The Wife You Buried Is Back from Hell novel Chapter 781

“We’ll go our separate ways. There’s no need for us to be tangled up in one another’s lives anymore.”

Rebecca hesitated, then let out a bitter laugh. “I used to think Alexander was the coldest person I’d ever met.”

“Ruthless in business, always keeping people at arm’s length—even when his own family tried to persuade him, he’d refuse without a second thought.”

“But now, looking at you, I realize you’re even colder.”

Danielle didn’t argue. She just pulled the corner of her mouth into a faint, humorless smile.

She knew exactly how cold she must seem. But this chilliness was a shield, forged from too many sleepless nights.

Rebecca watched as Danielle turned to leave. With a sigh, she added softly, “But the truth is, it’s often the coldest people who feel the most deeply.”

Her words, quiet but clear, drifted to Danielle. “It’s because you’re so afraid of getting hurt that you’ve wrapped your heart up so tightly, never letting anyone see even a hint of softness.”

“It’s not that you don’t care about him. It’s that you’re too scared to care anymore, isn’t it?”

Danielle froze mid-step, her back stiffening for a moment.

The night wind swept up fallen leaves, one landing gently on her shoulder before sliding away.

She didn’t look back or say a word. She just drew a slow, steady breath and hurried inside her building.

As her footsteps echoed in the hallway, the motion-activated lights flickered on, casting a warm yellow glow that gradually lit her way.

At the third-floor landing, Danielle fumbled for her keys, her fingers trembling ever so slightly.

Rebecca’s words had pierced right through the calm façade Danielle had fought so hard to maintain.

Not all lovers are destined for a happy ending.
