Divorce Failed My Wife's Secret Identities Shock the World novel Chapter 1157

The explosion outside Benjamin's house had looked terrifying, but it was essentially a false alarm.

Maeve's car had been modified with military-grade materials. The moment the bomb was planted, the vehicle's smart system instantly engaged its anti-explosion protocols.

The blast did go off, but it was all bark and no bite.

Aside from the dramatic black smoke, the car suffered barely any structural damage.

The instant the bomb detonated, Andres had instinctively used his own body as a human shield to protect Maeve.

The shockwave knocked everyone nearby to the ground.

Terrified that the heavily pregnant Maeve would get hurt, Andres had thrown himself down to act as her physical cushion.

As a result, his injuries were just superficial cuts from flying debris.

It looked a bit gruesome at the time, but it was just broken skin. It wasn't serious in the slightest.

The real reason he survived was the Purple Jade Thumb Ring Maeve had gifted him.

It wasn't just a piece of jewelry; it was a protective talisman that could literally save a life in a critical moment.

With all those layers of protection, getting seriously hurt was virtually impossible.

In the immediate aftermath, Andres had ordered a total information blackout.

His goal was to make the mastermind lower their guard, buying him the precious time he needed to launch a lethal counterattack.

He also used the opportunity to spirit his wife back to Azure Bay, where they spent their days completely wrapped up in their own private world.

As for the dramatic bandages wrapped all over him, that was purely Maeve's way of pranking him.

He only had himself to blame. He had constantly played the dying victim to milk her sympathy and score relationship points.

What kind of points? He just wanted his wife to dote on him and shower him with affection.

"Whitty, even if you don't play the victim, I still remember everything you do for me."

Maeve realized that Andres lacked a deep sense of security in their relationship.
