Niamh’s decisiveness baffled Kendrick.
‘What did Carter do to make Niamh like this?’
“Kendrick, what’s the reason for you keeping me by your side?” Niamh suddenly changed her attitude. Her eyes did not look as defying as just now. She walked nearer to Kendrick and blinked her beautiful eyes lightly. “Do you want to tell me that you love me and want to make up for all the hurt you caused me before, is that what you want to do?”
Kendrick’s eyes were filled with sincerity. “Nia, we’ve been through so much together. My feelings for you are genuine.”
“Alright, since you say you love me, then shouldn’t you know what you should do to someone you love?”
Niamh’s question caused Kendrick to be so dazed that he was stumped for words.
What should he do when he loved someone…
“Should you accommodate, cherish, protect, and pamper her if you love her? However, are you loving me by doing this?”
Niamh said and reached out her palm to Kendrick once again. “Give me the key.”
Looking into Niamh’s eyes, Kendrick’s thoughts seemed to be controlled by her.
Nia was right. One should not force someone if they loved them.
Kendrick thought about it quietly and then took out the key from his pocket to hand it to Niamh.
After Niamh took the key, she smiled in satisfaction. She quickly opened the door and walked downstairs.
When Kendrick heard the thuds of her steps as she went downstairs, he suddenly came back to his senses.
He could not let her go back.
He chased up to her quickly. He knew it would be useless to call her name, so he ran straight over to block her with a spurt of energy.
Niamh was wearing high heels and a gown, so it was a little difficult for her to move around.
The moment she ran downstairs to open the door, she felt a pair of familiar arms holding her waist tightly all of a sudden.
Before she could react, she was once again being lifted by Kendrick.
“Kendrick!”
“Nia, my decision isn’t wrong. You’ll know why in the future.”
Kendrick was still explaining to her patiently. He carried Niamh, who was resisting with all her might, back to the room again.
Even though Niamh was unconvinced, she did not have any ways to run away.
Since Kendrick knew the current Niamh was resisting him, he watched the door of the room for the entire night.
The next day when he went into the room, he saw that Niamh had changed into a more casual outfit. She was sitting on the bed, flipping through the photo album leisurely.
When she saw Kendrick coming in, she tossed the album to one side.
“How long are you going to keep me locked up for?” she asked straightforwardly.
Kendrick smiled warmly. “Nia, you should be hungry, right? I made breakfast.”
“Oh yeah? I remember I was always the one making breakfast and waiting for you downstairs. However, you never cared,” Niamh said and walked downstairs after walking past Kendrick.
Kendrick did not mind what Niamh was saying to him now at all. He knew this was not her real intention.
‘However, how did she become like this?
‘Why would she think that we’re divorced and why does she keep mentioning those unhappy memories?’
Kendrick could not wrap his head around this. As such, he could only follow behind Niamh and try to keep a close distance with her.
Niamh went to the dining room downstairs. When she saw the breakfast Kendrick made for her, she reached out to take the plate and took a look. Then, she threw the plate at Kendrick’s foot disdainfully.
The food and plate were smashed on the floor, and Kendrick was stumped for a second.
“I won’t eat the food you made. Kendrick, you won’t be able to move me no matter what you do.”
Niamh’s cold gaze scanned Kendrick coldly.
Her extremely tough attitude baffled Kendrick.
Impossible.
If a normal person was not acting, how could her attitude be such polar opposites?
If she was truly acting, then they were the only ones here, so Niamh would not need to do that.
She did not look like she had lost her memories. It seemed more likely that someone had changed a part of her memories so that was why she was so hostile to him but so close to Carter.
‘Hypnosis.’
This word flashed across Kendrick’s mind suddenly.
It was because he thought about what had happened to him back then.
Ding dong.
The doorbell rang suddenly at this moment.
Kendrick could not think of anyone who would ring their doorbell now that they were living here. When he came back to his senses and turned around, he saw that Niamh had already walked over to open the door.
After the door was opened, the person who appeared was Carter.
When Niamh saw Carter, she was evidently thrilled. “Cart, it’s so good to see you!”
When Kendrick saw this, he was slightly dissatisfied. However, this dissatisfaction had nothing to do with Niamh.
It seemed that Carter knew that Niamh was here long before, so at this moment, he was not surprised at all.
“Eveline, are you okay? I’m here to take you home.” Carter smiled softly and reached out to Niamh.
Niamh lifted her hand to grab Carter’s, however, it was grabbed by Kendrick who strode over.
“Nia, this is your home.” Kendrick’s face looked stern, but there was still gentleness on his face.
Niamh struggled to get away from him in discontent. “Kendrick, this is the last time I’m saying this. Stop pestering me.”
“Nia.”
“You heard her, Mr. Waldburg. Eveline doesn’t want anything to do with you anymore.” Carter’s lazy tone was laced with faint provocation. “Let go.”
While he said that, he curled the corners of his lips suddenly. He walked to Kendrick’s side, lowered his head slightly, and got close to Kendrick’s cheek. He parted his thin lips and said something in a deep voice.
Niamh could not hear what Carter was saying to Kendrick, but she noticed the visible changes in Kendrick’s eyes. Even his expression became colder and darker instantly.
She was suspicious and curious, but she did not have any intention to probe.
When Carter saw the changes in Kendrick’s expression, he curled the corners of his lips and walked back to Niamh’s side in satisfaction.
“Eveline, let’s go.”
Niamh looked at Kendrick who was standing motionless while looking at her without speaking. She smiled at Carter and nodded. “Okay, let’s go.”
Initially, Niamh was not curious, but when she remembered how Kendrick was so insistent on keeping her here and how he was watching her leave without any reaction now, she was feeling very conflicted.
She thought about it before finally asking, “Cart, what did you say to Kendrick just now? Why does he look like he’s stunned? Why isn’t he speaking or reacting?”
A hint of joy flashed across the corners of Carter’s eyes without a trace, but he did not say anything.
Niamh looked at him. Even though she was curious, she did not continue asking.
Kendrick watched blankly as Niamh walked away with Carter willingly. He did not have a way to stop her.
What Carter said in his ear was still lingering in the air. “Don’t forget that she has committed bigamy. Unless you want her to go back to where she went back then, you don’t have another choice.”
Kendrick slowly clenched his fingers, and his eyes were filled with rage that was surging up violently. Even so, he had nowhere to vent his anger.
‘Nia, I’ll wake you up from your hypnosis soon.
‘I won’t let you stay away from me for too long.’
Kendrick’s eyes twinkled as he quickly drove his car to somewhere.
Niamh followed Carter back to the manor. After she ate, she went back to her room to sleep.
While she was still groggy, she felt as if someone was approaching her.
