It was because Lilian really was alive.
Her daughter with Kendrick was not dead.
Felipe walked away when they were in the VIP lounge. There were two bodyguards supervising the video call between Niamh and Lilian.
Meanwhile, Kendrick had found out that Niamh was about to board the plane and leave that day, so he hurried to her along with Jackson.
When he arrived not far from the VIP lounge, he saw Niamh talking to someone with a bright smile.
Kendrick’s heart suddenly twitched when he saw clearly the joy and happiness on Niamh’s face that came from the bottom of her heart.
There was no look of helplessness from being forced or threatened on her face, only a beaming smile.
‘Nia, are you really that happy?
‘For all those days and even our show of love that night, was it all just to make me feel sad now?
“Dad, why aren’t we moving anymore? Mom is right in that room.” Jackson pointed to the VIP lounge.
Kendrick still did not want to believe it, so he strode toward the lounge.
The moment he reached the door, he was stopped by Felipe who had appeared all of a sudden.
When the bodyguards inside heard the noise, they immediately cut off the video call between Niamh and Lilian.
Niamh did not know what was going on outside, but she heard Kendrick’s voice.
Her heartbeat was in disarray. She wanted to go out but was stopped by the bodyguard.
They threatened her with Lilian’s safety, leaving Niamh with no choice.
“Why won’t you let me see my mother? I want to see my mommy. Mommy, it’s Jack!”
Jackson’s childish voice sounded.
Niamh tried really hard to restrain her emotions, then she heard Kendrick’s voice.
“Nia, even if you hate me, Jack is still your son. If you want to leave, you should at least say goodbye to him.”
His tone sounded unusually calm, so calm that people would not be able to tell what he was feeling at the moment.
“For Eveline’s sake, I will let you see her again,” Felipe said kindly, then turned around and entered the waiting lounge.
He walked toward Niamh with a solemn expression. “Eveline, I don’t want to trouble you, but you know what you have to do.”
Although Felipe did not say it clearly, Niamh already understood what he meant.
Kendrick and Jackson were waiting at the door when after a while, both the father and son saw Niamh walking out from the lounge.
She had a faint smile on her elegant and refined face whilst her beautiful eyes looked toward the father and son in front of her without any emotions.
“Mommy!” Jackson ran to her and hugged her leg. “Mommy, where are you going? Don’t you want Jack and Daddy anymore?”
Niamh reluctantly moved Jackson’s little hand away from her and said softly, “Jackson, you will live with your father from now on. Mommy is going to work elsewhere and will not come back in the meantime.”
“Mommy…” Jackson looked at her sadly.
However, Niamh moved her gaze indifferently and looked at Kendrick with some dissatisfaction. “Mr. Waldburg, just because you couldn’t find any other way to make me stay, you’re trying to trap me with a child? It seems that you really love me, hm? But it’s such a pity. Late affections are even cheaper than grass. I no longer want your love.
“I will give Jackson to you. If you’re really regretful, take good care of this child.
“My beloved man is waiting for me inside, so stop bothering me again. Don’t you know that you’re really annoying?”
Niamh glanced at him dismissively before turning away indifferently.
“Mommy!”
Jackson called out to her from behind.
“Mommy, do you really not want Jack anymore?”
Niamh clenched her fists that were hidden in her sleeves, then walked to Felipe’s side without looking back.
She had not given Kendrick a chance to speak from the beginning and he had not asked her to stay either.
Niamh did not know what Kendrick was feeling at this moment nor could she read the expression on his face. She only knew that her heart seemed to be broken with a sharp knife.
‘Kendrick, take good care of Jack.
‘Wait till I get the opportunity to bring Lilian back. Then, we will be able to reunite as a family.’
Half an hour later, Niamh boarded the plane to F Country.
The sky was blue and the clouds were pure white, but Niamh’s heart was covered in haze.
Currently, the only thing that could cure her was Lilian.
She wanted to see this child as soon as possible.
However, after arriving in F Country, Felipe did not let Niamh meet Lilian. Instead, he only let her have a video call with Lilian.
Niamh felt anxious and asked, “Felipe, I’ve already come to F Country with you. Why aren’t you letting me meet Lilian?”
“I won’t let you see Lilian until you’ve really become my woman.” Felipe’s answer turned Niamh’s entire body cold.
He actually wanted to use her body to make a deal.
Felipe smirked with his beautiful thin lips. “I won’t force you anymore. I want you to become my woman voluntarily.”
Niamh met his gaze fearlessly. “Felipe, do as you have promised. Don’t go back on your words later on.”
Hearing this, Felipe was surprised. “Does this mean you agree?”
Niamh met his questioning gaze calmly. “Yes, I agree.”
Felipe really did not expect Niamh to promise him so easily.
He also did not know the reason why he was not feeling any joy at this moment.
On the contrary, he inexplicably thought of the person who he could not see alive or dead… Cathy’s corpse.
At this moment, a bodyguard walked to Felipe’s side and whispered a few words into his ear.
After Felipe listened to his words, he turned around and looked at Niamh. “I have to head out to deal with something now. I will look for you in your room tonight.”
“Okay, I’ll wait for your arrival.” Niamh agreed without any ambiguity.
Felipe was surprised by her unhesitating attitude.
It seemed that it was really difficult for him to understand the feelings of one who was a mother.
‘So Cathy, is this the reason you decided to commit suicide?
‘But when you were pregnant with my child for the first time, didn’t you also decisively aborted it?
‘Why is it just that because I punished you and had you self-reflect in the snow, causing you to miscarry, that you chose to use suicide to protest against me?
‘Why?’
After Felipe left, the servant then brought Niamh to the room where she stayed in three years ago.
The layout of the room had not changed in the slightest. The blanket still had the smell of sunlight, and it was obvious that someone was tidying up the room every day.
Niamh unpacked her luggage and took out the aromatherapy box that she had brought along.
At the same time, her mobile phone rang and it turned out to be Jackson who was calling.
Niamh held back the urge to answer. She then immediately received another text message from Jackson.
[Mommy, Jack and Daddy will wait for you to return. Mommy, you must come back. Don’t abandon Daddy and me.]
Seeing this line of text, Niamh felt her heart ache as her eyes quickly heated up.
Niamh held back her tears with difficulty and simply decided to turn off the phone.
“Jack, Mommy will definitely come back together with your sister.”
‘But Kendrick, will you still be able to trust me and wait for me?’
