His Housewife Had Secret Identities novel Chapter 460

Since they were now officially a couple, checking into a hotel together seemed only natural.

Lana kept her gaze lowered, following behind Jarrett as they walked in. Yet, she couldn’t shake the feeling that she and Jarrett had skipped a few steps along the way.

For instance…

Had Jarrett ever actually said he liked her?

Her doubts were quickly soothed by Jarrett’s sweet words, and before long, they found themselves tangled in the sheets again. This time, at least, Lana didn’t pass out from the discomfort, but afterward she was so embarrassed she couldn’t even look Jarrett in the face.

They lay side by side on the king-sized bed, the air between them thick with both intimacy and awkwardness.

Lana had always thought of herself as outgoing, the kind of person who could keep any conversation going. Now, though, she couldn’t think of a single thing to say to Jarrett.

“Lana…” Jarrett was the first to break the silence.

He reached for her hand, his touch gentle. “Tell me about yourself.”

“About me?”

“Yeah… We haven’t known each other long, and I want to know more. What were you like back in school?”

Finally, a topic she could run with. Lana relaxed and started talking, her words tumbling out more easily.

Jarrett listened, occasionally prompting her as she described her high school days.

“I was closest with Nia and Elmer back then…”

“Nia—you mean Niamh, right?”

“Of course!”

“I heard she’s Jonathan’s wife…”

“Ex-wife. Ex-wife!” Lana corrected him, making a face. “Don’t even mention that jerk. Just thinking about him pisses me off.”

Jarrett couldn’t help chuckling.
