The Wife You Buried Is Back from Hell novel Chapter 44

Would Dad actually praise her for how well she'd done today?

Danielle saw Alexander blocking the driver's side door and glanced at him. "Is there something you need?"

Alexander's gaze dropped to her hand—no wedding ring. His tone grew even colder. "Come home with me."

"Did you hit your head and forget something?"

Danielle looked up at him, ready to bring up the divorce agreement, but with Niki standing there, she didn't want to fight with Alexander in front of her.

She took a steadying breath. "Move."

"You're still not satisfied with how things were handled today?"

His voice was calm, as if they were discussing what to have for lunch.

Danielle let out a sharp laugh and set the things in her hand down on the hood of the car, meeting his eyes. "Alexander, do you really think the way you handled things was some kind of favor to Niki?"

"The truth is Raffy messed up and then accused Niki of cheating. He was the one who pushed her first. You can't just turn a blind eye to right and wrong because you favor Raffy."

Alexander stared at her in silence. "Raffy turned out this way because of your parenting, didn't he?"

"If you treated Niki and Raffy equally, do you really think there'd be such a gap between them?"

Danielle laughed, hollow and tired.

So he thought she was the one playing favorites.

After all these years of raising the kids and holding the family together, this was what she got.

"Alexander, the first one to play favorites with the kids was you."

He crossed his arms and gave her a thin, amused smile. "So what, you're jealous I took Raffy to see Millie?"

"Raffy being close to Millie was bound to happen." He fixed his gaze on Danielle. "He's still your son if you let him be."

"But you shouldn't take things out on Millie, or blame Raffy because of her."

Danielle's lips curled in a cold, mocking smile.

So now she was the unreasonable one?

He'd come to settle scores, all for Millie and her son.

Sure, Raffy was Millie's biological child—of course they'd be close.
