His Housewife Had Secret Identities novel Chapter 541

Though Niamh had mostly been a homemaker in the past, it wasn’t as if she’d never accompanied Jonathan to formal events.

Back then, everything about her appearance—her dress, her jewelry, even what she ordered for dinner—was decided by Jonathan.

He never asked for her opinion, never gave her any say in the matter.

She’d been little more than a beautiful ornament, always following Jonathan’s lead without question.

But tonight was different.

Even when Elmer had invited her here for dinner once before, he’d arranged everything in advance: the evening gown, the accessories—all picked out for her. She was never given a choice.

Yet this time, Jonathan had filled an entire room with outfits for her to choose from.

Even the menu—before placing the order, he’d asked what she wanted.

He’d handed her the power to decide.

That was something the Jonathan she’d known would never have done. But it was exactly what Jonathan, back in his days at the Juvenile Rehabilitation Center, would have done.

For a fleeting moment, Niamh wondered if Jonathan had really changed at all.

When the food arrived, Niamh was surprised to see that Jonathan had ordered the exact same meal as her—a set menu, option C.

And set menu C included garlic butter lobster.

As far as Niamh could remember, Jonathan never ate garlic.

He always said it upset his stomach, though Niamh suspected it was just the taste he didn’t like—cooked garlic wasn’t that harsh.

She watched him now as he picked up his fork and knife, eating with his usual elegance. Without hesitation, he brought a piece of garlic butter lobster to his lips.

Still, his eyebrows knit together, twisted as tight as rope.

It was the first time Niamh had ever seen Jonathan force himself to eat something he disliked.

His expression was almost comical, and Niamh couldn’t help but laugh quietly.
