His Housewife Had Secret Identities novel Chapter 761

Jonathan nodded silently. He didn't say anything more. The car simply circled the Quinn family's private estate before heading back down the winding mountain road. Niamh rested her chin on her hand, her gaze fixed on the passing scenery. Her thoughts were in turmoil.

The Quinn family was no longer her concern, and she knew she shouldn't get involved in their affairs. She had expected him to ask if she wanted to rescue Hayes, or if she planned to seize The Quinn Group back from Ramona. But he didn't. Niamh was grateful for his silence, which spared her the added pressure.

Just then, Marlin woke up. Children his age often wake up crying, and Hazel usually had to spend a long time soothing him, often without success. Even Niamh could only calm him down when he was in a good mood; otherwise, he'd just cry harder in her arms. But this time, to Niamh's surprise, Marlin didn't cry. Instead, he broke into a silly grin, looking right at Jonathan.

Seeing Marlin's smile, Jonathan couldn't help but beam back. "Did you have a good sleep, Marlin?" "Goo-goo..." "You're such a good boy, not crying at all." "Aba-baba..." Gazing at Marlin's big, bright, watery eyes, Jonathan leaned in and kissed his forehead. Marlin seemed thrilled, waving his little arms and legs in delight.

Niamh turned back to see Jonathan holding Marlin tightly. The boy's unusual fondness for Jonathan was undeniable. *Is this some kind of natural, biological bond?* she wondered.
