Chapter 214 – Until You Say Sorry Novel

Seeing Niamh turning around and leading Jackson back, his gaze lingered for a while before he turned around and walked into the study.

After Niamh had sent Jackson back to his room, she whispered, “Jack, can you promise Mommy not to tell your dad what happened just now?”

Jackson blinked his clear, big eyes twice, then nodded his head. “Jack will listen to Mommy and not tell Dad.”

“Thanks, Jack.” Niamh caressed the little guy’s head and lovingly kissed his pink and tender cheek. “It’s very late, go to sleep.”

After Jackson lay down on the bed obediently, his small, fair hand gently pulled at Niamh’s skirt.

“Can Mommy put me to sleep?”

There was a hint of pleading in his infantile voice, and his expectant look made Niamh feel even more touched.

She could not refuse the little guy’s request at all.

She smiled gently. “Of course.”

Jackson showed his cute little white snaggletooth as he smiled happily, then he closed his eyes.

Niamh covered him with a blanket, then hummed softly. “Rock-a-bye baby, in the treetop…”

She sang and sang, but suddenly, the corners of her eyes were wet with tears.

She could not help but think of the missing child.

She had already looked through the people related to Nevaeh and the Delgados, but there was nothing suspicious.

Where would Nevaeh have hidden her child?

After Kendrick left the study, he walked to the entrance of Jackson’s room.

Seeing Niamh singing a lullaby to coax Jackson to sleep, an imperceptible gentleness gradually emerged in his cold, deep gaze…

After a while, Niamh went back to the room and saw that Kendrick was already lying on the bed.

Niamh walked over calmly and explained. “I couldn’t sleep tonight, so I went to the study to look for a book. I unexpectedly ran into Jack who was also an insomniac.”

Kendrick looked at Niamh with a faint smile. “Why are you suddenly an insomniac? Do you have any worries?”

“Perhaps many things have happened during this time and it has affected my sleep a bit.” Niamh casually presented an excuse.

She lay back down, trying not to make contact with Kendrick’s body after turning off the table lamp.

“Go to sleep. You need to get up early to work tomorrow.”

However, as soon as Niamh lay down, Kendrick approached her. He reached out to hold her in his arms.

The fragrance and warmth on Kendrick’s body lingered around Niamh, surrounding her.

Although Niamh let herself be indifferent, she still could not ignore the scorching warmth coming from behind her. It was pressed against her skin.

She suddenly recalled the eight-digit number of the start-up password.

The password to Kendrick’s computer turned out to be her birthdate.

This was outrageous.

Old Master Waldburg’s words involuntarily repeated in her head. ‘If Kendrick didn’t like you, he’d have never had any physical intimacy with you.’

Niamh wanted to laugh. ‘He likes me?

‘Grandpa, if he really likes me, he wouldn’t have hurt me to that extent. He wouldn’t have been so inhumane to tear my love for him into pieces over and over again until I became disheartened.’

“What’s wrong? Why are you so nervous?” The man’s low and deep voice slid into her ears like thick red wine.

Niamh suddenly withdrew her thoughts. In the dark, a sneer appeared on the corner of her lips.

“It’s nothing. I just thought of a funny joke all of a sudden,” she said indifferently, but her eyes were burning.

‘That’s right, it’s a joke. A very big joke.

‘He may love any woman in this world, but he’ll never love me.’

The next day after Niamh got up early to prepare a hearty breakfast for Jackson, she then sent him to kindergarten with Kendrick.

It was obvious that Jackson’s current state was much better than before.

Niamh had never seen a child who became happier and more at ease after being without their biological mother.

What kind of a devil was Nevaeh to be able to destroy her own flesh and blood to the point of depression and mental damage?

Waldburg Corporation.

After the morning meeting was over, Kendrick took Niamh to the department specializing in jewelry under Waldburg Corporation.

“It just so happens that the department manager here went abroad to study some time ago, so I’ll leave this to you now,” Kendrick announced in front of all the employees in the department.

Those who made jewelry were familiar with the brand Miss L.ady, and they were also familiar with the name Vera Quinn. Most importantly, Vera was their president’s wife.

Niamh readily accepted this new role. She was now going to penetrate Waldburg Corporation.

After familiarizing herself with the department all morning, Niamh then planned to look for Kendrick. Just as she got out of the elevator, she saw Yvonne holding an exquisite lunchbox while running directly into Kendrick’s office with a bright smile on her face.

It did not take long for Niamh to hear Yvonne’s coquettish voice saying, “Ken, I spent all morning making this. Quickly try it.

“Ken you don’t know how much I missed you when I was studying at F Nation…”

She had poured her heart out, but Kendrick seemed to be unresponsive to her. Not long after, Yvonne came out holding the lunchbox.

Niamh calmly walked over and Yvonne’s face darkened as soon as she saw Niamh.

Yvonne could not be bothered to put on a show and fake a friendly look in front of Niamh when Kendrick was not around to witness it.

Niamh ignored her. It was just that Niamh noticed how the other woman had curled her lips maliciously when she passed by. This was followed by Niamh feeling an obstacle under her feet.

She saw Yvonne intentionally stretching out her leg in an attempt to trip her.

Yvonne would actually do such a thing even with the knowledge that she was pregnant, but Niamh did not let herself fall.

Yvonne looked at Niamh, who was stable, in surprise. Then, she happened to meet her sharp and beautiful eyes.

Niamh curled her lips and smiled. “It’s better to steady your own footsteps before wanting to trip me.”

“…” In the midst of her shock and confusion, Yvonne suddenly tripped on her own foot. She immediately lost her balance, falling to the ground with a plop.

“Ah!” Yvonne exclaimed. Her lunchbox fell to the ground and the food inside was scattered all over. Her face, which had makeup on, also planted itself into a large area of the scattered meal.

Not only did she fall flat on her face, but even her makeup was ruined now.

“You! Vera Quinn, you dare trip me with your foot?!” Yvonne was outraged. She got up aggressively.

She was so loud that several staff members were now looking over.

Kendrick immediately walked out when he heard the words ‘Vera Quinn’ mentioned.

Yvonne cried and ran over to complain as soon as she saw Kendrick. “Ken, this woman is so vicious. She tripped me with her foot and now my lunchbox was overturned. Even my makeup is smudged!”

Niamh laughed. “Kendrick, she didn’t lie. I did intentionally trip her—”

“Ken, you heard her. She admitted it! Vera Quinn, you’re so vicious!”

“I admitted it, but do you dare to admit it as well? You wanted to trip me with your foot first just now. I was just returning the favor.”

Yvonne quickly shook her head and squeezed out two drops of tears. “Ken, I didn’t… She’s framing me. You know I’ve been kind since I was young. I would never do such a thing…”

“Look behind you before you lie.” Niamh smiled slightly and pointed at a spot behind Yvonne.

Yvonne turned her head abruptly when she heard Niamh’s words, only to see a surveillance camera.

Yvonne’s confidence deflated instantly. She looked extremely embarrassed.

Kendrick’s icy cold eyes swept over Yvonne’s face. “Don’t let me see you get any closer to Vera.”

Yvonne trembled with fright. “Ken, I…”
