“I think you must be tired from playing ball just now, Jimmy, for you to say such a mindless thing. Whether two of us are a match isn’t based on our names. Eveline and I will be having our wedding tomorrow. It’s inappropriate for you to say that.”
Carter only spoke now. Despite the slight smile on his face, one could see that he was quite dissatisfied.
Niamh turned her head and smiled lightly at Carter. “Carter, I think Jim was just joking. I don’t mind, so don’t take it to heart.”
“My future cousin-in-law is so generous, ” Jim praised Niamh. “ I’m certainly a little tired from playing, but my mind is very clear.”
Jim sounded like he was joking, but suddenly his tone became somewhat thought-provoking.
“If someone thinks that getting a wife can help him win the right of inheritance, that’ll be such a brainless behavior.”
Jim said and cast his gaze to Carter. “Carter, do you think I’m right?”
It was clear that he was talking about Carter, and the displeased look was evident on Carter’s icy face.
Just as Carter was about to speak, Camille raised her hand and gently touched Carter’s arm, which seemed to calm Carter down.
Carter did not speak, but he merely smiled slightly instead.
At this moment, Camille said, “Jimmy, this matter is about the royal inheritance. It’s pointless for us to discuss further since the decision is in the hands of the higher-ups.”
“Aunty Cammy is right. ” Jim smiled and nodded in agreement. “So, those people better not use some improper means to fight for this position again.
They can do it once, but this doesn’t mean they can do it again.”
Jim’s words clearly meant Carter’s previous marriage with Ada.
Niamh saw Carter’s fingers bending one by one. It seemed that Carter was holding back the anger in his heart, and he was close to losing his cool.
Jim’s mother noticed Carter’s displeasure, and the smile on her face grew bigger. However, Jim ate and drank the glass of wine in his hand, his face not betraying much emotions.
It could be said that they ended this dinner in displeasure.
On the way back, the atmosphere in the car was tense.
Niamh glanced at the night view outside the car window, then she turned to look at Carter, who had a grim look on his face.
“Carter, the guy named Jim had kept targeting you at the dinner table. Is there a grudge between you Although Carter was in a bad mood at the moment, he restrained his anger and replied in a gentle voice, “He’s my cousin, and he also intends to fight for the royal inheritance.”
“I see. No wonder he always targets you, especially his mother.”
“That woman.” Carter sneered in disdain, and then his gaze lit up and he stared straight at Niamh’s face.
Niamh blinked suspiciously. “Carter, what’s the matter?”
“Eveline, you must listen to me. Tomorrow, you must do what I tell you to do.”
Carter urged; his expression was serious. Niamh nodded obediently. “Of course. I’ll do what you say.”
Carter was quite satisfied with this answer, but he was not at ease yet.
He reached out to touch his jacket pocket but did not find what he was looking for.
When the car arrived at the manor, Carter asked Niamh to follow him back to the study.
As soon as he entered the room, he rummaged through the desk, searching for something.
Niamh merely stood by and watched, smiling slightly and not speaking.
In the end, Carter found what he was looking for in the drawer. It was the pocket watch he had used to hypnotize Niamh.
Yes, he was not at ease.
That was why he decided to hypnotize Niamh again and instruct her to do things.
“Eveline, look at this pocket watch seriously.”
Carter hypnotized Niamh directly because he knew that after being deeply hypnotized, Niamh was considered to have lost her own thoughts and opinions, so she would definitely follow his instructions.
Sure enough, Niamh was very obedient. Her gaze shifted onto the pocket watch, staring attentively.
Carter’s lips twitched slightly, followed by a series of routine hypnotic operations.
Finally, he began to give his order.
“Eveline, there can be no mistakes at tomorrow’s wedding. So, you must remember the following three points.
“First, you and I are lovers who love each other. You voluntarily marry me and become my wife.
“Second, no matter what others say or do, you must stand on my side, and you must let everyone know how powerful your family is.
“Third and most importantly…” Carter emphasized.
“You have to remember that you are pregnant with the child of the Gray family.”
It seemed that this was the most important thing.
After instructing her, Carter looked at Niamh who was looking at him dully, waiting for her to answer.
In the next second, Carter heard Niamh answering him obediently.
“I remember.”
Carter was finally relieved. He ended the hypnosis, asked Niamh to rest her eyes, and then went back to the state he was before he hypnotized her.
More than ten minutes later, Niamh opened her eyes. She looked at the empty study and got up slowly.
After Niamh got up, she glanced around.
Carter was no longer in the study. He had left her to rest on the sofa alone.
Niamh stood there as if she was thinking about something for a while. She remembered the three things Carter had briefed her not long ago.
It was more like an order than a briefing. A moment later, Niamh left the study. When she passed by the room where Kendrick was in, she involuntarily slowed down.
Coincidentally, the door to the guest room was open.
Niamh saw that Carter’s family doctor was changing Kendrick’s wound dressing, and the maid who was in charge of taking care of Kendrick was being very intimate with him.
Niamh stopped and looked at the scene seemingly calmly.
“Dr. Lane, is Mr. Waldburg’s wound healing well? Will there be any sequelae?” the maid asked, very concerned about Kendrick’s injury.
The doctor laughed when he heard that. “Mr. Waldburg only got his injury today. How could it be possible that there will be signs of healing so soon? As for whether there will be any sequelae, it is still unclear.”
“ I see…” The maid raised her eyebrows, her face full of sadness. “Dr. Lane, you’re quite skilled in medicine, so you have to help Mr. Waldburg. He is such a perfect and outstanding man, so you can’t let anything happen to his leg.”
Kendrick actually wanted to interrupt them a long time ago as he listened to the maid’s concern and worry.
However, to find out more about Niamh and Carter’s wedding tomorrow, he could only endure it.
It was just that when he inadvertently lifted his eyes, he was met with Niamh’s big and charming eyes.
“Nia.”
The word naturally came out of Kendrick’s thin lips.
When the maid heard this, she repeated suspiciously, “Nia?”
Curious, she then followed Kendrick’s gaze and saw Niamh standing at the entrance to the room.
“Miss Montgomery.”
Seeing that everyone in the room noticed her, Niamh smiled kindly and walked in.
“Miss Montgomery, ” the maid greeted respectfully. Niamh nodded slightly and walked to the bed.
When Dr. Lane saw Niamh coming, he also spoke kindly and courteously, “Miss Montgomery.”
“Dr. Lane.”
Niamh also greeted him politely and then she asked.
“Dr. Lane, how is Mr. Waldburg’s injury? If you can, I hope you can try to heal Mr. Waldburg’s leg injury as soon as possible. After all, Mr. Waldburg was injured in Carter’s home, and I don’t want Mr. Waldburg to go home with his injuries after attending me and Carter’s wedding. That would be too improper.”
After Niamh said that, she turned her gaze to Kendrick, who had been paying attention to her this whole time.
“Mr. Waldburg, you can rest assured that I’ll ensure that no matter what, you can attend our wedding in one piece, and I’ll let you go home in one piece.”
Upon hearing Niamh’s promise and looking at her clear eyes, deep down, Kendrick suddenly felt at ease.
