It was Kendrick who had personally dictated it!
The reason was that he liked her?
‘He likes me?’
Niamh still thought this reason was absurd.
Even if he did say he loved her every now and then, the torture that had engulfed her in darkness in the past was still vivid.
“I’ll send you back.” Kendrick’s voice suddenly rang in her ears and Niamh returned to her senses.
She looked at the man beside her, her gaze full of questions.
‘No, Eveline Montgomery. Don’t believe this man.
‘If he had had any trace of affection for you, you wouldn’t be harboring such deep hatred today.’
Kendrick noticed that Niamh was looking at him a little strangely. He delusionally wished that she still had some attachment toward him.
It was a pity that a fantasy was just fantasy after all.
Niamh called a cab by the roadside and went back alone. Kendrick only left after desolately watching Niamh who drifted away.
Not long after he left, a figure entered stealthily into the nursing home.
That person went straight to the front desk and announced, “I’m Old Mr. Waldburg’s granddaughter-in- law, Niamh Delgado. I have something important to ask of him.”
…
After returning home, the words that Old Master Waldburg had said kept popping up in her mind.
After signing the divorce papers, Niamh never wanted to see Kendrick ever again. Today, however, she met him again to meet Old Master Waldburg.
Now, Niamh was driving to the villa for some reason. She thought of seeing Jackson but found that the villa was enveloped in darkness.
She hurriedly dialed Kendrick’s number. As soon as the call connected, she asked, “Kendrick, where are you? Where’s Jack? Where did you take Jack?”
Kendrick did not answer immediately. He opened his mouth after a while and said, “He’s here at my parents’ place.”
“Where are your parents?”
“You’ll take Jack away soon. Although my parents aren’t qualified grandparents, Jack’s still their grandson.”
Niamh understood when she heard this.
She did not ask Kendrick to bring Jack back immediately and just said indifferently, “I’ll drive over now and see you downstairs at the residential area in a while.”
Niamh immediately drove over after hanging up the call.
She parked her car outside of the residential area. As she was about to call Kendrick after getting out of the car, someone suddenly ran into her from behind and knocked her phone to the ground.
Niamh initially thought that person had not been careful, but when she turned her head and saw Yvonne’s arrogant face, she knew that it was intentional.
“Tsk, look who’s here. If it isn’t my heartless and inhumane cousin-in-law?” Yvonne said, her gaze arrogant. “What are you doing here? Do you want to see how bad my cousin is doing? I’m telling you, stop being delusional! As long as I’m by my cousin’s side, he’ll definitely have a comeback one day!”
Niamh did not know where Yvonne found the confidence to say such things, but she really did not bother to waste her time with Yvonne. As such, she bent down to pick up her phone.
An evil smile appeared on Yvonne’s face upon seeing this. She lifted her foot to kick Niamh’s body.
Niamh saw Yvonne’s insidious act through the rear-view mirror of the car. She picked up her phone speedily and retreated to the side flexibly.
Yvonne had used too much force and stepped on the air, causing her to fall flat on her face. “Ah!” she yelled in pain, “Niamh, you b*tch. How dare you…”
She broke out into curses but stopped halfway through her cursing. Then, she displayed an aggrieved, pitiful expression. “Vera, even if you hate your aunt for bullying you that once, you and I bear no grudges. How could you hit me? You even pushed me to the ground so fiercely.”
The sudden change in Yvonne’s behavior reminded Niamh of Nevaeh.
She vaguely noticed something, then heard familiar footsteps behind her.
“Cousin Kendrick, you came just in time. I happened to bump into Vera just now, but she suddenly scolded me and even pushed me to the ground. It hurts, boo-hoo…”
Tsk.
Sure enough, Yvonne’s sudden change in behavior was because Kendrick was here.
This was similar to the two-faced drama that was still fresh in Niamh’s memory.
Nevaeh used to play such tricks repeatedly in front of Kendrick. What made her bitterly disheartened was that Kendrick chose to believe Nevaeh time and time again.
At this moment, Niamh already did not look forward to Kendrick’s opinion.
It did not matter to her whether he believed or not.
“Cousin Kendrick, my foot seems to be twisted. It hurts and I can’t stand up. Can you help me up?” Yvonne stretched out her hand to Kendrick pitifully with expectant eyes.
Just when Niamh thought that Kendrick would definitely help his little cousin up, the man turned a blind eye and walked straight toward Niamh. His low and gravelly voice was soft as he said, “Nia, it’s windy and cold here. Do you want to go upstairs?”
Yvonne’s expression instantly changed. She was a little frustrated. “Cousin Kendrick, this woman and another man teamed up to bring down your career that you had worked so hard to build. She made Aunty so angry till she couldn’t eat and she just pushed me down so viciously. Why do you still care about whether she’s cold?”
Kendrick’s gaze sank a little, a cold light appearing in his eyes. “Don’t perform these cheap two-faced tricks in front of me. Do you think I’ll believe what you said?”
“…” Yvonne’s face reddened awkwardly, but she still wanted to argue. “Cousin Kendrick, what… What I said is true. This woman really pushed me!”
“My wife won’t bother with a person like you. Push you? She only thinks it’ll make her hands dirty.”
When Niamh heard Kendrick calling her his wife, she was a bit surprised, but she did not want to argue with Kendrick at the moment.
“…” Yvonne also did not expect Kendrick to give such an answer. She opened her mouth but was speechless. She then quickly stood up and squeezed out some tears more aggrievedly. “Cousin Kendrick, I didn’t lie. She really pushed me! She’s an evil woman. She always has been!”
Niamh found it meaningless to argue, but she also did not want to let Yvonne slander her. She smiled a little and opened her lips widely. “Yes, I’m an evil woman and also a very scheming woman. That’s why before I had gotten out of the car, I purposely turned on the camera function on my phone. Now, do you want to see who’s trying to push who?”
“…” Yvonne sized up Niamh suspiciously. “You… You recorded it?”
“Why? You don’t believe it? Then I’ll play it for you now to admire your buffoonery just now.” As Niamh said this, she made an action of unlocking her phone.
“You… Who knew you’re so insidious!” Yvonne bit her lip and looked at Kendrick with sparkling eyes. “Cousin Kendrick, Aunty is still waiting for me. I… I’ll go up first!”
Niamh laughed softly upon seeing this. “I didn’t even record anything but your reaction has already told the truth.”
“…” Yvonne did not expect to be set up by Niamh. She had no choice but to hold back the surge of anger and leave resentfully.
Niamh squinted at Yvonne’s frame, feeling ridiculous. She turned to see Kendrick’s deep gaze staring at her closely. There was a bit of interest in his gaze and also a touch of appreciation that was not there before.
“Nia, you really grew up a lot.” He suddenly said this.
Niamh laughed a little and said rather sarcastically, “I am how I am today thanks to you and Nevaeh.”
Speaking of Nevaeh, Kendrick frowned a little. “Did she hurt you just now?”
“After going through your and Nevaeh’s ‘training’, I’m no longer the fool who everyone can bully anymore.” Niamh laughed at herself and saw Kendrick’s face sink slightly. “Where’s Jack?”
“He’s asleep. I want to have him stay here tonight.”
