Loriel placed the tray carefully on the bedside table, close to Elise before he suddenly moved to the foot of the bed. Then, what he did next was totally unexpected.
The man lifted the blankets and then situated himself close enough to touch her feet. Elise quickly looked up to him startled when he touched her feet.
"W-what… what are you doing, Loriel?" Elise asked at last.
"I am trying to give you a foot massage," Loriel explained. "Zaff has told me that pregnant women's feet can get a bit swollen and sore so I will prevent it from happening. You should not suffer if I can help it."
"..."
The truth was that Loriel went to the library and picked up some books about taking care of pregnant women. He did his best to absorb all the necessary information and then implement them today to the best of his ability.
As a first-time father, he wanted to make sure that his wife had the most comfortable pregnancy.
