His Housewife Had Secret Identities novel Chapter 638

Jonathan opened his mouth, but no words came out. He could only draw in another sharp breath of the cold air.

After all, he was the one who had pursued Niamh first.

He’d always believed that Niamh had fallen for him the moment she saved his life.

But afterward, she had made no demands of him or the Thomas family.

She simply vanished from his sight, from his life, becoming just a passing stranger.

And yet…

He was the one who hadn't let her go.

He was the one who had shown up at her university on Valentine's Day, brandishing nine hundred and ninety-nine pink roses to declare his love.

Feeling Niamh's searing gaze on him, Jonathan lowered his head slightly.

He wondered if the feeling twisting in his gut was guilt.

“Lana is the reason the Thomas Group is embroiled in this scandal. Are you really still hesitating about whether to stay friends with her?” Jonathan deliberately changed the subject.

Niamh didn't speak.

She just silently nursed her martini until the glass was empty.

“Back in high school… Lana got on the wrong side of some mean girls. One day, they cornered her in an alley, about to beat her up. I happened to be passing by and helped her out…”

Seeing Niamh rest her chin on her hand, lost in memories, Jonathan signaled the bartender to make her a margarita.

“Are you trying to get me drunk?” Niamh glanced at him.

“I was just afraid you’d be thirsty.”

Niamh shrugged. “Since when are you so considerate?”

“Was I so inconsiderate before?” Jonathan retorted.

“Always hanging up on me first, leaving me waiting for you alone in the freezing wind outside the hospital… Would you call that considerate?”

Niamh’s words silenced Jonathan, making him feel as if a dark cloud had settled over his head.
