After Cathy’s guidance, Niamh slowly closed her eyes.
Cathy let out a sigh of relief instantly.
She turned around and saw Kendrick and Adam standing at the door. She immediately shook her hand to tell them to leave.
Even though Kendrick wanted to be by Niamh’s side, he knew he could not be stubborn now. Also, he could not disturb her at this moment, so he went downstairs with Adam.
However, when he went downstairs, Kendrick saw a car parked at the front door. Then, Carter’s figure appeared at the door.
Adam did not know who Carter was, and he had never seen him before.
However, judging from the animosity coming from Kendrick, he could probably guess what was going on.
“Sir, who are you? Why did you come into my house uninvited?” Adam asked politely.
Carter slowly tidied his delicate sleeves before curling the corners of his lips. He said in an elegant and gentlemanly way, “I’m sorry, I’m here to take my wife home. Not long ago, she just went into your house. Now, she’s with a woman named Cathy.”
After hearing what Carter said, Adam’s expression changed subtly. On the other hand, there were already cold tides in Kendrick’s eyes.
“Carter, do you have a tracking device on Nia? If not, how do you know exactly where Nia is and what she’s doing now?”
Carter calmly lifted his eyes and looked into Kendrick’s eyes. There was still an ominous smile on his face.
“Because there are people like you who’d kidnap my wife for no good reason. I had no choice, so that’s why I did that. I’m only doing it for Eveline’s safety.”
Carter was admitting it from his answer.
Kendrick lifted his cold eyes and uttered two icy words from his thin lips, “Carter Gray.”
“Hmm?” Carter was unhurried. He looked at Adam. “If you can’t ask Miss Cathy to let my wife come down, then I’ll have to go up there myself to take my wife home.”
“…” Adam had nothing to say to that.
When Carter saw that Adam was not talking, he headed toward the stairs to go upstairs.
Kendrick knew that Cathy was trying to break the hypnosis for Niamh, so he could not let Carter go up there to interrupt her.
Even if she was not breaking the hypnosis, he could not allow Carter to take Niamh away from him so pompously.
“Are you going to stop me?” Carter looked at Kendrick and asked with a smile.
“I hope you don’t make any pointless obstructions.” Carter looked confident, but there was a dangerous aura emitting from his eyes. “There’s no one in this world who can break my hypnotism.”
Kendrick’s eyes darkened in an instant. He saw absolute confidence in Carter’s eyes, and at this moment, his suspicion was proven to be true.
Niamh was hypnotized, and the person who did that to her was Carter.
“Carter, so you did hypnotise Nia. What do you want to do?” Kendrick asked coldly.
Carter smiled softly as he looked into Kendrick’s eyes that were as sharp as knives. He said something unfathomable. “The number one young master of Glendale has nothing special to offer.”
He then scoffed disapprovingly before walking upstairs without any apprehensions.
Kendrick quickly chased up to him, but the man with Carter ran up from behind him to stop him.
“Get lost!” Kendrick pushed the man who was stopping him and ran upstairs as fast as he could.
However, when he caught up to Carter, the man had already reached Cathy’s room and easily opened the door.
Carter was standing at the door emotionlessly as he watched Cathy trying to break Niamh’s hypnosis.
He was not worried at all because he was confident with his skills.
Nobody in the world was able to break the trap he set.
He was born with this confidence.
Cathy had been interrupted. She looked at Carter who was about to walk in with qualms in her eyes.
However, before Carter could go far, Kendrick grabbed his arm.
His eyes were like knives as they shot toward Carter sharply.
“Don’t even think about entering this door,” Kendrick warned, “Carter, I won’t allow you to take my wife away in front of me again.”
Carter curled the corners of his lips calmly. “Even if I stand here and give her the time and the chance, so what? Do you think she can break my hypnosis?”
“Carter!”
Kendrick was holding Carter’s arm tightly.
He looked at Niamh who was sleeping quietly on the reclining chair before shifting his gaze to Cathy.
Cathy stood up slowly and looked into Kendrick’s eyes helplessly.
She shook her head lightly. The helplessness in her eyes caused Kendrick to feel disappointed and vexed.
Could she not break it?
Would Niamh be forever brainwashed and controlled by Carter?
Carter was pleased with Cathy’s change in expression.
He smiled. “Kendrick, there’s no use stopping me unless you want the woman you love the most to be asleep forever like this.”
After Carter said that, he looked at Kendrick’s hand that was holding onto his arm.
“I’m the only one who can break the hypnosis, and I’m the only one who can restore her, do you understand?”
After he said that, Kendrick’s long eyebrows furrowed together.
He had to let go of his hand that was holding onto Carter’s arms tightly.
Carter smiled victoriously and walked to Niamh’s side.
Cathy walked to the side and looked at the man who was walking over. There was a hint of apprehension in her eyes.
She saw Carter taking out a small crystal ball from the pocket of his suit jacket. He took the ball in front of Niamh and started speaking irreverently and languidly.
“Eveline, you’ll see a big crystal ball in front of you right now…”
Cathy and Kendrick stood at one side. They watched as Carter talked to Niamh who was in deep slumber.
After a while, Niamh opened her eyes.
When she was awake, her eyes looked as clear and innocent as a newborn baby. However, after her eyes met with Carter’s for a few seconds, the look in her eyes changed gradually in a blink of an eye.
She looked around her. After she saw Kendrick, she glared at him with resistance. She got up and walked to Carter’s side.
“Cart, he keeps pestering me.”
After Kendrick heard this, he felt pangs of pain from his heart.
On the contrary, Carter’s smile was radiant. He softly and gently comforted Niamh’s emotions. “Don’t worry. He promised me that he won’t come and pester you anymore.”
“…”
“Really?” Niamh looked at Kendrick, who was silent this entire time, suspiciously.
Carter nodded his head before looking at Kendrick who had a solemn expression on his face. “Mr. Waldburg, you still remember what I said just now, right? I hope you can be a man of your word and stop pestering Eveline.”
After he said that, he was about to hold Niamh’s hand. However, just as his hand was in mid-air, he retracted it before turning around.
“Let’s go.”
Niamh nodded and followed behind Carter.
Kendrick wanted to stop them, but now, he had some misgivings.
If nobody could break Carter’s hypnosis, would Nia become like this forever?
He was muttering to himself irresolutely. At the same time, he had also noticed Carter retracting his hand.
This was indeed strange, but it also made Kendrick feel at ease because Carter did not seem like he wanted to touch Niamh.
If that was the case, it seemed that he did not have any romantic desires. Then, what did he want?
While he was feeling curious about it, he heard Cathy exclaiming in a low voice.
“It’s him!”
