Niamh lifted her head and saw the side profile with amazing features.
She quickly got out of the man’s arms and walked to one side.
The man looked at Niamh. Then, his cold gaze landed on the unruly and headstrong woman.
“Who allowed you to come here? And who gave you the courage to mess with her?” he asked in dissatisfaction.
The woman bit her plump red lips. Her beautiful face was filled with grievances. “Carter Gray, how dare you speak to me this way for that woman?!”
‘Carter Gray.
‘So this man’s name is Carter Gray.’
Finally, Niamh knew.
However, she was confused about the relationship between this woman and the man.
They did not look like husband and wife. However, this woman did say she was the matriarch of this house.
“Who do you think you’re talking to right now?”
When Niamh was contemplating, she heard the man asking the woman in an extremely icy tone.
His tone sounded cold and flat, but the hidden temperament of his voice was suffocating.
Niamh saw the woman’s arrogance slowly dying down. Her tone even started to soften almost in an instant. Plus, her expression also turned from a ferocious tigress to a cute little lamb.
“Carty, I didn’t mean to be this fierce. However, you didn’t contact me for so many days and you’re even keeping this woman with you. As your fiancée, of course, I’ll mind and get jealous.”
She was his fiancée.
Niamh immediately understood. However, she just felt that this woman was extremely passionate about Carter, but she could see that this man did not have any special feelings for this woman. He even looked a little annoyed at her.
Niamh heard the man scoffing in the next minute.
“Are you seriously so innocent to think that you’re the future matriarch of the Grays just because that old man said he wants to play matchmaker for us?”
After the woman heard that, the smile on her beautiful face started fading. “Carty, what do you mean? I really like you. Also, Aunty said—”
“I’ll never marry you,” Carter answered straightforwardly, not giving her any chances.
The woman frowned while looking depressed. Then, she bit her red lip as her face became filled with reluctance. “Why? I’m so gorgeous and have such a hot body. Plus, I like you so much too! Why won’t you marry me?”
“…”
Niamh felt a little helpless when she heard this question.
If she was able to make someone she liked reciprocate her feelings for him based on all of that, then this relationship would be too shallow.
However, Niamh could tell that Carter did not want to quibble with the woman anymore. Plus, he was also tired of explaining. As such, he lowered his head to look at Niamh.
“Come upstairs with me.”
“Oh,” Niamh responded to him and then followed the man as he turned around.
“Carter, are you abandoning me because of that woman?”
The woman questioned in dissatisfaction. She ran furiously in front of Niamh and stared at Niamh’s bright, beautiful eyes.
“I want to see how beautiful she is and how she’s able to defeat me to win the heart of the viscount of the noble Louis family!”
Niamh did not have time to digest Carter’s identity that was exposed by the woman before she saw her hand reaching over to try to remove her mask.
However, the moment she lifted her hand, Carter grabbed it tightly once again.
“Enough.”
He pushed the woman’s hand away in displeasure, causing the woman to stumble backward.
“Carter, how dare you push me for another woman?!”
However, Carter completely ignored the woman’s feelings. A piercing cold glint appeared from the bottom of his eyes as he reminded her coldly.
“I’m warning you, don’t touch my person.”
“…”
His person?
When did she become his person?
Niamh knew clearly in her heart that this man was only using her to get rid of the woman.
However, he did not give her any chance to explain before he grabbed her wrist suddenly and walked upstairs.
“Carter! Carter!” The woman yelled angrily behind them in dissatisfaction, but the man did not have the desire to stop at all.
As they were going upstairs, Niamh tried to remove herself from the man’s grip several times. However, he only grabbed her even tighter.
“She can’t see us anymore, so can you let go now, Mr. Carter?” Niamh asked in displeasure.
Carter stopped walking and turned back to look at Niamh. When he saw the resistance and dissatisfaction in Niamh’s eyes, he let go immediately.
“Come in.” He walked into the study first.
Niamh followed after him. She remembered his identity that the woman had just exposed and asked after pondering for a few seconds. “Your name is Carter Grey?”
The man paused for a while before nodding lightly. “I trust that you haven’t forgotten about the fact that I saved your life?”
He asked suddenly, and Niamh could vaguely feel that that man might be trying to request something from her. She nodded nonchalantly. “Of course, I won’t forget. You saved my life.”
“Good,” the man said and looked into Niamh’s eyes. “So, from now on, you’re my fiancée.”
“…”
Niamh had already predicted this, but she did not expect it to be true.
Of course, she did not want to play a role like this. “Mr. Carter, no one will believe that a noble young master like you will be attracted to a woman who has been disfigured to this extent.”
After she said that, the look on Carter’s eyes when he looked at Niamh changed subtly. Of course, he did not forget how someone had just exposed his identity downstairs just now.
Even though Niamh might not know what kind of family was the Louis family, she could at least analyze it a little.
“You don’t need to worry about whether people will believe us or not. You just have to cooperate with me.” Carter was determined, and he did not want to give Niamh any chance of rejecting him.
She was left with no options. The only thing she was wishing for right now was to not run into the woman again. If not, she would be annoyed to death.
Niamh found a reason to get out of the house. Then, unbeknownst to her, she arrived downstairs at Waldburg Corporation.
She never knew that the wind on an autumn afternoon could be so cold.
She initially wanted to wait here to see if she could run into Kendrick. However, to her surprise, she spotted an ad for a job vacancy.
Waldburg Manor wanted to hire a maid.
Niamh had the idea to go for the interview. When she arrived at the gates of Waldburg Manor, she saw that there were a lot of people here for the interview as well. Plus, there were also a lot of beautiful young girls in line.
Through their conversation, Niamh knew that the Waldburgs were looking for someone to take care of Eloise.
‘Mom.’
Niamh’s heart started to ache.
It had been so long and Eloise still had not recovered.
“Mr. and Mrs. Waldburg are back!”
“What a match made in heaven.”
“If I can become the maid for the Waldburgs, it’ll be such a blessing because I can see Mr. Waldburg every day!”
Niamh finally understood why so many young girls were here for the interview. Soon after, she saw Kendrick and the woman impersonating her walking out together from the front door.
While looking at the man who was walking toward her, Niamh could feel her heart beating erratically again.
When she was wondering how she could ace the interview, she suddenly noticed Kendrick walking straight to her.
Niamh did not expect this.
At that moment, she did not know what to do.
