His Housewife Had Secret Identities novel Chapter 782

So, this was all it took to make Niamh happy. As easy to please as a one-year-old child.

Jonathan couldn't help but think back to their marriage. For every holiday, he had always instructed Prescott to prepare gifts for Niamh. He did it simply because she was his wife. Back then, he had never once considered her personal tastes, merely basing the choices on Marina’s old preferences. He’d assumed no woman could dislike expensive jewelry, beautiful clothes, and shoes... and money was the one thing he never lacked.

Once, Jonathan had thought Niamh was as shallow as other women. Now, it seemed he was the shallow one. He had never truly tried to understand her. A box of sparklers, it turned out, could bring her more joy than all the expensive jewelry and designer clothes in the world.

“What are you thinking about?” Niamh asked, curious to see Jonathan so lost in thought.

“Nothing...” Jonathan shook his head and said naturally, “Just thinking that since you and Marlin like sparklers so much, I’ll buy them for you to set off every New Year's.”

The word 'every' made the smile on Niamh’s lips freeze. Jonathan’s casual words were, in fact, laden with hidden meaning and intent.

As she tucked the blanket around Marlin, Niamh said to Jonathan, “There’s no need... Maybe the person setting off sparklers with Marlin in the future will be Flynn.”

A flicker of displeasure crossed Jonathan's deep eyes, but he didn't say anything more. Just as he was about to leave her room, his phone rang. The caller ID showed it was Prescott.

“Prescott, did you find something?”

At Jonathan's words, Niamh's ears perked up. To avoid waking Marlin, Jonathan stepped out of the bedroom to take the call.

If it hadn’t been for that call, Niamh would have stayed in the bedroom with Marlin. But Prescott wouldn't be calling this late for no reason. The thought that there might be a breakthrough in her investigation was an irresistible pull. She followed Jonathan out of the room and into the study.
