“I can send you back to the room.”
Niamh did not seem to give Kendrick a chance to refuse at all.
Kendrick looked at Niamh’s stern and solemn expression and he dared not resist at that moment.
He could only obediently turn around and return to the room.
“Are you going to dinner with Carter later?” Kendrick asked, pretending to be curious while looking at Niamh from the corner of his eyes.
Niamh quickly replied, “Yes, I’ll be going with Carter to have a light meal with his family later. ”
Kendrick’s sharp eyebrows furrowed slightly when he heard the words. He wanted to say, ‘Nia, don’t go.’ However, he could not say that.
Kendrick sat back on the bed. Niamh caught glimpse of the untouched snacks and tea on the bedside cabinet, and her eyebrows seemed to furrow.
“Mr. Waldburg, eat something. You have lost too much blood. You need to replenish your energy. ”
Just after Niamh had finished speaking, there was the sound of footsteps at the door.
The maid from earlier came back again.
The maid saw Niamh standing in front of Kendrick’s bed at this moment.
“Miss Montgomery, I’m so sorry. I’m responsible for taking care of Mr. Waldburg. Please do not fault me for my negligence.”
The maid apologized repeatedly and immediately fetched a drink for Kendrick.
The tea was still warm, and the maid actively brought it to Kendrick.
“Mr. Waldburg, eat something. If you are hungry, it’ll be my dereliction of duty.”
The maid picked up the pastry again as she spoke.
“You’re injured now, and you have lost so much blood. You just need to replenish a bit of your energy, so don’t throw a tantrum, okay? Hurry up and eat some. Come on.”
The maid raised her hand and brought the snack in her hand to Kendrick’s mouth.
What she said just now was almost the same as what Niamh had just said.
In the face of such an enthusiastic maid, Kendrick’s first thought was to avoid her.
However, at this time, he heard Niamh speak. “Mr. Waldburg, since this maid is so passionate and caring. Eat some. Don’t disappoint her.”
Kendrick did not know if he was imagining things. Why did he feel that Niamh sounded jealous at the moment?
When the maid had heard what Niamh said, a slight flush appeared on both sides of her cheeks as if from shyness.
“Mr. Waldburg, just eat some for the sake of your own body,” the maid persuaded again, blinking her big shiny eyes.
Kendrick glanced at Niamh and took the glass from the maid’s hand.
“Thank you, I will do it myself.”
“Mr. Waldburg, you don’t have to be polite with me. It’s my job to take care of you,” the maid said with a shy expression and then got up to face Niamh.
“Miss Montgomery, don’t worry. I’ll take good care of Mr. Waldburg. I heard that you’ll be going to the hotel with Mr. Carter for a light meal soon, so I won’t take your time.”
The maid sounded like she was dismissing Niamh.
Niamh nodded and smiled. “Then, I won’t disturb Mr. Waldburg from his meal, ” she said as she turned around.
“Miss Montgomery, be careful on your way out.” The maid smiled and watched Niamh leave.
Kendrick’s gaze lingered on Niamh’s back figure.
However, the maid quickly stepped forward and blocked his view.
“Mr. Waldburg, eat.” She was buttering him up with a smile on her face.
Initially, Kendrick had no appetite and did not want to accept the maid’s kindness, but he suddenly thought of what Niamh had just said.
He must rest well and recuperate.
Niamh walked out of the door and, as she closed the door, looked up at Kendrick who was eating.
The corners of her beautiful lips seemingly curled up before closing the door.
From the corners of his eyes, Kendrick spotted Niamh’s smile. He did not quite understand why Niamh smiled, but he felt a sense of comfort in his heart.
‘Nia is smiling at me, right?’
Kendrick thought silently, and suddenly, he tasted the food in his mouth again.
At around seven o’clock in the evening, Carter returned, picked up Niamh, and went to the most luxurious hotel in St. Piaf.
Niamh was arranged to sit beside Carter. She did not know any of these people except Camille and Carter.
Carter gently and humbly introduced everyone to her one by one. These people were all his immediate family members, and they all had noble status.
However, Niamh did not feel harmony and warmth among his relatives.
Presently, Niamh heard one of the middle -aged women adorned in luxury wearables and heavy make-up casting a doubtful eye at her.
“Carter, if I remember correctly, you seemed to be marrying this young lady a few months ago, but then, in the middle of the wedding…”
“Cough, cough.”
The woman did not get to finish her words as the man sitting next to her coughed twice, deliberated interrupting her. The man then raised his wine glass and congratulated Carter with a smile on his face.
“Tomorrow, Carter will marry Miss Montgomery. Let’s wish Carter and Miss Montgomery happiness in advance tonight.”
When he finished speaking, other people around the table also raised their glasses to give their blessings.
However, almost none of these people were sincere.
Carter knew how many people coveted the position of royal inheritance.
He was bound to win this time, and he would not allow any more mistakes.
The uncle who was sitting on the side, his faced red from drunkenness, congratulated Carter.
“Then, while we’re at it, I shall also congratulate Carter for becoming the new monarch of St. Piaf.”
The man had just finished congratulating Carter when a disappointed voice came behind them.
“You’re congratulating him a little too soon.”
Niamh looked up and saw a tall man wearing limited edition sportswear with a tote bag strapped diagonally across his broad shoulders. He looked as if he had just returned from exercising.
This man seemed to be in his twenties. His features were defined and resolute, and he looked very handsome too. Nevertheless, this handsome man also looked like a frivolous yuppie. Overall, he looked like an unruly hedonist.
Niamh took another look at the man and realized that the expression in the man’s eyes looked similar to Carter’s.
It seemed that he should be Carter’s cousin.
After a while, the man walked up beside Niamh, curled the corners of his thin lips into a frivolous smile, and introduced himself, as expected.
“Hi, future cousin-in-law. This is the first time we have met. I am Carter’s cousin, Jim.”
Jim Gray.
Niamh digested this name and found that it was foreign.
She stood up with a slight smile and politely extended her hand in a friendly greeting. “Hello, I am Eveline Montgomery.”
“Eveline.” Jim seemed to be thinking about the name carefully, and then, with a cynical grin, he reached out to hold Niamh’s hand. “The name Eveline sounds beautiful, but it doesn’t match Carter’s name very well.”
After saying that with a grin, he let go, started walking toward the woman resplendent with jewels from earlier, and sat down.
The woman looked at Jim with a beaming grin. “ Jimmy, have you finished playing? Are you tired? Have a drink first.”
“Thank you, mom.” Jim thanked her politely.
“ I’m your mother, why are you thanking me?” the woman said to Jim with a smile. The smile on her face was extremely bright.
Oh.
It turned out that this woman was Jim’s mother, so no wonder she had snapped at Carter just now.
It seemed that Carter would not get the position of the royal inheritance so easily.
