Chapter 4115
But she had been wrong.
Furthermore, she was even more repulsed when she learned what Raphael had done for her father.
Within just two days, Elissa was overwhelmed by these revelations.
She felt utterly drained and gripped the edge of the sink tightly to keep herself from collapsing.
Raphael extended a hand to help her.
But Elissa declined.Text © owned by NôvelDrama.Org.
Standing before the wash basin, she gazed at her reflection in the mirror.
Her eyes were red from crying, and her face was slightly puffy.
She didn’t seem like a newly married woman at all.
She had almost forgotten how she felt when she was infatuated with Raphael.
What she remembered vividly was the shock and confusion on his face after Sandra jumped off the building.
Deep down, she knew Raphael wasn’t a playboy.
He maintained his relationship with Sandra because he felt empty inside after Olivia left.
He didn’t love Elissa and had no intention of falling in love with her.
So he found someone else to fill the void.
After a prolonged silence, Elissa looked at Raphael through the mirror and softly said, “Don’t worry.
I’ll help you resolve the crisis.
But first, we need to sign an agreement before I do anything for you.
”
Elissa’s voice was gentle and sweet.
Yet, it sounded so pitiful.
After a brief pause, she continued, “Raphael, life is complicated, and so are people’s minds.
Many couples who share a bed don’t truly know each other, like my parents… That’s why I’ve made this decision to protect myself and my child.
”
Raphael noticed how she spoke about the baby.
The child belonged to her and to her alone.
It was only the second day of their marriage; Raphael hadn’t expected their relationship to come to this.
But he agreed to sign the contract with Elissa anyway.
Perhaps it was because he had no other family in the world.
He had no feelings for Elissa, but the child she carried was his flesh and blood.
In other words, the baby was the only family he had.
Therefore, he accepted her terms.
On the way to the company, neither of them uttered a word.
Both were consumed by their own thoughts, reminiscing about the people they had once loved and loathed.
Finally, the car stopped in front of the office building.
As they were about to get out, Elissa suddenly said to Raphael, “When you first founded your company, you still couldn’t forget about her, right? Raphael, if you love Olivia so much, it’s okay to cherish her in your heart.
I knew that when I met you and I told you I didn’t mind.
But… your relationship with Sandra ruined everything, including my love for you.
