His Housewife Had Secret Identities novel Chapter 655

Elmer opened his mouth, but he was speechless. Then he heard Jonathan continue, "Relax, I'm not going to bother Niamh and Lana. I'm here... waiting for a man." The last few words made Elmer choke on his own spit. "Whatever!" Elmer drove away, and Jonathan finally saw the man he had been waiting for. Or, more accurately, those men.

Niamh and Lana talked all night in the hospital room, just like they used to in their high school dorm, getting more and more animated as they stayed up past dawn. Sometimes, Niamh wondered if Jarrett had never appeared in their lives, if there would ever have been even a hint of a rift between her and Lana.

They talked about Jarrett, about his whole act at the amusement park during their double date. Niamh now understood that Lana had long suspected her of trying to seduce Jarrett, because that was the narrative he had carefully constructed. That was why Lana never asked her about it beforehand—distrust had already taken root in her heart.

And Lana finally realized that Niamh had never once thrown herself at Jarrett. It was all a performance he had directed himself. Although her first love had brought her immense pain, it had also taught her a valuable lesson.

"Actually… it's my fault, too… As your best friend, I should have helped you vet him properly." Niamh was genuinely blaming herself. She knew Lana had no experience with relationships, yet she never thought to warn her about a man's sweet-talking lies.

"Don't go taking all the blame on yourself…" Lana said, flicking Niamh's forehead with her free hand.

"Ow, that hurts!" Niamh cried out, her expression full of mock grievance.

Lana grinned. "I was completely love-struck back then. Even if you had warned me, I wouldn't have listened. I probably would have just gotten mad at you for meddling…" Lana sighed. People really don't think straight when they're head over heels.

"By the way," Lana asked with a frown, "have the police caught the fake Jarrett yet?" She used to want to find Jarrett and demand an explanation. But she had since come to terms with it. She had been deceived and used. If she ever found him now, the first thing she'd do is punch him a few times to vent her anger.

"Lana, actually, while you were waiting in the rain, I went to your place to find you…"

"Huh?"
