“You really don’t have to. I already told you, I didn’t mean anything by it. I just wanted to help you…”
Seeing his anxious expression, Danielle felt a flicker of warmth. River Atwood was a kind man, but it was a kindness she was destined to be unable to accept.
She shook her head gently, her voice soft but firm. “Engineer Atwood, please don’t overthink it. My resignation has nothing to do with you. I just want to move back to Northridge City to take care of Niki. It’s nothing more than that.”
She paused before adding, “You are a very good person—upright, kind, and dedicated to your work. I’m sure you’ll meet someone much better than me someday and find your own happiness.”
River Atwood’s fingers tightened around the report, his knuckles turning white. He was silent for a few seconds before he finally spoke. “I understand.”
“I was too forward. I shouldn’t have imposed my own ideas on you.”
“I wish you all the best in Northridge City, and I hope Niki stays healthy and happy.”
“Thank you.” Danielle smiled. “I’ll need your help wrapping up the project during this final period. I’ll be in touch if there’s anything that needs clarification.”
“Of course.” River Atwood nodded and turned to walk back to the lab, his steps much slower than usual.
Danielle watched him go, a sense of wistfulness washing over her. She knew it took courage to reject someone’s kindness, but a clean break was better than a prolonged ache. It was better to be clear now than to let him hold onto false hope and cause more pain later.
In the following days, Danielle threw herself completely into the project handover.

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 :(...

Oh poor Bianca... regrets, regrets :)...
This is it! Revenge. Way to go Dani....
OMG! Chapters 451-462 had me on edge. I wish we could also read Alexander's POV. I swear I want to punch him and Millie. This story is kind of a push and pull. The main character will win some, then lose some. Hope the writer gives Danielle a big win....
