“Um… we’ve talked. You could say it’s a topic we discuss every day.”
Hearing his wife ask this, Faon’s body stiffened, and he spoke with a bit of a guilty conscience.
He felt an inexplicable sensation of being caught cheating by his wife.
It was certainly strange to talk about such topics with another woman behind his wife’s back, but their neighbor, Night Lei, sincerely wanted to help them.
Although it was odd, it was far from the level of “cheating.”
There might not be anything to be truly guilty about, but he couldn’t just say it directly.
If his wife knew everything, she would probably feel guilty again and wear that cautious, timid expression.
Faon chose to consult with Night Lei precisely because he didn’t want his wife to look like that.
Then again, he didn’t want to keep secrets from his wife… but because of the agreement not to let others know, a conflicted Faon could only speak vaguely.
Seeing her husband’s guilty look, Evalyn felt a mixture of emotions.
However, knowing that her husband was doing this for the sake of their harmonious life, she couldn’t help but feel a secret sense of satisfaction.
She proactively took her husband’s hand, leaned against him, and said with a giggle, “Oh? Is it really a daily topic with Sister Night Lei? Can you tell me what you talked about? I’m quite curious how Sister Night Lei and my husband talk about my physical issues.”
“It wasn’t anything special. Sister Night Lei just asks about your health every day, and I care quite a bit about that aspect of you, Falin.”
Faon hugged Evalyn and laughed, brushing it off.
He changed the subject and continued, “By the way… is there any dessert you want to eat? The day after tomorrow, I plan to go to Xingbo Town with Sister Night Lei and the others to reserve a carriage for the trip.”
“I’ll love anything my husband brings back for me.”
Seeing his wife being so sensible and not asking why he was going out with them, Faon felt even more guilty and couldn’t help but tighten his embrace.
Evalyn felt that her husband wasn’t entirely lying, so she didn’t press further.
After thinking it over, she spoke up.
“Actually, nothing really. Or rather, I don’t have anything to do tomorrow, so I can spend the whole day with you. I haven’t accompanied you properly these past few days.”
“…The whole day? Then can you help me pack my luggage for going back to our hometown, and also tidy up the room Ailin will stay in?”
Feeling the strength of her husband’s hug, Evalyn felt a bit of joy, her tone rising slightly.
“Of course… we can do that the day before we leave. It’s fine as long as you can spend tomorrow with me properly.”
After saying this, she rubbed against Faon’s chest, looked up at him, and continued, “You haven’t failed to accompany me these last few days. And… I’m also very happy that my husband can have a friend here other than me.”
Such a simple request from his wife made Faon feel a bit bad, and he became even more determined to resolve the pain points in their lives.
To lighten the mood, Faon squeezed a soft spot on his wife and said with a smile, “Does Falin want to… practice tonight as well? I have some suggestions I’d like to make this evening.”
Evalyn’s pretty face flushed slightly, and she spoke as if scolding him, “Oh… I didn’t expect my husband to be so impatient. But… since you have some suggestions, I’ll just have to do as you wish.”
Seeing her counterattack wasn’t strong enough, Evalyn added, “Besides, my period only has two or three days left. So once we get back to our hometown… you can mess with me as much as you want.”
“Good. As long as you can endure it, Falin, I will do my absolute best.”
The corners of Faon’s mouth curled up.
To his ears, his wife’s provocative words sounded like sweet nothings.
Evalyn gave Faon a light kiss on the cheek and gently broke free from his embrace.
Standing up, she said giggling, “Then let’s wait until tonight, shall we? But for now, let’s cook dinner first. I already heard my husband’s stomach growling. Let me do it today, or I’ll get rusty.”
“…How about we do it together?”
Faon suggested with a smile.
Since tomorrow was a day off—a rest day belonging solely to the two of them—and her period was almost over, meaning she could finally take a carriage, his mood was quite relaxed.
“Okay,” Evalyn nodded.
The dinner they made was quite sumptuous, and the process was pleasant.
This led to them not finishing the meal, but the leftovers weren’t wasted; they were mostly put into the **[Magic Refrigerator]**.
After dinner, Evalyn sat in the living room looking at her husband’s heavy books while Faon washed the dishes in the kitchen.
She briefly organized the plan for the **[Special Commission]** in her mind.
She realized that being in their hometown wouldn’t be enough to send her husband away for a short time…
There still needed to be a special point after they returned.
**[Sparkling Wine]** alone wouldn’t be enough to make her husband do anything.
Furthermore, there had always been an uncertain point in the **[Special Commission]**—the unknown guest who would visit…
“Who could it be?”
‘Sigh…’
Evalyn let out a sigh.
Originally, seeing her husband have physical contact with other girls would make her feel uncomfortable, but now… she was actually coming up with this kind of plan in her head.
“What’s wrong? Why is Falin sighing?”
Having finished the dishes, Faon sat back down next to Evalyn.
Seeing her sighing, he spoke with concern.
“No… it’s nothing. I just saw a plot in the book and suddenly thought of when you were an adventurer all by yourself. I wasn’t by your side back then.”
Evalyn found an excuse to brush it off, though it wasn’t entirely a lie.
“It’s nothing. I chose the adventurer’s path myself. Actually, during the time I wasn’t by Sister Lin’s side, I wasn’t exactly alone. I had many companions with me.”
Faon didn’t know whether to laugh or cry and subconsciously took his wife’s hand.
“I just thought of it suddenly. By the way, I heated the bathwater during the day. Why don’t you go wash first?”
Evalyn spoke with a smile.
“You go first, Falin. After all, I’m looking forward to the suggestion session tonight.”
Faon’s lips quirked up as he teased her.
“Hmph… my husband has become naughty. Then I’ll go first. After all, my husband still wants to enjoy bathwater with his wife’s scent.”
Evalyn gave a light hmph, closed the book, and walked into the bathroom with a change of clothes.
After soaking for a while, Evalyn habitually checked the information for the three of them.
She discovered that her husband’s **[Energy Level]** actually had an upward-pointing icon.
She was a bit troubled; wouldn’t this make it even harder for her to deal with him?
But before she could even ask, the voice of the **[Receptionist]** came from beside her.
“Miss Evalyn, you have been letting Mister Faon drink black tea with **[Enhancement Potion]**. Although the amount is small, it will still rise.”
Evalyn had long since grown accustomed to the **[Receptionist]**’s sudden appearance beside her.
Thinking of something, she asked, “Is this kind of enhancement unlimited?”
“Naturally not. The bonus provided by the potion has an upper limit. Moreover, as it is consumed too many times, the user will become increasingly adapted to the sensations it brings. Therefore, a word of advice for Miss Evalyn: stop letting Mister Faon consume it for the time being, just in case you need it later,” the **[Receptionist]** spoke indifferently.
“…Why are you only telling me such important information now!”
Evalyn’s anger, which she thought she had gotten used to, was ignited again as she spoke huffily.
Her original idea was just to increase her husband’s **[Depravity Level]**, but now it had not only brought about consequences she couldn’t handle but had also made her husband somewhat adapted to it.
“It is written on the **[Matchmaker Card]** and in the introduction. It is because Miss Evalyn did not read carefully; it is not within my scope of responsibility.”
The **[Receptionist]** looked at Evalyn with a calm expression.
Evalyn thought about it carefully, and it really was like that…
Of course, she had closed the screen to try it out right after seeing the main effect, so her anger dissipated instantly.
Furthermore, her husband’s **[Depravity Level]** and **[Affection Level]** toward Night Lei had stalled, with no subtle increases.
‘…It seems I need to stop for a while and use it at the right time. Sigh… it’s really painful to personally push my own husband away.’
Evalyn let out a sigh and continued to look at the information.
The only thing worth noting was that Night Lei’s obscured new **[Trait]** had become a bit clearer.
She could vaguely make out the character for “Heavy” written in the script of the Saint Kelin Empire, but after looking at it for a long time, it also looked like the character for “Sick.”
“Could it be that her **[Mana Conflict]** was very severe, or that she had some serious illness?! “
At the very least, her intuition told her that this new **[Trait]** was very important.
She needed to figure out the pattern of its changes because there had been no changes when she checked a few days ago.
