A Second Chance With My Billionaire Love

Raphael was taken aback by the question.

He had indeed installed a child seat in his car after Elissa had insisted on it.

He nodded and accepted Leyla from Edwin.

Aware that Raphael was headed to Czanch, Edwin remarked casually, “I’ll drop off Scott and Myrna at school now, so I’ll pick her up by-say around eight.

You can take Leyla to grab a bite and meet me outside of the company.

Just ensure she avoids anything with red beans and peanuts, as she’s allergic to both.

Also, her nose has been a bit sensitive lately, so keep her away from flowers.”

Leyla instinctively wrinkled her nose upon hearing Edwin’s instructions.

She was indeed quite delicate.

Raphael nodded to Edwin before effortlessly lifting the little girl into her child’s seat.

With a smile, he suggested, “Shall we go get some cake?”

Leyla averted her gaze and ignored him.

Observing Leyla’s reaction, Raphael gently pinched her cheek and said, “How about some ice cream with Daddy, sweetheart?”

Finally, Leyla nodded, still pretending like she really didn’t want to do this.

Along the way, Leyla’s excitement bubbled over as she sang a nursery rhyme she had recently learned.

Despite her off-key singing, Raphael found it endearing.

But as soon as she finished her song, Leyla began sneezing and tearfully rubbing her eyes.

Raphael pulled the car to a stop, quickly wiping away Leyla’s tears before dashing to the pharmacy for some relief for her.

Looking at her, he sighed.

“You’re such a fragile little one.”

Leyla bristled at his remark.

Her lips formed a pout as she muttered, “Huh! If you think I’m too much trouble, you can send me back to Uncle Edwin.”

With that, she lowered her head, a hint of sadness in her eyes.

Feeling remorseful, Raphael asked in a low voice, “Are you upset because I haven’t visited you in a while?”

After Raphael posed his question, Leyla kept quiet.

Her little fingers gripped the hem of Raphael’s shirt tightly.

Kids couldn’t hide their feelings well, and her need for him was obvious.

It was clear she missed him.

Raphael felt a lump rise in his throat.

He gently pulled her into a hug.

Her dependence touched him deeply, and he felt thankful to have her as his daughter.

Leyla wiped her snot on his shirt.

Then she cautiously asked, “Is there a new baby coming?”

Raphael crouched to meet her eyes, giving her rosy nose a gentle squeeze, saying, “In a few months, I will have a new baby.

But you’ll always be my first.”
