His low and deep voice lingered in her ears, and Niamh’s heart beat faster. However, she would not have the naive expectations that she used to have anymore. Now, her love for Kendrick was overpowered by her hatred toward him.
Niamh did not expect that Old Master Waldburg would not mind that she had been to prison for three years. Instead, he kindly told Niamh to restart her life and live a good life with Kendrick.
The old master was obviously an old-fashioned person. Therefore, it stood to reason that he should be furious and even disgusted by his granddaughter-in-law for having done such a crime. However, at this moment, Niamh was stunned. She felt grateful and warm.
The old master also reminded her of her grandfather who had passed away. They were all such kind- hearted old men.
Niamh ate dinner at Waldburg Manor. She could clearly feel that everyone except for the old master was sneering at her, especially Kendrick’s mother.
After the old master left, Kendrick’s mother showed a look of contempt at Niamh. “If you’re smart, you should take the initiative to propose a non-contentious divorce and not hinder Kendrick and Nevaeh’s wedding.”
She was extremely snobbish and was looking down on Niamh.
“You killed Nevaeh’s child once. If you have a conscience, you should divorce Kendrick immediately.”
Slowly, Niamh understood what was happening. She looked at Kendrick. He sat at one side and did not speak. It was obvious that this was his intention.
She wanted to burst out laughing. After trying to wrap her head around this for so long, she finally realized that they did not dare to disobey the old master, so they wanted her to be the one who proposed the divorce instead.
Then, Nevaeh arrived just in time while holding a little boy whose cheeks were blushing pink.
Niamh’s heart throbbed. Looking at the boy’s pink and tender face, she thought of her precious daughter who had died tragically.
She looked at the child who was standing next to Nevaeh and her heart felt as if it was being stabbed by a knife.
If her child had not died, she would be at his age now.
Suddenly, there was a strong reluctance in her heart.
Seeing Nevaeh’s triumphant face, Niamh smiled deeply. “Why should I take the initiative to file for divorce?”
When she asked this question, the smile on Nevaeh’s face disappeared.
Kendrick’s reaction was surprisingly calm. He glanced at Niamh with interest and said nothing.
Niamh was a little uncomfortable with how he looked at her. “Kendrick, I won’t divorce you. Otherwise, how would I be worthy of all the things I did to get on your bed?”
She said this deliberately just to disgust Nevaeh and the people who could not wait to see Kendrick dump her.
“Niamh! How can you be so cheap? Don’t be so shameless!” Kendrick’s mother said angrily.
Niamh did not care. She watched as Nevaeh’s eyes became darker.
Nevaeh was obviously very upset, but she could not do anything. She said innocently and softly to Niamh, “Niamh, I’m sorry, it’s all my fault. Kendrick and you have lawfully wedded after all. I’m the superfluous one.”
“If you know that you’re superfluous, why don’t you go away? Are you proud of seducing a married man?” Niamh did not go easy on Nevaeh at all.
Nevaeh was stunned and had an awkward expression on her face. A few seconds later, she ran out while covering her face aggrievedly.
“Mommy.” Seeing Nevaeh’s departure, the child waddled adorably after her.
Niamh was tired of watching Nevaeh putting on a show, but unfortunately, it still worked on these people.
Kendrick looked at Niamh with a dark expression before turning around to chase after Nevaeh. Kendrick’s mother also walked away while grumbling.
Niamh left, but she did not expect to see Nevaeh and Kendrick’s child as soon as she went out.
Looking at his delicate and angelic face, Niamh was heartbroken.
Why should her baby be cruelly burnt to ashes while Nevaeh’s son was so favored by everyone?
How unfair!
Niamh clenched her fists and was unable to control the flames of hatred in her heart.
She walked forward and went straight to the child.
The little guy turned around as he probably heard the sound of footsteps approaching. His cute and blank face was facing Niamh now. His bright and clear eyes were like glazed tiles as they blinked and stared at Niamh.
The spark of hatred in Niamh’s heart seemed to be extinguished in an instant. Then, it was replaced by unspeakable love and kindness.
Tears stung the corner of her eyes and she suddenly had an urge to cry.
‘If my baby’s still here, she would be as cute as him too.’
After all, Kendrick was so outstanding. His offspring who inherited his genes would surely be as good- looking.
Niamh bent over and stroked his delicate, cute face. “What’s your name, honey?”
The little guy blinked and said adorably, “My mommy and daddy call me Jack.”
‘Mommy and daddy’.
Those words hurt Niamh.
Her baby should have her mommy and daddy as well, but now…
“Niamh, what are you trying to do again? You can do anything to me but please don’t hurt my and Kendrick’s son!”
Nevaeh’s screaming sounded unusually exaggerated. In addition to that, she especially emphasized that this was her and Kendrick’s son.
Niamh had never thought about doing anything to this innocent child. When she heard what Nevaeh screamed, she wanted to laugh.
Maybe she should really learn some lessons on how to be cruel from this woman.
“Mommy.” The little guy ran over immediately.
Nevaeh lifted Jack with a worried look, then she inspected him nervously. “Let Mommy see if you’re injured.”
Niamh chuckled softly. “Nevaeh, your acting skills are really getting better and better.”
“Niamh, why are you so cruel?” Nevaeh looked at Niamh grievously. “Three years ago, you stole my boyfriend and killed my first child with Kendrick. Why do you still want to hurt my son three years later? Although we’re not biological sisters, I’ve always treated you well.”
Seeing Nevaeh’s hypocritical performance, Niamh sneered after listening indifferently, “You really do treat me well, so I’ll definitely repay you, my good sister.”
“…” Nevaeh was stunned when she heard those words. She was speechless for a while.
Niamh was quite pleased when she saw Nevaeh’s bewilderment and puzzlement.
Not wanting to waste any more time talking to her, Niamh was about to leave when she saw Kendrick walking over.
Under the moonlight, his cold air of asceticism was even more charming than it was three years ago.
Niamh’s heart beat faster, but she would never have any expectations or fantasies about this man again.
She glanced at him indifferently and passed by him without stopping.
Kendrick frowned and reached out to grab Niamh’s arm.
“Where are you going, Mrs. Waldburg?” He parted his lips, his tone filled with puzzlement.
Niamh stopped and noticed Nevaeh’s face turning darker and darker from the corner of her eye. She pursed her pink lips and smiled at Kendrick.
“What do you think, darling? It’s already so late. Of course, I’m going home.”
Niamh smiled pretentiously, and then she saw a subtle glint in Kendrick’s eyes. The man let go of her hand when she was not sure what it was.
