Alex watched him for a moment.
Then he spoke.
"Come here."
Alex reached out his hand, his tone perfectly level. "Sit next to me."
Danielle's heart did a nervous flip, but she didn't interfere.
She knew Alex wasn't going to pressure the boy. He just needed answers. He needed to pull the splinter out of his mind to see things clearly.
Raffy hesitated for a split second before unbuckling his seatbelt.
His tiny frame awkwardly shuffled across the backseat, carefully taking the spot next to Alex. He kept his head down, his small hands anxiously gripping the hem of his wet shirt.
Seeing the boy's soaked hair, Alex felt a pang of sympathy.
This child was too sensible—so sensible it hurt.
Whenever something went wrong, his first reaction wasn't to cry or seek comfort, but to feel guilty, withdraw, and worry about causing trouble for the adults.
He reached out, pulling off his own half-damp jacket.
He draped it gently over Raffy's shoulders, cocooning the boy's small shivering frame, before asking softly, "You said earlier that Harold Chapman brought you here, right?"
Raffy nodded. "Yeah."
"When was this?" Alex's pace was slow, measured. "Do you remember? Was it a long time ago, or recently?"
"A long... a long time ago," Raffy recalled in a small voice. "Back then, he hadn't left yet."
Sitting in the front, Danielle felt a sharp squeeze in her chest.
That would mean it was before Harold Chapman had completely disappeared from the grid.


"I was scared back then, so I didn't dare make a sound."
No talking, no running around, dragging a child into remote mountains—
That perfectly aligned with Harold Chapman's cautious, ruthless, untraceable nature.

"Did you see anyone else on the way?" Alex asked. "Any cars, houses, or other people?"
Raffy shook his head. "No one else. Just the two of us."
Alex fell silent for a moment before asking, "Where did you end up? Do you remember? What did it look like?"
It was the most critical question of all.

The readers' comments on the novel: The Wife You Buried Is Back from Hell
Although she was one of the protagonist (and best friend of Danielle), I'm really annoyed with Kristen. What does she actually want? She wants to be completely free from Gian, whatever their business is. But when Gian doesn't care about her, she gets annoyed and overthinks. Hey, Kristen, the world doesn't revolve around you. You may follow your own feelings, but that doesn't mean you can ignore other people's feelings at all!...
It seems like this novel will end at chapter 5000. Every time one issue ends, another one pops up, and it seems like the author is just trying to drag it out. I'm starting to get tired of reading it....
I hope daniele will have no end game with alexander since whatever the reason is, he only give her too much grievencess. I hope there will be another male character with stronger present than alexander to have the end game with daniele. Hated that in the name of love or protection alexander can treat another woman better, not just once, but with this new lorie girl... Oh my blood pressure getting higher cause by the new plot :(...
