My Unborn Baby Chose My Husband for Me novel Chapter 385

Seraphina swallowed hard, suddenly finding it difficult to string a sentence together.

"Ooh~ Mommy is blushing."

Little Bean's gleeful thought popped into her head, and an embarrassed Seraphina blurted out, "Stop talking!"

She hadn't meant to say it out loud.

Lucian's playful smile froze. He snapped back into a rigid posture, only daring to steal glances at her from the corner of his eye.

Flustered, Seraphina aggressively turned her head toward the window, pretending to be deeply fascinated by the passing scenery.

Watching her turned back, Lucian softened his tone. "When Evie was ten, she was kidnapped. She saw the kidnappers' faces and was almost killed. Ever since then, she's suffered from severe PTSD. Any sudden emotional spike causes her to faint."

He paused, taking a breath before continuing. "Later, to protect her, we accommodated her every trigger and sent her overseas to a quiet environment to recover."

"After all these years, we never mentioned her to the media or anyone outside the family, just so she could live a peaceful life."

Right on cue, Little Bean chimed in. "Mommy, Dad is telling the truth. His heart rate is super steady. No signs of lying. But... he still handled this terribly."

Seraphina gave a quiet hum of agreement.

Lucian's intentions had been pure, but his execution was a disaster.

By choosing to hide the truth, he handed all the leverage directly to Melody Monroe.

If she and Lucian had ended up fighting over this, it would have been mutually assured destruction.

Fortunately, she had kept a cool head over the past few days and chosen to trust him.

She turned back to face him. "Your family's approach wasn't wrong."

Lucian offered a bitter smile, rubbing his thumb over the back of her hand. "But somehow, she found out I got married and went completely off the rails."

"Half a month ago, she started demanding that I get a divorce, threatening to fly back if I didn't."

"I thought I had managed to talk her down. I never expected her to secretly sneak back into the country."

Seraphina held his gaze, her expression turning serious. "Don't you think the whole thing is incredibly suspicious?"
