His Housewife Had Secret Identities novel Chapter 464

She didn’t regret going through all the trouble to anonymously order that crate of river crabs and making sure Susy was the one to deliver them.

After Michael’s welcome dinner, Niamh found herself with yet another task—

designing a pair of matching rings for him.

Crafting the rings wasn’t difficult in itself, but coming up with a design that truly stood out? That took some inspiration.

Niamh set aside her pen, rubbing her tired wrist, when someone knocked at her office door.

“Come in,” she called.

She expected one of her studio staff, but to her surprise, it was Elmer.

“Amy was just complaining to me,” he said, arching an eyebrow, “that you gave her a pretty tough assignment.”

Niamh propped her chin on her hand and offered a rueful smile. “Did I? All I did was ask her to pick out a birthday present for Mr. Thomas at The Thomas Group.”

Mr. Thomas, of course, was Jonathan. Elmer’s easy smile faded.

“He’s having a birthday, and you’re getting him a present?”

Niamh briefly explained the background to Elmer.

“No matter what, Susy wouldn’t be in this situation if it weren’t at least partly Jonathan’s doing… If he wants a birthday gift, I’ll send him one.”

She spoke calmly.

She wasn’t exactly swimming in cash, but buying a couple of luxury items was hardly a challenge for her these days.

Suddenly, she remembered the past.

Back then, when Jonathan’s birthday rolled around, she would rack her brains and pour her heart into it. She couldn’t afford expensive gifts, so she made them herself: scarves she knitted, socks she sewed, mugs she painted.

She always believed that handmade things showed the most care. That way, Jonathan would feel her love, and she wouldn’t be frivolously spending their money—a win-win.

Looking back, Niamh couldn’t help but find her younger self laughably naive.
