Chapter 4142
Raphael hesitated, but Elissa insisted, “Think of it as my investment in you.
I’ve kept two million aside.
The baby and I won’t be short of money.
”
Raphael’s eyes welled up with tears.
Two million wouldn’t afford even a small apartment in Duefron.
Elissa was offering him all she had, even reassuring him that she and the baby wouldn’t lack for money… Yet Raphael still refused to accept her money.
He felt uncomfortable using his wife’s assets.
He enveloped her in a hug, pressing his lips gently against her forehead.All content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.
He didn’t know what to say.
He believed that once he could offer them a stable life, he could express his emotions more openly.
Then, he could confidently vow to cherish and care for them for the rest of their days.
A week later, Raphael’s company declared bankruptcy.
Overnight, Raphael was stripped of everything, including their home seized by the court.
Elissa began packing their belongings, readying for relocation.
As Elissa packed up the luggage, Raphael arrived.
Taking in the sight of the suitcases Elissa had packed, he asked, “Why don’t you wait for me to pack these up together?”

After a pause, he continued, “That’s all you have?”
Elissa answered lightly, “Yes, this is all!”
Raphael took another glance at her before heading to the walk-in closet.
Finding it empty, he turned back to Elissa and asked curiously, “Where in the world are your clothes?”
Women always cared about their looks and outfits, and Elissa, coming from a well-off family and owning many fancy outfits, should have had a closet full of them.
She walked over and closed the closet door, leaning against the furniture.
In a low voice, she explained, “I can’t wear those clothes after I got pregnant.
After the baby is born, I’ll Likely gain some weight, so they won’t fit me anymore.
I thought it better to sell them and make some money.
”
But Raphael knew it wasn’t about the money.
The real reason she sold her clothes was the lack of space in their rented apartment; she had to part with most of her wardrobe.
Thinking of this, he couldn’t help but feel a pang of sympathy for her.
In the end, he said nothing more.
He simply helped Elissa carry the suitcases down the stairs.
Their ride was no longer a luxury car but a family van, much cheaper than what they used to have.
After loading the luggage, Raphael helped Elissa into the back seat, closing the door behind her.
He looked at her for a long moment.
Finally, he said softly, “Thank you, Elissa.
Thank you for staying by my side.
