The Wife You Buried Is Back from Hell novel Chapter 524

After all, he would always be Millie’s backbone. And Liam—well, technically, he was Alexander’s uncle, but regardless of family ties, Alexander would never turn his back on them.

Gian had only two words for it:

Cold-blooded.

Alexander was the kind of man whose veins ran with ice.

He felt nothing for Danielle. No matter the situation, he could always back her into a corner.

As for the paternity test—

That evening, Danielle made a trip back to the old family estate to visit her grandmother, who’d been resting there since she was discharged from the hospital.

What Danielle hadn’t expected was to find Alexander and Raffy there too. They’d come to see Grandma as well.

Bianca greeted Danielle just as warmly as always, fussing over her with treats and drinks.

Alexander lounged on the sofa, legs crossed, while Raffy leaned against him. The boy’s brow was furrowed, his gaze fixed on Danielle with a silent intensity.

Grandma had told him Danielle was remarkable these days—more impressive than his own mother, even. But when he’d been kidnapped, she hadn’t lifted a finger to help him.

Raffy lowered his eyes, thoughtful, then looked up at Alexander.

“Dad?”

“Hm?”

“Does Mom even like me at all?” Raffy’s voice was small and defeated.

Alexander regarded him steadily for a few seconds before answering, “She likes you very much.”

“I mean her—” Raffy pointed at Danielle.

He just couldn’t see it. When Danielle was home, she’d only ever hovered over his studies, never letting him do anything, never letting him have any fun or eat treats. Whatever he did, she was always there to interfere.

He’d hated it.

Alexander’s gaze lingered on Danielle.

After checking on her grandmother, Danielle visited the bedroom and study as well. When she was ready to leave, Alexander offered to walk her out.

“I drove myself,” Danielle said, glancing at him. “Everyone knows we’re divorced. There’s no need to pretend anymore.”

Just then, Alexander’s phone rang. Millie’s name flashed on the screen. He hesitated, glanced at Danielle, then turned away to take the call.

Danielle gave a short, bitter laugh, then left and drove off.

She’d already arranged for someone else to handle the paternity test.

—

This year’s ISSDS European Grand Finals were being held in Emberwick.

On the eve of the competition, Danielle packed her bags, preparing to leave for the Emberwick Hotel.

When she came downstairs, she saw a Rolls-Royce waiting by the curb. The rear door swung open, and Nathan stepped out.

He strode over to take her luggage. “This competition is critical,” he said, dressed in crisp black, looking sharp as ever. “I’ll go with you. I’ve already booked your hotel.”
