His Housewife Had Secret Identities novel Chapter 524

The real issue was that whenever she had to talk to him, Niamh just felt… unsettled.

A sudden thought struck Jonathan: Had he been treating Niamh the same way these past three years? Was he becoming more impatient, more dismissive, with every passing day?

A dull ache crept back into his temples, ruining the clarity he'd just regained.

The bedroom was dead silent.

The tension between them only grew, thickening the air until it was almost unbearable.

Jonathan could tell—Niamh wanted nothing more than to escape this room. She didn’t say a word, but her entire presence radiated discomfort, from the way she sat to the way she avoided his gaze.

Was it him? Had he gotten less attractive? Lost whatever charm he once had? Why had her attitude shifted so dramatically?

He remembered a time when Niamh’s world revolved around him. Now, she seemed desperate to put as much distance between them as possible.

“Could you… get me a glass of water?” Jonathan asked, breaking the silence.

He remembered how, whenever he was sick, Niamh would always bring him a perfectly warmed glass of water and a plate of fresh fruit, all without him ever having to ask.

He watched as Niamh stood up and filled a glass from the water cooler before handing it to him. It wasn’t the carefully boiled and cooled water he was used to, but it was warm enough.

The gentle heat seeped through the glass and into his fingers, spreading warmth all the way to his core. He hadn’t even taken a sip, but he already felt comforted.

Niamh watched as Jonathan drank from the glass she’d handed him. It was just a plain glass of water—nothing special, just hot and cold mixed together at the dispenser. Yet he sipped it as if it were a rare vintage, savoring every drop.

If she remembered correctly, they’d bought that water cooler right after their wedding. And unless Jonathan had actually changed the filters this year, who even knew what was in this water…

She picked up a bottle of mineral water for herself and drank in silence.
