Chapter 4001
Thankfully, the night air held no chill.
Leyla lay on the bed, clad in her cute little onesie.
Dylan gazed at her with tenderness and nostalgia, her innocence reminding him of the first time he met Olivia.
Back then, Olivia exuded innocence akin to the baby girl, but now she bore a more refined, feminine aura, albeit with a slight weight loss.
Unable to resist, Dylan leaned down and kissed Leyla’s tummy through the fabric, the faint scent of milk tugging at his heartstrings.
Unbeknownst to Dylan, his eyes reflected his innate gentleness at that moment.
He regretted not spending more time with the little girl.
He marveled at how adorable she looked, especially at this tender age.
Normally a sound sleeper, Leyla seemed to sense something and abruptly woke up.
She rolled over groggily and fixed her gaze on Dylan.
Confusion clouded the baby girl’s expression.
Then, she extended her chubby hand to touch Dylan’s face.
With a sense of wonder, she examined Dylan’s features closely.
Because she was still in a daze, the little girl murmured, “Daddy.
”
Instantly, tears welled up in Dylan’s eyes, and he felt a lump form in his throat.
The baby girl’s proximity caught him off guard as she reached out to touch his face.
He couldn’t believe he had once abandoned this child.
Half-kneeling on the floor, Dylan enveloped Leyla in a gentle embrace, overcome with emotion.
Leyla let out a dreamy giggle, burped softly, and drifted back to sleep.
Reluctant to part with the Little girl, Dylan leaned closer as if trying to make amends for his absence over the past two years.
Throughout the poignant scene, Olivia watched silently, her emotions tumultuous.
Eventually, she couldn’t contain her emotions any longer.
Rushing out into the hallway, she tilted her head upward to prevent the tears from falling.
At that moment, her heart swelled with a myriad of conflicting emotions.
The recent scene oozed warmth, yet it only fueled Olivia’s resentment towards Dylan.
If she hadn’t tasted the sweetness of love, she might not have felt its absence so keenly.
Once, she believed herself to be the happiest woman alive with Dylan by her side.This content © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.
But now, alongside her obsession, Olivia harbored a deep loathing for Dylan.
Love and hate entangled themselves, creating a complex web of emotions.
This made it all the more hard for her to fall in love with him again.
The nanny sensed the tension between Olivia and Dylan and decided to pretend to be asleep.
After what seemed like an eternity, Dylan emerged from Leyla’s room and saw Olivia standing alone in the hallway.
