His Housewife Had Secret Identities novel Chapter 28

Niamh was still reeling from the fact that, out of all people, it just had to be Jonathan and Marina who caught her at her lowest. What were the odds of that?

"That Jonathan is such a jerk!" Lana spat, practically seething. "You're hurt this bad and he just drives off? With that witch in tow, no less… He won't divorce you, but he'll cheat on you. Honestly, do you think he's got some kind of split personality or what?"

Lana's assessment of Jonathan drew a wry smile from Niamh.

Julian blushed, scratching the back of his head, shy but undeniably pleased.

Niamh felt a bit awkward—she hoped Julian wouldn't take Lana's words too seriously.
