“Okay.” Felicity smiled. After seeing Kendrick entering the house, she took out a few coupons to a high- end spa. “Aunty, our first meeting is a little sudden. I don’t have a gift prepared, so I hope you’ll like these.”
Karen was initially a little repulsed because of Felicity’s appearance, but when she saw the gifts, she immediately smiled.
She had not been to a high-end spa in a long time.
After Niamh walked out of the villa, she sat in the car and did not leave.
She thought that she would look for Kendrick again after Karen and Felicity left, but now she saw Kendrick and Felicity coming out one after another.
Seeing that Kendrick was about to get in the car and leave, Niamh decisively got out of her car and walked toward him. “Mr. Waldburg.”
When Kendrick suddenly heard Niamh’s pleasant voice, he realized that what he heard earlier was not an illusion.
“Nia?” He called out the name almost reflexively, but then changed his words and calmed his tone. “Miss Montgomery, were you looking for me?”
Niamh walked up to him. Her tone was amused. “Can’t I look for my ex-husband?”
“…”
“Kendrick, I need to talk to you.”
Niamh’s tone suddenly became serious.
Kendrick seemed surprised, but the darkness in front of him prevented him from capturing Niamh’s expression at that moment. He could not even guess why Niamh was looking for him.
“My car is just at the front. Kendrick, let’s find a place to sit down and talk.”
Her proactive invitation made Kendrick’s heart beat faster.
However, he smiled and refused. “No, Miss Montgomery. I have something else to do.”
Niamh glanced at Felicity who was waiting at the side. “It’s alright. You can go out with your girlfriend first. We’ll make an appointment again.”
Girlfriend?
Kendrick then came to understand. He felt a pain in his heart.
‘Kendrick, why are you disappointed?
‘Didn’t you want her to misunderstand?’
He mocked himself silently but still gave Niamh a warm smile. “Please help yourself, Miss Montgomery.”
He got into Felicity’s car after he said that. He had behaved nonchalantly from beginning till the end, but only he knew how much he cared. He cared about every word Niamh said and every breath she took.
Felicity curled her red lips and smiled. She glanced over at Niamh before driving away.
The look in her eyes made Niamh feel that it was particularly familiar.
This feeling made Niamh uncomfortable.
Seeing Felicity and Kendrick driving away, Niamh subconsciously followed them.
She did not expect that Felicity would bring Kendrick to a hotel to get a room.
‘So Kendrick, it seems you’re already starting a new relationship to let go of me completely, right?’
Niamh gripped the steering wheel tightly. She did not know what she was doing. Was she concerned that the reason Kendrick lost his sight was because of her?
Niamh could not figure it out and silently opened the backed-up document in her phone which she had copied from the computer. There were thousands of text files in it. It was Kendrick’s diary after her death.
She read the notes word for word, imagining Kendrick’s heartache and regret over her departure during those thousand days and nights.
After an hour, Niamh saw Kendrick coming out of the hotel, followed by Felicity. However, the distance between the two of them was not like a couple’s.
Kendrick had issues with his eyesight, but Felicity was not helping him.
He fumbled to the side of the street alone, got in a car, and left.
Although the sky was dark, Niamh clearly captured the unhappy look on Felicity’s face.
Niamh felt as if she had seen this dissatisfied look before.
However, Niamh did not think too much of it. She quickly followed the taxi that Kendrick had gotten on.
Unexpectedly, she followed the taxi to the beach of April Hill.
There was no one at the beachside at this time and season.
Kendrick sat alone on the bench by the sea for half an hour.
The taxi was also waiting by the side. It could be assumed that Kendrick had paid and booked it.
However, the driver seemed to be a little bored while waiting. He was holding a pack of cigarettes and smoking while walking forward.
Seeing this, Niamh opened the car door and moved a little closer to Kendrick.
In the dark blue night, Kendrick was like an intricate and elegant ancient Greek statue that was sitting motionlessly in the wind.
If it were not for him gently turning the ring on his finger all the time, Niamh would have thought that he was paralyzed.
However, there was a sudden drizzle and Niamh thought for a moment before starting to walk toward Kendrick.
Just as she stepped forward, three rakish thugs rushed up from behind and surrounded Niamh.
“Hey, since when was there a beauty around here?”
“Tsk tsk, how pretty.”
“Hey beautiful, why don’t you play with the three of us? We won’t treat you badly.”
The hooligans said frivolous things while eyeing lecherously at Niamh’s face and body.
Niamh swept her glance at the three men in disgust. Her gaze was sharp and cold. “Get out of the way.”
The beach was vast and empty. Kendrick, who had been sitting still, unexpectedly heard Niamh’s voice.
He turned his face to listen carefully, but he heard the vulgar voices of several men instead.
“What an attitude!”
“We happen to like this kind of beauty with an attitude!”
“Come on, we’ll make you very happy!”
Niamh cast a cold gaze. “Don’t touch me. Go away.”
However, the more Niamh resisted, the more excited the three drunken men became.
“Nia?” Kendrick was now certain that it was really Niamh’s voice.
He did not expect that Niamh would be nearby and that three rascals were now harassing her.
His gaze sank as he got up hurriedly. He was running toward the source of the sound in strides.
The three men had already begun to grope at Niamh’s hands and feet. Niamh used the self- defense methods that she learned to bring down one of the hooligans.
When the other two saw Niamh’s self-defense skills, they were even more cheerfully arrogant.
“Brothers, this woman is very interesting. We’re not men if we can’t deal with this beauty tonight. Come on! Let’s get her!”
The three thugs pounced on Niamh together. She immediately reached out to block them but was grabbed on the arm instead.
“Let go!” She struggled, raising her elbow to hit the man’s chest. Without showing any weakness, she gave a kick to another thug who came close to her.
However, there was a natural disparity between the strength of men and women. Niamh’s arms were still held down.
Two men held each side of her arm while the third man grinned and walked toward Niamh with a wicked smile.
“Tsk, beautiful, you can’t move now, right? Then you shall now see how powerful the three of us are!”
Rip!
That person tore off Niamh’s coat roughly. Seeing Niamh’s exposed skin under the streetlamp, the three of their eyes lit up as they got excited.
Just when that person wanted to violate her further, Kendrick kicked away the man who wanted to be frivolous with Niamh like a blast of wind.
“Ow!” That thug suddenly fell to the ground and wailed.
“Nia?” He looked for Niamh’s direction in concern.
