The Wife You Buried Is Back from Hell novel Chapter 756

She crouched down in front of Niki, gently brushing her daughter’s soft hair with her fingertips. “Niki, this is your father’s house. We… might be staying here for a while.”

The cloth doll in Niki’s hands was squished so tightly that it had lost its shape. She tilted her small face upward, her clear eyes brimming with confusion.

Her father’s house? That phrase felt as distant as a castle from a fairy tale.

Her father was that man, always in perfectly pressed suits, his gaze cold and unyielding—the man who made her mother fall silent every time his name came up. The man she’d glimpsed only a handful of times, never daring to actually call him “Dad.” And now, she was standing in front of this beautiful house he owned.

A tiny frown creased her forehead. Inside, one small voice was fluttering with hope, while another shrank back in fear.

Her father never wanted to acknowledge her. At preschool, the other kids had dads who picked them up and dropped them off. She could only watch as her brother was greeted by their father, while she herself remained invisible.

But now, Mom was saying they’d be living at Dad’s house. Did that mean… did that mean Dad was finally willing to accept her?

The thought rooted itself in her heart, a tiny seed beginning to sprout.

Niki pressed her lips together and hugged her doll even tighter. Then she looked up at Danielle and nodded obediently, her voice barely more than a whisper. “Okay.”

Danielle’s heart twisted at her daughter’s quiet, grown-up response, leaving her both achy and tender inside.

She stood up, taking Niki’s hand, and together they stepped through the front door of the villa.

The marble foyer gleamed beneath their feet, reflecting their slender figures and making them seem even smaller.

Alexander was seated on the living room sofa, a thin blanket draped over his shoulders. He’d just come down from upstairs.

Hearing their footsteps, he glanced over. His gaze lingered briefly on Danielle before settling on the little girl by her side.
