His Housewife Had Secret Identities novel Chapter 849

“Nia, you’re back! Come, have a seat,” Marigold said, her uncharacteristically warm welcome making Niamh feel a bit uneasy. Although Sprague wasn’t as overtly enthusiastic as his wife, he also wore a gentle smile as he looked at Niamh.

Niamh was thoroughly confused. By all rights, Sprague should despise her. She had agreed to fake her death with his help so that Jonathan would finally move on. But not only had Jonathan failed to forget her, he had ended up reuniting with her on Whispering Island. Sprague’s elaborate plan had been a complete waste.

Although it wasn't Niamh's fault—it was all a coincidence—she knew Sprague well enough to understand he would blame her. He would assume she had intentionally reappeared in Jonathan’s life, deliberately rekindling their connection.

Niamh sat down on the sofa, maintaining a slight distance from Sprague and Marigold. Just then, Hazel brought her a cup of coffee.

“Mrs. Thomas, please have some tea.”

Niamh froze. It had been a long time since she had heard that title. She and Jonathan had divorced long ago; she was no longer the “Mrs. Thomas.” Hazel noticed her confusion but showed no intention of correcting herself. Niamh didn't press the issue, not wanting to make Hazel feel like she had made a mistake.

As she sipped her tea, Sprague and Marigold began making small talk with her. Jonathan didn’t join in; he and Clifford were in the living room’s play area with Marlin, the two of them having a grand time.

Niamh offered short, noncommittal responses as she gradually figured out why Sprague and Marigold were being so friendly. It was because she was no longer just Niamh. She was also Katarina Quinn.

Even though the Quinn family had been battered by Ramona’s schemes, a wounded lion was still a lion. Furthermore, with Ramona arrested and dead, the awards ceremony that exposed her crimes had been broadcast globally. Everyone knew the problem wasn't the Quinn Group, but Ramona herself. With Hayes now restructuring the company, its stock was steadily rising.
