His Housewife Had Secret Identities novel Chapter 596

This wasn't the way back to The Thomas Group.

"We're going to the mall," Jonathan announced.

"The mall?" Niamh asked, confused.

True to his word, Jonathan drove into the parking garage of a shopping mall.

After crossing the overpass, they had entered a newly developed district of Aldenville.

The mall was new, and Niamh had never been here before.

"What did you bring me here for?"

"To buy some new clothes. That outfit isn't very practical."

At his words, Niamh glanced down at her dress.

She was still in the black formal gown from the opening ceremony, though she had taken off the yellow diamond necklace before meeting Jarrett.

"What's not practical about it? Are you planning to take me to run a marathon?"

Niamh's quip made Jonathan chuckle. "Not a marathon, but something else... and that dress definitely won't work."

He grabbed her hand and pulled her into the mall.

Frowning, Niamh yanked her hand away as soon as they were through the doors.

"Jonathan, please be mindful of your position."

Seeing her annoyance, Jonathan sheepishly withdrew his hand.

Though Niamh had no idea what he was up to, she followed him into a women's clothing store.

It wasn't just a boutique but a trendy streetwear brand.

Jonathan picked out two casual outfits for her. "Go try them on."

Niamh crossed her arms, giving him a baffled look. "Are you buying these for me?"

Jonathan shook his head with a smile. "My salary is barely enough to get by; I can't afford this brand."

Niamh was speechless.

The man had bought jewelry worth tens of millions but was now pleading poverty to her.

Taking the two outfits from him, Niamh went into the fitting room.

The red sun was about to sink below the horizon, and the line where water met sky shimmered like a layer of rose gold.

"This is..." Niamh's eyes widened.

"The new bungee jumping site," Jonathan said, pointing to the staff and ropes at the cliff's edge.

"Why did you bring me bungee jumping?" Niamh asked, but this time, all she received was a knowing smile from Jonathan.

Bathed in the glow of the sunset, his smile held a warmth she rarely saw, and his eyes seemed to shine even brighter.

"Have you ever gone bungee jumping before?" he asked her.

"No," she replied, shaking her head.

"Me neither," Jonathan said calmly, his face showing no trace of fear.

He looked nothing like a first-timer.

He didn't ask if she dared to jump or even if she wanted to, instead telling the staff directly that they would be jumping together.

Back in the imperial blue Bentley, Niamh's phone was ringing.

The caller ID showed Elmer's name.
