He couldn't shake the guilt of Olivia's past miscarriage, and now she had given birth to his child.

In reality, Raphael understood that Olivia's decision to keep the baby was not a result of lingering feelings for him. Her choice simply stemmed from a moral stance against ending a life.

Additionally, Dylan's kindness extended to accepting another man's child.

The thought of Dylan readily accepting his child and marrying Olivia without hesitation made Raphael wish he could slap himself to death.

Despite the blazing sun, Raphael felt like he was soaked in ice cold water.

He spent the entire afternoon sitting on the bench.

Despite Sharon's repeated calls, Raphael just sat there.

Finally, feeling somewhat irritated by his phone that never stopped buzzing, he reluctantly answered and, in a disinterested tone, asked, “What's up?"

Sharon, stunned, spoke softly. “Where are you, Ray? Mr. Douglas has been waiting for you for half an hour. Although he's patient, it's not appropriate to keep our client waiting."

It was only then that Raphael remembered that it was the day to sign the contract with Leonel.

They had developed a close business relationship over the past year.

After ending the call, he looked down at the paternity test report, touching it with mixed emotions. He had seen the child a few times and found her quite adorable.

The baby girl bore a resemblance to him but also resembled Olivia.

The little girl was so delicate.

Her hair was black, with a slight curl. It was evident that she would grow up to be as beautiful as her mother.

The thought made Raphael clench his hands.

He longed to hug his daughter and kiss her on her cheek.

Since his father's passing, Kiley had seemed like a different person to Raphael. In his memory, Kiley had always urged him to work hard and one day seek retribution against the Evens family.

Over time, Raphael's personality underwent a transformation.

As Raphael began college, he crossed paths with Olivia, whose presence brought a radiant joy into his life. Being with her made him incredibly happy.

However, he was surprised to later found out that Olivia was Mark's daughter.

Consequently, they had ended their relationship.

It became a bittersweet memory for him. He couldn't help but long for the warmth and companionship they once shared.

Afterward, Raphael drove back to the company.
