It was a box of… emergency contraception.

He studied it silently.

Elissa, noticing his gaze, bit her lip.

“You didn’t use a condom… We haven’t tied the knot yet, so pregnancy would not be ideal for now.

Without a word, Raphael picked up the box and inspected it closer.

It was opened and a tablet had been missing…

A cup of water nearby suggested she’d already taken the pill.

He asked casually, “Is it really that you’re worried about the pregnancy would affect the approaching wedding? Or you just don’t want a child for now?”

Elissa paled at the question.

After a long pause, she decided to be honest with him.

Instead of probing him, she asked, “You have a child with her, don’t you?”

Raphael was taken aback, his expression shifting.

Her question had dredged up painful memories, the ones where he had lost Olivia and his mother due to his own mistakes…

Elissa, however, remained composed.

With a subtle smile, she pressed on.

“People talked but I never believed them until now.

Seeing you shake hands with Dylan… Raphael, you’re not the warm, easy persona that you pretend to be.

You reconciled with him for the sake of the little girl… Olivia’s daughter is also your daughter, right?”

There was only silence from Raphael.

Elissa’s face drained of color.

“If you’ve figured it out, why did you still sleep with me?” Raphael whispered, his touch gentle on her face.

Elissa’s tear-streaked face revealed her recent weeping…

Being astute, Raphael understood Elissa’s distress.

There was only one reason for it-she was deeply in love with him.

Elissa’s heart felt heavy with sorrow.

But she couldn’t spill the beans about her heartache.

She had to swallow it down, every bitter drop.

Before the engagement, whispers about Raphael and Olivia had reached her and her family’s ears.

Her family had urged her to think it over.

Yet, she was head over heels for Raphael and she was dead set on tying the knot with him.
