“I hope you are my wife, Miss Montgomery, so that I can take you home immediately.”
“Then I hope that you’re not making a mistake. I’m not your wife. If you continue to have this misunderstanding, I’m afraid it’ll cause trouble for me and Carter. I hope you can have some self- respect.”
As Niamh solemnly finished speaking, she inadvertently glanced at Kendrick’s injured calf.
“You shouldn’t get your wound wet for the moment. If you need anything, just ask for the maids in the house. Have a good rest.”
“Thank you, Miss Montgomery, ” Kendrick thanked her, smiling slightly.
Without speaking further, Niamh started walking toward the door.
However, when she reached the door, Niamh stopped and looked back at Kendrick.
When Kendrick saw her stopping, an expectant look appeared in Kendrick’s eyes.
He felt that Niamh seemed to have something to say to him, so he took the initiative and asked, “Is there anything you want to say, Miss Montgomery?”
Kendrick stared intently into Niamh’s charming eyes that looked as if they could speak.
Niamh also raised her eyes to meet his deep and charming almond eyes.
“Mr. Waldburg, ” Niamh said, “you…” “Eveline.”
Coincidentally, Carter appeared at this moment, interrupting Niamh halfway.
The expectant look in Kendrick’s eyes instantly shattered.
Carter stood at the entrance and turned to look at Kendrick who was sitting on the bed.
His eyes boar a cold and arrogant light, and the corners of his lips were slightly lifted. The arc of his smile was dripping with brazen victory.
Barely a few seconds later, Carter averted his gaze and then lowered his eyes to look at Niamh.
“Eveline, were you looking for me?” he asked softly. He sounded so gentle.
Kendrick, of course, could see that Carter was just putting on an act.
However, even with the false tenderness, Carter was still such an eyesore to Kendrick.
Niamh nodded. “I’ve been looking for you. I want to discuss some details with you regarding tomorrow’s wedding.”
“ I see. In that case, let’s head back to the study to talk, ” Carter said as he raised his hand, pretending to hold Niamh’s shoulder.
However, before he could touch her, he could see Kendrick’s angry gaze from the corners of his eyes.
Carter let out a low chuckle. In the end, he did not put his hand on Niamh.
Niamh was unaware of this detail. Presently, she was thinking about what she had not said just now.
When she turned around, she closed the door of the room.
However, the moment she closed the door, her eyes still involuntarily met Kendrick’s.
Niamh unexpectedly discovered that Kendrick’s eyes looked exceptionally serious at that moment. There was also a subtle worry among his seriousness.
‘He’s worried. What is he worried about?’
Niamh could not wrap her head around this. As she pondered about it, Carter’s voice came from one side.
“What do you want to discuss with me?” His tone still sounded very calm, but there was no longer the false tenderness of the previous moment.
Niamh glanced at Carter, then she parted her lips. “Mr. Waldburg just showed me a few photos. ”
“Photos? What photos?” Carter asked curiously. “Photos of him and his wife.”
Upon hearing this, Carter slowed down his pace, but then, he quickly returned to his original pace.
“Hmm. He must have wanted to tell you that you look a lot like his wife, didn’t he?”
Carter was testing her.
He observed Niamh’s expression and saw her nodding gently.
“It turns out that there really could be people in this world who look so much like me. No wonder he made such jokes when he saw me, ” Niamh exclaimed.
Carter smiled. “What else did he tell you?”
When Niamh heard that, she recalled silently. The words Kendrick had said at the time sounded in her mind. “My wife has been deceived by a devious man.”
This sentence somehow lingered in Niamh’s ear.
Two seconds later, she smiled and softly said, “No, he didn’t say anything else. He just said that his wife wasn’t by his side for the time being, so he was a little surprised when he saw me.”
“I see.” Carter did not ask further and continued to walk to the study. Although he looked emotionless on the outside, he actually had some guesses in his heart.
After returning to the study, Carter and Niamh had some discussion about tomorrow’s wedding and then Niamh left first.
After Niamh left, Carter picked up the phone and pressed a button. “Come here.”
He used a commanding tone, and before long, his entourage came into his study.
“What do you need, Mr. Carter?”
Carter picked up the tablet in front of him and glanced at it coldly.
“Are you sure that everything on-site is ready for tomorrow?”
“Mr. Carter, please rest assured that everything has been properly arranged. I have checked twice. There will be no problems.”
The entourage guaranteed him.
Carter, quite satisfied, tapped the screen of the tablet with his fingers.
“What about Kendrick?” he asked again.
The entourage frowned and then promised, “Even if he were to show up tomorrow, he wouldn’t be able to change what would happen.”
“Okay.” Carter was completely satisfied. “Make certain that there are no mistakes.”
“There won’t be any.” “Very good.”
As soon as Carter had finished speaking, Camille walked in from the study’s entrance.
Carter gave the entourage a look, and the entourage left tactfully.
Camille walked to the desk. “ Is everything ready?”
“Yes, we’ll just wait for tomorrow’s wedding. This time, there will be no mistakes.”
Camille frowned when she heard what Carter said. “ This time? Does that mean that the last engagement
“Yes, I have taken a fancy to Eveline’s identity from the beginning. Not only can she be used to contain Kendrick, but she also has a high value.”
Upon hearing this, Camille was silent for a while.
Carter noticed the change in Camille’s expression, and he stood up. “Do you also think that I would do anything to achieve my goal?”
Camille gently shook her head when she heard that. “It’s not an easy road, so if there’s a shortcut, it might not be a bad idea.”
“I’m glad that you agree with me,” Carter said with a sigh. “You are the only one who agrees with me now.”
“What about Shirley?” Camille asked about Shirley.
Carter’s face turned a little unpleasant. “ She’s still the same.”
Camille understood what Carter meant. “Let’s do it for now. Her heart is also aching. The child…”
“The reason the child died was because of Kendrick, ” Carter interrupted Camille, anger shooting out from his eyes.
Camille could feel Carter’s hatred for Kendrick, but she still persuaded him.
“I know that, right now, you hate Kendrick, but I still don’t want you to do anything irrational.”
Camille was finally relieved.
At this moment, a figure stood by the door. After listening to these words in the study, they quietly turned and walked away…
Shirley came up to the second floor using the lift. She was about to go back to her room when she ran into Niamh who was standing on the balcony at the end of the corridor.
Shirley casually dismissed the maid who was following Shirley, then Shirley moved her wheelchair and slowly approached behind Niamh.
