At this moment, the imposter’s voice sounded from afar.
“Kendrick, Lily and Jack are here.”
Niamh was impressed. This woman could even impersonate her tone and voice so well, making herself sound similar to hers.
It seemed that Ryan had wasted a lot of effort on this woman.
However, before his plan even started, he had already given up.
Now, he had even left this world forever.
Niamh pondered silently, and from the corners of her eyes, she spotted Kendrick turning around to walk toward the woman who was impersonating her.
She could clearly see that the woman was impersonating her in every aspect. Plus, she was doing a pretty fitting job.
The woman had done a very good job on her face. Her face and features were almost the same as Niamh’s.
Perhaps it would be useless if she went up and exposed the woman straightaway.
This woman must have done a lot of preparations to be able to stand here like this. Perhaps she even knew everything about her past with Kendrick.
Niamh did not think too much about it. She followed them downstairs, and immediately, she saw Jack and Lily walking in while holding hands.
Jackson could spot the stranger in their house almost immediately.
His huge and lively eyes were on Niamh. After looking at her a little longer, the little guy asked Kendrick curiously.
“Daddy, who’s that? I think I’ve seen her before.”
When Niamh heard that, her heart warmed up.
Her son found her familiar. Perhaps this was the work of blood relations.
“This is the new maid and she’s here to take care of your granny, Jack,” Kendrick explained gently.
Jackson walked in front of Niamh when he heard that. He lifted his head, his fair and handsome face appearing before Niamh.
“Hello, miss. I’m Jackson Waldburg. This is my sister, Lillian Waldburg,” he introduced, and even though his voice sounded childish, the little guy’s manners and politeness excelled most kids that were the same age as him.
Niamh was pleased. She was beaming and wanted to reach out her hand to caress the child’s hair. However, she stopped herself.
“Hello, Jack. Hello, Lily,” she greeted. However, the children were shocked when they heard her voice.
Niamh knew how unpleasant her voice sounded right now.
However, she would not mind the children’s reaction. As long as she could see them, it would be the biggest satisfaction to her.
She smiled, and from the corner of her eyes, she could see the imposter walking toward the children.
“Jack, Lily, I haven’t seen you the entire day. Come and give me a hug.”
The imposter squatted to hug Lillian and Jackson. However, Jackson pulled Lillian away to dodge her. Then, they walked in front of Kendrick. “Daddy, we’re hungry.”
After Kendrick heard that, he asked the maids to prepare some snacks for the children.
After the children avoided the imposter, she could only smile gently even though she had started cursing violently in her heart.
Kendrick caressed Jackson’s hair. When he was about to say something, his phone rang.
He looked at the caller ID and answered, “What’s wrong?”
He asked the person on the other end of the phone lazily.
Niamh subconsciously looked at the man with the corner of her eyes. Then, she heard Kendrick exclaiming in puzzlement. “Ryan is dead?”
After Kendrick said that, Niamh noticed the woman who was impersonating her lifting her head suddenly. Plus, her expression and the look in her eyes had changed as well.
She looked as if she was in shock. However, Niamh noticed another subtle expression.
After Kendrick hung up the phone, Niamh saw the imposter recomposing her expression before walking over to ask.
“Kendrick, what did you say? Ryan is dead? He’s in jail, so how’d he die all of a sudden?” she asked, her eyes filled with intense desire for information.
Kendrick looked at the imposter and said flatly, “I don’t know the details but I know the Jones family is having a funeral. It’s confirmed that Ryan is dead.”
After he said that, Kendrick saw that the woman was taken aback. She looked as if she was in a daze.
“Nia, is it difficult for you to accept this?” he asked softly.
The imposter came back to her senses and shook her head. “Why would I be sad? He did all those things to me and tried to separate us, so why would I be sad for him? Of course not, no…”
The woman said, and toward the end, she sounded like she was mumbling to herself.
Niamh noticed something was amiss but at the same time, her phone rang.
This was the phone Carter gave her before she left. At this point in time, he was the only person who could call her.
After Niamh answered the call, she chatted briefly before hanging up.
She glanced at the imposter before walking near Kendrick. “Mr. Waldburg, I have to pack some of my clothes and daily necessities. I’ll come back later.”
“I’m going out as well. Let me drive you.”
“No need.”
“You don’t have to be so courteous. Let’s go.”
“…”
He did not give Niamh a chance to reject him at all. Kendrick went straight to the garage and drove the car in front of Niamh, who was about to leave.
He even got out of the car and opened the passenger seat for Niamh in a gentlemanly manner.
“Thank you.” After Niamh thanked him, she got into the passenger seat.
Then, she remembered how Kendrick would never allow other women to sit in his passenger seat, but on this day, not only did he voluntarily ask her to get in, but he even opened the door for her in a friendly manner.
‘Kendrick, you’re feeling something for me, right?’
Niamh pondered, and she could feel the wound in her heart starting to heal slowly.
“Where do you live, Miss Quinn?” Kendrick asked.
“You can drop me off in front of the subway station ahead, Mr. Waldburg. It’s convenient for me to go home on the subway.”
“Since you’re in my car, of course, I’ll be sending you to your door safely.”
“…”
Niamh had nothing to say to him. Why did she not know that Kendrick was such a kind-hearted person back then?
However, how could she tell him where she was living now? She had no choice, so Niamh could only tell him the name of a random apartment.
Kendrick nodded and asked, “Are you living alone, Miss Quinn?”
In order to stop Kendrick from feeling suspicious, Niamh made up a lie. “I’m staying with my boyfriend.”
However, after she said that, a child suddenly ran out to the road in front of them. Kendrick slammed his foot down on the brake but because of inertia, Niamh’s body plunged forward as she subconsciously used her hands to hold the dashboard in front of her.
Luckily, the child was not hurt and Niamh let out a sigh of relief.
However, when she was about to let go, Kendrick grabbed her left hand all of a sudden.
Niamh looked over in confusion. Then, she saw Kendrick looking at the wedding ring on her left ring finger with a piercing stare.
Niamh immediately realized something. She had not removed the ring on her ring finger, and at the same time, it was difficult for her to remove it.
She saw Kendrick looking at the ring absent-mindedly as his grip on her palm gradually tightened.
His warmth seeped from her skin to her blood, all the way into her heart.
“Why do you have this ring?” He stared into Niamh’s eyes and asked.
Since she had accepted the job offer, she knew that Kendrick would see the ring on her ring finger one day.
She smiled calmly and said, “The man I loved put this ring on me. What’s the matter?”
“Impossible.” Kendrick denied. “It’s impossible that there’s a second ring like this in this world.”
Niamh pretended to frown in confusion. “Why do you say that, Mr. Waldburg?”
