Elissa wanted to say something but eventually decided against it…

There were too many things between them.

It was difficult for her to say something affectionate, so she simply asked Raphael to continue cooking.

Raphael nodded and didn’t say anything else.

Meanwhile, Brantley planned to give Raphael a big hug after washing his hands.

However, as soon as he saw Elissa and Raphael hugging like that, the little boy blushed and ran away.

During the meal at the table, Brantley still felt a bit awkward and stayed quiet.

Raphael picked up a piece of braised pork and placed it on his plate, and then remarked gently, “When you’re in love, you’ll realize it’s quite normal between a couple.”

“Okay,” replied Brantley softly.

Then, he lowered his head to eat quietly.

After dinner, as the little guy was getting ready to take the trash out, Raphael stopped him and said, “You just had a fever the other day.

Let me handle this.

If I make you help with chores and you accidentally fall ill again, Elissa will blame me.”

Upon hearing this, Brantley grinned and glanced at Elissa.

His nose was sweaty.

Elissa sat knitting a sweater and, upon hearing Raphael, she smiled and told Brantley to ignore him.

Raphael grinned too.

On the way to dump the trash, he lit a cigarette.
