His Housewife Had Secret Identities novel Chapter 490

They were trying to pry information about Jonathan from her, just to decide whether they should marry off their handpicked foster daughter, Ramona Quinn.

A cold, mocking smile flickered across Niamh’s lips.

She’d actually thought, after all these years, that her birth parents had finally grown a conscience.

A dull ache pressed against her chest.

In the end, whether it was her parents or Jonathan, everyone had only ever approached her for the sake of someone else.

“Jonathan’s charming, successful. Whoever marries him will be happy,” Niamh said lightly. She’d barely finished when Carlotta pressed on:

“If he’s so wonderful, why did you two get divorced?”

Because Jonathan never loved her.

Because Jonathan had destroyed their unborn child with his own hands.

“You could’ve found out with even the most basic investigation… Back in Aldonia, I was dragged through the mud online, accused of cheating, called a homewrecker. The Thomas family made sure to cut all ties with me.”

“I know you’d never do something like that,” Carlotta said softly, reaching out to take Niamh’s hand.

Niamh pulled away before she could make contact.

Believe her? No one in the Quinn family had ever believed her.

“Mrs. Quinn, there’s no legal relationship between us,” Niamh said, her tone measured and deliberate. Immediately, Carlotta’s eyes filled with tears.

Hayes stepped in just in time, changing the subject.

“The Coralis government’s launching a new project. Would you be interested?”

“Oh?” Niamh arched an eyebrow. “What kind of project?”

Seeing Hayes successfully pique Niamh’s interest, Carlotta finally let out a sigh of relief. She’d been too impatient, trying to meddle in her daughter’s love life, but Niamh had been cold and distant as ever.

Thankfully, her husband knew how to handle things. Business talk, project negotiations—this was the only way they could maintain any connection with Niamh, and clearly, it worked.
