Eloise and Sean were watching the news in the living room. Suddenly, a servant rushed in to report to them, “Mr. and Mrs. Montgomery, Miss is back!”
“Who?” Eloise and Sean thought they had heard her wrongly.
“Miss Eveline is back!” the servant exclaimed.
Eloise and Sean stood up quickly. When they were walking out, Niamh had already walked in.
“Eveline, when did you come back? Why are you dressed so formally? Where did you go?” Eloise was overjoyed. The woman she was looking at was like a dazzling princess who shone very beautifully.
Niamh said coldly on purpose, “I just arrived today and went to a bidding event with Felipe.”
“Is it that bidding event? I heard that that piece of land was sold at 5.2 billion.”
“Yes, Kendrick won the last bid.”
“Kendrick?” Eloise and Sean seemed shocked. ‘Didn’t Kendrick go bankrupt?’
“I’m a little tired. I’ll head back to my room and rest first.” Niamh did not say much because she was not sure who Felipe’s people were who were sent to watch her.
She felt that Felipe was watching everything she said and did except when she went to the bathroom and to bed.
Eloise and Sean did not dare to ask more questions because they could tell that Niamh was not in a good mood.
Just after Niamh lay down in her room, a notification for a reminder rang, reminding her that the day after tomorrow was the death anniversary of her grandfather, Len, who raised her.
“Grandpa…” she said softly as her heart started aching.
“Grandpa, tell me what I should do.”
She furrowed her eyebrows with annoyance when her phone suddenly vibrated.
A stranger had sent her a friend request via her phone number.
Niamh took a look at the profile. The information showed that it was a girl and she had remarked: [I’m heartbroken and simply entered a number. I just want to talk to a stranger.]
Niamh felt very tired and was not in the mood to comfort the brokenhearted person. Soon after, she fell asleep.
Early the next morning, Niamh’s stomach began to turn as soon as she got up. She ran into the bathroom and tried to vomit, but nothing came out.
When she recalled being pregnant with Jackson, she had the same symptoms.
When she was pregnant with Lilian, she was completely emotionless and there were not many uncomfortable symptoms.
She touched her belly and remembered the night with Kendrick three months ago.
At that time, he had said softly in her ear, “Nia, let’s have another baby.”
That was why they did not take any protective measures and he went all out…
Niamh did not dare to think about it anymore. She went downstairs after washing up and saw a hearty breakfast prepared by Eloise.
“Eveline, you’re up. I made breakfast for you. Come over and have some breakfast,” Eloise smiled and called out to Niamh affectionately.
Niamh glanced at the front door and walked toward the dining room.
Eloise knew that she had been too cruel to Niamh last time and thought that Niamh still held a grudge against Sean and her, so she was still treading lightly.
“Eveline, were you in F Country with Felipe for the last three months? How are you doing? I heard from my friends in F Country that Felipe and you often attended business receptions. They also said that the two of you are very affectionate.”
Niamh could not refute the perfect husband and wife relationship between Felipe and her since that was what the upper-class circle in F Country thought of them.
“I had a good time in F Country. Felipe loves me very much. You don’t have to worry about me.”
“That’s good.” Eloise nodded and sighed. “As long as you’re happy, that’s all your dad and I want.”
“Mm-hmm.” Niamh nodded slightly.
After having her breakfast, Niamh wanted to go to the hospital to do a check-up. However, as soon as she stepped out of the door, Felipe’s men were already waiting for her.
She had no where she could go without being under that man’s control.
For the sake of her only beloved baby girl, Niamh had no choice but to go along with it.
Felipe had already planned where she should go, but when Niamh said that she was unwell and wanted to go to the hospital, Felipe was a bit hesitant. However, he was still worried about her. As he was worried that Niamh was really feeling uncomfortable, he agreed to let her go to the hospital but ordered his men to watch over her.
After Niamh arrived at the hospital, she registered for a body examination.
After half an hour, her results came out.
After reading the report, the doctor told her clearly, “You’re pregnant. You’ve been pregnant for eight weeks. Haven’t you felt it?”
“…”
Niamh clenched the checklist in her hand and had mixed feelings.
She was pregnant again.
It was her and Kendrick’s flesh and blood.
How was she to deal with the situation?
Niamh crunched the checklist into a ball and wanted to throw it in the trash can. She did not want Felipe to find out about her pregnancy.
However, as soon as she stretched her hand out to the trash can, Kendrick’s voice suddenly rang behind her. “Mrs. Waldburg, we meet again. It seems that we’re fated.”
His sudden voice startled Niamh and made her heart skip a beat.
Her hand shook as the ball of paper that was supposed to be thrown into the trash can fell to the ground.
She hurriedly reached for it, but Kendrick got to it faster.
He stooped closer, and his delicate profile lightly brushed across her cheek.
Their breaths intertwined for a moment.
Kendrick picked up the ball of paper and was about to throw it away when he saw how weird Niamh was acting.
When Niamh saw that Kendrick was about to open the ball of paper, she quickly reached out to grab it but was a second too slow.
When Kendrick saw the contents of the examination report, his eyes darkened sharply. His delicate and handsome face instantly turned cold.
Niamh noticed the change in Kendrick’s facial expression, so she reached out again, grabbed the examination report, and stuffed it into the trash can.
She was upset. She did not know if Kendrick understood the contents of the report. When she contemplated whether to leave straight away, she heard Kendrick chuckling coldly. “You’re pregnant with his baby.”
“…”
Niamh’s face stiffened upon hearing that and her heart skipped a beat again.
‘What did he say?’
She was not sure what she heard. A moment later, Kendrick’s cold voice repeated, “You’re pregnant with his baby.”
Niamh stared at the man with the cold look on his face.
Did he think she was pregnant with Felipe’s child?
Niamh felt wronged and helpless but could not blame Kendrick.
It was reasonable for him to think so.
For the past three months, she had been staying with Felipe. If she were to think from Kendrick’s point of view, she must have already spent countless nights with Felipe.
The truth was that she never once allowed Felipe to touch her.
Even the night Felipe thought they were intimate was nothing more than the illusion she created for him with the help of the fragrance she blended.
When Kendrick saw that Niamh was silent, he assumed she was admitting to it by default.
His eyes darkened as he suddenly reached out. He grasped Niamh’s wrist and pulled her forward.
Niamh could not break free from him and could only follow him. “Kendrick, what are you doing? Let go of me.”
When Felipe’s bodyguard saw what was happening, they immediately caught up to them and reported to Felipe at the same time.
“Kendrick, let me go!” Niamh really wanted to get away from Kendrick at that moment, but he was walking very anxiously. She was worried that she would fall if she could not keep up. She did not want the child in her womb to get hurt.
As she struggled, Kendrick pulled her into the escape corridor.
Niamh wanted to escape from him but he pushed her against the wall. His masculine and handsome face got closer to Niamh’s, trapping her between the wall and him.
