Daniel looked at Niamh again, but the element of nostalgia was missing compared to before. His care for her now stemmed from a pure friendship.
Seeing her solemn and serious look, he asked worriedly, “Niamh, did anything happen to Felipe’s car that you’re checking it?”
Niamh pulled herself back from her thoughts, but she did not know how to express them. She had now seen another side to Felipe, the man she trusted. Meanwhile, Kendrick, the man she had always doubted, treated coldly, and even wished for his unhappiness, was silently sacrificing himself while guarding her.
“By the way, after you and Ava got drunk that day, have both of you met?” As he asked this, Daniel took a gulp of coffee while feeling guilty.
Niamh stopped her thoughts when she heard his words. “We haven’t met up since the day Ava got drunk. Is there a reason why you’re asking this, Dan?”
“No, there’s no problem.” Daniel quickly denied it. “I was simply asking.”
Niamh nodded but noticed that Daniel’s expression was a little unnatural.
Not knowing whether it was because of the hot steam from his coffee, she noticed a blush appearing on Daniel’s handsome face.
She thought for a while before saying, “I only have Ava and you. Both of you are two good friends of mine in Glendale. Although I haven’t recalled the past, to think that I was able to survive my most difficult days back then, it must be from your support.”
Niamh smiled and suggested, saying, “I’ve been back for some time now. Why don’t we find a time to get together?”
Daniel immediately agreed. “Let’s do it tonight!”
Seeing the smile on Daniel’s face, Niamh’s sixth sense told her that something might have happened between Daniel and Ava.
At this moment, Niamh received a call from Felipe.
Before today, Niamh had felt grateful whenever she was facing Felipe, but what happened earlier made Niamh feel differently now.
Felipe’s tone of speech toward Niamh was still gentle like a spring breeze. He said he had urgent matters to deal with and needed to set off to another country immediately.
Niamh coldly replied a goodbye before hanging up the call.
After separating from Daniel, Niamh returned to Kendrick’s villa.
As soon as she arrived at the door, Niamh could hear the voices of Karen and Felicity. They were talking and laughing inside.
“Aunty, the weather has turned cool and dry recently. This pumpkin spice mix will be good for you.” Felicity’s intention to fawn was obvious.
Karen liked the fawning very much and gladly accepted the gift. “Felicity, you’re really sensible. Kendrick has finally found a daughter-in-law who’s pleasant to me this time.”
“Aunty, was Kendrick’s ex-wife not good?”
“Of course, she was not good! That woman wasn’t pleasant to me at all! I hated it whenever I had to look at her. I don’t even know what Kendrick liked about her.” Karen complained while feeling dissatisfied.
Felicity’s smile grew wider when she heard this, and she began testing the waters. “I heard that there was another person named Nevaeh who was with Kendrick before Niamh. Was she not pleasant to you as well?”
“Hush hush, let’s not talk about that btch.” Karen’s expression sank. “Kendrick never liked that Nevaeh. It was merely that btch’s wishful thinking from the start till the end!
“Let me tell you about this woman. Not only was she scheming, but her intentions were much worse! What a waste it was that I had trusted her so much back then. I didn’t expect that she would be so bad that she would even dare to kill people. Now that she has been shot dead, she totally deserves it!”
Listening to this, Felicity’s expression collapsed.
Her expression darkened and she was holding back her emotions when she caught a glimpse of a slender figure who was walking in gracefully.
Felicity quickly put away the dissatisfaction in her eyes. She appeared surprised as she said, “Miss Delgado?”
Niamh raised her lips and said, “My name’s Eveline Montgomery. You can call me Miss Montgomery.”
Karen turned her head abruptly when she heard the sounds. “Niamh Delgado? What are you doing here again?” She opened her mouth and questioned immediately, showing her an unpleasant expression.
Ignoring Karen and Felicity, Niamh walked in freely. “I’m here to find my ex-husband who has become blind because of me. I’m not looking for you, so you’d better shut up.”
“You…” Karen’s face turned pale out of anger.
Felicity quickly retorted, “Miss Montgomery, how can you talk to Aunty like this? After all, you’re Kendrick’s ex-wife.”
Niamh’s beautiful eyes looked up a little as she glanced at Felicity who had a smile on her face. “You’re Ms. Walker, right? I’ve always talked like this. If you don’t like the way I talk, perhaps you can choose to not listen to me. Besides, you’ve said so yourself that I’m Kendrick’s ex-wife. Since I’m his ex- wife, why should I be nice to my ex-in-law?”
“…”
Felicity did not expect Niamh to be so witty and was speechless for a while. She could only look at her with a helpless and hurt facial expression.
Karen did not want to be embarrassed in front of Felicity and raised her hand to teach Niamh a lesson.
However, when she stretched out her hand, Kendrick said, “What are you trying to do?”
Felicity was expecting Niamh to get slapped and did not expect Kendrick’s prompt appearance. “Miss Montgomery, are you here to see me?” he asked Niamh.
Niamh looked at him. “Yes.”
Kendrick seemed to pause before he casually said, “If I remember correctly, you just said that we won’t ever meet again, Miss Montgomery.”
“If I remember correctly, Mr. Waldburg, you seem to have said that I’ll always be in your heart.”
“…”
Upon hearing that, Kendrick’s facial expression changed. He suddenly remembered the words he uttered in the direction where Niamh had left.
‘Could it be that Nia was still there at the time?
‘Did she hear what I said?’
Looking at the lively back and forth between Niamh and Kendrick, Karen and Felicity were both confused and displeased.
“Kendrick, I’ve invited Ava and Dan to meet and have dinner tonight at a restaurant near Glendale University. I’ll wait for you there until ten o’clock.”
When Niamh saw Kendrick thinking deeply about it, she dropped the bomb on him and turned away before he could respond.
Karen immediately persuaded. “Kendrick, you must not go! You’ve already broken up with her. Besides, Felicity will be jealous if you go.”
“Jealous? Why should my doctor be jealous?” Kendrick smiled before going upstairs.
That night, Niamh and Ava were drinking in a small restaurant near Glendale University again.
Daniel sat by the side and looked at Ava from time to time.
She did not seem to remember what happened after she got drunk.
However, his memory of it was still fresh. Every night before going to bed, he could not help but think of the accidental kiss and her confession.
“Dan, is there something on Ava’s face? Why do you keep staring at her?” Niamh asked on purpose.
At the same time, Daniel and Ava were taken aback by her remark.
Ava looked up curiously, meeting Daniel’s slightly uneasy gaze. She then felt around her face. “Dan, is there something on my face?”
“No.” Daniel quickly denied it. “It’s just that the two of you are drinking a lot. I’m just worried that the two of you will get drunk again.”
“You have to enjoy a little! Sometimes it’s nice to get drunk. Come on, Niamh! Let’s have another shot!” Ava boldly took another shot.
Following Ava’s lead, Niamh drank a few more shots as well. When she glanced at the time, she noticed it was past nine o’clock and her phone had not rung yet. Kendrick had not shown up either.
For some reason, she felt a little empty inside.
Time slipped away silently, and it did not take long for Ava to get drunk again after drinking too much.
Niamh thought it was nice to be drunk. There was a saying that if the woman did not get drunk, the man had no chance. She looked at Daniel with great interest.
“Dan, you can send Ava back first. I want to stay here for a little longer.”
Although Daniel wanted to do that very badly, he was worried about Niamh being alone after getting drunk.
However, Niamh insisted. As such, he had no choice but to take Ava back first.
Niamh sat there alone, drinking until it was ten o’clock.
After looking at her silent phone, she slowly walked out of the restaurant.
It was drizzling, and the cold chill that accompanied the night sky blew past her.
Suddenly, people in twos and threes hurried past. When Niamh looked over by chance, she heard them say, “There’s a car accident ahead!”
“Was the man blind? The car ran straight to him!”
“That sounds horrible. He won’t be able to survive after losing that much blood.”
Niamh’s heart jumped when she heard that.
The man who was hit was blind?
‘Kendrick?’ The name popped up in her head. She turned around in a panic and ran to the scene of the car accident while braving the rain.
