Chapter 31 – Until You Say Sorry Novel

When Niamh told him about this, he let out a sigh of relief. “I thought something bad happened to you, Niamh. It turns out it’s about this. It’s nothing. You don’t have to put this to heart.”

“It’s not nothing.” Niamh looked at Daniel seriously. “Dan, I don’t know when I’ll be able to pay you back. Thank you so much.”

“No rush. I don’t need the money urgently.”

“I know you don’t, but—”

“If you really want to thank me, Niamh, then you can treat me to a meal. I came here with an empty stomach.” Daniel interrupted Niamh. He looked at her intensely with a gentle gaze. “I’m happy to be able to share your burdens with you.”

Niamh could detect the intimate kind of love between a man and a woman in Daniel’s eyes.

She averted her gaze abruptly and nodded. “Okay.”

Niamh just got out of prison and did not have much money. She was afraid that she would not be able to treat him to one meal.

However, Dan had thought about this and said he wanted to eat taco with hot sauce.

He was the young master of a rich and influential family and yet, he was eating taco with hot sauce on the side of the road. Niamh was feeling apologetic, but Daniel found a place to sit down carefreely.

“You have no idea right, Niamh? I love taco with hot sauce, so I always ordered taco with hot sauce when I was in university.”

Despite Daniel’s explanation, Niamh also knew that the reason he did this was so that she would not break her wallet.

When Niamh thought about this, she felt a surge of warmth in her heart.

She knew it would be much better to owe Daniel than to owe the nightclub. However, she would also owe Daniel a favor.

Niamh watched as Daniel finished eating. She could not eat taco with hot sauce because of her health condition. She was unable to eat anything that might trigger her.

Walking on the streets occupied by neon lights, Daniel sighed lightly. “Do you know, Niamh? When I was in university, I always fantasized about the day I’ll be able to walk next to you on the street. I didn’t expect that dream to finally come true. However, we’re almost in our 30s now.”

Niamh could detect a hint of forlorn in his tone. However, he also sounded happy.

Niamh smiled softly. “Dan, it’s a pleasure meeting you this time, but—”

“Are you willing to be with me, Niamh?” He parted his lips and interrupted Niamh as he stopped walking.

Niamh froze in her tracks. Her heart started beating extremely fast.

“You’ve already divorced Kendrick, right? It seems like he’s about to get married to Nevaeh.”

She thought she had already lost all love and hope for that man, but when she heard about the news of him getting married to Nevaeh, the debilitating pain in her heart reminded her that she was still concerned about him.

However, she was just concerned. It was over between them now.

“Niamh, I’ll wait for you.” Daniel did not pressure Niamh and smiled lightly. When he was trying to hold Niamh’s hands, two rays of strong light shone down on them.

A car stopped before them and an extremely familiar figure got out of the car.

It was Kendrick.

He was looking refined and frigid. When he saw Niamh standing with Daniel, he scoffed.

“Niamh, you’re so cheap. You just got out of prison and you’re flirting with another man behind your husband’s back? If you want to be with this man, why’d you do everything to climb into my bed? Or do you like the excitement of sneaking around?”

Niamh’s face turned white. She was indeed so dirty and battered in his heart.

“Kendrick, put some respect in your words!” Daniel pulled Niamh behind him and the atmosphere between them suddenly became a state of mutual hostility.

Kendrick chuckled lowly. “Respect? You’re in cahoots with a wedded woman in public and you’re still trying to talk to me about respect?

He was using sharp words, showing that he did not even care about Niamh’s feelings.

“When have you treated Niamh as your wife? Plus, she’s not your wife anymore!” Daniel was not afraid of Kendrick. He was facing him head-on.

Kendrick’s face was covered with a layer of cold air. He looked at Niamh with an eerie look in his eyes. “Is this how you seduce a man outside?”

Niamh felt a chill running down her spine. She did not understand the frustration in Kendrick’s eyes.

He reached his hand over and pulled Niamh to his side. His arrogant eyes peered at Daniel. “She’s still my lawfully wedded wife, and even if I’m tired of her one day, I won’t let you have the chance to get my hand-me-downs.”

He humiliated Niamh with the cruelest words he could think of, and after he said that, he pushed Niamh into his car roughly.

Daniel rushed over to stop him when he saw this, but when he saw Niamh stopping him with her eyes, he stood still.

Plus, what Kendrick said just now was lingering in his head. They were still married…

Niamh did not know where Kendrick was taking her. He was driving very fast, causing her to feel dizzy and nauseous.

She remembered what he warned her about and she burst out laughing all of a sudden while she looked at the man who was driving. “You’re going back on your words, Mr. Waldburg. You said a woman like me isn’t worthy of getting in your car. Why are you not afraid of me dirtying it now? I’m filthy, don’t you remember?”

After she said that, Kendrick’s face was extremely dark. He did not say anything, but Niamh could feel the car speed up even more.

The feeling of car sickness became more and more intense. Niamh could not endure it anymore. “Kendrick, stop. Where are you taking me?”

“Do you want to get out and look for Daniel so much?” His tone was icy.

Niamh felt frustrated. “So what? We’re over!”

“Heh.” Kendrick chuckled lowly as if she had just told him a joke. “Niamh, do you think you can start and end a marriage with me any time you want?”

He looked at her with an icy gaze, causing her heart to skip a beat. She did not understand what he was saying.

However, she understood one thing, and it was the fact that Kendrick was going to marry Nevaeh soon. If that was the case, their tomfoolery should end soon.

The car finally came to a stop and Niamh saw that it was a high-end beauty salon.

Kendrick pushed Niamh to the staff and told them to make her look decent.

Niamh did not know what Kendrick wanted to do, but she did not want to cooperate with him.

“If you don’t want the people around you to get involved, then do as I say.” He warned her.

The people around her…

Niamh could only think of Ava.

Her grandfather was dead and he could not threaten her with him anymore.

Ava was the only friend Niamh cared about.

One hour later, Niamh’s makeover was done.

She was wearing a champagne-colored gown that accentuated her curves. Her short hair made her face look even more delicate and dainty. She looked extremely classy.

When Kendrick saw Niamh, his eyes lit up, but it disappeared quickly.

Niamh did not expect Kendrick to bring her to Waldburg Manor.

When they got out of the car, his warm hand reached over and grabbed Niamh’s waist. His palm was in close contact with her skin.

It was fall and the wind was cold. However, Niamh felt that Kendrick’s palm was burning hot.

“Grandpa wants to see you.”
