“Hot…” Niamh muttered, “I’m so hot. Water…”
“Nia, bear with this. I’m taking you home now.” Kendrick held her and felt that there was something wrong with Niamh’s body temperature.
At this moment, she was like a clingy kitten as she nuzzled against him. It was as if she was looking for something to cool herself down.
Kendrick’s Adam’s apple bobbed. He clenched his fists and suppressed the emotions that his heart elicited.
However, Niamh’s voice was getting more and more amorous. As such, Kendrick asked the driver to stop at a hotel nearby and got a room for her.
When they were at the door, Kendrick kicked the door open and brought Niamh into the bathroom.
He turned on the shower and fetched her a glass of cold water. “Nia, have some water.”
Niamh took two sips of the water groggily, but she was still feeling extremely hot.
She lifted her intoxicated face and narrowed her stunning eyes to look at the man in front of her.
After a few seconds, she lifted her hand and grabbed his collar. Then, she pushed him against the wall dominantly.
Niamh’s red face was getting closer and closer to Kendrick’s.
Kendrick had never seen Niamh like this.
She was trapping him against the wall. At this moment, her eyes were so soft and she looked so enchanting. His rationale was slowly slipping away the more he looked at her beauty.
“Nia,” he called out her name as his Adam’s apple bobbed.
Niamh was not thinking clearly and she felt as if a flame was crawling up her body.
She was longing for water, longing to soothe this heat inside of her.
The person in front of her might be able to help her.
She got closer to him and looked into his eyes. Their breaths started intertwining.
Kendrick caressed her long hair. His narrow eyes were so soft, looking like pools of water. “Nia…”
“Yeah,” Niamh replied. To Kendrick, this was the best reply he could expect to hear from her.
He could not control himself anymore. He grabbed her head and pressed a kiss onto her lips.
Niamh closed her eyes without being able to control herself. She allowed this strange feeling to lead her into Kendrick’s arms…
After a night of joy.
Kendrick finally was able to have a good night’s sleep.
The first thing he did when he woke up in the morning was to look at the woman who was sleeping soundly in his arms.
Her alluring face, her eyes, her nose, and her lips were so beautiful.
Kendrick leaned down and pressed a soft kiss on Niamh’s forehead.
When he recalled what happened last night, he felt slightly remorseful.
They were naked, but they had not gotten to the final step last night.
Perhaps he could have ignored Niamh’s feelings back then, but now, he was extremely concerned about her.
He did not want to take advantage of her when she was at her most vulnerable and he did not want anything to happen between them when she was not in the right state of mind.
He was scared that Niamh would hate him more when she woke up and found out he did something unspeakable to her when she was drugged.
Despite Niamh kissing him, hugging him, and nuzzling against him last night, he still suppressed his primal urges and carried her into the bathtub for a cold bath.
Even though it was a pity, he did not regret it.
He was more than happy to be able to do this with her.
Kendrick thought about this and held Niamh’s shoulder. “Nia, I’m so happy to be able to share the same bed with you,” he muttered softly when suddenly, he felt the person in his arms moving.
He was worried that Niamh would be unhappy if she saw him after she woke up, so he got out of the bed quietly to clean himself up in the bathroom.
After that, Niamh woke up slowly. When she opened her eyes, she realized she was wearing a loose bathroom in a strange bed. However, her sharp sense of smell detected a familiar scent.
This was Kendrick’s scent and it was still lingering around her.
Niamh’s heartbeat sped up as she recalled what happened last night.
She figured that she was drunk, so Felipe brought her back to his place. However, after that, she only remembered being with Kendrick.
It seemed that she had even voluntarily kissed him.
Niamh’s face heated up when she thought about that.
Why would she do something like that?
She did not understand what was going on. Then, as she got out of the bed, she turned her head to see Kendrick walking out of the bathroom right after he cleaned himself up.
The morning light shone down on his charming face. He looked at her with a grin, “Nia, you’re awake.”
“…” Niamh was taken aback. She could not make the temperature of her face go down.
She nodded and walked past Kendrick to go into the bathroom.
She washed her face with cold water and tried to remember what happened last night. However, her memories were extremely fragmented.
She only remembered pouncing onto Kendrick, and she lost all memories after that.
‘Did I do it with him?’
Niamh felt her ears heat up. Suddenly, she saw a suspicious mark on her neck when she looked into the mirror.
After she finished cleaning herself up, she saw a note that Kendrick left. There was only a simple sentence: [Nia, I’m going to send Jack to school. You can stay here and sleep for a bit.]
He did not mention anything about last night and sounded natural.
Niamh looked at the note Kendrick left and started spacing out.
She looked at his neat handwriting and suddenly, she remembered the confession she saw on the notebook in the restaurant near Glendale University. [Niamh Delgado, I like you.]
Now, Niamh realized that Kendrick was the one who left the anonymous note.
He had already taken a liking to her when she was in her first year.
However, he hid his fondness toward her.
When Nevaeh impersonated her, he could only stop himself from pursuing her because of the promise he made in his childhood.
Niamh left the hotel, and when she stepped out of the building, she received a call from Felipe.
He asked her about what happened last night. Then, he also told her that Kendrick forcefully took her away after she got drunk and how he was extremely worried.
Drunk.
Niamh knew something was wrong with those two glasses of red wine.
It was impossible for her to feel like that after two drinks.
At this moment, Felipe was enjoying his breakfast in the yard. Suddenly, someone came and told him that Niamh was here.
He lowered his head to ponder, then when he lifted his head again, he saw Niamh walking toward him.
He placed his cutlery down and smiled at Niamh. He still retained his gentlemanly demeanor.
“Eveline, it’s great that you’re okay.” He sighed a breath of relief. “I was so worried when Kendrick barged into my place and took you away from me forcefully.”
Niamh let him finish before asking, “Felipe, was I really drunk last night?”
After she asked that, Niamh could see an ominous glint in Felipe’s eyes. However, he acted extremely calm and composed.
“It’s a new wine, so you might not be used to it and that’s why you got drunk so easily.” He gave her such an explanation.
Niamh smiled, her eyes looking like voids. “Is that so?”
“I think so,” Felipe replied and walked in front of her. “Eveline, too many things have been happening recently and I want to take you somewhere to clear your head.”
“Alright, I want to go somewhere with you as well.”
Felipe beamed when Niamh agreed to it.
