Chapter 225 – Until You Say Sorry Novel

He was wearing all black and his brown hair was messed up by the wind. However, the poise and charm in his eyes still remained.

Niamh’s eyes turned cold after she saw the white chrysanthemums in Kendrick’s hands. “What are you doing here? You still have the cheek to stand in front of my grandpa’s grave?”

Kendrick allowed Niamh to insult him. He slowly walked over to the grave and placed down the flowers. After that, he bowed.

“Kendrick, stop pretending. If you hadn’t let Nevaeh get away with everything, my grandpa wouldn’t be here now. Nevaeh is a murderer and you’re her accomplice.”

Kendrick was taken aback when he heard that.

He did not know that Nevaeh was involved with Len’s death as well.

“Get lost. Leave with your flowers. Don’t dirty my grandpa’s resting place,” Niamh said in disgust.

When Kendrick did not move, she walked over and picked up the flowers he had placed before tossing them to his feet.

“Kendrick, do you think I’ll forgive everything you’ve done after your stupid flowers and bows?” It’s been four years but I’ll never forget how you trashed my grandpa’s grave and dug up his ashes in front of my face to avenge Nevaeh that day! Do you still remember what you did?”

Niamh complained and questioned as Kendrick recalled what happened that day.

He remembered everything clearly. That day, it had been very windy and snowy. Niamh was shaking violently as she held the urn in her arms, her teeth stained with blood. She had looked as wretched as a defeated puppet. However, her eyes were protesting what he was doing in determination.

She had said, “Kendrick, kill me. I don’t want to see you again.”

She also said, “Kendrick, you’ll regret this!”

However, back then, he had replied arrogantly, “The word ‘regret’ doesn’t exist in my dictionary.”

Niamh mocked when she saw Kendrick deep in thought.

“What’s wrong? Are you remembering everything that you’ve done? Do you remember how you were so sure that our child was a b*stard child who you couldn’t wait to crush her bones into dust?”

Kendrick came back to his senses after Niamh said those words sarcastically.

He recalled his cold-blooded behavior. He felt as if his evil doings were going to devour him.

‘I finally realized how painful your heart must have been at that moment.’

“Kendrick, stop pretending to look apologetic. No matter what you say or do, it’ll never mend the hurt you caused me.”

Niamh looked at him coldly. There was no longing nor admiration in her eyes. There was only anger.

“Back then, I thought that my grandpa was really sick. I asked you to lend me money but not only did you refuse, you even humiliated me with Nevaeh. You trusted her lies and was sure that I was having an affair with another man. You even called our child a b*stard child!

“Because of Nevaeh’s ruse, you thought that I was scamming your money and lying about my grandfather’s sickness. You allowed Rose and Jon to abuse me. Do you know how much I suffered?

“I vomited blood after Jon kicked me. I couldn’t stand up from the pain. However, you carried Nevaeh to the hospital instead. I was thinking, ‘The only thing I did was love you, but why do I have to suffer such painful consequences?’ Finally, I understood that I loved the wrong person.”

After she said that, Niamh let out a sigh. Her eyes were wet with tears because the knot in her heart ached all of a sudden.

Kendrick looked at Niamh quietly. Unbeknownst to him, his eyes had also welled with tears.

The shards of the past were piercing and stabbing into his heart.

“Kendrick, I will never forgive you!”

Kendrick’s Adam’s apple was moving. He suppressed the painful emotions and smiled softly. “If you can’t love me, then you can hate me. I’m happy to be in your mind even if it’s in another way.”

“Hmph.” Niamh snorted. “Stop imagining that your love is reciprocated!

“And stop disturbing my grandpa!”

She turned her face in disgust before she left without hesitating.

Kendrick watched as Niamh walked away silently. He squatted and picked up the bouquet of white chrysanthemums, placing it back in front of Len’s tombstone. His eyes were apologetic. However, the only response he got was the chilling wind of winter.

After he left the cemetery, he went to the police station.

He handed the police a plastic bag with a Chanel earring. The blood on the earring had already dried up a long time ago. Then, he told them the reason.

Nevaeh was stunned when someone told her she was charged with two more accounts of murder. After she registered what was happening, she started to panic.

Niamh’s identity must have been exposed!

It must be! If not, she would not be charged with these two crimes!

However, if Niamh’s identity was exposed, Kendrick would be the first person to go after her!

Indeed, as Nevaeh was starting to worry, Kendrick arrived.

She looked at the man in front of her as she trembled. Her face was pale, making her already haggard face look even more hideous.

“J-Kendrick, are you here to see me?” Nevaeh was still trying to use the soft approach on him. However, it was evident that it would not work.

Kendrick never loved her. Not even a little bit.

When she was exposed for pretending to be the little girl back then, she was nothing to Kendrick. She was not even a stranger anymore despite them having a son together.

“You look like you know something’s about to happen,” Kendrick said coldly. His tall body approached her as his overbearing aura terrified her.

Nevaeh shook her head innocently. “Kendrick, I don’t know what you’re talking about.”

She forced tears to well in her eyes so that she would look extremely aggrieved.

“Kendrick, for the sake of our relationship and for the sake of Jack, can you get me out of here? I was really falsely accused—”

“Heh.”

Before Nevaeh could finish, she was interrupted by Kendrick’s scoff.

“Do you know why you’re still alive?” he asked all of a sudden.

Nevaeh looked dumbly at the man who was getting more and more terrifying as each second passed.

“Because I’ve been waiting for Niamh’s answer.”

“…” Nevaeh widened her eyes in shock as her heartbeat accelerated from terror.

Indeed. Kendrick knew that Vera was Niamh and Niamh was Vera!

He called her Niamh so intimately. His eyes would even soften when someone mentioned her name. It was obvious that his feelings for Niamh were true.

“Niamh told me that she hates me. She hates me for all the things I’ve done to her. She hates that I always listened to your lies and caused her to endure so much pain that was even worse than the last,” he said while striding forward. His body was emitting a domineering aura that made Nevaeh so scared that she backed away into the corner of her cell.

Kendrick reached out his hand slowly and grabbed Nevaeh’s neck.

He wasted no effort in lifting Nevaeh, and his narrow eyes were filled with a sinister glare.

Nevaeh lost the ability to breathe. Then, her toes were not touching the floor anymore. She widened her eyes in shock as her face went red. “J-Kendrick, let me off. Please…”

“Let you get away with this? How?”

Kendrick’s fingers tightened their grip as the murderous aura in his eyes got even more intense.

“Do you know I fell in love with Niamh the first time I saw her in university? If you hadn’t appeared and told me that you were the girl I made my promise to back then, I wouldn’t have deliberately ignored her and treated her so coldly!

“Because of that promise, I allowed you to hurt the woman I love most with no restraints. And because of you, I treated my own child as a b*stard child. However, the truth is that you’re nothing. You’re not the girl I promised back then and you’re not the woman I love!”

Kendrick pursed his lips together, his eyes softening.

“Niamh has been the woman I love this entire time. She’s the little girl I met at the beach back then!”

When Nevaeh heard Kendrick’s firm and resounding statement, her eyes widened.

‘He knows! He knows everything!’

He even guessed that Niamh was the little girl back then!
