Chapter 6 – Until You Say Sorry Novel

His comeback was unfathomable. It was so straightforward it stabbed Niamh’s heart like a sharp sword.

So. to him, the truth was not important. The important thing was that he loved Nevaeh and that fact trumped everything.

She felt her heart sink like a rock. It was as if she had lost all hope and could only yearn for this man.

Niamh smiled lamentably and said. “Alright. I’ll apologize.”

She endured the debilitating pain in her body and bowed her head to apologize to Nevaeh.

She saw Nevaeh smirking in secret. That victorious smile was extremely dazzling to her.

She had never thought that Kendrick would ignore the truth for Nevaeh. The only reason was that he loved her. He loved her so much.

In the days that followed. Niamh never saw Kendrick again.

She wanted to find a job to lift her spirits: she did not want to torture herself merely because

Kendrick did not love her anymore.

Niamh had studied jewelry design and graduated with flying colors. She sent out her resume online, and after a while, two companies invited her for interviews. After comparing the two companies.

Niamh chose the company that was closer to home.

She thought she could use th work to distract herself. but she still could not help but think about Kendrick.

Despite how much he resented and despised her.

The early autumn nights were a little chilly, so the employees in the company had already clocked off work. On the other hand, Niamh had stayed back in the office alone to finish up her work.

If she went home, she would still be all alone. Hence. she would rather stay there and numb herself with work.

It was almost ten and Niamh was feeling a little hungry.

She touched her stomach and remembered that she was housing a child in her womb. All of a sudden. she felt warm and satisfied.

When she was about to leave. her phone’s custom ringtone rang.

Niamh’s heart skipped a beat. and she grabbed her phone frantically.

The name on the caller ID looked surreal.

Kendrick was calling her voluntarily. After Niamh hesitated for a while, she answered the call happily.

“Kendrick…”

“Ah… Yeah. Kendrick, you’re so amazing. I love you…”

The moans of a woman were heard from the other side of the phone. It penetrated

Niamh’s ears and was followed by the low groan of a man.

Niamh held the phone in her hand while she felt as if her heart had plummeted from heaven to hell. An uncontrollable pang of pain attacked her heart instantly.

She quickly hung up the phone. wanting to wipe those voices from her memory. However. tears had already started escaping her eyes uncontrollably.

She dragged her tired body back home and took out a bottle of red wine from Kendrick’s liquor cabinet.

After a few gulps. Niamh finally did away with this method of torture. She could not let the baby in her stomach suffer with her.

However, Niamh still got drunk in the end. In her drowsy state, she saw the man she had loved for 12 years walk toward her.

He was tall and super good-looking. His temperament and looks were incredibly outstanding. This was the man that she yearned day and night for. This was the man that she loved but could not get.

Niamh threw away her glass and stumbled toward Kendrick. She circled her arms around his neck and lifted her red. drunk face to look at him.

“Kendrick. I won’t allow you to be entangled with other women. If you need anything. you can come to me. I°m your wife!”

She was about to go all out. She was saying something lowly that she had never said before.

Niamh loved him. She loved him to the bone. She could throw away all dignity and arrogance for him.

Kendrick was frustrated and pushed her away in disgust.

Nonetheless, Niamh was like toffee. She threw herself at him again and even began trying to remove his clothes. Next. she tiptoed and tried to kiss him.

She smelled the pungent smell of perfume on him. It was the perfume that Nevaeh used.

Nevertheless, she forced herself to ignore the smell and continued to behave in a wanton manner.

Perhaps this was the last chance for her to get some affection from him. She was willing to become the cheapest and most shameless woman he had ever seen. She only wanted to save some beautiful memories before she left…

If the alarm clock had not rung the next morning. Niamh would not have been able to wake up.

Her face burned up when she recalled what she had said and done to Kendrick in her drunken state.

Back in the office, Niamh could be seen working on her designs absentmindedly. She could not get rid of Kendrick’s shadow in her head.

It had been 12 years. It would be impossible for her to let go of this profound love in just one day.

She touched her flat stomach absentmindedly. If possible. she wanted to give the child the perfect family.

“Ding!”

Suddenly. a notification from her phone snagged her back to reality.

She glanced at it and saw that it was a text message. It was from Kendrick!

Niamh’s heart started beating unrhythmically. Her hands even started to tremble as she opened the message.

The first thing Niamh saw was a photo. It was a photo of Niamh and Nevaeh. They had taken this picture when she was adopted by the Delgados.

In the photo, Nevaeh was wearing an expensive dress. The light was shining down on her beaming face. and she was like an untouched princess. She looked so elegant and exceptional. On the other hand, Niamh was wearing a greyish white dress. She looked as lowly as an ugly duckling in a dark corner.

Below the photo was Kendrick’s message. When she saw the contents of it. the temperature of her fingertips plummeted.

‘Niamh. look at Nevaeh and then look at yourself. How will a filthy and lowly woman like you ever meet the qualifications of being my wife?’

The words stabbed her eyes like a knife made from ice. They were so heart-wrenching and unpleasant to the eye.

She recalled the summer 12 years ago. She could not handle the cruelness and resentment

Kendrick had for her now.

‘Kendrick, you once said that I was the kindest and cutest girl you’ve ever seen. You said that you’d take me as your bride so that you could be with me forever. But what’s going on now?”
