Divorce Failed My Wife's Secret Identities Shock the World novel Chapter 657

Simon clearly hadn't expected Andres to insert himself into a private call with Maeve. After a few seconds of silence, Simon said with a teasing lilt, "Do you know who's flying back into the country soon?"

Instinct warned Andres that Simon was about to drive a wedge between him and Maeve. Before Simon could drop the name, Andres reached out and ended the call for her.

Worried his action would piss her off, he quickly explained, "Don't listen to his nonsense."

Maeve popped the last bite of her breakfast into her mouth and raised an eyebrow. "So who exactly is flying back?"

Since he was doomed either way, Andres opted for honesty. "Nancy Grover."

Maeve didn't pause her chewing at the mention of the name. She asked, as casually as if discussing the weather, "Ex-girlfriend?"

Andres neither confirmed nor denied it. "We saw each other for a bit."

"So she's the 'white moonlight' ex, then?" she prodded.

Andres strongly rejected the label. "Hardly!"

Who the hell was this now? Andres was practically suffocating from frustration. Why did she have so many mysterious friends?

Maeve picked up her phone and stood to leave, patting his shoulder as she walked past. "It's fine. I don't really care about your exes. We're adults. Everyone has a past. Anyone without one has some kind of medical or psychological issue. If you want to rekindle things with her, go for it. Just don't let me catch you sneaking around. Once we figure out how to break The Binding between us, I'll even buy you a nice wedding gift."

Panic surged through Andres. He caught her wrist. "We are legally married, and I would never sneak around with another woman."

Maeve shook off his hand. "Our marriage is a joke. If we told people, no one would believe it. Andres, I completely understand how you felt when we first met."
