, Kendrick had pressed her roughly against the floor right here before grabbing her hand and forcing her to sign the divorce papers.

She would never forget what he had said to her. He said, “Are you still so naive to think that I have feelings for you even until now?”

He had also said, “Niamh, listen here. I’ve never liked you, let alone loved. Not even a little bit.”

Tears blurred her vision just like back then.
