His Housewife Had Secret Identities novel Chapter 128

She tried to stand, wanting to get out of the room, but as soon as she put weight on her legs, they gave out beneath her. Instinctively, she reached out and grabbed Jonathan's arm for support.

The moment her hand touched him, it was as if she'd been stung by a wasp. She jerked her hand away instantly.

Jonathan's eyes darkened, and a cold, almost amused smile played at the corner of his lips.

Without another word, he scooped Niamh up and carried her back to the bedroom. He laid her gently on the bed and handed her a bottle of sports drink and a chocolate bar.

Niamh stared blankly as she took the snacks from his hand.

Three years of marriage, and this seemed to be the first time Jonathan had ever so openly shown her such care and consideration.

Whether it was the long soak in the hot spring or something else entirely, Niamh felt a strange warmth spreading through her body.

"Feeling any better?" Jonathan asked.

Niamh avoided his gaze, uncomfortable with the unexpected softness in his eyes.

She wasn't used to this.

"Yeah… much better," she murmured.

As soon as she spoke, Jonathan picked up his phone and started a new video call with Marina.

On screen, Marina asked, "What happened? Why did you hang up so suddenly?"

Jonathan replied casually, "Nothing—just rescued a stray cat from the pool."

He spoke as he left the room, not even glancing back at Niamh.

Lying on the bed, Niamh felt the warmth that had just filled her ebbing away, replaced by a familiar chill.

Clifford had hoped Niamh and Jonathan would stay at the resort for a few more days, secretly wishing they might rekindle their relationship if given the chance.

He knew how deeply Niamh loved Jonathan.

But since Niamh insisted on leaving, he couldn't force her to stay.

After leaving the hot spring resort, Niamh went straight to The Thomas Group to begin her resignation process.

HR handled her departure by the book—an exit interview, some paperwork, and a quick financial settlement. It shouldn't take long.

But when it came to transitioning her workload, Marina insisted she stay until the end of the month.
