The person on the other end received Ryan’s instructions and immediately followed suit.
Currently in Ryan’s car.
A shiny dagger was pressed against Niamh’s neck, and in front of her, she saw Naomi clutching the steering wheel with one hand and squirming away frantically.
She drove the car awkwardly and had run a few red lights.
Niamh had just settled the matter of the charity night two days ago and only spared some time today to have a meal with Ryan. She did not expect Naomi to come to troubling them again at this moment.
Niamh felt exhausted at first and was even more exhausted now. She remained calm and composed, however.
“Naomi, even if you wish to kill me, there’s no need to pay for it with your own life.”
“Eveline, shut up!” Naomi shouted at Niamh to shut her up ferociously. She turned her head and glared at her. “Eveline, you made me a joke in front of all those netizens, so I’ll make you the laughingstock of the society today!
“If it weren’t for you, I would’ve been Ryan’s wife and the young lady of the Joneses! I’ll have my revenge today!”
Listening to Naomi’s hysterical words, Niamh thought that Naomi was a little crazy.
She saw a car following closely in the rear-view mirror and guessed that it was probably Ryan. She could not guess where Naomi was taking her, though.
Naomi drove the car to a remote place and stopped. She forced Niamh out of the car, turned on her phone, and pointed the camera at Niamh.
“Eveline, take off your clothes!” she threatened with a dagger, “Quickly take them off!”
Niamh understood Naomi’s methods to make her a laughingstock, but of course, she would not listen to Naomi.
“Naomi, if you really dare, then just stab me. It’s not as if I haven’t experienced any pain in this life. Do you think you can threaten me with this?”
Seeing Niamh being so calm and composed, Naomi became furious.
“Eveline, are you really not afraid? Alright then, I’ll ruin your face first and see how you’ll seduce Ryan in the future!”
Naomi waved her knife and was about to cut Niamh’s face when Ryan just arrived.
“Stop!”
He shouted at Naomi to stop, his handsome and gentle face filled with sorrow and worry.
Naomi reacted quickly, pulling Niamh’s dagger against Niamh’s neck.
She was jealous of Ryan being worried about Niamh and yelled at Ryan unwillingly, “Ryan, you were never this worried about me before!
“Did you ever truly like me in the two years you were with me?!
“I love you so much, but you! You like this divorced b*tch who has already given birth to children! What’s so good about her?”
Naomi became more agitated as she spoke and accidentally cut the skin on Niamh’s neck with the dagger.
Niamh felt a little bit of pain. She wanted to counter Naomi, but Naomi was out of control and could easily be triggered to act out of desperation.
Ryan, however, did not want to stay still for a second longer when he saw Niamh’s bleeding wound.
Although he was very anxious, he was still very calm and composed.
“Naomi, don’t do anything that you’ll regret even more in the future. Tell me, what will it take for you to release Eveline?”
“I want you to marry me and take me as your wife!” Naomi said her request.
Ryan’s eyes darkened slightly. “It’s impossible for me and you anymore.”
When Naomi heard this, she was obviously irritated.
“It’s impossible for you to be with me, is that right? You want to be with Eveline, is that right? Alright, I’ll die with her now!” It was as if Naomi had been possessed by the devil. She held the knife and was about to swing the blade down to stab Niamh in the heart.
When Niamh was about to dodge, she suddenly saw Ryan reaching into his suit and pulling out a revolver from behind him. He aimed it at Naomi’s knife and shot.
The bullet landed precisely on the handle of the knife. The impact caused Naomi to immediately let go from the pain, and the knife fell to the ground.
While Niamh was still shocked by Ryan’s action, Ryan had already run up to her, took out a handkerchief, and pressed it on her bleeding neck. “Eveline, are you okay?”
Seeing that Ryan was so worried about Niamh, Naomi picked up the dagger, got up, and wanted to hurt Niamh again.
Naomi’s hand that was raised suddenly rubbed against the hot bullet.
She screamed in pain. The knife fell aside, and there was a fiery pain in her palm.
Ryan turned his head and realized that he had been negligent just now, almost allowing Naomi to hurt him and Eveline. Fortunately, however, someone was protecting him in secret.
Just then, his mobile phone rang. Ryan answered it when he saw the incoming call. He then said to Niamh with his back facing her, “Let’s return to the team.”
Although his voice was very soft, Niamh still heard it.
Without too much delay, Ryan grabbed Niamh’s shoulders and took her back to the car.
Naomi cried out wildly with jealousy, “Ryan, I’m also injured! Why do you only have her in your eyes!”
“You are to blame.” Ryan did not even look at Naomi and left a warning. “You should behave yourself.”
“Ryan!”
Naomi gritted her teeth before grabbing the dagger and stabbing it fiercely into the mud.
Ryan took Niamh to the hospital to treat her wound. On the way back, the atmosphere in the car was too quiet.
“Eveline, do you have anything to ask me?” Ryan took the initiative to break the silence.
Niamh nodded, then shook her head again. “I’ll ask when you wish to tell me.”
Ryan looked at Niamh unexpectedly and felt extremely happy all of a sudden. “Eveline, thank you for your understanding. It’s indeed not the time now, and the less you know, the safer you will be.”
Hearing this, Niamh felt that Ryan’s background was not as simple as it seemed. It probably had something to do with the profession he talked about last time.
Niamh did not ask any more questions. After returning to Waldburg Manor, Karen informed her that the child had fallen asleep in her room.
Niamh returned to her room and saw the little babies sleeping peacefully on the bed. At this scene before her, she felt content.
Being too tired these few days due to what was going on, Niamh picked up her pajamas tiredly and went into the bathroom to take a bath.
Not long after she entered the bathroom, the door was gently pushed open.
Kendrick walked to the cradle, looking like a thief. He was stealing this moment to spend it with the little baby.
The sleeping baby seemed to be hungry and opened his sleepy eyes in a daze.
When he was about to cry, Kendrick then saw the baby bottle that had been placed at the side and quickly picked the little baby up to feed him.
Looking at the little baby drinking comfortably in his arms, Kendrick’s vision was clouded with mist.
“Pudding, I don’t know how many more times Dad can visit you, or maybe this is the last time. You have to listen to your mom. When you grow up, you have to help me protect your mother with your brother and also your sister, okay?”
He had just finished speaking when he heard Niamh coming out after taking a bath. He quickly put the little baby back into the cradle, but the little baby had not drunk enough. His fleshy little hands wanted to grab the bottle.
Kendrick swallowed his heart. He picked up the bottle and put it back to where it was, then turned and left.
The little baby behind him cried with a wail.
Niamh heard her son’s cry and hurriedly came out barefoot.
She hurriedly picked up the little guy to comfort him and reached out to take the bottle. However, when she brushed it with her hand, she felt that the bottle had been used before and the amount of milk in the bottle was now slightly less.
She glanced at the little bun who was still crying with a look of confusion.
It was impossible for this little baby to grab the bottle and drink it by himself.
She thought it might have been Karen who had just arrived, so Niamh did not think much of it. After patiently sleeping with the little baby, she then dried her hair and lay down on the bed.
She was very tired with the lamp on, but she did not fall asleep for a long time.
Niamh opened the bedside cabinet drawer and took out the two wedding rings as well as the shell and bookmark.
After looking carefully for a while, she put these into a jewelry box and sealed them in the underside of the cabinet.
Looking at the other side of the empty bed, she raised her hand and gently stroked the pillow.
“Why does loving you end up being like this? Kendrick, tell me why…” she asked herself softly without getting any answers.
After a long time, there was no more movement in the room.
Kendrick, who had been hiding behind the cabinet, choked on the pain quietly.
