The Wife You Buried Is Back from Hell novel Chapter 551

There was a hint of testing in the man's words, as if he were probing for something.

Through the fog of confusion, Danielle managed to catch his meaning. Maybe his return this time was all about seizing power. The ambition in his eyes was impossible to miss.

But no matter what, this was a Davidson family affair—something between the brothers. It had nothing to do with her.

Danielle lowered her gaze, her voice calm and emotionless. “Then I wish you the best, Nathan. May you get everything you want.”

Nathan was taken aback by her response. “Doesn’t it hurt you at all?” he asked quietly, watching her closely. He knew she’d loved Alexander.

“You’re not going to intervene?” Nathan pressed, “When the time comes, whose side will you be on?”

It wasn’t a surprising question. He was well aware of her feelings for Alexander. Or, at least, the woman she used to be.

“You’re overthinking this,” Danielle replied with a slight smile. “This is between you and Alexander. It has nothing to do with me.”

“You also know we’re divorced now, and there’s nothing left between us. Your family’s business isn’t my concern.”

Nathan looked at her for a long moment, seeing just how distant she’d become. It was obvious she intended to keep her distance from the Davidsons.

“He let you down. Does that mean you can’t trust any of us? He made mistakes, but as his brother, I can make it right for you.”

Nathan’s Adam’s apple bobbed as he swallowed. His gaze was deep and earnest. “I just hope you don’t judge me by his actions. I’m not the same as him.”

Danielle knew exactly where she stood. She wasn’t someone who confused right and wrong. “You are you, Nathan. He is himself. Don’t worry—I won’t lump you together.”

Nathan studied her face, then asked, “Grandma’s birthday dinner is in a couple of days. The family’s hosting it. Will you come?”

The way he said “come back” carried a weight she didn’t miss.

Danielle answered evenly, “I’ll be there.”

She wouldn’t miss Grandma’s birthday celebration.

Nathan nodded, a smile flickering in his eyes. He added, “And please, help me keep my injury a secret, if you can.”

“You don’t need to stay here tonight to look after me. Go home.”

Danielle hesitated, lingering where she stood. After all, he’d been hurt because of her.

Nathan gave her a gentle look. “When did you get so hesitant? There’s no need to be so formal with me. Don’t feel guilty. I chose to take that knife for you.”

“I’m not going to use it as leverage to force you into anything you don’t want to do.”

“If you’re unhappy, then I can’t be happy, either.”
