Nevaeh could not accept this ending. She refused to believe this as well.
No, Kendrick had to be retreating for the sake of advancing!
‘Kendrick must be pretending to not care so that I’ll stop using Niamh’s ashes as a bargaining chip.’
When Nevaeh thought about this, she found that it made sense.
However, when she came back to her senses, Kendrick had already driven away.
Nevaeh was unconvinced. She had gotten so close to becoming Mrs. Waldburg, but she was still disqualified. She would not let this go no matter what!
She clenched her fists angrily. “Vera Quinn, you b*tch! Just you wait!”
Eloise came out of the house just in time because she was worried about her daughter.
However, she did not expect to see Nevaeh clenching her fists and saying those heinous words.
Eloise’s worried heart fell.
This was the first time she saw such a sinister expression on Nevaeh’s face. In her mind, Nevaeh was soft and gentle. Other than that, she was loving and sensible. How could she have such a sinister expression?
Eloise recalled what Vera said to her not long ago. ‘Nevaeh Delgado is not your biological daughter.’
Her heart started to race. However, Eloise rejected that idea after a few seconds.
“No way. It’s reasonable for Nevaeh to be mad. It’s all Vera Quinn’s fault. That vixen is so despicable!”
Eloise found Nevaeh a reasonable excuse, and at the same time, she reassured herself.
…
After Kendrick went back to his place, the house was empty.
He walked into the bedroom and saw a note on the nightstand.
Kendrick reached out to grab the note and saw the beautiful handwriting on it. ‘Kendrick, I’m happy today. I thank God for allowing me to meet you.’
It was such a simple sentence yet it was so amorous to Kendrick.
Plus, it was signed off with three words. ‘Missing you, Vera’.
There was an unknown delight in Kendrick’s dark gaze.
Niamh was about to tell Felipe her next step when she received a call from Kendrick.
She looked at the screen of her phone and pressed on the silent button.
The more she longed for him to call her back then, the calmer she would be when she received his phone call now.
What one could not get easily would always be on their minds.
It was too late when Niamh finally knew this.
Kendrick called her three times but Niamh did not pick up any of them.
After a while, Niamh received Kendrick’s text. There were only four words. ‘I miss you too’.
When she saw this, Niamh curled the corner of her lips. A sarcastic smile appeared on her charming face.
Felipe saw the words on her screen as well and smiled superficially. “Perhaps everything would have been different if Kendrick had said those words to you back then.”
Niamh smiled. “Unfortunately, there are no ifs in this world.”
“Mommy, Mommy. Daddy.”
Lillian’s adorable voice called out to Niamh and Felipe. Then, she ran over happily.
Niamh smiled gently and benevolently at her. Then, she picked Lillian up.
“What’s wrong, baby? Are you hungry?”
“Um…” Lillian shook her head and handed her a notebook. “This is for mommy and daddy. The teacher gave me this. Everyone in the class has one.”
Niamh looked at it. “It’s a parent-child activity. It’s happening this Saturday.”
“The teacher said everyone’s daddies and mommies will be there.” Lillian looked at Niamh with her crystal-like eyes.
Felipe reached out his hand and caressed Lillian’s head. “Mommy and Daddy will go with Lillian as well.”
“Yay!” Lillian clapped in delight. She turned around and kissed Niamh. Then, she reached out her arms toward Felipe. “Daddy, hold me. I want to kiss Daddy too.”
Felipe smiled warmly and took Lillian into his arms.
Lillian then planted a kiss on Felipe’s face.
Felipe’s eyes were filled with love. He had always treated the little girl in his arms as if she was his daughter.
Niamh felt warm when she saw this scene.
However, whenever this happened, aside from gratitude and thankfulness toward Felipe, Niamh would also feel apologetic.
She could not reciprocate Felipe’s feelings even though he was such a nice gentleman. After seeking her revenge, the only thing she could give him was mutual respect and a promise to accompany him.
The next morning, Felipe received a phone call and went out.
After Niamh bathed Lillian, the doorbell rang.
To her surprise, she saw Kendrick standing at the door looking travel-worn when she opened the door.
When he saw the look of surprise on her face, Kendrick walked in front of her. His eyes were solemn when he suddenly reached out his hand to pull her into his arms.
Niamh was shocked. “Kendrick?”
“I miss you so much.”
He answered her and held her even tighter. It was as if she would disappear from his world forever if he let go.
He would not allow her to disappear.
There was a sarcastic smile on Niamh’s face.
‘Kendrick, we literally have the same face. Back then, you would look at it in disdain, but now, you’re missing it so much?
‘Hmph.
‘How preposterous.
‘How would I forget how you left me so many scars on my body with no mercy?’
Niamh held Kendrick while she faked being touched. “Kendrick, I miss you too…”
When he heard her response, he opened his twinkling eyes and tightened his grip on her.
She did not want to let Kendrick come in, but at this moment, Lillian walked in.
When she saw Kendrick, she was delighted.
“Hello, nice mister. You’re Jackie’s daddy. I remember you!”
When Kendrick saw the tiny human in front of him, he felt a gush of warmth in his heart. He squatted and caressed Lillian’s cheek.
“I remember you too, little Miss Lillian.”
