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 stime.
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 ssavings, 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.
Tpassed quickly as she devoted herself in knitting.
Elissa had becaccustomed to their new home, but Raphael appeared increasingly occupied with work, as
shown by evenings Like tonight where it was already half-past eight and he finally returned...
Elissa sensed something was amiss, even though Raphael never discussed his new job with her.
She didn’t pry; instead, she welcomed him with a warm hug whenever he arrived home.
In a gentle tone, she said, “Rest up.
I'll warm up dinner for you.”
Raphael, concerned about her well-being, grasped her hand and insisted, “I'll handle it myself!”
Elissa shook her head and said, “Don’t worry.
I'm not burdened at all! I'm your wife, Raphael.
Lettake care of you.
How else will | manage with our child in the future?”
Raphael didn’t argue any further.

As Elissa moved to the kitchen, he approached the window and lit a cigarette.
He puffed out the smoke which was blown away by the night wind.
Things weren't going well with his business, but Raphael didn’t want to burden Elissa with these concerns.
He hoped she would have a peaceful pregnancy without any additional stress.
His approach to business had softened lately.
Previously ruthless, he now considered his family’s well-being before making decisions.
Suddenly, he heard footsteps approaching.
Raphael quickly stubbed out the cigarette and shut the window, not wanting Elissa to smell the smoke.
While Raphael ate, Elissa sat on the sofa knitting.
She spoke softly, telling him that she planned to knit several sweaters for the baby and eventually one for him,
though it might take stbefore she could present it to him.
