His Housewife Had Secret Identities novel Chapter 659

Niamh tilted her head back, her eyes reflecting Jonathan’s grim expression. “And this is what you call being able to protect yourself?”

The blunt question left her speechless. If the person aiming at her had really been Joker, she would likely be dead right now if not for Jonathan. A shiver of delayed fear ran through her.

The next second, his arms tightened around her. The dress Niamh had chosen was made of a thin fabric, which had become nearly transparent after being submerged in water. Pressed against Jonathan’s body, she felt as if she were naked, enveloped by his warmth and scent. The sensation filled her with a mixture of shame and panic.

“If you keep holding me like this, we’ll be tabloid gold by morning,” she reminded him quietly.

Jonathan managed a small smile. “Let them talk. Maybe the internet will start a campaign for us to get back together.”

“Get back together?” Niamh let out a cold laugh. “You wish. You think saving my life means I’m going to throw myself at you?”

Her words were laced with sarcasm, but her heart was undeniably moved. After all, if the assassin had pulled the trigger in that split second, the bullet would have hit Jonathan as he threw himself toward her. His reaction had been instantaneous; a moment’s hesitation, and the shot would have rung out, the killer would have succeeded, and she would have died right here.

Did he do it… because he remembered she was Rina from the detention center?
