Niamh nodded with a casual expression. “Yeah, since she so firmly wants Kendrick to be responsible for her, we’ll let her be part of the family.”
“W-What?” Karen’s eyes widened in shock, completely unable to understand what Niamh meant.
“Eveline, you are crazy! Even if you agree to it, Kendrick won’t!”
“I agree too.” Kendrick’s voice suddenly slipped into her ears. Niamh and Karen looked over at him when they heard his voice. They did not know when Kendrick came downstairs.
Hannah, who was sitting on the sofa when she saw Kendrick coming over, immediately stood up. Her eyes were also filled with a lot of admiration and expectation.
“Mr. Waldburg.” She called out to Kendrick and walked toward him slowly.
Kendrick ignored Hannah. He lowered his eyes to look into Niamh’s clear eyes.
As they looked at each other and smiled, it seemed that they had an instant and tacit understanding.
Without any exchange of words between Kendrick and Niamh, Kendrick immediately raised his deep and alluring eyes to look at Hannah.
“Since you want to be part of this family so much, we’ll fulfill your wish.”
Kendrick agreed, parting his lips lightly.
Hannah widened her eyes. “Mr. Waldburg, are you serious? Are you really willing to take responsibility for me?”
Kendrick looked at Hannah without emotion. “I don’t like repeating what I’ve said.”
Upon hearing this, Hannah looked at Kendrick dazedly. After returning to her senses, a cheerful, albeit shy and embarrassed, smile gradually appeared on her face.
“Mr. Waldburg, I-I didn’t mean to make things difficult for you deliberately. I just want to stay with you and take care of you.”
Hannah expressed her feelings for Kendrick.
“I never believed in love at first sight, but since meeting you, Mr. Waldburg, I believe it. As long as I can stay by your side, I am satisfied.”
“Really?” Kendrick asked casually, and Hannah nodded repeatedly.
“Then you’ll just stay here. We need some time to deal with the procedural matters.”
“I understand! I’m not in a hurry! ” Hannah smiled, and her attitude had obviously changed.
She did not even look at Niamh and the others in the room. It was as if she could only see Kendrick.
“Mr. Waldburg, where am I sleeping tonight?” she asked. Her eyes were filled with distress and worry.
“You’re still injured, and now your hand is also wounded. I hope I can stay by your side to take care of you. Can I?”
“Of course not!” Karen rejected firmly.
As she spoke, she glared at Niamh and Kendrick unhappily, and then she started scolding them sternly.
“Are you two insane? You finally got together after so many obstacles. You got married and even have children, so what the hell are you doing now? Are you going to throw your whole family away for this lascivious woman?”
Niamh and Kendrick wanted to explain their decisions to Karen later, but Hannah immediately snapped back.
“Lascivious? Are you calling me lascivious? Mr. Waldburg and I consented to that, and it takes two to tango. So, how can you say that I am lascivious?”
Karen had not thought that this woman would dare to speak to her like this.
Her chest rose and fell fiercely. She was so angry that she could not speak for a while.
Niamh hurried to appease her. “Mom, calm down. I’ll accompany you upstairs to rest for a while.”
Karen waved her hand and her brows were furrowed tightly. “Don’t worry about me. I don’t understand what you are doing, and I don’t want to care.
Karen said and turned around. Before going upstairs, she stared at Hannah in displeasure and said, “I don’t care what you two are doing, but if you want to join this family, it’ll be over my dead body!”
Karen said harshly, her fury evident.
Niamh and Kendrick shared a look. They felt apologetic in their hearts, but now that things had turned out this way, this was the only way.
Although Hannah disliked Karen’s attitude, she was happy that she could stay here.
After working so long with the Grays, she felt that Gray Manor was very imposing and that it was not a place where anyone could enter.
Although Waldburg Manor was not as magnificent as Gray Manor, it was also the number one wealthy family in Glendale, after all. Similarly, it was not easy to enter these gates.
Once she lived with the Waldburgs, Hannah found that she did not have to be a maid like she used to.
She neither needed to clean nor wait on others. On the contrary, there were people who would wait on her, and this made Hannah feel very comfortable.
Karen really did not want to see Hannah, and she did not know what Niamh and Kendrick had planned. As such, she went to stay in Montgomery Manor. Out of sight, out of mind. She went shopping and had afternoon tea with Eloise every day, and she was much more comfortable over there.
Niamh had not paid attention to Hannah in the past two days. Her previous perfume order had not been completed, and after she completed her order, the first thing she planned to do was to go to F Country.
She was not at all worried about Hannah making a fuss. Niamh knew very well that Hannah enjoyed the life she was living now.
She even expected that Hannah would indulge in pleasures so much that she would forget that her original purpose was to pester Kendrick.
Gradually, the rumors and public opinions about Kendrick’s “extramarital affairs” faded away from the Internet, and Niamh was very satisfied with this.
In the afternoon, Niamh was blending fragrances in her laboratory. After a few hours of busywork, she finally produced a result that satisfied her.
This order had been delayed for almost a month and today, it finally came to an end.
Niamh did not even have time to take a sip of water before she picked up her tablet and recorded the data in her notes.
After finishing the recording, Niamh turned around and picked up her glass. When she was about to take a break, the glass door of the laboratory slowly opened.
Niamh raised her eyes and stopped in her tracks.
“Who let you in here?” Niamh looked at Hannah who swaggered in. “You’ re allowed to visit other places in the company. Not everyone can come in here.”
Hannah raised an eyebrow nonchalantly when she heard that. “Why can’t I come in? I can go wherever you can go. Not to mention, didn’t you agree to let me be part of the family?”
As Hannah said that, she continued walking into the room. She even raised her head and looked around. “Is this the laboratory where you create your perfume? How cute.”
She exclaimed and raised her hand to grab the perfume that Niamh had just made.
“Don’t touch it.” Niamh quickly stopped her and said sternly, “You are not allowed to touch anything here. Get out now.”
Hannah chuckled disapprovingly. “ I even touched your most important person, so what else can’t I touch?”
She said proudly. She even wanted to reach out to touch Niamh’s perfume bottle.
Niamh reached out decisively and grasped Hannah’s wrist.
Displeased, Hannah glared at Niamh. “What are you doing?”
Niamh raised her sharp and stern eyes before saying aggressively, “I said, don’t touch my things.”
After she finished reminding Hannah in a cold tone, she swung Hannah’s hand away and turned around.
“Leave. Don’t disturb my work. You can enjoy afternoon tea at this time.”
As Niamh spoke, she noticed that Hannah was not speaking, but Niamh heard some movements instead.
She turned her head to look over and found that Hannah was still reaching out and grabbing the perfume she had just made.
This was the only finished product at the present, and Niamh had made an appointment to let the client try out this perfume tonight.
Hannah noticed Niamh’s eyebrows furrowing, so she probably realized that Niamh cared about the perfume a lot.
She curled her lips into a smirk. She held the bottle of perfume high in her hand and then pretended to let go.
“Eveline, you care about this perfume a lot, don’t you?”
Hannah asked with a proud face, and then she pressed the cap of the perfume. Soon after, a distinct woody and cold fragrance wafted into their noses. It was a refreshing fragrance.
“Is this the perfume made by a senior perfumer? It smells really good, but if I let go now, will your hard work these days be wasted?”
Hannah’s words were very threatening, but Niamh laughed instead.
“So, are you trying to talk terms with me again?”
“I dared not talk terms with you. I know you’re very smart, Eveline, so…”
Hannah glanced at the bottle of perfume and lifted the corners of her lips into a sinister sneer.
Following her sinister sneer, she suddenly released her hand holding the perfume bottle.
Hannah smiled and watched the perfume bottle fall, thinking that the perfume would smash into pieces and turn into nothing.
