Chapter 4129: Chapter 4130

Raphael was stunned by her words.

Leyla’s empathy shone through as she hugged him warmly and planted a tender kiss on his cheek… At that moment, Raphael nearly cried.

He fought hard to maintain his composure.

He held Leyla close for a long time before finally handing her over to Dylan… All the while, Dylan observed the exchange in silence.

“Take good care of her!” Raphael said in a hoarse voice.

Then he turned and hurried away.

Dylan cradled Leyla and watched Raphael disappear.

Then he asked her gently, “You knew he was your father, didn’t you?”

Leyla turned to wrap her arms around his neck but remained silent.

She didn’t say anything after that.

Dylan shook his head and resigned, holding her close without speaking further… Over the years, Dylan had been by Leyla’s side more than Raphael ever had.

He touched her head gently and whispered, “I hope you grow up quickly, you little sweet pie!”

Meanwhile, Raphael canceled his appointment.

He settled back into his car.

A N G E L A ‘s L I B R A R Y

Switching off his phone, he leaned back in the seat, haunted by Leyla’s words-she knew he was her father… Regardless of how she discovered the truth, she knew.

Tears welled up in Raphael’s eyes as he replayed the moment.

He knew he wouldn’t be able to focus on work, at least for now.

Then, he thought of Elissa… his wife!

Since the incidents on their wedding day, things between him and Elissa have changed.

Officially, they were a couple… But they lived apart.

Raphael hadn’t seen Elissa for some time.

Reflecting on this, Raphael sighed deeply.

He flipped down the mirror to look at himself.

After contemplating, he pressed the accelerator and drove back to the villa.

He arrived just in time for lunch.

In the dining room, the table was already set.

Raphael entered just as the servant was about to head upstairs to call Elissa.

Surprised, the servant exclaimed, “I didn’t expect you to return for lunch, Mr.

Jones.

I’ll inform Mrs.

Jones so you two can dine together.

”

It was common knowledge that Raphael and Elissa weren’t on the best terms.

Thus, the servant was genuinely pleased to see Raphael return for a meal with Elissa.

Before she could reach the stairs, Raphael stopped her and said softly, “I’ll go upstairs and tell her myself.

”
