Niamh stopped to lift her head to look over. Then, she spotted bright fireworks blossoming in front of her eyes.
Niamh could not control herself and exclaimed, “How pretty!”
However, after she said that, Niamh felt anxious.
She remembered the state of her voice now and was worried Kendrick would see through her. However, after a while, she heard Kendrick exclaiming as well, “There are so many things in this world and none of them can compare to how good you look in my heart, Nia.”
“…”
Niamh was taken aback. Even though she was happy to receive Kendrick’s praises, she was curious. Had Kendrick not heard her voice?
Was it because the fireworks were too loud so they covered her voice and that was why Kendrick did not hear it?
Niamh thought about it and felt that this was more reasonable.
She let out a sigh of relief. She lowered her voice and looked at Kendrick. “Really? Do you mean what you said just now, Kendrick?”
Kendrick looked over to meet her expecting eyes. “Nia, I’ve always been true toward you.” His eyes were filled with passion. “No matter how time changes or if your beauty fades, in my heart, you’re always the most perfect and flawless woman.”
Niamh felt tears stinging the corners of her eyes, and she was touched. “Even if I become so hideous…”
“No matter how you become, you’ll always be the love of Kendrick Waldburg’s life.”
After she heard that, Niamh did not feel aggrieved or sad anymore.
All of the hurt she felt had been healed by this man at this moment.
When she was about to cry, Kendrick spread his arms and pulled her into his embrace.
“Nia, stop overthinking. I only have you in my life and you’re the only woman I love.” His warm promise flickered next to her ear.
Niamh nodded with tears in her eyes. Her voice shook as she said, “I know.”
She knew. She always knew that he loved her, from the start all the way till now.
After the hug, Kendrick leaned down and pressed a soft kiss on Niamh’s lips.
However, after this kiss, Niamh felt as if she was Cinderella after the clock struck 12. It was time to leave.
Coincidentally, Kendrick’s phone rang.
He picked up the phone and said after listening for a while, “Tell Lily I’m coming home now. Tell her to stop crying.”
‘Is Lily crying?’
Niamh started to feel worried. She did not know why her child was crying.
Kendrick hung up the phone and Niamh immediately grabbed him to walk back. “Why is Lily crying? Let’s go home now.”
She said frantically, completely forgetting that the fireworks had ended a long time ago…
On the way back, Niamh did not say anything. She only had Lillian in her head now.
When they were back home, Niamh hurriedly ran into the house after she got out of the car.
When she was at the door, she suddenly remembered something.
Her identity had been stolen now and there was already another Eveline inside.
Niamh thought about this in her heart and took out her mask from her pocket to quickly put it on.
After she put it on, she strode into the house.
Lillian had stopped crying and was now sitting sulkily on the sofa. Niamh wanted to go over to comfort her, but to prevent exposing herself, she quickly went upstairs to change her clothes.
When she was coming downstairs, she saw Naomi walking out of the bedroom.
Naomi was looking carefree, and of course, she would not care about why Lillian was crying.
However, Naomi noticed Niamh. When she saw Niamh in a hurry, she could guess why she was so worried.
Naomi smirked sinisterly. Suddenly, she sped up and got in front of Niamh to stop her from going downstairs.
“Get out of the way,” Niamh said coldly. She wanted to walk around Naomi but Naomi did not give up.
“Do you know why your daughter is crying?” Naomi asked this question sinisterly all of a sudden.
Niamh lifted her cold yet stunning eyes to look at her. Something clicked in her brain. “Did you bully Lily?”
“Yeah, I did. I hit her when no one was paying attention. She’s mute anyway, so she doesn’t have the ability to tell on me.”
The fire in Niamh’s heart started roaring after she heard Naomi’s answer.
Niamh did not say anything before slapping Naomi heavily on the face.
Slap!
“Ah!”
Naomi did not expect Niamh to be so decisive and quick, so she did not have the chance to dodge. In the end, she received the slap firmly.
“How dare you slap me?” Naomi growled in a low voice.
“Naomi, do you really think I won’t expose you? Do you really think you can be absolutely unrestrained? I’m warning you, you can come for me but no one’s allowed to touch my children!”
Naomi clutched her face. When she saw the sharp and piercing cold glint in Niamh’s eyes, she was shocked.
After Niamh warned her, she pushed Naomi away to go downstairs.
Naomi was bitter about the unbearable grievances. When Niamh was not paying attention, she suddenly stuck her foot out to trip Niamh.
However, it was as if Niamh was prepared. When Naomi stuck her foot out, she retracted her foot and at the same time, she grabbed Naomi.
Naomi did not expect Niamh’s reflexes to be so quick. She was caught off guard after she was pulled and missed her footing before falling down the stairs. With a loud and muffled thud, she rolled down the stairs.
“Ah!”
Naomi then rolled all the way to the first floor while accompanied by her pained screams.
When Kendrick saw this after he walked through the door, he stood motionless in surprise. However, he did not go over to help Naomi up even after a long while.
Karen was in the living room, completely stunned when she saw this. She quickly placed Pudding down and ran over to Naomi.
“Eveline, are you okay? How did you fall from the stairs?”
Karen asked in concern and quickly helped Naomi up.
Naomi clutched her waist and glared resentfully at Niamh from the corner of her eyes. However, she could only get angry without making any complaints.
It did not seem like something Niamh would do if she told on her.
However, after what happened last time, she did not know whether Niamh would have something else to get back at her again.
She did not want to make a fool of herself in front of Kendrick and the Waldburgs again.
“Eveline, where did you hurt yourself? Do you need to go to the hospital?” Karen looked all over Naomi and was worried that Naomi might have gotten herself hurt.
Naomi was indeed in a lot of pain, especially her waist. However, she could only endure it.
“Mom, I’m fine. Don’t worry, I’m just too worried about Lily and want to comfort her, so that’s why I was in a hurry,” Naomi explained and packaged herself as a good mother.
Now, Karen was even more heartbroken. When she spotted Kendrick walking over from the door, she called out hurriedly, “Kendrick, it’s good that you’re back. Eveline fell from the stairs. Come quickly to comfort your wife.”
However, Kendrick looked indifferent when he heard this. “I heard. It’s good that she’s fine.”
He said flatly and looked at Niamh who was making her way downstairs. Then, he looked at Lillian who was sitting silently on the sofa.
“Lily, why did you cry? Do you miss Daddy?” Kendrick hurried over to ask Lillian.
Lillian lifted her eyes that looked as beautiful as the stars. She glanced at Naomi before burying her face into Kendrick’s chest like a scared deer.
“Daddy.”
The little princess called out to Kendrick childishly.
Kendrick felt his heart melting at that instant. He picked up Lillian and ignored his youngest son before going upstairs.
Niamh was on her way downstairs when she saw Kendrick walking over with Lillian. She had a strong urge to hold the child and comfort her. At the same time, she wanted to know where Naomi hurt Lillian. However, she did not have a reason to hold Lillian.
At the same time, Lillian, who was in Kendrick’s arms, lifted her head to look at Niamh.
