Chapter 79 – Until You Say Sorry Novel

Kendrick flipped through the documents quickly, and the information on them was simple.

Vera Quinn was from F Country. She grew up in F Country and had never come to Glendale before. She studied psychology in university and had lots of interests. There was close to zero information about her social life.

It just stated that she had a very close male friend.

Her boyfriend.

Kendrick felt a thorn in his heart. When he first met her in KFC, he remembered she was wearing a ring on her ring finger.

Was she engaged?

Kendrick lit a cigarette and white smoke escaped from his lips. The smoke then blurred his expression.

While looking at this photo, his mind started to wander.

After a short while, Kendrick started to put his attention on Ava.

Back then, Ava was the one who brought Niamh’s body to the funeral parlor. When he got there, she was the one who walked out with the urn.

He never suspected whether it was Niamh’s ashes or not.

However, now…

Kendrick went to Ava’s office and followed her for the entire day. He also hired someone to track Ava’s calls for the past few days but found nothing suspicious.

Ava was Niamh’s best friend. If she was still alive, it was impossible for her not to contact Ava.

Although, she could intentionally choose not to contact Ava so that he would not be suspicious.

If he was able to do a DNA test on the ashes, he would have done it.

Unfortunately, he could not.

…

Niamh woke up early and braided her daughter’s hair. Then, she sent the little girl to kindergarten.

When she was about to leave, Niamh turned around and her attention was attracted by a little boy who was talking toward the entrance.

Niamh could tell immediately that it was Jackson.

Since it had been three years, he would be five years old now. His young and childish face changed a lot. He looked more handsome now and his eyes looked similar to Kendrick’s.

This was Kendrick and Nevaeh’s child. Niamh knew she did not hate or resent Jackson, but every time she saw him, she would recall her child who had died tragically.

Niamh pursed her lips as the fire of resentment rose in her heart uncontrollably.

At this moment, Jackson spotted Niamh.

There was shock on his cute face. “Niamh,” he called out to Niamh.

Niamh unclenched her fists in secret and smiled gently at Jackson.

“Are you calling me, little boy?”

Jackson was curious about Niamh’s question. His long and thin eyes looked at Niamh up and down in puzzlement. Then, he averted his gaze quickly. “I’m sorry, I got the wrong person.” After he said that, he walked to the front door.

“Jackson.” At this moment, Kendrick’s voice sounded from not far away.

Niamh stopped in her tracks. She turned around to look at him.

Kendrick was walking over with a frigid and elegant aura surrounding him.

It was a beautiful sunny day, but when she looked into Kendrick’s eyes, she felt that it was abnormally glaring.

Kendrick looked at Niamh thought-provokingly. Then, he walked to Jackson and handed him his lunchbox.

Jackson took the lunchbox before leaving. The father and son did not say anything to each other, looking more like strangers instead.

Kendrick was already quite used to meeting her this way. He raised his eyebrows, gazing deeply at Niamh’s unblemished, picturesque face.

He obviously did not forget that there used to be two deep wounds on the right side of Niamh’s face. Those wounds never really healed, up until the day she stopped breathing.

However, the face in front of him had a flawless smile, and her skin was completely smooth. In short, she was stunning.

“Miss Vera, our fates seem quite intertwined,” Kendrick said in a casual tone.

Niamh looked at the man in front of her and let out a vibrant smile. “It seems like Mr. Waldburg is quite sober today. You’re no longer mistaking me for your dead ex-wife.”

Kendrick furrowed his eyebrows, looking quite dissatisfied.

However, he did not voice it out and instead continued smiling as he said, “I wonder if I can have the honor of treating you to dinner?”

Niamh knitted her eyebrows together. “Dinner might not be possible, but I’m free for lunch today.”

Kendrick was very happy at Niamh’s agreement.

However, the happiness lasted for only two seconds before his heart started to ache.

He suddenly thought of Niamh.

He recalled the days when they were married, how she would prepare his meals every day, waiting for him to get home. However, he never once treated her well.

Now, he was trying to use this woman who looked exactly like Niamh to regain the happiness and love that used to be his.

Niamh went back to the store, checking on the renovations as she prepared for the grand opening.

Before it even struck 11, Kendrick arrived.

Kendrick had changed his car. He was currently driving a white limited edition sports car.

As he stopped in front of the shop, he drew quite a lot of attention. The attention was all focused on Kendrick when he got out of the car.

He was a young man in his prime, coupled with Kendrick’s flawless looks, he was the dream guy in every woman’s heart.

He opened the door for Niamh in a gentlemanly manner before leaving.

As Niamh sat on the passenger seat, she could not help but mock him in her heart. She had loved him so much before and even married him. However, he hated her and thought she was filthy. He never even let her touch his car, let alone sit on the passenger seat.

However, he now invited a woman he only knew for more than a day to sit in his car.

It was obvious to her how low her position in his heart was back then.

Kendrick brought Niamh to the restaurant in the middle of the city. Niamh remembered this restaurant very clearly.

They even sat in the exact spot next to the window. Even though they had changed since then, she never forgot the humiliation she suffered at his hands.

Kendrick ordered a few dishes, and Niamh remembered that they were pretty much the same as what was ordered that day. Even the drinks were the same.

‘So, he still thinks I’m his despicable dead ex-wife? Did he invite me for a meal just to investigate?’

“Miss Vera, it’s your first time in the city, and you probably don’t know much about our local specialties. I’ve specifically ordered these dishes for you. They’re all signature dishes of the restaurant. Please have a try.”

“Thank you, Mr. Waldburg, but I’m quite partial to grapes, and the best drink to pair with steak is wine. Do you mind ordering a bottle of wine for me?”

Kendrick paused for a second before shooting her a seductive smile. “Of course.”

Nevaeh had felt that something was off since last night. She kept feeling like Kendrick seemed to be interested in the woman who stole the store from him.

She got someone to follow Kendrick at the start of the day, and she received a slew of photos of Kendrick together with another person thanks to that.

The photos were taken outside of Kendrick’s view, and they had to be sneakily taken, so they were not very clear. However, there was the obvious silhouette of a woman. It was just that the woman’s face could not be seen.

“Seductress!” Nevaeh exploded in anger.

The moment she knew Kendrick brought that woman to the restaurant, Nevaeh immediately grabbed her bag and rushed over there.

When Nevaeh reached the place, she immediately saw Kendrick sitting next to the window. Even if she had only seen his back, Nevaeh would never mistaken him for anyone else.

However, Nevaeh did not see another woman sitting in front of Kendrick. After thinking about it, she figured that the woman could have just gone to the washroom. Nevaeh did not bother greeting Kendrick and headed straight to the washroom instead.

Looking around, she failed to find anyone who was wearing the same outfit as the woman in the picture she saw.

Nevaeh cursed in her heart before tidying her appearance and putting on her best smile to go look for Kendrick. However, the moment she headed over, she noticed that Kendrick had disappeared as well.

She hurried down the elevator but only managed to see Kendrick’s white-colored sports car speeding away in front of her, and in the passenger seat was a woman.

Nevaeh gritted her teeth in anger, immediately calling Kendrick. The phone call went through, but no one answered.
