Elissa listened in silence.
After a moment’s pause, she inquired of Marcia, “Mom, do you share his sentiments?”
Marcia hesitated briefly before cautioning, “Your father raises valid concerns, dear.
Elissa, why are you so stubborn? Raphael won’t improve in this lifetime.
Don’t ruin your future.
”
Elissa lowered her gaze and descended the stairs slowly.
Without glancing at her parents seated on the couch, she headed straight to the dining table for breakfast.
Raphael had prepared it to perfection, perfectly aligning with her palate.Content rights by NôvelDr//ama.Org.

She had never realized Raphael’s culinary prowess.
Yousef glared at her with a venomous gaze.
Observing his daughter’s indifference, he sneered.
“A couple of pancakes sway you? Elissa, what’s gotten into you? He’s an unfaithful man who has hurt you.
Why do you persist in defending him?”
Elissa raised her eyes, studying her father intently.
Softly, she said, “Dad, have you always been faithful to Mom?”
Raphael was truly struggling now.
But when he still had everything, “I didn’t you ever ask him for help?”
Her tone turned colder.
“Weren’t there tasks you found inconvenient to handle yourself that you asked him to do them for you?”

Overwhelmed with guilt, he stole a glance at his wife.
Aware of Marcia’s family’s influence and his success in manipulating her, he dared not disclose his transgressions.
Yousef was speechless.
At her daughter’s words, Marcia regarded her husband with suspicion.
Eventually, she inquired, “Yousef, are you hiding something from me?”
Yousef hastily adopted a righteous expression and responded, “How could that be?”
Yousef was adept at persuasion, his influence over Marcia established over years.
With mere words, he allayed her suspicions.
He didn’t dare to provoke his daughter further, recognizing that Elissa held leverage over him.
However, he remained displeased.
As he departed, he uttered coldly, “Elissa, if you persist in staying with Raphael, don’t expect any financial support from the Palmer family.
