Leyla's joy was evident.

She kicked her legs happily in the child's seat and added sweetly, "Mommy said the cheese flavor is the best."

The mention of Olivia brightened Dylan's mood.

He looked at Leyla and whispered gently, “Daddy will cook for you. But you need to be a good girl. Go to bed early tonight, and behave at school tomorrow, okay?"

"Deal!" Leyla responded cheerfully.

Dylan wanted to kiss her cheek, but instead, he just smiled and started the car...

It was late summer, and the air was cool.

Dylan took Leyla to the supermarket and let her ride in the shopping cart... Dylan, tall and handsome, and Leyla, utterly adorable, drew many admiring glances as they moved through the aisles.

While shopping for dinner ingredients, Dylan also picked up Leyla‘s favorite fruits and some soft drinks.

Leyla was so thrilled, she giggled with joy the whole time.

Seeing that, the cashier couldn't resist saying to Dylan, "Sir, your daughter is absolutely adorable!"

After grabbing the bags from the checkout, Dylan held Leyla with one hand.

He encouraged her to say goodbye the nice cashier with a warm smile.

Leyla was charming throughout their time there, whispering about sharing the treats with Eason.

"That's very thoughtful of you, Leyla. But Eason is still too little for these snacks," Dylan replied, his smile tinged with amusement.

“Really? That's too bad," Leyla responded, sounding quite disappointed.

The floor of the market was smooth, making it easy for Dylan to let Leyla walk beside him. The little girl skipped joyously in her pretty dress.

They both appeared delighted, radiating happiness.

As they reached the supermarket's main entrance, they encountered Raphael, who looked at Leyla with a mix of emotions... Leyla halted immediately upon seeing Raphael, clutching Dylan's hand tightly.

She was anxious. Dylan glanced at Raphael, and then back at Leyla, and squatted down to reassure her gently, “What's wrong, Leyla? You know him, don't you?"

Leyla murmured a "yes" in a hushed tone.

Raphael was alone there.

He only intended to park his car. However, as soon as he stepped out, Dylan and Leyla unexpectedly showed up... It seemed he hadn't seen Leyla in quite some time, and she appeared taller now.

Raphael crouched down and waved to Leyla, smiling warmly.
