His Housewife Had Secret Identities novel Chapter 495

The deep, midnight darkness in his eyes reflected the figures of Niamh and Elmer.

Niamh exuded competence and confidence—a model entrepreneur, poised and assured in every movement.

In just a few days under her leadership, this rehabilitation center had attracted more clients than ever before. The results spoke for themselves.

Jonathan watched her working alongside Elmer, an ache lodged in his throat like a splinter he couldn’t swallow.

“Niamh…”

He broke the silence, his voice low and tinged with bitterness.

Niamh glanced over, momentarily drawn by the sound.

But only for an instant.

When Jonathan didn’t continue, she turned away, refocusing on her conversation with Elmer about work.

Just as she and Elmer were about to leave the lobby, Jonathan called out again.

“I need to talk to you.”

He quickly added, “It’s important.”

As Niamh turned, Elmer gently caught her wrist.

Jonathan’s expression darkened.

Niamh smiled at Elmer, then addressed Jonathan. “Sorry, I’m in the middle of something. If you need to talk, you can schedule a time with my assistant.”

“I want to talk now.”

There was urgency in Jonathan’s voice, a pressuring edge beneath the calm.

Niamh looked at him, her exasperated gaze hitting Jonathan like a punch to the chest.

“Then you’ll have to wait until I’m done.”

“Fine.”

He agreed instantly.

But “wait” turned out to mean three hours.

Jonathan stood there, as motionless as a lamppost, waiting for Niamh the entire time without complaint.

Three hours later, Niamh finally finished her urgent tasks. She emerged with Elmer, the two sharing an easy laugh on their way out.

“Niamh…”

Jonathan’s voice stopped her in her tracks.

It was in that moment Jonathan realized—Niamh had completely forgotten he was still there.
