His Housewife Had Secret Identities novel Chapter 129

It was the first time she'd ever seen Jonathan in an apron.

Back when they'd depended on each other in the Juvenile Rehabilitation Center, or later when he'd waited for her outside the university gates, Jonathan had always seemed like someone who'd never set foot in a kitchen. In Niamh's memory, he was simply not the cooking type.

Three years of marriage, and Jonathan had never cooked a single meal.

In fact, if it hadn't been for that accidental run-in at the grocery store with Jonathan and Marina, Niamh wouldn't have even known he could cook.

She couldn't help but give him a once-over.

His apron wasn't some cutesy pink thing, but a deep navy, made of sturdy canvas—worn, roomy, and clearly not new.

It was obviously picked out specifically for Jonathan.

Which meant he was the one who usually cooked, not just putting on a show for this party.

Niamh couldn't quite put her finger on why, but the realization left an uncomfortable knot inside her.

"Niamh, you haven't tried Jonathan's cooking, have you? Go on, have a bite—it's really good."

Marina sauntered over, putting on a show as she handed Niamh a fork.

Niamh didn't take it.

"Niamh, you're leaving the company soon, but Marina still went out of her way to invite you. Don't be ungracious!"

Jayne's voice rang out from behind.

She technically wasn't supposed to be at this Design Division party, but her friendship with Marina had been her ticket in.

Niamh finally accepted the fork and picked up a piece of fried pork cutlet.

It tasted good—almost as good as her own. But she realized she didn't actually enjoy it.

When Niamh frowned, Marina asked with feigned concern, "What's wrong, not to your taste? Maybe I'm just used to Jonathan's cooking."

Marina beamed and leaned her head against Jonathan's shoulder, looking every inch the blissful partner. The cutlet in Niamh's mouth suddenly turned bland and flavorless.

This party had been Marina's idea—a favor she'd coaxed out of Jonathan.

After that trending topic online, too many people at work had gotten the wrong idea, thinking she'd come between Jonathan and Niamh's marriage.

But as far as Marina was concerned, she was never "the other woman."

She'd known Jonathan first.

She was his first love.
