SWNOVELS Chapter 4110
She pitied herself and Sandra, who had jumped from the building in a desperate act to get his attention.
However, in Raphael’s eyes, nothing seemed to hold weight except his self-interest.
It made Elissa wonder if perhaps cruelty was ingrained in men from birth.
There was probably a time when Raphael was genuine and sincere when he was with Olivia.
Olivia had been his one true love, the center of his world.
Those who bore even a passing resemblance to Olivia were mere substitutes in Raphael’s heart.
To make things worse, Elissa knew that she was even less important than those poor women.

We shouldn’t have too much sex during my pregnancy.

For a moment, his lust subsided.
While she cleaned herself, he quickly showered and then stepped out to the balcony for a smoke.
He inhaled deeply from his cigarette and released the smoke into the air.
The night wind quickly scattered it.
As the wind blew, Raphael’s thoughts wandered to his work, and then shifted to Sandra… He reflected on Olivia, and then on Elissa…
In fact, he and Elissa had a good relationship at the beginning.
He didn’t settle for her; she was everything he had wanted in a wife.
She was kind, sensible, and reasonable.
After being with Elissa, his contact with Sandra had been minimal, yet he never completely ended things with her, simply because his feelings for Elissa weren’t strong enough.
Following this incident, he realized he had lost any real chance with Elissa.
He had become the unfaithful husband.
And she, the disillusioned wife.
They would maintain mutual respect, but their love for each other had ended.
They would stay married only for their child’s sake.
Raphael knew he could try to make amends with Elissa and mend their relationship.
But he chose not to make the effort.
Perhaps it was because he didn’t truly love her and was indifferent about their marriage.
Elissa walked out of the bathroom.
