His Housewife Had Secret Identities novel Chapter 829

“Hey! Jonathan, put me down!” Niamh protested as he carried her, but her struggles were futile.

Jonathan strode into the bathroom and gently placed her in the tub.

“Want me to wash you?” he asked, his eyes crinkling into the shape of a cunning fox’s smile.

Niamh’s face flushed. There she was, lying in the tub in just her underwear, while a completely naked Jonathan stood beside her. No one would ever believe nothing had happened between them.

“Get out!” she demanded, her cheeks burning.

Jonathan knew she was just shy, which only deepened the amusement in his eyes. “We’re practically an old married couple. You’re still afraid of me looking?”

“Who’s an old married couple with you!”

Niamh grabbed the shower head and sprayed him with a stream of water. Instead of dodging, Jonathan simply stood there, clearly enjoying it. “You know, this makes it harder for me to leave… Are you playing hard to get?”

“Jonathan!” Niamh was both mortified and furious. “Don’t tempt me to hit you with this thing!”

He let out a couple of hearty laughs before finally complying with her wish and leaving the bathroom. Alone, Niamh caught her breath, her heart still hammering in her chest. She turned the water colder, trying to calm herself down.

She no longer hated Jonathan. She had to admit that to herself. He had done many things to hurt her in the past, but time had eventually healed those wounds. Niamh didn't want to dwell on the past. Time never stood still, and people had to look forward. Besides, Jonathan had genuinely been trying to make amends, doing so much for her. If not for him saving her life on multiple occasions, she probably wouldn't even be here today.

But… she had no intention of starting over with him. She had been doing fine on her own before he crashed back into her life.
