She murmured, Raphael, I dont want another baby.
Raphael glanced at her sideways.
He was taken aback.
Considering her fondness for children, he had presumed shed be keen on having at least another child.
But Elissa shook her head.
She didnt confide in her husband that it wasnt the idea of another baby she opposed, but the fear of having a daughter.
Everything seemed perfect at it was now. Raphael now had a son and a daughter.
Another child could disrupt the equilibrium.
Since he loved Olivia, Elissa reasoned, he could devote more attention to Leyla.
This was her way of showing love.
Elissa was willing to compromise on this issue.
Gazing at the sunset, Elissa still felt a pang of regret.
Yet, she preferred a simple, tranquil life.
The whirlwind romance between Raphael and Olivia in their youth wasnt her aspiration.
Besides, she adored Leyla.
From the room came the sound of a baby crying.
It was their son, Jarvis.
Raphael would rise twice during the night to tend to their son, soothing him gently in his arms, so she could have her rest.
He was a loving husband and devoted father.
For this reason, Elissa was willing to make concessions. After picking up Leyla, Dylan drove back to Evans Gardon.
Leyla had missed Olivia and she hugged her tightly, showing her backpacks contents one by one.
She even told her each pieces story.
It appeared that they were all her treasures! Olivia found a wooden castle inside which had been handmade by Raphael.
Leyla proudly announced, Daddy made it for me, snuggling closer to Olivia.
And I adore it! Its going on my bedside table with a princess inside, Leyla declared with a grin.
Olivia chuckled.
Youre a little princess already!
