The Wife You Buried Is Back from Hell novel Chapter 374

Niki clenched her fists, determination flashing in her eyes. “It doesn’t matter. Even if he’s competing too, I’m going to beat him and take first place. I want to make you proud, Mom.”

Danielle looked down at her daughter, her gaze gentle and warm. She smiled softly. “You’ll always be my best and sweetest girl, Niki. That has nothing to do with winning or losing. I don’t care what your score is—what matters is that you try your hardest and stay true to yourself. The results aren’t important.”

To Danielle, all that mattered was that her daughter grew up healthy and happy. These competitions were just hobbies, nothing more. If Niki enjoyed them, Danielle would support her wholeheartedly. She didn’t care about trophies or rankings.

Suddenly, a cheerful voice called from behind them. “Raffy, sweetheart!”

The moment Raffy spotted Millie, his face lit up. He dashed across the room, shouting, “Mom!” with uncontained excitement.

Danielle furrowed her brow and shifted aside, giving Raffy space to race past her and fling himself into Millie’s arms.

“I knew you’d come, Mom! Just watch—today I’m going to take first place and make you proud!” Raffy announced, brimming with confidence.

“Oh really?” Millie raised an eyebrow, a teasing smile on her lips. “Well, I’ll be waiting for your big win.”

Raffy beamed. “With a smart and amazing mom like you, I must have inherited some good genes—I definitely won’t let you down!”

He glanced at the man standing beside them. “And Dad’s pretty incredible too, so I got his brains as well.”

Alexander couldn’t help but chuckle. He reached out, tousling Raffy’s hair affectionately. “Do your best out there.”

Niki watched the three of them together—the picture-perfect family—and lowered her head. Her grip tightened. If her dad liked children who were smart and talented, then she was, too. She could be even better than her brother, even smarter. But somehow, it seemed like he just didn’t like her, no matter what she did.

She couldn’t remember when it started, when her father began to look at her with disappointment—or worse, indifference.

Danielle glanced at Niki, noticing the shift in her mood.
