His Housewife Had Secret Identities novel Chapter 537

It happened in a stifling classroom.

They called themselves students, but in truth, they were prisoners.

The first time Jonathan saw Rina, he couldn't help but look at her twice.

There was just something different about her.

Her hair was long and curled, dyed a striking silver-grey, and she wore metal braces that flashed when she spoke. There was an untamed defiance in her eyes and the set of her brow.

Despite her delicate features, freckles were scattered boldly across her face.

So at first, Jonathan didn’t even think she was particularly pretty.

Now, as Jonathan stared at Niamh’s sleeping face, he found himself, for reasons he couldn’t explain, overlaying her features with the memory of Rina.

“No…”

He shut his eyes, shaking his head forcefully.

He’d stopped searching for Rina a long time ago.

It was his impatience and desperate hope to see Rina again that made him mistake Marina for her the moment he heard the piano playing.

That night, he stood in the rain outside the Juvenile Rehabilitation Center until morning.

He was saying goodbye to his old self.

He’d made the choice to move forward.

Back then, he’d taken his first love seriously.

And now, he was just as serious about this new beginning.

Slowly, Jonathan leaned closer to Niamh.

Her sleeping face drew him in, almost as if she were casting a spell.

His gaze settled on her lips, slightly parted, her breath calm and steady.

He could almost catch the faint scent of fruit.

He wasn’t sure if it was something sweet she’d dabbed on her lips, or if Niamh’s mouth was simply that inviting.

He could hear the pounding of his own heart.

Moving closer, he tried to press his lips to hers.

But just as they touched, Niamh turned her head away in her sleep.

Jonathan frowned, frustration and disappointment mingling in his chest.

Niamh didn’t wake. She kept on sleeping, peaceful and unaware.
