NovelEnglishEven though he was at home, Edwin was dressed properly with a white shirt and a pair of black casual trousers,
making him look smart and handsome.
And the way he was carrying Leyla in his arms... oh, what a sweet man he was!
“Nancy, do we have anything like Theraflu?” Edwin asked her.
“I think Leyla has a cold.”
This question knocked Nancy back to reality.
“Oh, poor thing,” she moaned in pity.
“Don’t worry.
I'll get it right away.”
Everyone in the family loved and cherished Leyla.
Nancy even treated her like her own child.
As a result, she not only prepared the medicine for Leyla, she also brought scandy along, fearing that the

After Leyla had been seated on Edwin's lap, she was given the medicine.
Grabbing the glass with both hands, she took sips of the medicine obediently.
Occasionally, her delicate face was squeezed involuntarily as a result of the bitter taste.
Meanwhile, Edwin took out his phone to check on his files.
His company had just released a project recently.
But it wasn’t something big.
In fact, the profit they were hoping to make from it was just about three to four million dollars.
But one particular person applied for it caught his attention.
It was Raphael!
Edwin had browsed through the tender document.
From what he saw, Raphael's firm did not meet his requirements, and the risk involved was a bit high if they
worked with Raphael.
Though the project was not much of a big deal to Evans Group, Edwin still couldn't make up his mind whether or
not he should let Raphael have it.
He had been thinking about it all through the morning.
Meanwhile, after drinking the medicine, Leyla turned around and asked for a hug.
Rather than eat the candy, she just wanted to stay in Edwin’s arms.
So she buried her delicate face in his embrace.
Edwin couldn’t help but notice how adorable she Looked.
The sight of his niece softened his heart.
He lowered his head to kiss her on the forehead before murmuring to himself, “For the sake of Leyla.”
With the child still in his arms, he dialed a number.
As soon as his assistant answered the phone, he instructed in a calm voice, “Let Raphael have the project.
But don’t let him know that it was my idea to let him have it.”

The assistant was stunned when she heard this.
Apparently, she had not expected Edwin to make such a decision.
“That's all,” Edwin added and hung up the phone.
Then he picked Leyla and carried her upstairs.
The little girl had always Liked to spend twith Edwin.
At dusk, Raphael got a message.
Evans Group had agreed to assign the project to him.
He was so surprised when he saw the message that he stared at the screen for a long tin disbelief.
Perhaps the reason Edwin had chosen him was because of Leyla.
If it was in the past, he would have turned down such a gesture of almost pity.
But things were different now.
He had two kids to raise.
Since he wanted to make a comeback as soon as possible, he had no choice but to accept Edwin’s help.
He couldn't afford to be picky at this time, unless he was willing to depend on Elissa, which would make him feel
even more ashamed of himself.
