“…Sister Lin’s way of addressing Mister Faon?”
Night Night, startled by Evalyn’s suggestion, stole a glance at Faon, who was sitting across from her.
“…Do you mean the ‘Husband’ that Sister Evalyn always calls him?”
‘She was certainly willing; one could say this was a dream come true. But still… she had to see what Mister Faon thought.’
Faon was stunned for a moment.
He looked at his wife, who had made such a statement, with a strange expression in his eyes.
He did not immediately voice a refusal, choosing instead to keep listening.
“Yes.”
Evalyn nodded, trying her best to keep her expression natural.
“Even though I’m not entirely willing, according to the plan, Husband, you need to set off with Yeye one day early. There will definitely be two rooms… but once you get off the carriage, people we know in town will definitely greet you.”
This was indeed a fact.
Faon thought about it carefully.
The drop-off point for the carriage would likely be at the entrance to the town or the place where they booked carriages in their hometown.
Even with the best luck, they would run into familiar faces.
If Night Night, who was supposed to be disguised as his wife, still called him “Mister Faon,” people would surely notice something was wrong.
‘Of course… I could also choose to tell them about my wife’s plan, but that would change the nature of the situation.’
After some thought, Faon still felt it was too strange.
He spoke hesitantly, “Should we… set Night Night’s status to be ‘sickly’? So she can’t see anyone or something like that?”
“That won’t work, Husband. After all, we’re doing this precisely so Ailin doesn’t notice anything unusual about me.”
Evalyn continued to persuade him as she took hold of her husband’s arm.
“…Or is it that you’ll start having strange thoughts just because Yeye calls you that? After all, Night Night is a great beauty.”
Evalyn winked at her, signaling that everything was fine.
“…Sister Lin, I…”
Night Night opened her mouth, biting her lip.
She was naturally very willing, but facing this opportunity that had been handed to her, she certainly wouldn’t let it pass for the sake of the commission.
‘If I ignore that tiny thought in my heart, I actually want to see Husband’s reaction when someone else calls him “Husband.”
“Besides, I’m watching right now, so how could anything go wrong?”
Moreover, it’s just a title; it’s better than having Faon and Night Night act like me and have intimate contact in front of my face.
Although it’s bitter… at least it’s something I won’t have to see.’
“Sister Evalyn, Miss Night Night is still right here.”
Noticing Night Night, Faon spoke with some helplessness.
He looked at Night Night and said apologetically, “If Sister Lin is fine with it… I naturally have no problem, but it still depends on Miss Night Night.”
“I’m fine with it. Since… since it can help Mister Faon and Sister Evalyn, I’m willing to do anything,” Night Night said.
A faint blush hung on her face, not from the shyness of being about to call him “Husband,” but a flush brought on by excitement.
“Oh, my… I’m just afraid of someone spotting a flaw. I just want Yeye to get used to the title.”
Having said this, Evalyn let go of her husband’s arm, walked behind Night Night, and continued, “Besides… Yeye agreed, didn’t she? I’m also taking this opportunity to help Night Night change her usual timid habits a bit.”
Hearing Evalyn’s reasoning, Night Night couldn’t help but feel a sense of ‘leave it to me.’
“Thank you, Sister Evalyn… I, I will definitely work hard.”
Night Night was also excited because her dream was about to be realized.
‘You certainly should thank me; I’m temporarily lending you such a good husband.’
Evalyn felt disgruntled in her heart, but she didn’t show it.
Such excitement caused Night Night to forget that she had only come out after lying to her sister, and she also forgot the faint jealousy she felt yesterday.
Even though her heart was bleeding, for some reason, a mysterious sense of excitement rose within her.
Evalyn smiled as she looked at Faon.
“Husband… what do you say?”
“…” Faon was silent for a while before finally relenting.
“Since Miss Night Night has no objection, I will naturally listen to Sister Lin.”
“Great! Then let’s begin!”
Evalyn said with a giggle.
She rearranged the three of them, making Night Night sit in her spot while having her husband and Night Night face each other, claiming it was to… “get used to eye contact first.”
She, on the other hand, sat across from them, resting her chin on her crossed hands, looking like she was “supervising.”
At this moment, Night Night felt Faon was close at hand, and her breathing became slightly heavy.
She hadn’t touched his hand even once over the past few days, yet she hadn’t forgotten that sensation at all.
Suddenly being this close, it could be said that if Evalyn weren’t watching from the side, she might have involuntarily drawn closer.
But just looking like this… quietly feeling the aura coming from Mister Faon… was wonderful for Night Night.
But she still craved more.
His wife’s gaze made Faon feel very strange; he had a constant feeling of being watched while doing something inappropriate.
However, Night Night’s slightly heavy breathing, her visible figure, and her exquisite face that could be viewed at close range made Faon’s thoughts turn a bit strange as well.
He noticed the unusual blush on Night Night’s face and those very attractive, delicate eyes, and he also noticed her purple eyelashes trembling slightly.
The atmosphere among the three gradually became peculiar.
Evalyn realized that she was acting very strangely now.
Aside from the subconscious jealousy and resentment, she actually found herself reluctant to speak up and interrupt the two of them.
‘No, this definitely won’t do!’
Evalyn hastily spoke, “…Yeye, are you already used to making eye contact with my husband?”
“…Yes.”
Night Night, her feeling interrupted, hurriedly shifted her gaze away.
To hide her state, Night Night, whose fair neck was tinged with a blush, gave a soft affirmation.
Faon also shifted his gaze to the side, and the strange thoughts in his heart eased slightly.
He took the opportunity to say, “Should we wait until we actually run into a familiar face? I can remind Miss Night Night then.”
“We’ve already started… let’s see it through to the end, shall we? It’s fine, I’ll hold back and won’t get jealous.”
Evalyn struggled internally for a while before speaking with a smile.
“I… I will also be careful not to cross any lines!” Night Night followed suit.
Being asked by both of them at the same time, Faon’s tone was somewhat helpless.
“Alright, Sister Lin… but Miss Night Night doesn’t need to have too much of a psychological burden. There’s no need to worry about crossing lines or anything like that.”
It was just a title, and she was just following his wife’s way of addressing him.
In the future, the only one who could call him that was his wife.
When he snapped back to his senses — what was he thinking?! Faon quickly collected his thoughts.
The feeling in his heart shifted from strange to a faint expectation.
Just what would happen when Night Night, who was so prone to small reactions, called him by that name? He spoke, “Then… then let’s begin.”
For some reason, he felt his throat go dry.
Night Night gave a soft “mm.”
Evalyn also became quiet, watching from the side, her heart pounding.
‘What am I getting nervous for? Shouldn’t it be my husband and Yeye who are nervous?!’
Time seemed to freeze for a moment.
After a while, the silent Night Night took a deep breath, raised her head, and looked at Faon.
“…Fa… Mister Faon, I’m… I’m going to start trying.”
Faon looked at her silently and nodded gently.
“…Then… then… Hus… Husband!”
