In that moment, Dylanâs heart fluttered.
He realized he had let not only Olivia down but Leyla as well.
Back when Olivia was pregnant, he had eagerly anticipated meeting this little girl!
Olivia stood silently at the door for a while, leaning against the wall.
After some time, she entered and whispered gently, âI will take care of the rest.
â
âLet me handle this,â Dylan said immediately.
Olivia looked at him coolly and replied indifferently, âThatâs very kind of you, Mr.
Wright.
But I can manage my daughter on my own.
â
Dylan clenched his fists slightly, held back, and gently touched Leylaâs head.
âWell, I will wait for you outside.
â
The little girl looked at him and nodded.
Once Dylan had left, Olivia expertly cleaned Leyla and washed her with tap water⦠âI like him, mommy.
He⦠Is he my daddy?â
Olivia paused, taken aback by the question.
She figured Leyla wouldnât understand even if she told her the truth.
After a moment of thought, Olivia kissed the little girl and whispered, âYouâll understand everything when youâre older.
â
Leyla looked back at her, puzzled.
Children often grow attached to those treated then nicely and yearn for a familial bond.
When they returned to the yard, a maid approached and said, âMr.
Wright⦠He prepared a meal for the children.
They all really enjoyed it!â
Olivia glanced at the dining table where the children were gathered excitedlyâ¦
She certainly didnât want to be a buzzkill.
So she handed Leyla over to the maid and said, âMake sure she avoids any raw or undercooked food.
â
The maid took Leyla with a smile and responded cheerfully.
Olivia offered a weak smile and held back any further comments.
Outside, the atmosphere was bustling, but she didnât feel like joining in.
Wrapping her shawl tighter, Olivia made her way to the backyard⦠She suspected that Dylan might want to discuss something important with her.
It was inevitable that they would need to address their issues eventually!
As she expected, after wandering in the backyard for a bit, she heard Dylanâs voice.
She turned around to meet his eyes.
