The Wife You Buried Is Back from Hell novel Chapter 1279

“Of course,” Danielle said with a reassuring smile, wiping the tears from his face.

“Grandma cares about you, too. She’s just having a hard time processing everything. She’ll come around in a few days.”

After the bath, Danielle dried Raffy’s hair and led him to Niki’s room.

Niki was on the carpet, setting up a game of Five-in-a-Row.

When she saw Raffy, she bounced up to greet him, a black game piece still in her hand.

“Raffy, let’s play Five-in-a-Row!” Niki chirped.

Looking at her bright, cheerful face, some of the gloom in Raffy’s heart lifted, but he still couldn’t fully relax.

He nodded and slowly sat down on the carpet, pinching a game piece between his fingers, hesitating to make a move.

Niki didn't mind. She arranged the board, chattering as she did.

“You used to be so good at this game, Raffy. You always beat me.”

She looked up at him, her small face serious.

“You’ve always been great, you know. You just took a few wrong steps. Dad says everyone makes mistakes, and as long as you fix them, it’s okay. Don’t worry, Mom and Dad would never abandon you.”

Raffy looked into Niki’s sparkling eyes, and his own reddened again.

But this time, he nodded firmly and placed his piece securely on the board.

Meanwhile, the lights were still on in the study.

Danielle walked in with a glass of warm water and saw Alexander at his desk, looking over documents, a hint of fatigue in his features.

“Still working?” Danielle placed the glass by his hand, her voice filled with concern.

“Raffy was so reserved today. He barely ate anything. It was sad to see.”

Alexander put down the documents and rubbed his brow.

He looked up at Danielle, the weariness in his eyes replaced by a soft warmth.

“That’s to be expected,” he said.

“He’s fallen from the clouds to the dirt. Of course he’s scared. Now he’s living under someone else’s roof, so it’s natural he’d be overly cautious. Kids are resilient. He’ll get used to it in a few days.”
