The Wife You Buried Is Back from Hell novel Chapter 1137

As Danielle watched Alexander get up and organize his files, her fingers unconsciously traced the armrest of the sofa.

“It’s late,” she said softly. “You should get some proper rest. The work can wait.”

Alexander paused and turned to look at her, his gaze deep and intense.

He pressed his lips together, his Adam’s apple bobbing, but didn't answer right away.

Work wasn't something he could just drop. The 07 Project was in its final, critical phase. Harold and Lorie were secretly applying pressure from all sides, and payment reminders from their partners were piling up. The tech team had also hit a thorny parameter optimization issue. Everything was waiting for his final decision.

But for some reason, seeing the genuine concern in Danielle’s eyes, the urgent need to rush back to the office began to fade. He suddenly found he didn't want to leave. This house held Niki’s steady breathing, the faint, pleasant scent that clung to Danielle, and a comforting sense of home he hadn't felt in a long time. Compared to the empty, cold office filled with nothing but files and artificial light, this place felt more like a harbor where he could finally let his guard down.

Danielle could feel the shift in the atmosphere around him. She looked at him and said, “You know, the work will never be finished. Maybe I can help.”
