His Housewife Had Secret Identities novel Chapter 848

Just as Niamh stood there, bewildered, the door to Thomas Manor opened.

“Mommy!”

Marlin came stumbling out. Surprised that her son was the first to greet her, Niamh rushed toward him.

Marlin was over a year old now. Though he could walk, he was still a bit unsteady. Niamh could see how much he had missed her; his chubby little legs were trying their best to run as fast as they could. Worried he might fall, she quickly scooped him into her arms.

“Mommy…”

Marlin’s big, watery eyes grew misty. He looked like he was about to cry, but as a little boy, he was trying his best to be strong and hold it in. Seeing his effort, Niamh found him adorable and couldn’t resist kissing his chubby cheek. Having finally gotten a kiss from his mother after so long, Marlin was so happy he began to wave his arms and legs in her embrace.

But he wasn't satisfied yet.

After her kiss, he started calling out, “Daddy! Dadadada… Dadadad…”

The jumble of sounds made it hard for Niamh to tell if he was just babbling or genuinely calling for his father.

“Your father isn’t here right now,” Niamh told him, which immediately earned her a protest from Marlin. It was the first time he had ever been so restless in her arms.

“Daddy! Daddy!” he insisted, his small hands clearly reaching for Jonathan.

“Let me take him,” Jonathan said, moving to take Marlin from her.
