His Housewife Had Secret Identities novel Chapter 145

Niamh never imagined that her reunion with Julian would happen like this.

Julian, too, looked surprised when he saw her.

It had been a while since they last met, and the boyishness that once lingered on Julian's face had given way to a more mature, charismatic presence. In his tailored suit, he no longer looked like a fresh college graduate, but a man who had already made his mark in the business world.

"Julian, do you know this lady?" Susy Fraser asked, turning toward him.

Julian's gaze remained fixed on Niamh. His lips parted slightly, as if he was searching for the right words, uncertain and hesitant. He didn't answer right away.

Instead, it was Peter who stepped in to introduce Niamh to Susy. "Ms. Fraser, this is Niamh—she's my girlfriend."

Niamh shot Peter a wide-eyed look, her expression clearly asking why he insisted on introducing her to everyone as his girlfriend.

Julian's composure slipped for a moment, despite his best effort to appear unaffected. Just a few days ago, Marcus had been dropping hints that Niamh was already married—and to Jonathan, no less.

So, as far as he knew, Niamh and Jonathan hadn't divorced. Now she was here with Peter? What did that mean?

Julian clenched his fist, torn between wanting to ask and not knowing how.

A sudden hush fell over the group. Peter, with a careless shrug, added, "Just kidding. She's a friend."

Susy glanced at Julian, certain that the tension in his shoulders eased the moment Peter clarified.

"Julian, aren't you going to introduce me?" Susy prompted him gently.

Snapped out of his reverie, Julian finally spoke. "This is Susy...my fiancée."

The word "fiancée" caught Niamh off guard.

But she quickly realized she was overreacting. Given Julian's family background, it was perfectly reasonable for him to be engaged to someone of similar social standing.
