His Housewife Had Secret Identities novel Chapter 562

From Lana's vantage point across the street, it looked as if Niamh was throwing herself into Jarrett's arms.

If a car hadn't honked, she might have stood there indefinitely, frozen in the middle of the road.

By the time she walked over, Niamh and Jarrett had separated.

"Lana…" Niamh greeted her warmly, but Lana ignored her completely, her eyes fixed on Jarrett, whose smile was awkward as he avoided her gaze.

Lana was already hurt by the sight of her best friend in an intimate embrace with her boyfriend, and Jarrett's reaction only seemed to confirm her fears.

Elmer was the last to arrive, having made a stop at his office first.

"Sorry I'm late…" he began, but the words died on his lips as he sensed the strange tension among the other three.

"What's wrong, Lana? Are you mad at me for being late?" he asked, stepping in front of her.

She was acting completely out of character. Usually, she was the most energetic and talkative one.

"It's nothing," Lana said flatly, shooting Niamh a quick glance before linking her arm through Jarrett's. "Let's go inside."

Lana and Jarrett walked ahead, leaving Niamh and Elmer to follow.

Elmer leaned in and whispered to Niamh, "What's with her? She seems really upset."

"I have no idea," Niamh whispered back, shaking her head in confusion. "She looked like that the moment she got here."

Elmer frowned, lost in thought.

As the four of them made their way into the park, the awkwardness began to fade with each ride, and Lana managed to push her unease to the back of her mind.

Niamh and Elmer kept a discreet watch on Jarrett, who was attentive and gentlemanly toward Lana.

Eventually, they all grew tired and started looking for something less intense.
