Divorce Failed My Wife's Secret Identities Shock the World novel Chapter 719

To avoid making her uncomfortable, Andres kept his recounting as concise as possible.

There were a million different fox designs in the world.

The sheer coincidence was that the online avatar and Nancy's purse charm were an eighty percent match.

Because of that fox, he had paid a little extra attention to her.

He was deeply grateful to the person who helped him.

But he wasn't stupid enough to inexplicably fall in love with someone just because of a keychain.

They only grew closer because her family also kept cold-blooded animals, including snakes.

When swapping pet care tips, they found common ground.

Slowly, they started spending more time together.

He wasn't even sure if he had developed actual feelings for her back then.

Because they attended a few events together, mutual friends started joking that they were a thing.

At the time, Nancy's parents heavily disapproved of her associating with him.

"You know how the White family operates. I had a whole bunch of older brothers and sisters, all products of my dad's affairs."

"Besides, I wasn't even the head of the family back then. My businesses were all overseas."

"I had just returned to the city, didn't have many connections, and my reputation couldn't compete with the top three families, including the Fulton family."

Maeve instantly caught the implication.

"So her family wanted her to marry Declan Fulton?"

She remembered now; when they were drinking at the bar, Jasper Jett had let slip that the famed Goddess of Aethelburg used to be engaged to the eldest Fulton son.

Naomi had gotten drunk that night over it.

At the cruise auction, the tension between Andres and Declan had been weird, too.

Looking back, all the strange little puzzle pieces finally fit together.

He didn't deny it.

"Her parents wanted her to settle down with a reliable man."

That was the absolute truth behind him and Nancy, from beginning to end.

There was no epic romance, no unforgettable heartbreak.

He only noticed her because of Lucifer.

Even when she fled the country, he had never once asked if she was the genius who cloned his snake.

He suspected her because her older brother, Simon Grover, was a medical prodigy.

Simon had founded Lab C at a very young age.

Cloning a snake from genetic tissue was child's play for a place like that.

Andres was a reserved man.

If she didn't bring it up, he wasn't going to ask.

He left everything up to fate.

Before he met Maeve, he had occasionally wondered if he really did love Nancy back then.
