Niamh looked at her calmly. “Lana, if you’re so capable, go ahead and get your hired killer to come out and kill me now. If not, move so that I can leave.”
When Lana heard what she said, she paused from smoking as her face sank.
When she saw Niamh walking toward the door without any scruples, she turned around quickly. “Hans, don’t let her go.”
Niamh had just walked to the hallway when she was suddenly pulled by Kendrick.
She looked up and saw the man’s indifferent piercing eyes. “Go and apologize to her.”
His tone was commanding and his attitude was tough.
There was a sliver of pain in Niamh’s heart, and from her peripheral view, she saw the evil smiles of Lana and Naomi watching the scene unfold.
A few seconds later, Niamh smiled at the man who was holding her tightly and said softly, “Since Mr. Zimmerman wants me to apologize, then I will.”
Lana and Naomi wanted to see Niamh look miserable, but the scene before them was completely opposite to what they thought would happen.
Kendrick looked at her bright smile and was at a loss.
Niamh easily broke free from Kendrick’s hold, apologized to Naomi, then left the villa calmly.
After getting in the car, Niamh’s mask of strength was torn down.
Her heart was in a lot of pain.
However, she kept everything in.
‘Kendrick, what should I do so that you’ll remember me?
‘What is the cause of your amnesia?’
As soon as Niamh left, Lana put out the cigarette butt unhappily and said fiercely, “Sh*t! I’ve never seen a woman who’s more arrogant than me! I’ll make sure she’ll never feel this at ease again!”
Lana was exasperated and lit another cigarette.
“We really ought to teach her a lesson.” Naomi was also dissatisfied and said, “Actually, I don’t think it’ll require a lot of work to deal with Eveline. Don’t you have the best weapon in your hands?”
Lana heard what she said and looked at the man standing in the yard at the moment. She squinted her eyes and licked her red lips as a smile crept up on her face again.
…
So far, Niamh had only told Sean and Eloise about the news that Kendrick was still alive. She wanted to tell the Waldburg family about it too, but when she remembered how cold Kendrick was after he had his amnesia, she felt that perhaps it was not the best time to break the news yet.
The new Kendrick heeded almost every word of Lana.
When Niamh recalled what Lana said the other day, she felt a pain in her heart.
‘Kendrick, do you really spend each night with Lana? Did you really… With her…’
Niamh did not have the courage to think that the man she loved was blindly in love with another woman. No one could accept such a thing.
On the day of her check-up, it was supposed to be Kendrick accompanying Niamh, but it was Eloise who was with her instead.
After her examination, the doctor said that Niamh’s physical indicators were all right and that the fetus was healthy. When Niamh heard the result, she was overjoyed like a warm sun in winter.
Niamh took the pregnancy checklist and was about to go home with Eloise.
However, when she walked to the entrance to get into the car, Kendrick appeared in front of her.
Eloise looked at him in shock. “It’s really Kendrick!”
Although Niamh’s heartstrings were also pulled painfully by the sudden appearance of the man, she put on a calm front. “Mr. Zimmerman, is there anything I can do for you?”
The man strode to her. The high sexual tension and his cold aura engulfed Niamh. He suddenly lowered his head, put his thin lips to her ears, and said in a low voice, “Nia, meet me at the place where we first met at seven o’clock tonight. See you there.”
When she heard him call her Nia, it was like a beautiful sound that fell into Niamh’s heart.
She looked up in surprise and saw Kendrick smiling at her.
“Don’t be late.” He reminded her again, his tone sounding even more gentle.
Niamh felt as if she was hallucinating again, but Kendrick’s smile felt so real.
When she snapped out of it, Kendrick had already driven away in his car.
“Eveline, what’s going on?” Eloise was surprised and shocked. “What did he tell you just now?”
“I’m going to April Hill tonight,” Niamh whispered and looked in the direction where Kendrick left. Speculations arose in her heart.
‘Nia.’
When Niamh recalled how gently he had called out her name just now, her eyes lit up with expectations once more.
‘Kendrick, do you finally remember me, or have you never forgotten?’
With doubts still in her heart, Niamh asked Ken to drive her to April Hill.
Niamh arrived early. Even though it was in the middle of summer, there were no tourists on the beach.
Since it was earlier than the agreed time, Niamh waited in the car.
Ken could not believe it and asked, “Is Mr. Waldburg really still alive?”
Niamh nodded. “He really is still alive. We got tricked.”
“Who tricked us?” Ken asked urgently with a serious expression. “I must seek justice for Mr. Waldburg!”
“It won’t be easy to get them. We shall meet Kendrick tonight and make our plan accordingly.”
When Ken heard what Niamh said, he did not question her further.
After the sunset, it was almost seven o’clock.
Niamh saw a car approaching in the distance, and a moment later, Kendrick got out of the car.
Ken looked at the man who was walking toward them. He was both surprised and delighted. “It’s really Mr. Waldburg!”
“Wait here,” Niamh said and got out of the car.
Ken unfastened his seat belt excitedly, but when he heard Niamh’s words, he restrained his impulse and waited in the car.
The night was a bit hazy, but the handsome face that was reflected in Niamh’s eyes was very clear.
As soon as she approached him, Kendrick said, “Did you wait very long for me?”
Niamh shook her head. “It doesn’t matter how long I waited. What matters is that I’ll wait for you.”
Kendrick’s sexy lips turned into a smile as he suddenly took Niamh’s hand. “Let’s walk.”
Niamh looked at her hand that was taken by him unexpectedly. She slowly followed Kendrick.
The moonlight reflected on the water, casting a shine to the rippling sea.
The sea breeze came slowly, and the air felt sweet to Niamh.
“Kendrick.” She slowly came to a stop and asked him in confusion, “What’s going on? Did you get your memories back? Or did you never lose them in the first place?”
Kendrick stopped and looked at Niamh’s bewildered eyes. His gaze slowly fell on her stomach.
“How far is your pregnancy?”
Niamh was stunned. If Kendrick had his memories back, he should know how long she had been pregnant.
However, when she looked at the face that had been on her mind every second of the day, Niamh told him without thinking too much about it.
“It’s been exactly seven months. I just had a check-up today. The doctor said our baby is healthy.”
As she said that, she placed Kendrick’s hand on her belly. “Kendrick, can you feel it? Our baby is moving. This is its heart beating.”
As soon as she said that, Kendrick withdrew his hand decisively. He did not seem to be interested in learning about the child. Those eyes that were as deep as night were locked on hers.
“I want to feel you more than I want to feel the child.”
“What?”
Niamh did not understand, but the next second, Kendrick’s palm held her face.
The temperature of his palm gave warmth to her cheeks.
Before Niamh could react, the man in front of her suddenly kissed her.
