Chapter 78 – Until You Say Sorry Novel

The word she uttered so softly lingered in his ear. However, it landed heavily on Kendrick’s heart.

When Kendrick saw this stunning face in front of him, he felt as if he had turned into a sculpture. In that split second, he lost all of his senses and consciousness.

He even felt that he might be dreaming.

The beautiful face in front of him was so glaring.

It was so painful!

‘Niamh!’

He could not control himself from screaming out her name in his heart.

His heart that had fallen into a deep slumber for the past three years was abruptly woken up.

Niamh smiled lightly when she saw Kendrick’s reaction.

‘Are you surprised, Kendrick?

‘The ex-wife you despise isn’t dead yet.

‘However, I’m not that Niamh Delgado who loved you so much that she abandoned all self-respect, self-love, and even herself.’

“I’m sorry, Mr. Waldburg. I still have some things to take care of, so I’ll get going now.” Niamh retracted her hand and walked past Kendrick elegantly and calmly.

When the warmth was removed from his hand, Kendrick jolted back to his senses.

An extraordinary fragrance invaded his nostrils as he turned around to see Niamh walking toward the side door.

Kendrick did not hesitate and turned around to follow her.

Everyone below the stage was looking at each other after they saw this happening in front of their eyes.

Even though there were people in the crowd who had seen Niamh before, three years was a long time, so no one had any impression of her anymore.

They just thought that this face looked nice and yet, so familiar.

The multi-colored neon lights intertwined with each other in the city at night.

Niamh walked out of the door, but before she could go far, she saw Kendrick from the side mirror of the car that was parked on the side of the road.

His expression was grim, looking so intense that no one could tell what he was thinking about.

“Niamh!” She heard him calling out her name.

Niamh smiled in secret and continued walking forward, unperturbed. She looked into the side mirror of the car with the corner of her eyes and saw Kendrick chasing after her.

When he was behind her, he reached out his hand to grab her wrist.

“Niamh!” he called out again, his voice sounding astonished.

Niamh stopped. She displayed a look of innocence and shock as she blinked slowly. “Mr. Waldburg, why are you following me? Why are you holding my wrist?”

Kendrick’s deep eyes were staring into Niamh’s dazed eyes. The night cast a shadow on his features, making them look even more abstruse.

“Niamh, you’re not dead!” he exclaimed as he held Niamh’s wrist tighter.

It was as if Niamh would disappear if he let go of her.

He would not allow her to disappear from his world again.

Niamh looked at Kendrick in confusion. “Mr. Waldburg, I don’t know what you’re talking about. My name isn’t Niamh, it’s Vera Quinn.”

Kendrick’s eyes became darker after he heard that. “You are! You are Niamh!”

He stared into her eyes. Even though this face was a clone, he believed there would be no other eyes that looked like those in this world.

Niamh stayed silent for a few seconds after hearing that. Then, she smiled and said, “I heard that Niamh was Mr. Waldburg’s cruel and despicable ex-wife. Do I look like her? Did you chase after me because you think your hateful ex-wife has come back to life?”

When he heard Niamh’s words, Kendrick’s face went cold.

He pressed his thin lips tightly together and grabbed Niamh’s chin all of a sudden.

Niamh did not expect him to do this. However, she managed to quickly dodge away. “Mr. Witman, you have a fiancée. Please have some respect for yourself.” She reminded him.

However, Kendrick’s face was icy as he stared piercingly at Niamh. “You say you’re not her, but do you have the guts to show me your left chest area?”

He would never forget the mole on Niamh’s left chest. It was extremely glaring on her fair and smooth skin.

After he said that, Niamh’s face fell.

“Mr. Waldburg, are you joking? Do you think I’ll let you see that part of my body? Please let go of me.”

He stared at the beautiful eyes in front of him. “Are you feeling guilty? Is that why you won’t show me? Niamh, why aren’t you dead yet?”

‘Why didn’t you come back to me if you’re alive and well?’

‘Why am I not dead yet?

‘Am I such an obstacle in your life just because I’m alive? Do you want me to die again so badly?’

After he said that, Niamh smiled. “Mr. Waldburg, you’re hilarious. I told you my name is Vera Quinn. I’m not your ex-wife, Niamh Delgado. If you don’t let me go, I’ll call the cops.”

At this moment, a car stopped next to Niamh. The window of the car was rolled down and a woman’s voice called out to her.

“Vera, I heard you won the auction and you’re now the owner of the shop. Let’s go have a few drinks to celebrate! Who’s that? Why is he holding your hand?”

Kendrick felt that this questioning voice sounded extremely annoying. Then, he heard Niamh introducing him calmly. “This is the young master from the most influential family in Glendale. He’s also the president of Delgado Corporation, Mr. Kendrick Waldburg.”

“Oh, it’s him. Why is he holding your hand?”

Niamh chuckled lightly. “He says I look like his dead ex-wife.”

“Pah! There are so many similar-looking people in this world and you look like someone who died? Say, Mr. Waldburg, is this a trick to get to know Vera? I’ve seen all kinds of cheap tricks, but there are too many men out there who want to get to know our Vera. If you’re interested, you can get in line.”

Kendrick’s face became icier when he heard that. His bottomless eyes were still glued on Niamh.

Niamh used this chance to retract her hand. Then, she got into the car.

In an instant, Kendrick felt an emptiness in his hand. At the same time, he felt his heart getting empty as well.

“I’ll see you when I see you, Mr. Waldburg.”

Niamh sat in the car and smiled at Kendrick. Then, the window was rolled up slowly.

The car drove further away. Niamh looked at the tiny figure in the rearview mirror and lifted her hand to tidy the hair on her forehead.

Kendrick stood in place as the darkness of the night blurred his vision.

They had the same face, but she said she was not her.

Kendrick frowned.

His heart started beating normally again.

Indeed, she was not.

Niamh would not have that sharp and mature gaze. Plus, she would also not have such a thought- provoking smile.

She had always been simple, and she simply loved him for so many years.

Kendrick’s heart sank once again.

Nevaeh had looked all over for Kendrick before she finally found him. “Kendrick, why are you here? The woman just now…”

Kendrick ignored Nevaeh and just went straight home.

On the way, he contacted his trusted assistant, Ken Baker. “Investigate a woman named Vera Quinn for me. I need the information tomorrow morning.”

On this night, Kendrick tossed and turned in bed. In the end, he could only fall asleep with the special aromatherapy kit.

The next morning, he sped to the office. Ken followed behind him and handed him the information he got. When Ken looked at the photo of the woman, his expression was abnormal.

“Mr. Waldburg, isn’t this Niamh, your ex-wife who has been dead for three years?”

After Kendrick heard that, his hands froze as they were trying to flip open the documents. “You’re dismissed.”

Ken did not ask much before leaving.
