Chapter 171 – Until You Say Sorry Novel

“Shut up.” Kendrick interrupted coldly. He looked at Eloise, his gaze like sharp knives. He reached out his hand to hold Niamh’s hand. “Let’s go.”

Niamh smiled and looked at Nevaeh who was scowling at her. Then, she chuckled softly. “Okay.”

When Kendrick’s mother saw this, she ran forward to stop them. “Kendrick, what are you doing? You’re going to marry Nevaeh soon. How can you leave with this woman now?”

“Kendrick, one second you’re calling off the wedding with Nevaeh, then you’re marrying her again. Now, you’re still entangled with this woman. What do you think of Nevaeh?” Eloise’s face was green from anger. “You have to give Nevaeh an explanation today!”

“I don’t have the obligation to explain anything to you,” Kendrick said coldly. He looked at Niamh with his bottomless eyes and held her hand before walking forward.

“You…” Eloise was tongue-tied from anger. “How could my daughter fall head over heels in love with a man like this?”

Kendrick’s mother was embarrassed. She shifted the blame away hurriedly. “This Vera Quinn is even more despicable than Niamh! Nevaeh, don’t worry. I’ll always side with you.”

Nevaeh’s eyes were red from her pretentious grievances. Then, she ran out and saw Kendrick opening the car door for Vera before driving away.

She clenched her fists and gritted her teeth. Then, she smirked sinisterly.

“Vera Quinn, do you think you can defeat me by doing this? Hmph, just you wait. My wedding with Kendrick will definitely go on in three days!”

…

Kendrick drove for a while with Niamh with neither of them saying anything.

Kendrick saw Niamh’s dispirited gaze from the rearview mirror. He braked slowly and stopped the car at the side of the road.

“Give me some time. I’ll give you a complete family.” Kendrick looked at Niamh who had been quiet the entire time.

“You mean you’ll definitely marry Nevaeh in three days?” Niamh asked flatly. “You said you’ll take responsibility. Is this how you’re going to take responsibility?”

She deliberately looked at him in agitation. Then, she turned around and got out of the car.

Kendrick got out of the car hurriedly as well. “Vera.”

Niamh ignored him and kept walking forward.

Kendrick chased after her, grabbing Niamh’s wrist. Then, he pulled her in front of him.

Her beautiful eyes appeared in his vision again, making his heart beat erratically. His usual icy gaze had become softer all of a sudden.

“Vera, I genuinely want to marry you.” His eyes looked serious. “Give me some time to take care of this.”

“Really?” Niamh chuckled softly. “Mr. Waldburg, it’s not like no one else wants me. I don’t need you to marry me as if you’re giving me alms. Since you love Nevaeh so much, then I shall help you accomplish your aim. As for the child in my stomach, I’ll take care of it.

“I’m happy to know you. It’s my fault that I have the same face as Niamh. It’s not your fault that you resent this face so much.”

She smiled unaffectedly before lifting her hand to tidy Kendrick’s collar. Suddenly, she stood on tiptoe and got closer to his face.

“I hope you’re happy. Forever.”

Her sweet voice sounded like it was drenched with honey, her words flowing into his ears like the spring water in the mountain. Then, it landed right on his heart.

Kendrick was taken aback, then his heart sped up.

He lifted his head and saw that Niamh had already hailed a cab. Then, she got into the car and left.

Kendrick was dispirited for a few seconds before he chased after her.

He called Niamh, and though the call went through, she did not answer.

Niamh looked at the darkened phone screen and smirked.

She was making concessions in order to gain advantages.

She did not mean it when she wished him that. She could not let the two people she hated the most live carefreely.

Kendrick could not contact Niamh, so he became anxious.

It did not matter what the reason was, but he knew he could not lose the woman who had the same face as Niamh.

Even though he was obstinately clinging to the belief that this was the reason he could not let go of Niamh, he also realized the subtle change in his heartbeat whenever he was with Vera.

The feeling was the same as when he met Niamh for the first time in university.

Niamh went back to her apartment, and after a while, someone was ringing the doorbell.

Niamh saw Kendrick through the peephole.

His handsome face was magnified through the peephole—still as handsome as ever.

Niamh was satisfied when she saw the anxiousness in his eyes.

She did not open the door. She listened to the doorbell ringing continuously as she sat on the bar table quietly to enjoy her coffee.

Niamh knew very well that Kendrick cared about her more than Nevaeh at the moment.

However, why did he suddenly agree to marry Nevaeh?

There had to be a reason for that.

When she was contemplating it, the screen of her phone lit up again. It was from an unknown number.

Niamh walked to the french window and answered the phone. Then, Nevaeh’s cold and arrogant voice sounded.

“Vera, don’t think I don’t know what you’re doing. You want to use your pregnancy to stop my marriage with Kendrick, huh? Let me tell you now that there’s no f*cking way!

“Kendrick will go to the wedding dress fitting with me tomorrow. That dress is worth about seven digits and Kendrick made that especially for me! As long as I want something, Kendrick will definitely give it to me!

“Don’t even think about having a chance to stick your foot into our relationship. Listen closely, Kendrick is my man. I’ll end whoever dares to steal him away from me!”

After she heard Nevaeh’s threats, Niamh chuckled carefreely. “Nevaeh, you listen here as well. I’ll definitely stick my foot into your relationship. You have to get past me if you want to marry Kendrick.”

“You… B*tch!” Nevaeh cursed, “Vera, I’ll never give you the chance to do so!”

Beep.

After Nevaeh yelled at her, she hung up the phone in frustration.

The doorbell was still ringing. She pondered for a while before opening the door.

When the door was opened, Kendrick’s eyes lit up.

“Vera.”

“Mr. Waldburg, you and I have nothing to do with each other anymore. Please stop bothering me,” Niamh said coldly before closing the door.

Kendrick reached out his hand to stop the door as he looked at her intensely. “You asked me before if you’re destined to fall in love with the same man as her just because you look like her. Let me answer you now… Me too.”

‘You look like Niamh, so I started having feelings for you subconsciously.’

However, Niamh did not understand the deeper meaning of this sentence.

“Kendrick, I don’t understand.”

“You don’t have to. You just have to know that I genuinely want to marry you.”

“Really?” Niamh asked curiously.

“Truly,” he said confidently. However, he lifted his eyebrow. “I have to complete my process of marrying Nevaeh first though.”

“Why?” Niamh looked at him in confusion. “Why do you have to marry her?”

Kendrick looked into Niamh’s huge confused eyes before pressing his lips together. “Do you really want to know? Alright, I’ll tell you.”
