She had a sensitive sense of smile, and if she remembered correctly, this unique fragrance was the same as Lana’s perfume.
After having gone through so much with Kendrick, Niamh did not think the man would do anything to betray her. Out of trust, Niamh did not question him. She got up and went to make breakfast for the two children as usual.
After breakfast, Niamh took a pill.
Today was Monday. After sending the two babies to kindergarten, Kendrick returned to the company with Niamh.
As soon as she entered, she saw Lana sitting at the front desk as if she had been waiting for them.
The staff in the lobby seemed to have seen the scoop from this morning. The article said Kendrick was having an affair and spent the night with the mysterious woman.
However, Kendrick did not know of the news. He saw Lana and felt disgusted. Yet at the same time, he was a little worried if Lana would talk nonsense in front of Niamh.
He did not want Niamh to know what happened last night.
However, Lana seemed to be doing it deliberately. She walked up to Niamh with a bright expression on her face. “Mr. and Mrs. Waldburg, I’ve been waiting for you for a long time.”
“Has Miss Johnson been waiting for us since so early in the morning?” Niamh asked with a faint smile.
Lana raised a smile and blatantly stared at Kendrick’s face for a while. “I made this special trip just for Mr. Waldburg.”
Niamh glanced at Kendrick whose expression had changed slightly. Her gaze was calm with a faint sharp edge. She opened her mouth and said, “For what reason has Miss Johnson come looking for my husband?”
Lana curved her red lips meaningfully. “Mr. Waldburg left something with me last night,” she said, opening her palm out to Niamh.
Niamh recognized it in a glance that the thing on Lana’s palm was Kendrick’s cufflinks.
The cuffs were custom-made, so there were no possibilities for a replica.
Kendrick’s handsome face turned cold for a moment. He understood Lana’s intentions. This woman was deliberately provoking Niamh.
He did not care what other people thought, but he cared about Niamh.
“So it turns out that these cufflinks were left at Miss Johnson’s last night. Kendrick had told me this morning that he couldn’t find them,” Niamh spoke up before Kendrick could.
She smiled calmly and gracefully before stretching out her long fingers to take the cufflinks into her hand.
Kendrick was surprised by what Niamh said. The smile on Lana’s face had even become a bit more rigid for a moment.
“Mrs. Waldburg is truly open-minded. Your husband spent the night outside with another woman but you’re indifferent to it.”
Niamh lifted the corners of her lips and smiled. “It wasn’t just last night when Kendrick had spent the night out. In order to earn money for our family, it’s necessary to sacrifice one’s sleep time to talk business.
“Since Miss Johnson is so sincere and has asked for a cooperation over and over again, even sacrificing your beauty sleep to negotiate with my husband for the night, then I, as the head, agree to cooperate with Miss Johnson.”
Niamh finished her words neatly. Seeing Lana’s expression getting heavier, her smile became even brighter.
“I will have my secretary follow up with you on the contract if there’s nothing else.”
After she said this, she smiled and pulled on Kendrick’s arm.
“Hubby, let’s head upstairs.”
“Alright.”
Kendrick let Niamh walk them toward the elevator as she pulled on his arm. However, he was not calm.
Lana looked at the backs of Niamh and Kendrick. She heard the people around whispering about her. She took a slender vape out of her bag and took a puff, exhaling the white smoke skillfully.
“Eveline, the young lady of the Montgomeries.” She curled her lips and smiled before turning to leave.
In the elevator, the atmosphere at the moment was heavy with a deafening silence
Kendrick carefully looked at Niamh’s calm but cold face.
“Nia, last night—”
“You weren’t negotiating business with anyone last night. You went to meet Lana. You stayed together all night?” Niamh immediately questioned while looking at the silent man. “She likes you?”
Kendrick could not deny that Lana had bad thoughts about him, but he solemnly promised Niamh. “Eveline, I will not fall in love with any other woman except you.”
Niamh looked at Kendrick’s affectionate gaze before she was then pulled into his arms in an embrace.
He hugged her, stroked her hair, and kissed her gently. “I don’t want anyone except you.”
Niamh did not question him anymore. She believed in Kendrick, but she did not believe in Lana.
After Kendrick went to a meeting, Niamh sent a screenshot of the ‘scoop’ this morning to Fabian, asking him to take good care of his sister.
When Fabian saw this, he immediately went to Lana and asked her about it. Lana admitted it readily, saying, “Yes, I like Kendrick. He’s such a handsome and masculine man, so how could I let him go?”
“Lana, he has a wife!”
“I know. You like that woman named Eveline, don’t you?” Lana joked with a vape between her fingers.
Fabian solemnly replied, “Don’t talk nonsense. I just like Eveline’s face. If she was single, I might have chased after her, but she has a husband.”
“Don’t you think the things snatched from other people’s hands are particularly fragrant?” Lana raised her arrogant gaze with a look of certainty. “You’d better not interfere with my affairs. Otherwise, I’ll send you back to F Country.”
“…”
Fabian was speechless. He sent a message back to Niamh, promising to keep an eye on Lana.
However, how could Lana be watched over by Fabian? At this moment, night was approaching. When she learned that Kendrick was still in the company, Lana took the initiative to look for him again.
Kendrick was waiting for Niamh, who was in the bathroom, to return. Seeing Lana coming, he was annoyed and dismissed her. “Talk to my secretary about the contract. I have nothing else to say to you.”
Lana took a breath of smoke, approached Kendrick, and exhaled out the smoke gently.
The smoke blew over and there was no pungent smell, only an indescribable fragrance.
Kendrick was in a daze when he heard Lana say to him in a soft tone, “Why not? Did you forget how happy we were last night? Anyway, since your wife trusts you so much, how about we keep it going tonight? I’ll be waiting for you at the hotel. “
A strong feeling of disgust arose within Kendrick’s heart. He wanted to avoid Lana, but somehow, seeing Lana’s face getting closer and closer, he seemed to be frozen. He could only look at her like this.
When Niamh came back from the bathroom, she heard Lana’s charming voice coming from the inside as soon as she walked to the door of the office.
“Kendrick, do you think I’m pretty? Compared to your wife, Eveline, who do you find more appealing?”
Lana smiled coquettishly as she drew closer and closer to Kendrick, the cigarette butt between her fingers fluttering silently with white smoke.
She looked at Kendrick’s despondent appearance at the moment, feeling satisfied. She was about to take the opportunity to kiss him, but from her peripheral vision, she suddenly saw Niamh holding up her phone with the camera pointed at her as she slowly walked in.
“Why don’t you continue, Miss Johnson? Don’t you want to be famous? I’ll help you,” Niamh said with a slight smile, “I’ll post this video online in a moment so that people from all over the world can see how a vixen seduces married men.”
Hearing Niamh’s clear voice, Kendrick seemingly recovered his thoughts. However, he felt a little fuzzy about what had happened just now.
Lana nipped the cigarette butt as her enthusiasm dampened. Smiling disdainfully at Niamh, she said, “I was just kidding. Mrs. Waldburg doesn’t have to be so serious about it.”
“For such a joke, I would rather Miss Johnson look for another man and not approach my husband. After all, being a mistress isn’t something nice to show off.” Although Niamh was smiling, there was a sharpness in her eyes.
Lana had grown up being cradled in the palm of Paul Johnson’s hand. This was her first time being confronted this way and by a woman no less.
Her expression was dark as her lips tugged into a smirk. She looked at Kendrick intently. “Mr. Waldburg, I’ll come looking for you again.”
Looking at Lana’s provocative smile, Niamh then realized that there were women in this world who were eviler than Nevaeh.
As soon as Lana left, Niamh stowed away her sharpness and touched her stomach with some discomfort.
Seeing this, Kendrick nervously walked to Niamh’s side. “Nia, are you okay?”
Niamh avoided Kendrick’s arms that had stretched over and said coldly, “If I hadn’t walked in just now, would you have wanted something to develop further between the two of you?”
Kendrick hugged Niamh’s shoulders. “Nia, don’t be ridiculous. No matter what she thinks of me, you’re the only woman I love.”
“I hope what you’re saying now will not be like the promise you made back then.”
After Niamh said this, she turned and left. Kendrick quickly followed after her.
Once they left the office, he felt as if his thoughts had become completely clear.
The next day, Niamh went to the hospital for a pregnancy test before she went to look for Adam.
There seemed to be an important guest in his consultation room at the moment. Niamh waited for more than half an hour before Adam was free.
After reading Niamh’s test results, a slightly complicated expression appeared on Adam’s face as he solemnly said, “Eveline, you can’t keep this child anymore. Your body’s indicators are beginning to drop. Your life will be threatened should you keep the baby. Surgery should be done soon.”
Niamh’s blood seemed to go cold when she heard this.
In despair, she went to the parking lot to look for Kendrick but saw Lana getting into Kendrick’s car.
