It was already dusk, and the scenery of Glendale was stunning through the french windows.
Kendrick looked at the children while beaming. His smile grew wider as he watched them happily eating.
When the dessert arrived, Kendrick looked to one side unintentionally and saw Niamh’s smiling face.
“Nia?”
He was surprised, but then, he spotted Felipe as well.
Was his Nia having a candlelit dinner with Felipe?
They looked like they were leaving.
Kendrick could not control himself, so he got up and chased after them.
“Daddy, where are you going?”
After Jackson asked that question, Kendrick realized that he was here to have dinner with his children.
However, he could not ignore the fact that Niamh was leaving with Felipe.
Niamh left the restaurant with Felipe, and on their way out, she felt her head getting heavier and heavier.
Not only that, but her heart started beating very fast and her face also started to heat up.
She only drank two glasses of wine just now, so she could not be drunk.
The driver drove the car in front of them and Felipe opened the door for Niamh politely.
Niamh was about to walk over when she felt weak all of a sudden. When she was about to fall, Felipe ran up to her and pulled her into his arms.
“Eveline,” he called out to Niamh gently. Even though Niamh had not completely lost her consciousness, her mind was starting to drift.
Felipe lowered his dark and unreadable eyes, looking at the dizzy woman in his arms. Then, the corners of his lips curled into a smirk.
Kendrick asked the waiter to keep an eye on the children and made up an excuse to go to the restroom. However, when he walked out of the place, he saw Niamh in Felipe’s arms. In addition to that, Felipe even leaned down to kiss Niamh’s forehead. After that, he picked up Niamh bridal style.
At this moment, Kendrick was truly hoping that his vision had not recovered.
What he saw hurt him a lot.
His brain went blank when he saw Niamh allowing Felipe to carry her without protesting as they got into the car and left.
‘Nia, at the end of the day, you still don’t want to give me a chance.
‘In the end, you still chose Felipe, huh?’
As he watched the car drive away, he stood in the cold autumn wind and felt as if his heart had plunged into an ice cave. It was so bone-chillingly cold.
Felipe had planned this dinner tonight.
At this moment, he lifted his hand and caressed her heated face as he looked at Niamh who was leaning against his shoulder. Her face was extremely red.
“Eveline, I’ll treat you better than Kendrick.
“I’ll give you everything he can’t give you,” he said before kissing Niamh’s hair. There was a devious smirk on his handsome face. “Eveline, you’re mine.”
Niamh could hear someone talking to her vaguely. However, her mind was all over the place and her body was so hot that she felt horrible.
After some time, the car stopped and Niamh felt someone carrying her.
Cathy knew Felipe had gone out to have a candlelit dinner with Niamh and was feeling disappointed about it. Suddenly, she saw Felipe walking into the house with Niamh sleeping groggily in his arms.
“Felipe.” Cathy walked over to him and looked at Niamh whose face was abnormally red. “What happened to Evie? Should I call a doctor?”
Felipe did not look at Cathy before carrying Niamh upstairs.
“Felipe…”
“Get away from me.” Felipe spat out a cold and emotionless command.
Cathy felt heartbroken, but she could only watch as Felipe carried Niamh into the bedroom.
She could imagine what Felipe was trying to do with Niamh and she fell into a contradicting emotional turmoil.
She knew she could not stop Felipe from doing what he wanted to do, but she also knew that Niamh did not have any romantic feelings for Felipe.
If something happened between them in these circumstances, as a woman, Cathy felt that Niamh would feel extremely tormented.
However, what could she do to stop the man she loved?
Felipe carried Niamh to the bed. She leaned against the bed groggily, her mouth feeling dry.
She opened her hazy eyes and saw Felipe’s face vaguely. “Felipe, I want to drink water…”
Felipe fetched her a glass of warm water when he saw that she was still slightly conscious.
He helped Niamh up and handed her the water. “Eveline, here’s the water.”
Niamh reached out to grab the glass, but when she touched it, her hand dropped lifelessly all of a sudden. Her head also fell onto Felipe’s shoulder soon after.
The glass fell onto the carpet under her feet with a muffled thud.
It was all according to his plan.
Felipe smirked and put Niamh onto the bed. Then, he removed her coat and undid her buttons one by one.
Cathy was still contemplating how to stop Felipe when she heard hurried footsteps coming from outside the door.
She turned around in curiosity and saw a tall figure getting closer to her. Then, a handsome face appeared in her vision. Meanwhile, the man’s face was covered with worry and concern.
“Are you… Kendrick Waldburg?” Cathy recognized him.
Kendrick finally spotted Cathy. His gaze looked solemn as he asked, “Where’s Felipe? Where did he take Nia?”
Cathy let out a sigh of relief and pointed at Felipe’s room without hesitation.
Kendrick sped over and kicked open Felipe’s door.
When he saw Niamh lying on the bed half-naked, he clenched his fists and grabbed Felipe’s collar. He was glaring at Felipe with his eyes like knives.
“Felipe, you b*stard! What are you trying to do to Nia?”
Felipe dodged Kendrick’s punch and lifted his sharp gaze calmly. Then, he replied in an icy tone, “The woman on the bed belongs to me. What do you think I’m about to do to her?”
“Nia doesn’t even love you, so you best get rid of that thought!” Kendrick pushed Felipe away and leaned down to button Niamh’s clothes. Then, he picked her up. “Felipe, you’re so despicable for trying to get a woman this way.”
He mocked sarcastically before leaving with Niamh in his arms.
Felipe pressed his lips together, his eyes engulfed by flames of anger. They looked horrifying.
“Heh.” He scoffed. He removed his tie with his long and slender fingers, but the fire was still raging in his chest.
Then, he made a call.
After a while, Nevaeh appeared in front of him timidly.
Felipe’s gaze became more and more terrifying as he looked at the scarred face.
“Do you know why I saved your life and asked you to get plastic surgery to look like Eveline?” Felipe’s voice was like a bone-piercing chill. “I asked you to do something and you didn’t even carry it out properly. I wanted Kendrick to be blind forever but he miraculously regained his vision. Hmm?”
“I… I had no idea that he has regained his vision…” Nevaeh’s voice was shaking as she was petrified. “Mr. Waldburg, please give me another chance. I’ll do what you want perfectly. I’ll make sure that Niamh and Kendrick won’t end up together!”
Felipe looked at the face that was similar to Niamh’s and said coldly, “Listen closely to what you have to do next. If there are any mistakes, you’re going straight to hell.”
…
On the other side, Kendrick carried Niamh into the taxi.
He was heartbroken when he saw Niamh frowning in pain.
He was feeling dispirited a while ago in front of the restaurant as he thought that Niamh had chosen Felipe.
However, he felt something was amiss when he recalled how she did not reject the kiss that morning.
His Nia was not a two-timing woman. She would only have him and him only in her heart.
Indeed, he could tell that Felipe had drugged her from looking at the state she was in. That was why she was only half-conscious.
He felt lucky that he had followed them. On the way, he called Eloise to tell her to pick the children up from the restaurant.
