Chapter 691: Do Not Force Yourself to Smile
So that Raymond and Clarisse would not keep feeling bad about it, Arabella pointed out all the positive things that happened because she went to Lobelius due to the fruits.
"Yes, I will do my best to explain to her later. I did not get to inform her about the Elder being an elf since she scolded me every time I tried to talk. Haha," Raymond scratched the back of his head again.
[Still, I prefer getting scolded by her than seeing her all sulky and not knowing what to do. In times like this, I feel so useless I could not provide what she needed despite all the years I’ve lived. I have never felt so useless in life than seeing my wife suffering but cannot do anything about it.]
’Oh my, he’s so sweet,’ Arabella could not help but smile at the thought she heard from Raymond.
"Keep doing your best. I’m sure you know from experience that this stage will pass through in a few months. All of your efforts will be rewarded. And it’s more than worth it."
Arabella smiled at Raymond who smiled back knowingly as he recalled the times he saw his children for the first time after Clarisse gave birth.
"Ah, yes. Indeed. Very much worth it. I wonder what our child would look like this time," Raymond thought as he recalled the newborn Raymart and Alice.
Arabella smiled too as she recalled her experience with Fermin.
Giving birth was the most painful physical thing she experienced. But hearing Fermin’s first cry and knowing he was born safely made everything worth it. Even more so as she took care of him and watched him grow up so quickly over the years. And he was playful, energetic, and chatty with her.
