However, Carter was not worried.
Even a professional hypnotist would not be able to crack the advanced hypnosis he performed on Niamh, let alone Kendrick who knew nothing about hypnotism.
“Sir, do you mean…” Niamh looked at Kendrick with curiosity. “Do you mean I should ask you who you are?”
Kendrick nodded, still smiling. “You still haven’t asked me my name, Miss Montgomery.”
Niamh was a little stunned. It seemed that she thought Kendrick had said something unnecessary.
However, Niamh still smiled and asked, “Sir, what is your name?”
“My name is Kendrick Waldburg, ” Kendrick answered Niamh’s question quickly. He then continued, “My wife likes to call me Kendrick.”
“…” Niamh stared straight into Kendrick’s deep and beautiful eyes. “Hello, Mr. Waldburg. Nice to meet you. Is your wife not here with you to attend my wedding with Carter?”
Kendrick looked at Niamh’s bright and charming eyes. “She’s here, and she’s somewhere closest to me,” he said with implication.
Niamh sighed sorrowfully. She looked behind Kendrick, but she did not see anyone, so she could not understand what Kendrick was saying.
However, Niamh did not continue asking. She merely smiled politely at Kendrick. “Thank you for coming to witness our wedding, Mr. Waldburg and Mrs. Waldburg.”
Kendrick stood there and shook his head. “You don’t have to thank me, Miss Montgomery. We don’t have to use that word for the rest of our lives.”
Niamh was confused by what he said again. “Why did you say that, Mr. Waldburg?”
“Hmm? Have you forgotten? Or has Mr. Gray used his famous hypnosis to erase some of your unhappy memories?”
As Kendrick spoke in a curious tone, he deliberately looked at Carter.
“Carter, even though Nia and I were lovers, you ought to believe in your charm. There’s no need to hypnotize her.”
Niamh and Carter were stunned by Kendrick’s words.
Crater had not expected Kendrick to use this method, gaining the upper hand by taking a step back.
“Are you joking, Mr. Waldburg? How could we be lovers? I’ve always been in love with Carter the whole time, ” Niamh explained seriously.
However, when Kendrick heard that, he felt as if his heart was savagely stabbed with an invisible knife.
His Nia was indeed completely hypnotized.
Even his name could not bring about any sense of familiarity.
“Eveline, he’s just joking with you. Don’t take it seriously.”
Carter chimed in as well. Of course, he could not allow Niamh to start suspecting him of hypnotizing her.
Since he was worried that something might happen throughout Kendrick’s conversation with Niamh, Carter said, “Mr. Waldburg, there are still many things that Eveline and I still need to attend to, so I’m afraid we won’t have the time to entertain you, so…”
“Oh, go ahead. I’ll head to a room to rest.”
“…” Carter had wanted to get Kendrick to leave his manor, but now, Kendrick had taken the initiative by walking directly upstairs.
Presently, Kendrick did not exist in Niamh’s memories, but Kendrick’s words and behavior gave Niamh a familiar feeling, a feeling similar to how she felt about Carter.
At this time, a maid came over. She said that Camille had asked them to go to the ancestral hall.
Not wanting to waste any time, Carter took Niamh and went out. Before he left, he told his bodyguard to keep an eye on Kendrick.
In fact, in the beginning, he had deliberately allowed Kendrick to enter the manor to see Niamh so that Kendrick would feel uncomfortable.
However, instead of achieving his goal, Kendrick now had the upper hand.
Nonetheless, Carter did not take it very seriously either. He glanced at Niamh who was by his side, and a corner of his mouth lifted into a smile.
Kendrick went upstairs but his eyes continued to follow Niamh. Even after Niamh had gotten in the car and left, Kendrick still did not leave.
‘Nia, I’m the one you love. From the beginning to the future, our feelings for each other will never change.’
Kendrick thought silently and steadied himself. He was also convinced that Niamh had the same feelings for him.
However, this time, he had to completely get rid of Carter. Never again would he make the same mistake. Never again would he let Niamh face danger.
After standing on the spot for some time, Kendrick began walking.
He noticed that someone was paying attention to his every move. Without much thought, he knew it was Carter’s bodyguard.
Kendrick walked forward calmly, observing everything around him with deep and sharp eyes.
As for the bodyguard downstairs, he paid attention to Kendrick just like how Kendrick was observing his surroundings.
Kendrick continued to walk forward. When he passed the door to a certain room, he subconsciously glanced in, then raised his hand and gently pushed the door open.
“Sir.” A maid rushed over from the other side of the corridor to stop him. “Sir, who are you? Why are you standing there? Someone is resting there. Please don’t go in and disturb them.”
Kendrick slowly lowered his hand and turned around when he heard that. His resolute and handsome face stunned the young maid in front of him, making her blushed. Her tone and attitude then greatly softened.
“Sir, who are you? Are you looking for someone?”
“I am Carter’s guest. He has specially invited me here. He said that he had arranged a room for me, and I was just looking for my room, that’s all.”
The maid was stunned for two seconds after hearing the words. She then immediately came back to her senses. “I see, you are a guest of Mr. Carter. Please wait a moment. I will arrange the guest room for you immediately, ” the maid said with a blush, then immediately went to prepare a guest room for Kendrick without any suspicion.
Kendrick had not expected his face to have such use. This was a vain world after all.
He thought to himself. He was about to walk forward, mainly to observe the layout and structure of this manor.
However, when he put his foot forward, the door to the next room suddenly opened.
“Kendrick, you’re finally here.”
Kendrick stopped in his tracks and turned around to see Shirley slowly coming out of the room in her wheelchair.
It seemed that it was Shirley’s room.
“Let’s talk inside. ” Shirley looked at Kendrick and pushed the door of her room open.
Kendrick looked at both sides of the corridor, and through the corner of his eye, he saw the bodyguard watching him from downstairs. However, he walked into Shirley’s room, unconcerned.
When the bodyguard saw this, he immediately sent Carter a message.
When Carter saw the bodyguard’s message in the car, he immediately gave an order…
In the bedroom on the second floor.
Shirley operated the wheelchair all the way to the balcony, and Kendrick followed behind her until she stopped.
If this were in the past, Kendrick would never be alone with Shirley at all, let alone listen to her. At the present, he had let go of his prejudice against her, and he had a little more trust in her.
“I knew you’d come, but I didn’t expect you to come directly into Gray Manor like this.”
Shirley sighed. She raised her eyes, tinged with envy, and looked at Kendrick.
“Eveline is so lucky to have you to care for her, to concern her.”
When Kendrick heard those words, he felt an ache in his heart. He regretted that he had not been able to give Niamh complete happiness and love since the beginning.
Kendrick could see that Shirley no longer had the sharp edge about her, but he did not want to waste time on idle chit-chat.
“I don’ t think this is what you want to talk about with me now that you’ve brought me in here.” Kendrick went straight to the point. “You can tell me what you know.”
Shirley understood that Kendrick was not in the mood to talk about anything else, she therefore immediately explained Niamh’s current situation.
“Carter has hypnotized Eveline very deeply. I met Eveline after she’s been hypnotized. She now regards Carter as the man she loved this whole time.”
Hiss.
Hearing this, Kendrick felt a small yet intense pain in his heart.
He had indeed met Niamh, and he had no choice but to face her who now “loved” Carter, but he could not accept such a setup no matter what.
Was this how Carter intended to retaliate against him?
Kendrick sneered silently. The man’s methods were truly shameless.
“In fact, from a certain perspective, the person Eveline loves in her heart is still you. Carter has just put a false veil on her heart. Although this veil is very thin, it is not so easily unveiled.”
Shirley’s charming eyebrows furrowed in distress as she spoke.
“One more thing… ” She paused. “ I don’t know if you’ve heard of it.”
