“I told you that you misheard it. Hurry up and finish your cigarette so we can go back. We’ll be finished if Mr. Waldburg comes back and sees us slacking off.”
The two bodyguards exchanged a few more words before turning off the lights and walking away.
After they closed the door, Kendrick finally let go of Niamh’s lips from behind the door.
The moment he separated from her, Niamh slapped him once more.
He could not see her expression in the dark, but he could feel her anger and resentment toward him.
His face was turned to one side, and he could not remember how many slaps he had received.
The only woman who had slapped him in his life was Niamh.
“Get lost. Get lost now! I said I don’t want to see you.” Niamh lowered her voice and chased him away coldly.
“You don’t want to see me but you so desperately want to see Felipe?” the man asked sarcastically, his jealousy evident. “You escaped from the hospital even when your body hasn’t recovered so that you could come back for his comfort and safe harbor, right?”
“Yes! I don’t want to see you and I only want to see Felipe. Are you happy now? Are you happy, Kendrick? Get lost!”
“I won’t.” Suddenly, he grabbed her hand and pulled her into his arms. “Eveline, the more you don’t want to see me, the more I want to appear in front of you.”
“Lead the way. We’ll go to your room.” He requested.
Niamh did not move.
Kendrick could not handle Niamh ignoring him.
“Nia, don’t force me.” He threatened her in a low voice. “Take me to your room.”
“So what if I am forcing you? Are you going to kill me too? If you can do it, then go ahead.”
Kendrick had no choice after he heard what she said. He grabbed her hand and pulled her into the house. Then, they went upstairs. After some time, he finally found Niamh’s room.
He pulled her into the room and locked the door.
Niamh tried her best to escape from Kendrick’s grip. “Let go, Kendrick.”
The man pulled her in front of him, his handsome face magnifying in front of her eyes.
Niamh turned her face away and showed Kendrick her icy side profile.
“Felipe will be back soon. If you don’t leave now, then you’ll never get a chance to.” Niamh reminded him coldly.
“Are you concerned about me? My ex-wife is concerned about me?” Kendrick’s voice was mixed with a hint of laughter. However, it was also filled to the brim with sarcasm.
His warm fingers pinched Niamh’s chin, forcing her to face him.
He felt a pang of pain in his heart when he saw her red and teary eyes.
“Eveline, am I really such a cold-blooded and heartless man in your heart? You ask me to believe you, but have you ever believed me?”
After he said that, Niamh felt her heart shaking.
At this moment, they heard the sound of a car downstairs. Felipe was back.
Kendrick walked to the window and took a look. However, he did not panic at all. “I won’t go anywhere for the time being. I’ll just stay here.”
“Kendrick, are you insane?”
“Yes, I am insane. I’ve already lost all reason the moment you told me you don’t love me.”
“…” Niamh wanted to cry and laugh when she heard what he said. “If you really love me so much, then you wouldn’t have killed my child so cruelly!”
After Kendrick heard what Niamh said and looked at her pained expression, he could not endure this anymore.
At this moment, Niamh clearly had no idea that after she was carried onto the operating table, Kendrick started regretting his decision the moment she was sedated.
He had barged into the operating theatre and brought her away while she was unconscious.
He did not know whether it was right or wrong for him to do that, but he knew if he did not stop the procedure, he would regret it for the rest of his life.
He could not handle the consequences of losing her again.
On the other hand, he never wanted to make her cry.
However, it was evident that Niamh was so devastated that she did not know she was fine. She also did not know that the child was still growing in her stomach.
However, it would be impossible for Niamh to be ignorant about this forever.
She might notice this soon.
After all, a life was inside of her.
Yet, this child could not stay.
He could not watch her get sick like how she did back then without doing anything.
Click.
The doorknob turned, then the sound of knockings came from the door.
“Eveline, it’s me.”
Felipe’s voice came from the other side of the door.
Kendrick walked behind Niamh and held her. Then, he mumbled in her ear.
“Tell him to go away.”
Niamh scowled at Kendrick coldly. “You’re the one who should go away.”
The man chuckled lowly. “I’ll stay with you even if I die.”
Knock, knock.
Felipe knocked on the door again.
“Eveline, if you don’t open this door right now, I’ll unlock it with my key.”
Then, Niamh heard the sound of the keys jingling after he finished saying that.
She did not have a choice. She grabbed Kendrick and pulled him into the bathroom before turning on the shower.
Felipe went into the room and heard the sound from the bathroom. He figured perhaps Niamh had not heard him because she was in the shower. He had thought too much. However, when he lowered his gaze, his eyes stopped for a few seconds on the floor.
Felipe walked to the door of the bathroom. “Eveline, it’s me. I have something to tell you after you’re done. I’ll be waiting for you out here.”
“Got it,” Niamh replied.
Then, Niamh started taking off her clothes in front of Kendrick. After that, she put on a bathrobe and pretended that she had just finished showering.
Kendrick hugged Niamh when he saw her turning off the shower and was about to go out. His deep voice was filled with warning. “Don’t let him touch you. If not, you won’t get any peace tonight.”
Niamh did not answer Kendrick. After he let go of her, she walked out and closed the door behind her.
Felipe heard Niamh walking out and turned off his phone. Then, he looked at Niamh. “You were in a bad mood just now. What happened?”
His tone was laced with concern while his eyes looked kind.
Niamh shook her head. “I’m fine.”
Felipe reached out his hand and placed it on Niamh’s stomach. “Is the child giving you a hard time? Our baby is so cheeky.”
His movement was too sudden and Niamh immediately moved away from him.
However, perhaps it was repulsion or rejection, Niamh suddenly felt nauseous.
She held her stomach reflexively as the familiar feeling of morning sickness came crashing against her.
Niamh covered her mouth. When she was about to go into the bathroom, she remembered Kendrick who was hiding inside and stopped in her tracks.
Felipe looked at Niamh’s sudden movement profoundly, then at the footprints on the floor that did not belong to her nor him.
“Eveline, do you want to vomit? I’ll help you to the bathroom.” Felipe placed his hand on Niamh’s shoulder.
Niamh wanted to stop him, but Felipe was already walking over to the bathroom like he had a purpose and soon pulled the door open.
This made Niamh’s heart leap into her mouth.
However, what shocked her the most was that the bathroom was empty and Kendrick was nowhere to be seen.
