His Housewife Had Secret Identities novel Chapter 288

She was afraid of giving herself away, so her first stop was a beauty salon, where she had all the love bites on her skin expertly concealed. Then, she made an appointment for a hymenoplasty later that day.

Last time hadn’t worked, but she refused to give up.

Sliding into her own car, Marina pulled off her hat, scarf, gloves, and sunglasses, then took a deep breath.

She needed to be ready for the next time.

No matter when Jonathan finally decided to touch her, she had to make sure she was a virgin.

She picked up her phone and checked her calls.

No missed calls.

It had been two days since she’d drugged him, yet Jonathan hadn’t called her once. Not a single message on WhatsApp, either.

A sense of dread settled in her chest.

More than once, she almost called him herself.

But every time she picked up her phone, she lost her nerve and set it down again.

After all, both she and Jonathan had been drugged that night. If she reached out to explain, it would only make her look more suspicious.

Still, the fact that Jonathan had left her alone after what happened—that was enough to make anyone angry.

But Marina worried that if she started a standoff, it would become real, and then there’d be no way back.

She sat, wracked with indecision, her thoughts a tangled mess.

Suddenly, her phone rang in her hand.

Startled, heart pounding with hope, she glanced at the screen—

It wasn’t Jonathan.

Disappointment washed over her as she answered the call.

It was Joker, calling to say he was leaving Aldenville.

Or, more precisely—

He was leaving Aldonia altogether.

“Oh, and just so you know—too many hymen repairs, and it starts to show…” he added with a mocking edge.
