Chapter 181 – Until You Say Sorry Novel

After Niamh said that, Kendrick nodded quickly. “I’ll do anything as long as you’re happy.”

“Kendrick, you’re so good to me.”

Niamh smiled sweetly at Kendrick as she grabbed his arm.

Nevaeh was shaking from anger when she saw this.

When she saw the pleased smile on Niamh’s eyes, the murderous aura in Nevaeh’s eyes became more and more intense.

…

On Saturday, Niamh wore a tracksuit and brought Lillian to the kindergarten.

Initially, Felipe wanted to go with them, but last night, he received an important phone call and had to fly to F Country that very night.

It was still early, but the entrance of the kindergarten was very lively.

There were four classes in the kindergarten. There were about 200 to 300 people including the parents of the children.

Niamh brought Lillian onto the bus. After a while, she received Kendrick’s text.

She turned around and saw Nevaeh and Jackson. They were standing next to Kendrick sweetly as they were in line to get onto the bus.

However, Jackson looked dispirited. His hand was being tightly held by Nevaeh. He even looked kind of down.

This child did not like noisy places and would only lock himself in a dark corner somewhere to nurse his wounded little heart.

Niamh felt a pang of pain in her heart. Suddenly, she had an urge to run down the bus to hug Jackson. However, the bus had already started moving.

Half an hour later, the bus stopped in the outskirts of the town that was famed for having the most spectacular view in Glendale.

This place was suitable for family activities like picnics and tracking.

It was the middle of fall, and the air was refreshing. It was the perfect time for activities.

Looking at Lillian’s happy smile, Niamh suddenly felt as if she was not a good mother.

She had been neglecting her daughter for the sake of revenge.

Even though she hated her daughter’s father, she could not deny the fact that Lillian was her only hope to continue living. Furthermore, she came to be because of Kendrick.

“Ew, Lillian, so it’s true that you don’t have a daddy!” Suddenly, a little boy pointed at Lillian and laughed with a smug look on his face. That little brat even placed his hands on his hips while targeting Lillian with his words. “Lillian, you liar. You said your daddy is handsome but you don’t even have one!” The little boy stuck out his tongue at her in a mocking manner. “Look at my daddy. He’s the most handsome man!” He pointed in one direction.

Lillian frowned with wide eyes. “I’m not lying. I have a daddy. My daddy is super duper handsome!”

“You don’t! You don’t have a daddy. If you do, where is he? You liar! I only pulled your braid last time and you lied to me that your daddy is strong. You even told me to stop bullying you, but in reality, you don’t have a daddy!” The little boy stuck out his tongue at her again.

The little brat was saying such words arrogantly. After he said that, he reached out to grab Lillian’s braid again. Niamh quickly ran over to stop him, but then, she felt something warm behind her. Then, a hand stopped the brat’s hand that was reaching toward Lillian before Niamh could act on it.

“Ouch, it hurts!” the little brat yelled in exaggeration. He lifted his head to take a look and was horrified by the man in front of him.

“F*ck! Who are you? How dare you touch my son?!” The brat’s father came over while cursing.

Kendrick lifted his handsome face and carried Lillian into his arms. “I’m Lillian’s father, Kendrick Waldburg.”

When Niamh heard Kendrick’s introduction, she was taken aback. She lifted her gaze and saw Kendrick holding Lillian. His angry eyes were staring straight at the man who was charging over.

“Daddy! It’s him! He bullied me!” That brat ran behind the man hurriedly. Then, he pointed at Kendrick and started complaining about him.

The man rubbed his hands together as if he was about to start fighting Kendrick. However, when he saw Kendrick’s face, he wilted instantly. “M-Mr. Waldburg! It’s you!”

Kendrick was indifferent toward the man in front of him. Plus, he also had no memory of him. However, the man started introducing himself with a flattering smile. “Mr. Waldburg, I-I’m an employee of the engineering department on the 16th floor in your company. You must have no idea who I am, but I’ve seen you before. I didn’t think that we’ll be brought together by fate!

“Oh, is this little girl your daughter? No wonder she’s so pretty. She inherited all of your excellent genes. Just look at her nose and mouth, they’re the same as yours…”

When she heard that, Niamh interrupted angrily. “Sir, your eloquence is horrible. Why don’t you teach your son the most basic manners instead?” Niamh scolded the man. When the man was about to fight back, he saw Niamh walking next to Kendrick and taking Lillian into her arms.

“Oh, is this your wife, Mr. Waldburg? How dignified and easy-mannered. You’re right to lecture me, Mrs. Waldburg. I’ll teach my little brat a lesson when I go back!”

The man smacked the brat’s head and darkened his face.

“You scoundrel, hurry up and apologize to that little girl. If you bully her again, I’ll spank you until your butt falls off!”

At this moment, the brat was not as arrogant. He lifted his anxious gaze and stammered, “I-I’m sorry, I won’t do it again…”

“Mr. Waldburg, a-are you satisfied?” The man smiled flatteringly.

Kendrick glanced at him with an icy glare. “Spare the rod, spoil the child. I’m blaming this on you. You’ll receive a warning letter next week. If you receive two of them, you should just hand in your resignation letter.”

The man’s face went white. He suddenly felt like an idiot for exposing his identity and causing himself trouble. “M-Mr. Waldburg. Mr. Waldburg, let me explain…”

Kendrick turned around indifferently and walked toward Niamh. When he got near to her, he heard Lillian’s cute voice asking, “Mommy, the handsome mister said that he’s Lily’s daddy. Do I have two daddies now?”

Niamh’s expression changed. Then, she smiled. “Of course not. Remember, Lily, you only have one daddy. His name is—”

“His name is Kendrick Waldburg.”

“…”

When Niamh was interrupted, she lifted her gaze. She saw Kendrick walking over to her with a gentle look on his face.

He was also wearing a tracksuit today. His elegance and temperament did not lessen at all. The autumn wind blew on the hair in front of his face. In that instant, he looked like a teenager.

Kendrick walked in front of Niamh and caressed Lillian’s head.

“Lillian, from now on, I’m your daddy.”

“Are you my daddy, beautiful mister?” The little girl blinked her huge eyes.

“Yes.” Kendrick nodded, his eyes extremely serious.

Niamh placed Lillian on the ground and smiled gently at her. “Lillian, go play with your friend. I’ll go find you later.”

“Okay,” Lillian replied obediently and ran away innocently.

“You’ll get married to me soon and become my wife. I’m not wrong for saying that Lillian is my daughter, right?”

Kendrick’s explanation sounded from behind her.

Niamh suppressed the dissatisfaction in her heart and looked into his eyes with a smile.

“Yeah, but Lillian is still young. I don’t want her to be troubled by the business between us adults.”

Kendrick nodded while looking pensive. There was a huge grin on his face. “I didn’t notice this before, but after what the guy said, I realize that Lillian does kind of look like me.”

“…” Niamh rolled her eyes. “That man’s just trying to curry favors with you. Lillian is Felipe’s daughter, so how would she look like you? However, maybe you two do look slightly alike because you and Felipe are uncle and nephew.”

Kendrick looked at Niamh with a small smile after she said that. There was a deeper meaning behind his eyes.

She smiled. “Kendrick, are you jealous?”

Kendrick lifted the corners of his lips, and there was an ominous glint in his eyes. They were glued on Niamh’s charming face.

“Your heart is with me, so why would I be jealous?”

“It’s good if you think that way,” Niamh said gladly, “Right, why aren’t you with your son? Even though I don’t like Nevaeh, Jackson is still a likable child.”

“Do you like Jackson?”

“Yeah, I do.” Niamh admitted it.

She was fond of Jackson from the bottom of her heart. She felt sorry for that child as well.

Looking at the smile on Niamh’s face, Kendrick fell into deep thought. Then, he said, “Since you’re so fond of Jack, then I’ll help you get custody for that child.”
