His Housewife Had Secret Identities novel Chapter 503

Elmer wasn’t wearing a suit today. Instead, he’d chosen a crisp white set of casual clothes.

Technically, Niamh had arrived at the museum first, but the way Elmer stood there—leaning lightly against the marble banister, hands in his pockets—made it seem as though he’d been waiting for her. And that he’d been waiting for a long time.

“You look surprised,” he said, a faint smile tugging at the corners of his mouth.

Elmer took a few steps toward her, closing the gap between them until they were only a pace apart.

Niamh shook her head, smiling. She was a little surprised to see him, but then again, she shouldn’t have been. Elmer always showed up for her, especially when she needed him most.

Seeing her soft smile, Elmer’s own expression warmed. He didn’t say anything more. There had always been a kind of quiet understanding between them—something deeper than words, a silent bond that was often more eloquent than conversation.

So they wandered through the halls of the Metropolitan Museum together, silently admiring the treasures of history. Shoulder to shoulder, they appeared both distant and intimately close at once.

Elmer didn’t ask what Niamh planned to do next. Niamh didn’t offer.

It was as if Marina’s assault—the horrific ordeal and the false accusations that had thrown Niamh into the center of a social media storm—were things that simply didn’t matter between the two of them.

They stayed until dusk, only leaving the museum when the last rays of sunlight faded from the city’s skyline.

Even though Niamh had driven herself, Elmer insisted on taking her home in his own car. She could see the worry in his eyes—he was genuinely afraid something might happen to her.

After all, Marina had pulled these kinds of publicity stunts before. There was no hard proof, but if Marina had been involved in Daniel Kingsley’s kidnapping attempt, it wasn’t hard to imagine she was behind the current smear campaign too.

And that last media storm had left real scars.

Still, looking back, Niamh realized that experience had made her stronger, steadier. And this time, with Elmer at her side, she didn’t feel so alone.

“Nia…”

Elmer walked her all the way to her front door.
