The Wife You Buried Is Back from Hell novel Chapter 1435

Dani's heart skipped a beat.

Every nerve in her body suddenly snapped taut.

Since they had first mentioned divorce, barring a few unplanned moments, they hadn't shared any physical intimacy.

The sheer, ridiculous tension of the moment left her completely flustered.

"No," she finally managed to say.

Alex let out a quiet breath of relief, though a pang of bittersweet ache quickly followed.

Leaning his head against the cold tile, he rubbed his forehead, forcing back the pain radiating through his bruised ribs. He softened his voice. "I just finished anyway. My hair is still wet."

Dani hummed quietly in response, her thumb brushing over the screen of her phone. She was looking at one of their few photos together. In it, she was beaming, while he looked characteristically stoic.

It always seemed like he kept his emotions locked away.

It was a snapshot of who they were years ago, before everything fell apart.

Stroking the glass softly, she asked, "How are things over there? Have you found any trace of Harold?"

The shift back to business cleared the air slightly.

Staying propped against the wall, his tone grew serious. "We found him. He's hiding out in the old port district, on the outskirts. It's his old stomping grounds—a maze with heavy security. His people run the place, so getting close isn't an option right now."

"I did some recon tonight. Narrowly avoided getting spotted by his patrols."

He deliberately downplayed the infiltration, completely omitting the brutal, life-or-death brawl in his bedroom just minutes ago. He didn't want to panic her.

But Dani was far too perceptive. She caught the subtle exhaustion beneath his calm facade immediately.
