Chapter 50 – Until You Say Sorry Novel

“Actually, I’m only older than Kendrick by three years. I don’t like being called uncle, so you can just call me by my name.”

Niamh was taken aback. Then, she nodded. “Then I’ll get back to work, Mr. Waldburg.”

Felipe looked at Niamh and smiled. “Go on.”

…

Niamh focused on her work. She could only forget about the things and people that made her unhappy this way.

Their one-month long project was already halfway done. Niamh was pretty happy with the part that she was responsible for.

According to the client’s orders, after Niamh finished with her design, she used her company email to send it to Elizabeth who was on a business trip. After that, she took her purse before going to the cafeteria.

When she was in the lift, she ran into Felipe coincidentally. When he saw her with her purse, he smiled and invited her. “I’m going for lunch as well. Why don’t you join me?”

There were other employees in the lift. They were all looking at Niamh with weird gazes. This made Niamh unsure of what she should do.

“Are you going to let me down, niece-in-law?” Felipe tried to ease the awkwardness with a mischievous tone.

Niamh displayed a forced smile on her face. “Thanks in advance, Mr. Waldburg.”

She followed Felipe out of the lift. However, she could still feel the criticizing gaze behind her.

Niamh had never been to restaurants with five stars and above. She sat down after Felipe did while feeling ill at ease.

They were sitting near the window and they were able to see every corner of the busy street.

Niamh did not know what to eat, so she let Felipe decide for her. After a while, their food arrived. They looked and smelled delicious.

“Eat more. You’re too thin,” Felipe said gently.

“Alright, I will. Thank you, Mr. Waldburg.” Niamh lowered her head. She was still not used to such a high-end restaurant.

Felipe could tell that she was uneasy. “Did Kendrick never bring you here? He’s an honorary member here.”

Niamh froze after she picked up her fork and knife. She shook her head and smiled. “He never ate with me alone.”

Felipe was surprised. When he was about to say something, two figures stopped next to them. It was Kendrick and Nevaeh.

When Niamh saw Nevaeh holding Kendrick’s arm and how intimate they were, she felt the juice in her mouth turning bitter.

She looked at Kendrick and she noticed that he was looking at her. However, his gaze was piercing and it felt like they were about to penetrate her.

At this moment, Nevaeh displayed an apologetic and warm smile at Felipe. “I’m sorry, uncle. I lost my cool that day. However, I was forced by Niamh. She had a history of plagiarizing and she even killed our child. So that’s why I did what I did that day. I didn’t think I’d hurt you by accident.”

She found an excuse for her true self that got exposed and pushed all the blame and mistakes to Niamh.

Felipe looked at Nevaeh indifferently. “Seeing is believing. I’ve seen those accusations you said about Niamh, but I did see you bullying my employee in front of my company like a shrew. Plus, you even assaulted her.”

“…” Nevaeh’s forced smile looked a little awkward. “Uncle…”

“I’m not your uncle. Don’t call me that.”

“…” Nevaeh deflated once again. She got near to Kendrick aggrievedly. “Kendrick…”

“Didn’t you say you’re hungry? Let’s eat before we talk,” Kendrick said softly to Nevaeh. Then, he lifted his head to look at Felipe. “Uncle, do you mind us sitting here?”

Kendrick said as he sat down. Nevaeh tugged at him pretentiously.

“Kendrick, I don’t think this is a good idea. Niamh doesn’t look too pleased.”

Niamh wanted so badly to throw her glass of juice on Nevaeh’s face. She wanted to ask her which one of her f*cking eyes saw that she was not pleased about this?

Amid the silence, Niamh heard Kendrick saying calmly, “Who is she to deny us?”

Hehe.

Yeah, who is she?

She had always been nothing to him.

When Nevaeh saw that Niamh did not dare to say anything, she was extremely pleased.

She put down her purse and sat down next to Niamh. However, she did not expect Kendrick to sit down next to Niamh.

Nevaeh was taken aback, on the other hand, Niamh was surprised as well.

However, based on their identities, there was nothing wrong with Kendrick sitting next to her.

Despite feeling unhappy about this, Nevaeh did not dare to make a fuss. So, she could only sit next to Felipe.

After she sat down, Nevaeh felt that this was rather nice. After all, Felipe was handsome and he had an exceptional demeanor.

Kendrick’s food arrived in a blink of an eye. They were all Nevaeh’s favorite food. When Niamh saw them, she lost her appetite.

She knew she told herself to not care about this, but her fragile heart kept getting bloody and bruised.

At this moment, Kendrick placed a spicy dish in front of Niamh. It was as if he was purposely going against her. “I ordered this especially for you.”

“…” Niamh lifted her head in confusion.

Kendrick was smirking. “Don’t you like spicy food? Especially tacos with hot sauce.”

“…” Niamh was suddenly amused. He still remembered her eating a taco with hot sauce with Daniel on the side of the road. This had even become the thing that he would bring this up occasionally to strike her down and humiliate her.

“Niamh, Kendrick ordered this just for you. You have to eat more.” Nevaeh added just in time.

Niamh looked at her with an amused look on her face. “How could I possibly have the appetite to eat this in front of a mistress?”

Nevaeh’s face changed and it became extremely dark. Kendrick stopped eating as well. “Niamh, are you trying to make something out of nothing?”

“How would I dare?” Niamh smiled briefly at Kendrick. “It’s so rare for you to sit down and eat with me, darling. I don’t even have time to be happy about this.”

Kendrick’s piercing gaze landed on Niamh while he had a fake smile on his face. “If you’re happy, then you should eat more.”

“Thank you for your kindness, darling, but I’m already full.” Niamh looked at the man opposite her. “Mr. Waldburg, I should go back to the office now. Thank you for lunch.”

Felipe nodded. “Okay.”

Niamh got up to leave, however, she was sitting next to the window and the aisle was next to Kendrick.

Her heart started beating erratically. “Mr. Waldburg, please move out of the way.”

It was as if Kendrick did not hear her. He did not react.

Niamh asked again while feeling slightly embarrassed. “Mr. Waldburg, please let me through.”

When she saw that Kendrick was not moving, Nevaeh was extremely pleased. She loved when Kendrick forced Niamh into awkward and impossible situations.

“Kendrick Waldburg, please get out of the way.” Niamh used ‘please’ for the third time. Her face was slightly red.

Kendrick finally lifted his head to look at her frantic eyes. “Are you talking to me? I thought you’re talking to that Mr. Waldburg.”

Niamh looked at the unbelievable man in front of her. Finally, he got up lazily.

Niamh felt her racing heart calm immediately and the heat leave, her blood cold in her veins.
