Divorce Failed My Wife's Secret Identities Shock the World novel Chapter 1142

"I just haven't had a good night's sleep in a few days," Serenity explained.

Maeve wanted to press further, but Andres gently intervened.

"Maeve, we're home now. Take a deep breath and calm down."

Maeve realized she was running on pure adrenaline.

Her family was her ultimate weakness; the slightest hint of danger sent her spiraling into a panic.

Serenity guided them to the living room and waited until they sat down before explaining.

"We've had a few minor hiccups over the last couple of days, and I've been letting them get under my skin."

"I kept my phone off because there were certain people I absolutely refused to talk to."

"As for your father, he's out handling a few things. He should be back soon."

Andres leaned forward slightly. "Does this 'minor hiccup' have something to do with your background, Serenity?"

Serenity looked surprised. "How did you know?"

Andres was, of course, making an educated guess.

"Julian mentioned it briefly the last time we spoke at the White Manor."

"He said you were still deeply bothered by how you ended up in an orphanage and wanted to uncover the truth about your birth family."

Serenity nodded slowly. "Everyone deserves to know where they came from."

If she couldn't even figure out her own origins, she felt like she'd be living a lie.

Andres glanced at Maeve, his eyes silently asking: *Since you're a master of the Mystic Order, why didn't you just use your skills to trace your mother's roots?*

Maeve read his expression perfectly.

"There's a rule in my line of work. We can't casually meddle in the fate of our direct bloodline. It brings bad luck to me, and even worse luck to my relatives."

Serenity patted her daughter's hand gently.
