The Wife You Buried Is Back from Hell novel Chapter 79

The next day.

Danielle didn't go to Ninesky Technologies. Instead, she decided to pick out a dress for the upcoming birthday celebration.

She'd refused Alexander's offer to go dress shopping together—spending another minute with him was the last thing she wanted.

Danielle hailed a cab and arrived at the boutique. Inside, she wandered for a while, overwhelmed by the endless racks of evening gowns in every imaginable style and shade.

Finally, she settled on a pale mermaid dress. Just as she reached out for it, another hand shot in from the side. Both women gripped the same hanger at once.

Danielle looked up—straight into Millie's eyes.

Millie blinked in surprise, then feigned delight. "What a coincidence, Danielle!"

"You like this one too? I thought it was gorgeous. I really like it."

It was obvious Millie was trying to snatch it away from her.

Danielle couldn't help but marvel at Millie's shamelessness. No matter how strained things got between them, no matter how many icy encounters they'd had, Millie always greeted her as if nothing had happened, smiling as though they were the best of friends.

That level of emotional resilience was almost impressive.

Danielle shot a cool glance at Alexander.

Millie wanted to take her man, now she wanted her dress too? The man she could let go, but the dress—not a chance.

She gave a faint, dismissive smile. "Sorry, but this dress just isn't right for you."

Millie's expression faltered.

The dress was stunning, but it did require the right figure to pull it off. Her own curves weren't quite as generous as Danielle's, though she wasn't lacking elsewhere.

"Why don't you pick another one?" Danielle suggested.

Suddenly, a man's calm, authoritative voice came from behind.

Danielle felt her breath catch in her throat. The tone was so familiar—it could only be Alexander.

"Let her have it," he said, his words meant for Danielle.
