Niamh was speechless.
Kendrick lifted his good-looking eyebrows helplessly when he saw Niamh stunned.
“Of course, if you don’t have feelings for me and you were only lost and delirious last night, then you can pretend that nothing ever happened. You can reject me, but I won’t treat it like it never happened and I won’t let go of this feeling I’m feeling right now too.”
“…”
Niamh could feel overbearingness and tyranny in his words.
When she had no idea how to reply to this man, his phone rang.
He picked up the phone on his desk while he was at it, and his charming eyes were looking into Niamh’s eyes this entire time.
Niamh could feel her heart beating erratically, and she averted her gaze quickly. Then, she walked to the bar and pretended to busy herself making coffee.
‘So what’s going on now?
‘Should I say yes to becoming his mistress?
‘If I do that, won’t I be cheating on myself?’
However, if she did not agree, he would keep on pestering her, though?
‘Kendrick, at the end of the day, you’re still trying to betray me by doing this, right?’
The more Niamh thought about this, the more she felt like her brain was going to explode.
When she was still thinking about this while feeling agitated, she felt a pair of arms around her waist all of a sudden. Then, a familiar warm wall of flesh was pressed up against her back. Kendrick’s deep and alluring voice sounded next to her ear.
“Miss Quinny, you feel exactly like my wife when I hold her.”
“…”
Niamh’s heart was racing as she tightened her grip on the cup of coffee.
“Are you only treating me like this because my eyes look like your wife’s, Mr. Waldburg?”
“I told you, it’s the feeling.”
Kendrick emphasized seriously. He tilted his handsome face down and approached the space between Niamh’s neck and shoulder. While she was not paying attention, he planted a soft kiss on her neck.
Niamh felt a surge of strong electricity across her heart, and she knew she had been successfully seduced by Kendrick.
“Don’t you think you’re letting your wife Eveline down by doing this, Mr. Waldburg?”
“I don’t think so.”
“…”
Kendrick’s direct answer caused Niamh to be speechless.
‘Kendrick, you b*stard. How dare you say no when you didn’t even stop to think about it.”
Bang!
Niamh slammed the coffee cup in her hand down and escaped from Kendrick’s arms.
“I won’t serve you and make you coffee anymore. I also won’t stay with you the entire night to help you reorganize your documents!” After Niamh roared furiously, she pushed the man in front of her away and barged to the door.
On the other hand, Kendrick stood where he was while he watched Niamh storm away with a soft smile on his face. He chuckled lightly.
After leaving Kendrick, Niamh ran to the front door of Waldburg Corporation.
She lifted her head to look at the night sky before sighing.
“Kendrick, what’s wrong with you?”
Niamh thought about this while feeling troubled. She could not even begin to describe the dilemma she was feeling in her heart anymore.
…
She thought she had told him how she felt pretty clearly. However, Niamh still found Kendrick trying to get close to her and even flirting with her either intentionally or unintentionally.
Niamh was getting more and more melancholic the more she thought about this. ‘Kendrick, you b*stard. Have you already forgotten about me, your real wife?’
However, after she thought about it, he said he only wanted to get close to her because of the feeling.
Feeling.
‘So, Kendrick, are you only trying to get close to me because you feel that I’m the person you love?’
Niamh did not know whether she should be happy or sad.
She could only maintain this state of mind to take care of Eloise in the morning and go to Adam’s place for her treatment during dusk.
A few days later, Niamh could feel the red marks on her face fading gradually.
She also felt that the skin on her face was clear and clean, especially after doing the gel treatment. Her skin was now so fair and delicate that she did not even need makeup to look alluring and gorgeous.
Niamh was satisfied to be able to recover to this state.
She wanted to expose Naomi’s true identity, but she hesitated because of Carter.
She had to know why Carter was investigating Kendrick before exposing her true identity.
Coincidentally, Carter called her.
Niamh took advantage of the situation for her benefit and agreed to meet him. After that, she went to the manor.
However, she unexpectedly felt an extreme aura repelling her when she entered the place.
She saw a woman who was dressed elegantly sitting upright and still on the sofa. The woman’s features looked composed and stunning. Plus, it was making her look very imposing.
Niamh could see some of Carter’s features on the woman’s face.
Was this woman Carter’s mother?
Niamh pondered and felt that she was right.
At this moment, the woman looked over at Niamh. However, her eyes looked extremely unfriendly and there were even sharp thorns in her gaze.
However, Niamh still gave her a friendly smile.
The woman averted her gaze in disdain. Coincidentally, the woman named Ada came out from another side. Another middle-aged woman was walking next to Ada and she was wearing a branded two-piece outfit.
Ada peered at Niamh and whispered something in the woman’s ear. Then, she walked to Carter’s mother and whispered something to her while staring at Niamh.
In the next second, Carter’s mother stood up abruptly. There was displeasure on her elegant face as she glared furiously at Niamh.
What else could Niamh not handle after experiencing so much?
She could even guess what Ada had said to Carter’s mother. Indeed, Carter’s mother then asked in an extremely displeased tone, “Are you the mistress Carter is hiding from the world after a meticulous selection process?”
Niamh was stunned when she heard this. She wanted to say she had nothing to do with being someone’s mistress or the meticulous selection process the woman mentioned.
However, after some serious consideration about how Ada was deliberately targeting her with malicious intentions, Niamh could only smile and nod.
“Yes, Aunty. Carter said I’m his girlfriend.”
“Who are you calling ‘Aunty’? Don’t you address people willy-nilly!” Carter’s mother corrected. Even though she looked extremely pissed, one could still see that she was educated and refined from her every move.
Even though she was mad, she still looked poised.
“Miss, I don’t care what stage you’re at with Carter, but as his mother, I will never allow my son to marry you.”
Indeed, she was Carter’s mother.
After Niamh heard this calmly, she saw Ada smirking victoriously. On the other hand, the middle- aged woman next to Ada displayed a similar smirk as well. Hence, that woman was Ada’s mother without a doubt.
“Did you hear me?” Carter’s mother asked.
“I did.”
Niamh looked into the woman’s unhappy eyes calmly and displayed a small smile.
“Aunty, I think you’re overthinking. Just because I’m with Carter now doesn’t mean I’ll marry him in the future. No one in any relationship can be sure that they’ll stick with their partners to the end, right? So, you don’t have to mobilize your troops to come all the way here just for me.”
“…”
Perhaps she did not expect Niamh to say something so carefree and heartless.
