The Wife You Buried Is Back from Hell novel Chapter 321

No. No way.

Millie immediately dismissed the thought as impossible.

When Danielle saw them heading over, she barely let her expression shift, but a small frown creased her brow.

She had just finished her phone call, and here they were, hurrying straight toward her. That could only mean one thing...

“What are you doing here?” Millie’s eyes narrowed. “This isn’t a place for you to be messing around.”

Danielle glanced at the group rushing into the room. Clearly, Merrick must have tipped them off about something.

They were looking for someone.

Danielle kept her face perfectly composed and said nothing. She intended to leave.

“Wait,” Millie called out sharply. “When did you come into this room? Did you see a man here?”

Her tone was demanding, her voice tight with urgency.

Danielle didn’t break stride. “Why should I answer you?”

With that, she walked away, her figure growing smaller down the hall.

Liam let out a quiet scoff. “She’s getting more and more arrogant. Anyone who didn’t know her would think she’d just won some kind of major award.”

Millie pressed her lips together, her frown deepening. Maybe they really were just a minute too late.

“Alex, what are you looking at?” Millie turned to Alexander, about to say something else, but noticed his gaze fixed on something in the distance.

“What is it?” Alexander asked, glancing back at her.

“I want to talk to Merrick again,” Millie said. “I need to ask what Sophia looks like.”

Merrick was always elusive—Millie genuinely wanted to see what this mysterious person was like, maybe even finally put a face to the name.

A big event like this was the only chance to cross paths with him. If she missed this window, there likely wouldn’t be another.

They doubled back to Merrick’s office, but by the time they arrived, he was already gone. The office was empty, and the silence made the space seem even larger.

“Why don’t we just check the security cameras? That’ll tell us who was here.”

After they left the terminal, Kirsten spoke up. “Mr. Chapman is really devoted to you, isn’t he? He came all the way here just to see you off.”

Danielle replied, “He’s just considerate.”

“Come on, you really don’t have any feelings for him?” Kirsten pressed. “Don’t tell me you’re going to stay hung up on one heartbreak forever. You can’t let a failed relationship stop you from trying again.”

Danielle sighed deeply, her grip on the suitcase handle tightening.

“I’m not planning on starting anything new right now.”

Truth was, she simply didn’t have the energy. Work was overwhelming, and she still had Niki to look after. Romance just wasn’t on her radar.

Kirsten narrowed her eyes. “You’re not—”

Before Kirsten could finish, Danielle cut her off. “Don’t insult me. Whatever you’re about to say, just keep it to yourself.”

Kirsten nodded, dropping the subject.

After all, it wasn’t easy to step into another relationship right after leaving one behind. Especially for someone like Danielle—she’d lost all faith in marriage, and in men, for that matter.
