As the weather turned colder, sometimes she would wake up at night with cold feet.

Then Brantley would quietly slip into her bed and use his body heat to warm her feet… Over time, Elissa felt incredibly Lucky to have someone like Brantley with her.

One weekend, she took Brantley to the cemetery.

After all, the rivalry between the older generation had ended with their passing.

What was the point of holding onto that hate?

In the early winter, the air was a bit chilly.

Brantley took Elissa’s hand as he gazed at his mother’s tomb.

It felt Like his mother had been gone for ages.

The person beside him seemed to have taken his mother’s place and become his family.

Together, they stood side by side.

Elissa placed a bunch of daisies in front of the tomb and gently brushed the dust off with her gaze fixed on the woman’s portrait.

She remained silent, feeling thankful that her own mother hadn’t Lost her mind and dragged Brantley into this.

After all, the kid was innocent.

Whether out of loneliness or for some other reason, Elissa and Brantley had now lived together and supported each other like a family!

When they left the cemetery, they boarded a bus back home.

Seeing that all the seats were taken, Brantley pleaded with a passenger to give up his seat for Elissa, explaining that she was in the Late stages of her pregnancy… The passengers around all praised Brantley for being so thoughtful and kind, saying Elissa was fortunate to have a son like him.

Elissa smiled but remained silent.

In truth, given the boy’s young age, she indeed looked more like Brantley’s mother rather than his sister.

Meanwhile, Brantley blushed at the praise from the other passengers.

He shyly held Elissa’s hand and stood by her side… Immediately they got off the bus, they spotted Raphael’s car ahead.

Elissa blinked and muttered, “Raphael is back?”

Looking up at Elissa, Brantley said excitedly, “Let’s go home and find out.”

Together, they hurried back home to check.

In the living room, Raphael’s suitcase sat in the middle of the floor, indicating his return.

In the kitchen, Raphael was busy preparing a meal.

He sliced the meat and vegetables meticulously, and the oil sizzled in the pan…

Even from the back, it was evident he had lost some significant weight.

Elissa composed herself and asked softly, “Why have you returned so suddenly? Why didn’t you call?”

After she blurted out the question, Elissa still couldn’t believe it was happening.
