His Housewife Had Secret Identities novel Chapter 223

“Excuse me, does Miss Rivers live here?”

The woman who walked in was a stranger to Lana.

But Niamh recognized her immediately.

“Ms. Fraser…”

Niamh hadn’t expected Susy to pay her a visit.

Of course, she wasn’t naïve enough to think Susy had brought a fruit basket just to make friends.

Susy politely asked if she could speak to Niamh alone, and Preston Winslow, taking the hint, stepped out.

Lana, however, was reluctant to leave.

By now, Niamh had introduced her—this was Susy, Julian’s fiancée.

Lana didn’t believe for a second that Susy didn’t know about Julian’s old feelings for Niamh.

For all she knew, Julian might still be harboring them.

The idea of leaving Niamh alone with Susy left Lana uneasy.

“It’s alright, Lana. Would you mind stepping out for a bit? Could you pick up some strawberries for me?”

Seeing that Niamh insisted, Lana finally relented and left the room.

Now, only Niamh and Susy remained in the hospital room.

Autumn had arrived, and the weather was turning chilly. The window was open, letting in a sharp breath of cold air that seemed to swirl between them.

“Miss Rivers, I hope you don’t mind me being blunt. As Julian’s fiancée, I think I have the right to understand the women around him…”

Susy’s voice was gentle and sincere, her manner gracious yet direct.

“May I ask, what exactly is your relationship with Julian?”

“We’re friends,” Niamh answered without hesitation.

“Just friends?”

“Just friends.”

Niamh gave a small nod.
