His Housewife Had Secret Identities novel Chapter 125

Jonathan was watching her too, his eyes flashing a blatant warning.

Niamh thought, if she asked for a divorce right here and now, Clifford would probably agree. Even if he didn't want to, he would still respect her choice.

But…

She couldn't get the words out.

It wasn't because of Jonathan's threat earlier. The truth was, Clifford was still in the hospital, recovering, and any emotional shock could be dangerous for him. His heart had always been fragile, and this latest episode most likely had nothing to do with her trending online. Clifford had never been the type to browse the internet anyway.

He must have found out that Sprague had drawn up divorce papers for her and Jonathan, and the stress had landed him in the hospital.

Niamh couldn't risk upsetting her grandfather again. If anything happened to him because of her, she'd never forgive herself.

"I want to… resign," Niamh said solemnly.

Jonathan's eyes flickered with surprise.

"Resign? That's wonderful!" Marigold practically clapped with glee. "You shouldn't be working anyway—the Thomas family can more than afford to take care of you. Once you quit, you can focus on being a good wife and homemaker, just like before… Last time, you lost the baby because you weren't experienced. Now you're healthy again, so you should start thinking about having a child."

"Your mother's right," Sprague chimed in. "Now's the perfect time to leave your job and focus on starting a family."

Marigold and Sprague went back and forth, their words cutting Niamh like reopened wounds. She realized then that no one in the Thomas family seemed to know the truth—that her miscarriage had been no accident, but Jonathan's deliberate doing.

If she hadn't overheard Jonathan back then, she would never have known. He hadn't just ended their first child on purpose; he'd been so brutal that she was told she might never conceive again.

No child meant she'd never be a mother, never truly the lady of the Thomas family. Just a dutiful, long-suffering housekeeper.
