His Housewife Had Secret Identities novel Chapter 564

Lana wasn't the type to bottle things up, and Jarrett's show of concern only made her feel more hurt.

"Do you think Nia is prettier than me? More feminine?"

"Why would you ever think that?"

"Because I saw you two hugging at the entrance, and you were holding hands in the haunted house," she confessed.

A cold, mocking sneer flashed in Jarrett's face, but he knew she couldn't see it.

"Lana, you misunderstood," he began, his voice full of sincerity. "Niamh said she was feeling faint from low blood sugar, so I was just steadying her. She's your friend, after all. And in the haunted house…"

He averted his gaze and stammered, "I thought I was the only one who was scared, but Niamh admitted she was terrified too and asked me to hold her hand. Lana, as your best friend, I'm sure she would never try to seduce your boyfriend…"

He squeezed her hand tightly. "I don't want this to ruin your friendship. I would feel terrible. So please, don't confront her. Let's just let it go. You have to believe me. You're the only one I love."

"…Okay," Lana mumbled, nodding.

At that moment, the fireworks show began, painting the sky with brilliant explosions of color set to moving music.

Everything was supposed to be as perfect as a fairytale.

This was the highlight of the park, the one thing Lana had been most excited for, yet she couldn't focus.

Her mind kept replaying the image of Niamh and Jarrett, hugging, holding hands.

It was Niamh who had suggested the double date in the first place.

But whose date was this, really?

Did Niamh set this all up just to get closer to Jarrett?

A shiver ran through her.
