‘When that happens? When will that be?’
She still had to wait for Eveline to pull something?
Ada had no patience to wait until that day came.
After thinking about it, she picked up the phone and turned to the internet news she found not long ago. Ada raised the corners of her red lips as she looked at Niamh who was standing with Kendrick in the photo.
‘Got it.’
…
The sky had gradually darkened.
Niamh was sitting in Carter’s private car while she looked at the rapidly changing scene outside the car window. At this moment, she was feeling very nervous.
After pondering for a while, Niamh turned her head to look at Carter who was sitting by the other side of the window. He was reading a book, and Niamh could not help asking.
“Mr. Carter, where are we going now?”
Carter continued to flip the book in his hand. At the same time, he parted his lips slightly. “I’m taking you to see the person you’re thinking about in your heart right now.”
What?
Niamh was dazed and astonished. The person in her heart right now was Kendrick.
Noticing Niamh’s silence, Carter slowly closed the book and faced Niamh’s unique starry eyes.
“Kendrick Waldburg. You still miss this person in your heart, right?”
“…”
‘This is great.’
Niamh simply did not want to look into Carter’s eyes. She felt as if he could see through everything at a glance.
“I heard that Kendrick was in Y Country for business in the past two days. He’ll arrive at Glendale Airport on time at eight o’clock tonight. I can take you to see him now.”
Niamh wanted to pretend to be nonchalant, but what Carter said made her unable to calm down.
He actually knew Kendrick’s whereabouts clearly, and he even knew that Kendrick had gone to Y Country.
“It’s very difficult to really forget about someone, so I understand that you’ll still want to see him,” Carter added.
Niamh curled the corners of her lips. Her smile at this moment appeared extremely stiff. “Thank you for understanding, Mr. Carter.”
“Yeah.” Carter nodded before reopening the book in his hand to continue reading. He did not speak to Niamh again.
Niamh’s heart was beating ferociously. She felt that Carter’s mind was completely beyond her expectations.
Most importantly, Niamh still did not know what the man wanted to do.
Whether she asked directly or indirectly, the man would avoid answering.
Ten minutes later, the car stopped at the entrance of Glendale Airport.
Niamh looked fixedly at the entrance. She was looking forward to seeing the familiar figure in her heart.
However, it had been a very long time and it was already past eight o’clock but Niamh still did not see Kendrick coming out of the airport.
Carter also noticed the time. After waiting for another half an hour, he said to Niamh with a sense of disappointment, “It looks like I’ll be disappointing you tonight, but it doesn’t matter, there are still many opportunities.”
“…”
“If you want to go back to Waldburg Manor now, I can ask the driver to take you there.”
“No, I don’t want to go back now.” Niamh’s reply did not ring true to her convictions. “I’ll go wherever you go, Mr. Carter.”
Carter smiled upon hearing this and ordered the driver to drive them back.
Kendrick’s plane had arrived in Glendale without a delay. Instead, he was ahead of schedule.
On the way back to Waldburg Manor, he tried to make a few calls to Niamh, but no one answered.
Waldburg Manor.
Naomi knew that Kendrick would be back from his business trip tonight. As such, she specially dressed up to try to please this man.
Coincidentally, the other people in the family had been invited to a hotel for a banquet tonight. This was the best opportunity for her to get Kendrick drunk and get intimate with him.
She had to implement such a plan because she felt an impending crisis.
Niamh could expose her at any time, and she would only win the game if something really happened between her and Kendrick.
Naomi ordered the servants to prepare a sumptuous dinner and then sent all the servants to their rooms. She picked up the bottle of red wine and quietly added something inside to liven things up. Just when she was done with this, she heard some movements from the door.
Naomi fiddled with her short hair and walked quickly to meet Kendrick.
As soon as she saw the graceful figure, she quickly imitated Niamh’s smile and curled her lips.
“Kendrick, you’re back.”
Hearing this gentle and sweet voice, Kendrick slowly raised his deep gaze. He looked at the woman who was walking in front of him, and what he found during his investigation in Y Country these two days flashed across in his mind.
Naomi saw that Kendrick was looking at herself so intently. As such, she pretended to blink shyly and then spoke in a coquettish tone.
“Kendrick, I really missed you during the two days you were away. We haven’t had the time for just the two of us to have a candlelight dinner. Our parents and children are not here tonight, so let us enjoy the time with only the two of us, okay?”
Kendrick thought of that night not long ago.
He had a candlelight dinner with her in the restaurant.
After that, he walked hand in hand with her on the street. He had even kissed her on the street where fireworks bloomed.
“Kendrick, what are you thinking about?” Naomi approached curiously, trying to take Kendrick’s hand, but Kendrick merely took off his suit jacket. She did not get to hook her hand around Kendrick’s arm, but she was flexible enough to take the coat Kendrick took off.
“Kendrick, I’ll help you.” Naomi was performing Niamh’s role seriously.
She put the jacket on the sofa and saw Kendrick going to wash his hands. She took this opportunity to pour the red wine that had been opened and drugged into the wine glass.
After Kendrick washed his hands and came out, he saw Naomi sitting upright on the side of the dining table. There was a gentle and beautiful soft smile on her pretty small face.
“Kendrick, sit down and drink some red wine. Eat something too. I made these dishes myself.”
Kendrick glanced at the dishes on the table. “Really? You made them all? Then, I really want to taste them.”
Naomi smiled shyly and put the vegetables on Kendrick’s plate considerately.
“Where have my parents and in-laws gone?” Kendrick asked casually.
“A friend is having a birthday party in a hotel, so he invited our parents. The three children went along as well.”
Naomi explained, then she raised her eyes and stared at Kendrick with a serious look.
“Kendrick, tonight is a rare opportunity for us to be alone. I hope to spend an unforgettable night with you.”
Kendrick pursed his lips and smiled. His deep and electrifying eyes scanned Naomi’s face. “I promise you that I’ll definitely make this night unforgettable for you.”
Naomi immediately smiled with joy when she heard the words. She was feeling confident about tonight.
‘Hmph, Eveline, so what if you decide to expose me? As long as I’ve slept with Kendrick, you’ll still be the person suffering from the most pain!’
Naomi was silently overjoyed, and immediately, she raised her glass to prompt Kendrick to drink first.
“Kendrick, I personally prepared this red wine for you. Would you like to taste it?” She stretched out her arm and wanted to clink glasses with Kendrick.
However, Kendrick did not take the wine glass. “I’m a little hungry. Let me try your dishes first.”
Naomi’s smile gradually became stiff, but she could not force Kendrick to drink now. As such, she smiled and nodded. She figured that it would not be too late to urge Kendrick to drink later.
Naomi was thinking about her plan when she heard Kendrick suddenly asking, “Is Quinny not around too?”
“…”
The corners of Naomi’s lips twitched. She did not expect Kendrick to bring up Niamh at this moment. She pretended to be jealous.
“Kendrick, this is the time for the two of us. Why are you bringing up another woman? Are you not worried that I might get jealous?”
“Why should I?” Kendrick asked without hesitating.
Naomi was stunned for a moment. For a while, she was unable to understand why Kendrick asked such a question.
