His Housewife Had Secret Identities novel Chapter 687

“I’m sorry, but I cannot agree to your request for a fake marriage with Elmer.”

“What did you say?!” Hester shot up from her seat, her face a mask of pure indignation.

“Niamh, don’t you forget who was responsible for my son ending up in a vegetative state.”

“Mom!” Elmer barked from the side.

“You shut up! Am I wrong? If it weren’t for her, you wouldn’t have been hurt so badly.” As she spoke, Hester’s voice began to choke with emotion.

“I can understand how you feel, Mrs. White…”

“You don’t understand a damn thing,” Hester began to snap, but Niamh cut her off with a calm but firm voice.

“But I also paid tens of millions in medical fees for it. Even if this went to court, I doubt a judge would have ordered me to cover Elmer’s treatment costs… but out of my own guilt, I provided a huge amount of compensation.”

“Furthermore, that accident shouldn’t be used as leverage to manipulate me. A fake marriage is still a lie, and I am not willing to sacrifice my reputation, dignity, and feelings to deceive a centenarian… You might think I’m being selfish, but for once, I want to be selfish. I don’t want to force myself to do something I don’t want to do.”

With that, Niamh politely bid the White family farewell. Elmer chased after her, apologizing profusely.

“I’m so sorry, Nia. What my mom said was way out of line.”

Niamh shook her head, a faint smile on her face. “It’s fine… I understand that she still holds a grudge against me because of your accident. But about the fake marriage, I really can’t help you.”

“Yeah, I get it… I never wanted to force you in the first place.”
