NovelEnglishRafael knew that this was Jacob's greatest regret. The man had even vowed to himself that he wouldn't marry until he found his sister.
"Alright. I'll discuss this with Carissa," Rafael said. "But I can't guarantee that Kyle will agree. It sounds a little ridiculous." Jacob remained calm. "I only ask that you ask Mr. Spencer about it. If it doesn't work out, I won't be disappointed." "Okay." Rafael nodded, then discussed a few other matters with Jacob before heading back to his room. Carissa had just returned from seeing Leona when Rafael informed her of Jacob's request.

"Jacob draws the line quite well. Asking Claire to contact Winona is related to his job, while reaching out to Kyle is a personal matter. He still wants to have an intermediary help convey his words," Rafael replied. Carissa understood. "Alright. I'll write and ask, but I'm not sure if Kyle is at Meadow Ridge now. He's always off somewhere." Rafael smiled. "He should be there now. Sage Everett has just returned after having been away for a while, so they're probably busy reorganizing things. I doubt anyone will be leaving Meadow Ridge for the next few months." For sreason, the mention of her martial uncle always stirred a wave of anxiety within Carissa. Her respect for him had been etched into her bones.
"Luckily, I'm married and away from Meadow Ridge," she quipped, laughing lightly.
"And you married his only beloved apprentice, so you'll be treated especially well and forgiven more readily," Rafael said with a sense of pride, before leaning down to press a kiss to her forehead.
"Sage Everett is a little protective," Carissa said.
Rafael tried to wipe sink smudges from his hands, but they wouldn't coff. He called for someone to fetch swater.

Carissa felt a bit reluctant to accept her husband's words, but then she reconsidered and added, "But Sage Adrian is even more protective." Rafael's eyes sparkled. "That's true. When we went to save the Septimus Tetra reconnaissance team members, Sage Everett toldnot to offend you at all. If you went back to Meadow Ridge and complained to your guild members, he wouldn't be able to withstand the wrath of the entire guild." "That doesn't sound right. Who isn't afraid of Sage Everett?" Carissa disagreed.
Everyone in the Pathfinders Guild, including Adrian, was afraid of Everett.
"Yes, they're afraid, but a cornered beast will bite people, right? You're everyone's favorite. If you feel wronged and complain to them, they will rise up against my mentor if he protects me," Rafael replied, suddenly adopting a pitiful Ovel demeanor. "Even though we're from the sguild, your branch has plenty of people, while mine is just me. It's hard not to be bullied." Carissa's eyes filled with sympathy at his words. She stood on her tiptoes and playfully flicked his forehead. "So, you need to treatbetter." The moment she reached up, Rafael felt a rush of joy.
Had this blockhead finally cto her senses? But then, a sudden hit against his forehead and a twinge of pain followed Carissa's words.
Nope. This blockhead was still as dense as ever.
Rafael pulled his wife into his arms and sat down in a chair, wrapping his arms around her waist as he asked, "How's Leona doing?" Carissa shifted closer, though she felt a bit awkward being so intimate while it was still daytime. "She's doing okay. Her complexion isn't as pale as before, but her mood is terrible. She keeps crying when she's sure no one's around." "She carried the baby for so long, so losing him is surely heartbreaking. She just needs time. It'll all pass," Rafael reassured.
