Chapter: 4771
Raphael nodded but didn't remove his hand.

After all, he was touching his own child.

Elissa remained lying on the bed, allowing him to keep his hand there. In that instant, she felt a sense of peace, just like the time they first got intimate at his place. That day ended with her storming out after they had sex, only for Raphael to seek her out later to apologize and apply ointment to her...

They had some beautiful memories together.

Finally, Raphael appeared content and murmured softly, “Well, it's time to get up for lunch. I've got a busy afternoon ahead!"

Elissa gave a quiet nod.

During lunch, Raphael served her a bowl of fish soup, mentioning it was beneficial for her health. However, Elissa countered that while the soup looked appetizing, she was concerned about gaining weight if Raphael continued feeding her like this.

"I thought you wouldn't mind gaining some weight," Raphael said with a faint smile.

“Are you joking?"

Elissa pouted. “Of course, I care about my figure! It's important to everyone, especially women."

Something suddenly occurred to him, Raphael hesitated, but then chose not to voice his initial question about why Elissa had discarded her stylish clothing if she was so concerned about her appearance.

He understood that Elissa's decision wasn't just about the lack of space, but also because they were going through a tough time financially.

With that in mind, Raphael offered her some vegetables, saying, “Try this; it's nutritious and healthy! Just let me know what you'd Like to eat, and I'll make sure to get it for you."

Hearing that, Elissa felt touched.

She thought to herself that even if Raphael didn't make a big comeback, his skills would land him a decent job to support their family. She was ready to share the rest of her life with him.

But she kept these thoughts to herself.

As Raphael was getting ready to leave for work, Elissa handed him a bottle of water. Normally, Raphael wouldn't need this because his assistant used to handle such details, but times had changed. Now, he had to fend for himself.

Before he left, Elissa straightened his suit and said gently, "Take care of yourself. See you later!"

Raphael smiled and affectionately patted her belly.

Then he left.

Back at home, waiting for Raphael to return, Elissa felt a bit bored and somehow sweet at the same time.

She was a quiet person who typically read a book while Raphael was at work. Lately, she had started learning how to knit a sweater for their soon-to-be-born baby.

Although she had some savings, Elissa knew she needed to adjust to their current lifestyle.

She understood Raphael's pride; he wouldn't accept her money. Elissa was determined to share both the good times and the bad with her husband.
