“No one is more qualified than Nia to come near me. Since you’ve been taking care of me for the past two days, I’ve been showing you enough respect. But if you come at my Nia, I will fight you to death.”
“L-Nia?” The maid widened her eyes in shock. “ Mr. Waldburg, did you just call her Nia?”
Kendrick did not even want to look at the maid. He grabbed the bedsheet, wrapped it around his lower body, grabbed his pants, and walked slowly to the bathroom.
Inside the room, Niamh calmly got out of the bed and, with a dark expression on her face, elegantly turned around to face the maid.
“I told you Mr. Waldburg has a woman that he loves. I told you,” Niamh said as she looked at the disheveled maid. “Now that you’ve suffered a loss, you can’t blame anyone else.”
The maid blushed and craned her neck awkwardly to argue.
“Eveline, what is the meaning of this? Who are you to Mr. Waldburg? What right do you have to say that?
Also, you’re Mr. Carter’s wife, so why are you so close with Mr. Waldburg? And why is he calling you Nia?”
“I think it’s already very obvious why Kendrick is calling me Nia, ” Niamh answered calmly.
The maid’s expression looked very unpleasant. She pointed at Niamh angrily and was about to scold her when she noticed Kendrick walking out.
He was dressed tidily, and he walked over elegantly. Even though his calf was hurt, and he walked with some difficulty, his temperament and the aura around him were not reduced in the slightest.
Aggrieved, the maid’s face fell, and she walked over to Kendrick.
“Mr. Waldburg…”
She called out to him softly, but Kendrick did not look at her and walked straight to Niamh instead.
“Nia, you remember me now, don’t you?” Kendrick’s eyes were filled with fervent longing.
Niamh looked into his eyes and nodded without hesitation. “How would I forget the man I love the most in my life?”
The corners of her lips lifted, and a sweet smile blossomed on her lips.
Kendrick’s eyes immediately sparkled with delight.
However, when the maid heard this, she was stunned. “W-What? Mr. Waldburg is the man you love the most in your life? How can you say something so shameless, Eveline? Have you forgotten that you’re Mr. Carter’s…”
“Shut up, ” Kendrick interrupted her coldly.
The maid’s body shook violently. Aggrieved and astonished, she looked at the man whose eyes were filled with anger.
“Mr. Waldburg…” “My Nia has always belonged to me, and only me. She has nothing to do with other men.”
The maid was stunned. She could not believe it and did not want to accept what she heard. As the turn of events kept replaying in her mind, a pained and conflicted expression danced on her face.
“What do you mean? What does this all mean?”
The maid looked at Niamh and Kendrick in confusion.
They were a couple?
If that was the case, why did Niamh marry Mr. Carter?
She could not wrap her head around this.
What confused her the most was why did Carter want to bring her and Kendrick together.
“Nia, there’s something I need to tell you.” Kendrick’s eyes were filled with apology.
Niamh nodded. “I know what you want to tell me. This isn’t the place to talk. We should go now. I’ve booked tomorrow morning’s flight for us, so we’ll go home tomorrow.”
Kendrick furrowed his brows in suspicion. “Won’t Carter cause trouble to you?”
Niamh smiled. “He’s helpless now.”
After Kendrick heard that, a flabbergasted look appeared on his face, and then he smiled softly and held Niamh’s hand.
The maid looked at the backs of those two who had just turned around, and the maid, unconvinced, ran to them.
“Mr. Waldburg, are you going to leave like that? That was my first time. Are you going to be so irresponsible?”
Niamh and Kendrick stopped in their tracks. When Kendrick heard what the maid said, a look of annoyance crept onto his face.
He was not in a hurry to explain anything. He looked at Niamh apologetically instead.
The maid, who was feeling even more helpless now, looked at Kendrick with tears in her unconvinced and devastated eyes.
“Mr. Waldburg, I really like you. I consented to what happened just now, and I was also happy. So please let me go with you. I will take care of you properly in the future.”
“That’s impossible, ” Kendrick said suddenly. The way he denied her was abnormally decisive and cold.
The maid’s face froze, and suddenly, her initial grievance and despair disappeared, and her expression was replaced by an aggressive look.
“Kendrick Waldburg, are you really going to be that heartless?”
The maid’s tone was provoking. She was starting to threaten him.
“Alright, if you’re going to be so heartless, don’t blame me for being immoral! Don’t even think about leaving St. Piaf tomorrow. I’ll call the police now and I’ll tell them that you forced me to engage in sexual activities with you. When that happens, none of you can leave! ”
After the maid said that, she was about to call the police.
“You’re calling the police, right? Here, I’ll let you use my phone.”
“..” The maid was at a loss when she heard what Niamh said. She looked blankly at Niamh who just handed her the phone.
Niamh smiled instead. “Aren’t you calling the police? Call them now. But when they do get here, it might be detrimental to you.”
“..” The maid was confused. She asked angrily, “
What do you mean by that, Eveline?”
“Nothing. I just hope that you remember what you said just now. You said that you consented to this and that you’re happy, didn’t you?”
“…” The maid stopped to recall what she just said. She did say something like that, but so what?
Niamh saw through what the maid was thinking at the present, and Niamh continued, “Since people around me are always framing me, I have a habit of making voice and video recordings whenever I go to a foreign place. Coincidentally,
I’ve recorded everything you said just now.”
“..” The maid’s face went pale. When she saw the confidence on Niamh’s charming face, the maid suddenly lost all confidence.
Niamh had recorded her!
This meant that even if the maid were to call the police, it would be useless because she had said that she gave her consent.
The maid, feeling extremely unconvinced, clenched her fists, gritted her teeth, and turned her attention to Niamh.
“Eveline, you’re a sick woman!”
She cursed, completely consumed by rage.
“The man you love just had sex with another woman, and you’re still able to smile so calmly. You’re insane! ”
Niamh chuckled nonchalantly after she heard that. “This is nothing. It’s normal for a man to play along. Besides, aren’t you happy? Since there was mutual consent, you can’t blame others.”
“..” The maid’s jaw dropped; she was speechless. Not knowing what to say to retort Niamh, she could only glare at Niamh.
However, Niamh was unbothered by how the maid thought of her. She put away her phone, reached out her hand to grab Kendrick’s arm, and then smiled.
“Kendrick, let’s go. I’ve called a ride. We’ll go back to the hotel first.”
Kendrick remained silent the whole time. Presently, he merely nodded obediently, and then with Niamh’s help, they left the Royal Palace of St. Piaf step by step.
On the taxi, Niamh held Kendrick’s arm and leaned her head against Kendrick’s shoulder in a cute and helpless-looking manner.
She closed her eyes lightly and felt a sense of boundless security rushing into her heart.
Kendrick held Niamh and pulled her into his broad embrace. He lowered his eyes and saw her smiling face that looked at ease, and he felt apologetic from the bottom of his heart.
“When did you recover, Nia?” Kendrick asked softly.
“Yesterday. Shirley was the one who broke the hypnosis. She’s a very smart person, but unfortunately, she used her smartness in the wrong place most of the time,” Niamh explained.
She sighed in regret, and then she smiled and lifted her beautiful big eyes to look into Kendrick’s eyes that were as gentle as water.
“That maid really likes you. But I was just scaring her. I didn’t record anything. Who asked her to scare me first? She even said she was intimate with you. I know that aside from me, you’ll never touch other women.”
Niamh’s eyes were filled with confidence, and her smile became brighter.
After hearing that, Kendrick lifted the corners of his lips into a smile, then he lowered his head and kissed her on the forehead. “Nia, I’m sorry for making you worry.”
