The air around her body seemed to quiet down suddenly. Niamh wiped away her tears, the look in her eyes becoming calmer all of a sudden.
“Kendrick, if I could do it all over again, I would rather that I never met you.”
After hearing Niamh’s words, Kendrick seemed to come back to his senses. He stared at her with his bottomless eyes.
“Niamh, you have no choice. You’ve become my wife, and you’ll never be able to change this fact in this lifetime.”
Niamh sneered sarcastically, “Oh? Really? Mr. Waldburg, you’re saying that you’ll never divorce me in this lifetime? What about your little miss two-faced? Are you not afraid that she’d be so sad that she’ll try to commit suicide after hearing this?”
Seeing Niamh’s tearful and mocking smile, Kendrick’s thin lips moved. However, in the end, he did not say anything. He merely stepped on the accelerator.
Niamh cried and fell asleep unknowingly. When she woke up, she found herself lying on the bed she used to sleep in.
Kendrick had brought her back to the house she stayed in before. Niamh was a little surprised. The layout and decorations of the place had not changed at all. However, when she thought that maybe Nevaeh would make love to Kendrick in this bed every night, Niamh felt so sick that she started having stomach cramps instantly.
She ran into the bathroom and vomited, but nothing came out.
It was already dark, and she had slept for the whole day.
She did not have anything to eat either.
She lifted her eyes to look at herself in the mirror. Her haggard face and red eyes reminded her of the times she screamed at Kendrick in her most battered state.
At this moment, her phone rang and it was from Daniel.
Niamh hesitated for a moment before picking up. Daniel was very worried about her current situation. Niamh felt warm, but she did not know how to repay Daniel apart from thanking him profusely.
Knock, knock. Niamh’s body shuddered reflexively when she heard a sudden knocking on the door. She hung up the phone after saying goodbye to Daniel.
The door opened, and a middle-aged woman came in. She greeted Niamh respectfully, “Madam, dinner is ready. Do you want to eat now?”
Niamh was a little surprised, but when she recalled the time Kendrick ordered someone to put drugs that would cause her to miscarry into her soup after she fainted, she absolutely refused to eat anything this time.
“I’m not eating. I’m leaving immediately,” she said coldly and got up.
The maid frowned awkwardly. “But Mr. Waldburg said—”
“Mrs. Hughes, where are you? Where the hell are all of you?”
Just as Niamh was about to leave, Nevaeh’s impatient screech came from the stairs.
Mrs. Hughes’ expression changed, and she turned around quickly. She seemed to have suffered a lot from Nevaeh’s wrath. At this moment, Nevaeh had already walked to the door of the room.
“Miss Delgado, why are you here?” Mrs. Hughes said while trembling. At the same time, Niamh was surprised at what she called Nevaeh. She actually felt a little pleased.
Nevaeh had caused so much trouble while she was by Kendrick’s side for so many years, and still, she was just Miss Delgado.
Although Kendrick resented her and treated her badly, she was still Mrs. Waldburg after all.
Niamh smiled when she thought about this.
Nevaeh walked over. When she saw Niamh standing next to the bed while chuckling softly, her face changed drastically as she pointed at Niamh angrily. She cursed, “Niamh? Why are you here, you b*tch? Who let you in?”
Nevaeh pointed at Niamh and yelled at her. She abandoned her usual hypocritical and gentle image.
Mrs. Hughes was not surprised by Nevaeh’s fierceness and viciousness. It was obvious that she had seen Nevaeh’s true face a long time ago.
Niamh originally wanted to leave, but seeing Nevaeh being all flustered and exasperated at this moment, she simply sat on the sofa and parted her lips unhurriedly. “I’m the matriarch of this house, so is it strange that I’m here? What’s weird is why an outsider like you is inside my house?”
“You’re the matriarch of this house?” It was as if Nevaeh had heard a huge joke. “Niamh, did you become stupid while you were in prison? I’m the real matriarch of this house! And you’re just a dog who’s chasing after Kendrick!”
Her words were extremely insulting and slanderous. She looked malicious with her snarling teeth, and she did not have the demeanor of a young lady from a rich family at all.
Niamh chuckled lightly. “If I were a dog, so are you. Don’t forget that I donated my bone marrow to you to save your life. You have my blood coursing through your body.”
Nevaeh’s face suddenly froze as the corners of her mouth twitched. “Niamh, you…” She stared exasperatedly at the innocent Mrs. Hughes. “Do you have Alzheimer’s disease? How dare you let irrelevant people come in? Kick her out immediately. Don’t even think about keeping your job if Kendrick comes back and sees her.”
Niamh looked at Nevaeh in amusement as she was about to explode. Then, she said unhurriedly, “Mrs. Hughes, you tell her who brought me here.”
Although Niamh had fallen asleep from exhaustion after crying just now, she was not stupid. Who else would dare to do this aside from Kendrick?
Mrs. Hughes glanced at Nevaeh fearfully and said, “Yes, Mr. Waldburg was the one who carried the madam back. Plus, Mr. Waldburg also said that she’ll be living here for a while.”
Although the answer was similar to her guess, Niamh was still surprised by Mrs. Hughes’ last sentence.
“What nonsense are you talking about? Why would Kendrick carry this b*tch?”
Niamh was still in surprise when she heard Nevaeh’s shrill retort.
She raised her eyes and saw Nevaeh’s eyes widening in anger. She looked as if she was going to explode on the spot. This instantly made Niamh feel at ease.
“Nevaeh, don’t you think what you’re saying is ridiculous? I’m Kendrick’s lawfully-wedded wife. What’s so weird about a husband carrying his wife? On the contrary, why are you so angry? Were you seriously thinking that you’d be able to go from a mistress to taking my spot as his legally wedded wife in the three years of my absence? You’ll always be a mistress the moment you decided to be a mistress!”
Nevaeh was even more furious after Niamh said this.
She thought that she was better than Niamh in every aspect. The only thing she lost to Niamh was the position of Mrs. Waldburg.
She wanted to kick Niamh from that position and stop people from calling her a mistress.
“What are you looking at? Get out of here!” Nevaeh released her anger on Mrs. Hughes.
Niamh stood up and said, “Mrs. Hughes, I’m hungry. Set the table for me and I’ll go down soon.”
Mrs. Hughes was still feeling miserable that she was unable to avoid this battlefield. Upon hearing Niamh’s words, she nodded and retreated.
Seeing that only she and Niamh were left in the room, Nevaeh was no longer able to hold her hands. She lifted her hand and slapped Niamh across the face.
“You bitch!” she yelled, looking exactly like a shrew.
Niamh already had her defense up against Nevaeh, so she managed to avoid her. Nevaeh swung her hand and only managed to hit the air. Due to excessive force, she almost fell.
When she saw Niamh looking at her carefreely, Nevaeh gritted her teeth.
“Niamh, don’t be so pleased with yourself. Kendrick is only keeping you temporarily for the sake of that old man in his family. Sooner or later, the position of Mrs. Waldburg will be mine!” she said through gritted teeth.
Niamh chuckled. “You said the same things three years ago.”
“…” Nevaeh had finally gotten back some confidence. After Niamh said that though, her face fell again.
“Nevaeh, don’t be so proud of yourself. Those who do bad things will get retribution sooner or later. Just you wait. I’ll avenge my daughter.”
After she said that, Niamh walked away while feeling unaffected.
To be honest, Niamh was still extremely disturbed and uneasy. With her current ability, she could not fight Nevaeh at all.
Furthermore, she could not read Kendrick’s attitude toward her today.
When she was thinking about it, there was a movement from the hallway.
Niamh raised her head just as Kendrick’s noble and elegant body came into her vision.
The rain had not stopped yet, and his usual frigid temperament seemed a little colder because of the rain.
He happened to look over, his eyes meeting Niamh’s. His eyes were too deep. It was as if she would sink deep into his eyes with one more look.
Niamh’s heart jumped inexplicably. When she was about to avoid this gaze, she felt a gust of wind blowing by her side.
