She never once forgot his touch and the warmth of his palm!
“Kendrick, it’s really you!” Niamh shed tears from being so surprised. She wanted to hug the man, but she was pushed away.
“Who sent you? Why have you been following me?” the man asked in a cold voice. His eyes that were as deep as night was filled with iciness and coldness.
Niamh was slightly stunned. She looked at the man with the cold eyes in disbelief. “Kendrick, I’m Eveline.”
“Eveline?” It was clear that he had never heard the name.
Even though he saw that Niamh’s eyes were brimming with tears, he let go of her hands indifferently.
“Don’t follow me anymore, or I won’t be so kind next time.”
After the man warned her, he walked past Niamh.
Niamh took a deep breath, restrained her disordered emotions, and quickly took the man’s hand. She asked nervously and with worry, “Kendrick, what’s wrong with you? Did you lose your memory? Did you hurt your head when the yacht exploded that day? Did you forget about me?”
The man frowned his beautiful eyebrows with discomfort. When Niamh gripped his hand with even more force, he forcefully broke away from her. His low magnetic voice was very cold.
“Are you trying to get my attention by acting this way? I’m not interested in pregnant women, so stop following me.”
When Niamh’s palm became empty again, her heart seemed to have followed suit and hollowed out.
She could not believe that she was looking at the man who did not know her. It was clear that he was starting to dislike her. She was not sure whether she should be happy or even sadder.
She should feel happy.
After all, he was still alive.
There was nothing more important for her than for him to be alive and living well.
Niamh told herself so and caught up with him. “Kendrick Waldburg, don’t go.”
When he was stopped by Niamh again, unpleasant emotions appeared on the handsome man’s face. “If you pester me again, I’ll definitely make you regret it.” He warned.
Niamh looked at the cold-eyed man with distress in her eyes. “Kendrick, I know there must be some reason for you to be acting like this. If you go with me, I’ll prove to you who we are to each other.”
She took his hand and wanted to walk off with him, but when she turned around, Lana had appeared in front of her.
Niamh grabbed Kendrick’s hand with even more force, her eyes turning hostile as Lana walked toward them.
Lana wore a sexy short skirt, and her short hair was changed into another style once more. It was dyed blue-gray now, but one thing did not change about her—she was still as pretentious as ever.
“Eveline, please let go of my man’s hand,” Lana said.
When Lana said that, Niamh’s clenched hand was broken free.
The man behind her walked straight to Lana’s side. His eyes that were initially indifferent suddenly looked at Lana with gentleness. “I don’t know where this woman came from. She suddenly told me that she wants to take me away.”
Niamh listened to the man in disbelief and saw Lana’s red lips curving up into a big smile.
“Lana.” Niamh understood what had happened. “It turns out you were the one behind all of this. You ordered someone to do the yacht shooting. Your goal was to get Kendrick.”
Lana smiled brightly and walked to the man’s side. “Mrs. Waldburg, let me introduce you. This is my boyfriend, Hans Zimmerman, not your husband, Kendrick.”
Based on her personal experiences, Niamh did not believe that there was someone who would look exactly the same in this world. What was more, the warmth and touch that she felt from Kendrick was one of a kind.
When she saw that Niamh was full of questions, Lana explained, “That’s right. I loved Mr. Waldburg so much that I found a man who has almost the same body type as him and got a plastic surgeon to reproduce his face on Hans’ face, perfecting the look.”
Lana glanced at the man next to her with satisfaction. She then looked over at Niamh with pride and sarcasm. “It seems that the surgery was very successful that even Kendrick’s wife can’t tell the difference.”
“Lana, do you think I’m a three-year-old child? This is Kendrick!”
Of course, Niamh would not believe what Lana said as she felt that Lana was very bad at lying.
She loved that man for many years. Everything from the expression in his eyes to his breath was carved in her heart.
Even if there were actually two people in the world who looked the same, there would never be a second man who would be able to give her the same heart-throbbing feeling.
When Lana saw Niamh’s steadfast and sharp gaze, she looked flirtatiously at the man beside her. “Baby, go to the banquet hall and wait for me over there. I’ll be there with you right away.”
The man nodded and left as Lana wished, but his gaze did not leave Niamh at all.
“Kendrick.” Niamh walked toward him and chased after him. “Kendrick, don’t go.”
“Don’t waste your time. He won’t care about you at all,” Lana smiled triumphantly and softly said to Niamh who passed by her, “Eveline, you’re right. He is your husband Kendrick. I was the one who ordered the shooting. I originally wanted to kill you, but I didn’t expect that he would give his life away and take the bullet for you.”
Niamh stopped abruptly, her heart throbbing painfully.
‘It turned out that the reason he suddenly ran behind me and hugged me was to save me.’
“I told you, Eveline. I always get what I want. Your husband is now my man. We’re very happy every night. His physical strength is really good. I haven’t felt so good in such a long time. Haha…”
Her words gave Niamh a splitting headache. She raised her hand quickly and slapped the complacent smile off of Lana’s face. “You b*tch!”
Niamh was trembling with anger. When she wanted to slap her for the second time, the man who had turned back suddenly grabbed hold of her wrist.
Niamh’s hand that wanted to give her another slap was tightly held in the air.
She saw Lana smiling wickedly, but soon, she showed a sad look to Kendrick. “Hans, she hit me.”
When Lana said that, Niamh could clearly feel the strength of Kendrick’s palms increasing.
She furrowed her eyebrows in pain and wanted to recall the man’s memory, but Kendrick’s eyes merely looked down coldly at her.
It had been a long time since she saw him look at her with such cruelty.
At that moment, he was looking at her the same way.
That showed that he had completely forgotten about her.
“You dare hit my woman? Are you trying to get yourself killed?” Kendrick tugged at Niamh’s wrist.
No matter how painful her hand felt, it did not hurt as much as the words he was saying at that moment.
‘His woman.’
Niamh choked down the urge to cry. Her eyes remained unyielding and sharp. “I’m the only one who’s your woman.”
She stared at Kendrick’s cold eyes. “Kendrick, you won’t forget me forever. One day, you’ll remember me.”
Kendrick looked at her gaze, his grip seemingly relaxing a bit.
When Lana sensed that Kendrick was moved by Niamh, she immediately walked over. “Hans, my face hurts.”
Her words were obviously used to antagonize Kendrick, but Niamh did not expect Kendrick to get so angry about her slapping Lana.
His eyes narrowed fiercely, and Niamh felt as if her wrist was about to be crushed.
She did not cry out for pain, let alone begged for mercy. All she did was stare right at the man who looked like he was going to kill her.
“I don’t hit women. Since you’re pregnant, I’ll let you go this time. If you dare to mess with my woman again, it won’t end as well as this time.” Kendrick warned before tossing her hand.
He had used a great force and did not save any pity for her.
Niamh staggered onto the wall behind her and felt a sudden pain in her abdomen.
She instinctively protected her belly, but when she looked up, she saw that Kendrick had already turned around and was protecting Lana.
The two’s back view was reflected in Niamh’s eyes, and the image seemed to be ingrained in her heart. It stung her.
She still believed in Kendrick, believing that in the deepest part of the man’s heart was her shadow.
He had just temporarily forgotten her.
Niamh was no longer in the mood to stay at the party. She was almost seven months pregnant, and the push from Kendrick discomforted her a little.
She was about to call her secretary to pick her up when Ryan happened to pass by and saw her.
When he saw that Niamh was not quite right, he quickly walked over to support her. “Mrs. Waldburg, are you feeling alright?”
“My stomach feels a little uncomfortable. Mr. Jones, can I trouble you to walk me to the seat over there for a while? My secretary will be here to pick me up soon.”
Ryan nodded and helped Niamh onto the bench. When he saw that she was getting paler and paler, Ryan suggested. “Why don’t I take you to the hospital?”
Just as Niamh was about to refuse, Naomi walked toward them.
Although Naomi had a friendly smile on her face, her eyes were clearly dissatisfied.
“Rye, what’s the matter?” She walked over to them with a puzzled look.
