The young master of the wealthiest family in Glendale was being arrested for murder.
This scene of his arrest would definitely go viral.
Kendrick looked at the frowning Niamh and did not say anything to her. On the contrary, he just looked at her intensely.
When their eyes met, Niamh could tell what Kendrick wanted to say to her.
“Mr. Waldburg, come with us. We’ll get to the bottom of this if you’re really innocent. Retreat!” the police said as he took Kendrick back to the station.
Kendrick did not want to run away anymore, but before he turned around, he stole a glance at Niamh.
Niamh averted her gaze while pretending to be calm. She did not want to look at him.
Kendrick understood and smiled lightly. There was no troubled expression on his face. On the contrary, he looked relieved.
However, before he could walk away, he heard footsteps approaching him.
He turned around and saw Lillian behind him.
Kendrick felt tears welling up in his eyes. He did not expect the child to run back to him at this moment and grab the corner of his shirt.
“Lily.” He bent down and caressed the little girl’s hair. Then, he apologized. “Go back with Mommy. Daddy can’t go home with you now.”
Lillian frowned and shook her head seriously when she looked at Kendrick. Then, she tugged the corner of Kendrick’s shirt like she was asking him to go home with her.
However, Kendrick knew he was unable to leave now.
“Lily, be a good girl. I promise I’ll go home as soon as I can. I’ll take Lily and Jack for burgers and then we’ll go to Pirate Land.”
Lillian’s eyes turned red. She shook her head furiously while looking at Kendrick aggrievedly.
She wanted her daddy.
She wanted her daddy now.
Looking at the reluctant little girl, Kendrick felt horrible, but at the same time, he felt at ease.
Niamh ran over quickly. She had no choice but to pull Lillian’s hand away and yank her into her arms.
“Lily, be a good girl.”
Lillian pouted aggrievedly. Then, tears started to fall from her eyes silently.
At this moment, Ryan barged into the roof hurriedly.
He was still the elegant-looking prince, looking refined and humble as always.
His kind face was filled with confusion until he walked to Niamh’s side and asked, “Eveline, are you okay?”
Niamh looked at Kendrick from the corner of her eyes. Then, she smiled at Ryan. “I’m fine.”
The journalists and passersby started gossiping among themselves when they saw this.
“It looks like Eveline is really dating Ryan again.”
“I didn’t expect this woman to be so unscrupulous.”
“The moment something bad happened to Mr. Waldburg, she immediately ran to another man.”
“That’s why they say there’s no true love in the upper-class. This woman only has profits in her mind.”
All kinds of suspicions and beratings started drifting into Niamh’s ears. However, she stayed silent and endured all of it. She pretended that she did not care before calling out to Kendrick who was about to turn around.
“Kendrick.” Her voice was flat when she looked into the man’s confused eyes. “Let’s talk this out now that the media is here.”
She clenched her fist and was on the verge of a breakdown. However, she forced her tears back into her eyes.
“From now on, aside from the three children, there’s nothing between us anymore. From now on, your life and death and your future marriages will have nothing to do with me.”
Kendrick was taken aback, but he immediately understood Niamh’s hidden meaning.
He looked at Niamh’s frigid expression and smiled. Then, he replied briefly, “Okay.”
Niamh lifted the corners of her lips in satisfaction and glanced at Ryan beside her. “Rye, let’s go.”
Ryan glanced at Niamh fondly. Then, he raised his hand in front of everyone and put his arm around Niamh’s shoulders.
Of course, his behavior was mainly to trigger Kendrick.
Moreover, he even gave Kendrick a subtle, victorious glance before leaving confidently with Niamh in his arms.
The news of Kendrick getting arrested after saving his daughter quickly spread.
Everyone also knew about what Niamh had heartlessly said to Kendrick on the roof before leaving with Ryan.
However, she did not care about the bullying on the internet. After returning to the house with Ryan, she wanted to find a chance to preserve Ryan’s suit with the traces of smoke.
However, Ryan never gave Niamh a chance. He stayed with her the entire time and even turned on the television in the living room to watch the news about Kendrick’s arrest.
“I didn’t expect Kendrick to sacrifice everything for his woman and children in the end.” Ryan curled his lips and smiled in satisfaction. Then, he looked at the silent Niamh. “You did a great job too. In order to let Kendrick live and make me feel satisfied with the performance, you’d rather bear the label of being a fickle wh*re.”
While listening to Ryan’s words, Niamh suddenly smiled bitterly. Then, she leaned against the sofa. She looked weary as she blankly stared forward.
“Perhaps I’m not destined to stay with him.” She sighed as tears quietly fell from the corners of her eyes. “I’ve split up and reunited with him so many times but we still couldn’t stay together. I just long for a quiet life. Why is it always so difficult?”
Ryan probably did not expect Niamh to suddenly show such an emotional side. After seeing her tears, he pitied her a little and raised his hand to gently wipe her tears away. Then, he comforted her with a gentle tone.
“Since we’re not suitable for each other, why did I force myself to be with him? Feelings are indeed an indispensable factor in marriage, but if two people are not suitable for each other, there will be no happiness even if they’re forced to be together.”
Niamh turned her head to look into Ryan’s eyes. There was no repulsion nor contempt in her eyes.
“I want to see him.”
“Sure,” Ryan answered without hesitation.
Niamh smiled as a twinkle flashed across her stunning pupils.
The next day, Niamh took Lillian to the police station.
In the conjugal room, she saw the man in poor spirits while dressed in prison clothes.
Kendrick’s complexion looked very bad. The poison had tormented him to a terrible state.
Niamh restrained her emotions and brought Lillian to him.
“I know you must want to see Lily,” Niamh said insipidly. She figured Ryan must have arranged for someone to watch her in secret, so she remained indifferent to Kendrick.
Kendrick glanced at Niamh fondly, then turned his attention to Lillian who was staring at him. He smiled softly and said, “Lily.”
Lillian walked over and pulled the corner of his clothes while blinking her huge eyes. Then, she stood on tiptoes and placed a candy into Kendrick’s palm.
Kendrick’s heart warmed up. He knew that the little girl’s favorite snacks were candies.
She gave him what she thought was the best thing in the world, which meant that the little girl was no longer angry with him.
Instantly, Kendrick felt as if all of his pain had healed.
Niamh looked at this scene with warmth in her heart, but she still spoke calmly, “Kendrick, I’ll help you hire a lawyer for the sake of our previous relationship.
“Do you have any other things you want? If not, I’ll take the child home,” Niamh said as she pulled Lillian’s hand to get up and leave.
“Yes.” Kendrick looked at Niamh’s back. “I want to look at you and our daughter longer.”
Niamh felt her heart burning when she heard what he said.
She looked back and looked into his affectionate eyes.
However, ten minutes was too short. It felt as if they would have to leave each other the moment their eyes met.
“Eveline, will you marry me again if I ever get the chance to get out?” Kendrick asked Niamh before finally turning around.
Niamh looked at him without giving any response, but Kendrick saw the best answer in her eyes.
He smiled and looked at Lillian whose brows were knitted together tightly. “Lily, Daddy is going now. Go home with Mommy.”
Lillian shook her head lightly when she heard those words. Then, she pouted as if she was about to cry.
Kendrick had no choice but to turn around.
However, when he was about to step out of the conjugal room, he suddenly heard rapid footsteps approaching him.
