The Wife You Buried Is Back from Hell novel Chapter 497

Millie pressed her lips together, suddenly struck by another possibility behind Alexander’s public statement earlier that day.

Of course he’d step up and clarify things—it was only right. After all, it made sense to show that he and Danielle had ended things amicably, that their marriage had dissolved through mutual agreement.

Otherwise, there’d still be room for people to question her own reputation, even if today’s scandal only pinned the blame on Danielle’s affair.

But all these precautions had to be carefully orchestrated.

Oddly enough, thinking through these details brought Millie a measure of comfort.

From what she knew about Alexander, he was meticulous, thorough to a fault. He handled every matter with absolute care, never leaving loose ends.

He was dependable, responsible—a man who, if he wanted to marry her, would make sure the path ahead was smooth, never letting her worry about a thing.

When everything was finally settled, that would be the moment he’d propose.

She shared her thoughts with her mother.

Leanne listened, then drew a deep breath.

“So your plan is to just wait for him to come and sweep you off your feet? Let him do all the work while you reap the benefits?”

She continued, her tone gentle but firm, “If the two of you really do get married, you’ll have to face every challenge together. That’s how a couple strengthens their bond—by tackling problems hand in hand, not leaving it all to one person.”

“If you try to ease his burdens now, he’ll only appreciate you more, see how mature and thoughtful you are.”

Millie paused, her heart skipping at her mother’s words.

Leanne was right.

Going through things together—solving problems side by side—was what deepened a relationship.

Alexander might be paving the way, doing everything he could for her, but she couldn’t just sit back and enjoy the ride.

She needed to find the right time to open up to him, to have an honest conversation.

That way, whatever challenges came their way, they’d face them together.

That, she realized, was the truest proof of love.

The celebratory dinner after the successful satellite launch was a gathering of top executives and leading engineers.

The Davidson family was there, along with Alexander, to mark the occasion.

If not for the work that still lay ahead, they might have hosted a proper celebration. But with follow-up tasks pressing, tonight’s dinner was brief—just a meal before everyone returned to their stations.

The restaurant was an upscale hotel. Several large tables filled the room.
