The Wife You Buried Is Back from Hell novel Chapter 704

Danielle offered a gentle smile. “No, you’ve misunderstood, Nathan. I really wasn’t overthinking it.”

Nathan glanced at her, noticing how she was consciously keeping her distance. He pressed his lips together, then said, “Let me drive you home. It won’t take much of my time. You don’t have to be so formal with me, you know. We’re not strangers.”

Danielle finally nodded in agreement.

So she and Niki rode home with Nathan.

As he drove, Nathan glanced over. “I heard you’re giving a speech at tomorrow’s government-business summit. You’re not that little girl anymore—you keep impressing everyone.”

Danielle smiled modestly. “It’s just a small accomplishment. Nothing worth mentioning.”

Nathan chuckled and let the conversation fall away.

When they reached Danielle’s apartment, Nathan handed Niki a few new toys.

Niki’s eyes sparkled as she thanked her uncle. “Thank you, Uncle Nathan!”

He ruffled her hair, grinning. “You’re welcome.”

Niki liked him. He was her father’s brother, and his eyes looked so much like her dad’s—though there was something different in his gaze that she couldn’t quite name. She was too young to understand the feeling.

Danielle didn’t linger in small talk. She took her daughter’s hand, and together they went upstairs.

The next day.

A crisp autumn wind swept through the city, carrying a hint of chill.
