After Evalyn invited the two inside, the three of them sat on the sofa together, waiting for Faon to finish getting ready.
During this time, Evalyn spoke with a smile.
“I’m sorry… I’m going to have to make you wait a bit. My husband doesn’t go out often. He originally planned to just wash his face and head out, but I insisted he go tidy himself up.”
The sound of clothes being changed came from the bedroom.
“It’s no problem at all, Miss Evalyn. The day is still young. If anything, we arrived too early and interrupted the morning couple time between you and Brother Ang.”
Night Lei gave a slight smile.
She wasn’t just expressing her understanding; she was also teasing them a little.
Because she had dressed up meticulously, she looked even more seductive than usual.
“What do you mean ‘morning couple time’… Sister Lei, stop teasing me. Besides, coming early just means you’ll have more time to look around. After all, it’s Yeye’s first time going out.”
Even though Evalyn knew the other woman had dressed up because she was going to be with her husband, she still felt a sense of satisfaction upon hearing the phrase “morning couple time.”
‘It means she knows her place.’
“…And exactly because it’s her first time, my Yeye got up so early. Usually, she sleeps until the absolute deadline for work at the Church,” Night Lei said, resting her cheek on one hand and pretending to sigh.
Sitting beside her, Yeye’s face immediately turned a light shade of red.
She spoke up in protest, “But… but Sister was the one who got up early to make breakfast… That’s why we’re here so early.”
“Hehe… Is that so? Then who was it that was so excited about going out for the first time that she couldn’t sleep last night and pestered her sister to plan out the itinerary?”
Night Lei chuckled.
She was careful with her words, choosing not to mention Yeye’s “nonsense” about Faon from the night before.
“Si… Sister!”
Yeye looked at Evalyn with embarrassment.
“Fal… Sister Falin, don’t listen to my sister’s nonsense.”
“I’ve always felt that Sister Lei and Yeye have a great relationship,” Evalyn remarked.
“My sister and I don’t usually mess around like that.”
While Evalyn was trying to hint at the requirements of the [Special Commission], it was also the truth.
Whenever outsiders were present, Ailin would never mess around with her—not even in front of her husband, Faon.
‘…Sister.’
Hearing that word reminded Yeye of the conversation the two sisters had shared.
A whole night had passed, and she still hadn’t told her sister about that matter, even though she had kept her sister up chatting until midnight.
Perhaps it started with that handshake.
Yeye felt like her thoughts had begun to change.
It wasn’t just that… she didn’t want to be the child standing behind her sister anymore… there were other reasons too.
For instance, did she want to avoid sharing a certain identity with her sister?
“After all, Yeye is still a child who can’t leave her sister’s side,” Night Lei joked.
She noticed Yeye’s unusual behavior but chose not to address it at that moment.
Instead, she changed the subject.
“But… speaking of good relationships, I think the bond between Miss Evalyn and Brother Ang is the one that’s truly enviable. I think anyone would love life more if they were surrounded by a couple as devoted as you two.”
Night Lei’s praise was perfectly balanced.
It didn’t seem overly heavy, yet it struck exactly the right chord to make Evalyn feel comfortable.
Evalyn, however, didn’t notice the nuance.
A semi-demon who hadn’t received a formal education wouldn’t possess such sophisticated speaking skills.
“Sister Lei, you flatter us…”
Evalyn’s face turned slightly red from the praise.
But she hadn’t forgotten her objective.
She took both their hands in hers and said with a grin, “Sister Lei, Yeye, you’re only going out with my husband because I asked you to. So… you should definitely let my husband accompany you properly as you look around. If anyone asks and you don’t feel like explaining… Sister Lei, you can just say you’re a married couple with my husband.”
Evalyn couldn’t believe she had actually gone as far as to say that.
She didn’t believe Night Lei and Yeye would be able to resist making physical contact with her husband now.
She had practically laid the words “my husband is your husband for now” right in front of them.
It was just that…
Evalyn felt the sense of deja vu from the plot of that Count’s book becoming increasingly vivid.
Even Night Lei couldn’t help but be taken aback.
“Is… is that really okay?”
It seemed her suspicions were correct.
When it came to the women around her husband, Evalyn was not a conventional wife…
Even if she trusted him completely, could she really be this extreme?
Could this be a test of how much affection was actually in the marriage, or was she trying to sound out the relationship between her and Faon?
Yeye, who had remained silent, became even more withdrawn after hearing those words.
A thought even crossed Yeye’s mind.
‘That matter… I could just do it by myself, right? If only Sister goes…’
“It’s fine, really… It’s a hassle to explain, and it’s easy for people to get the wrong idea.”
Evalyn shook her head, though her heart felt bitter.
“Of course, I hope no one asks you. But if you don’t explain it that way, my husband might get into some trouble too.”
Night Lei felt a bit worried.
Was Miss Evalyn saying this because of her and Yeye’s status as semi-succubi?
Just as she was about to speak—
“What is Sister Falin talking about?”
The tidied-up Faon pushed open the door and entered.
Seeing the two women sitting on the sofa, he didn’t say much, simply offering a greeting.
Night Lei gave him an imperceptible look from head to toe before responding with a smile.
Yeye, on the other hand, stared blankly for a moment and only managed a greeting after her sister nudged her.
Evalyn took one look and immediately stood up to walk over to her husband.
She stared at him intently and said with a giggle, “Nothing, really. Just chatting. And you’re so slow, Husband. Sister Lei and Yeye have been waiting for a long time.”
Her husband was naturally very handsome, with a gentle temperament that made him the “kind-hearted” type of attractive man.
And although she said he was “tidying up,” he had really just changed into clothes he didn’t wear often and washed up a bit.
He looked nowhere near as groomed as he did when they went out together.
This made Evalyn feel that her husband was being very mindful of boundaries.
But even as she felt a sense of pride, she suddenly realized… perhaps she was the one here with the least sense of boundaries.
“The clothes I wore before were a bit hard to find. It took some time to find something easy to move in for being out and about,” Faon said apologetically.
“It’s fine. Since we’re all ready, shall we head out?”
Night Lei also stood up and walked over to the two of them, her expression normal.
Yeye followed behind Night Lei, stealing occasional glances at Faon.
Faon nodded.
“Then let’s go.”
Evalyn walked the three of them to the door.
After thinking for a moment, she spoke up.
“Oh, right… Sister Lei, Yeye, come straight to our house for dinner when you get back this afternoon. Have a good time while you’re out.”
After all, when they returned in the afternoon, she wanted to continue the [Special Commission].
For Evalyn, since the fact that her husband was interacting with other women couldn’t be changed, it was better to get things over with quickly.
“Real… Really?”
Yeye said, sounding a bit excited.
If that were the case… she could be with Mister Faon again legitimately.
But she was also truly afraid she might do something… something that would betray Sister Falin.
“Then we shall humbly accept,” Night Lei said, patting Yeye at the same time to remind her not to be so excited and to say thank you first.
Realizing her slip-up, Yeye spoke shyly.
“Tha… Thank you, Sister Lin!”
The two women walked ahead for a short distance.
“Is it… too much for you to be preparing dinner in your current condition, Sister Falin?”
Faon asked with a frown.
“A wife has her own principles,” Evalyn said, hands on her hips.
But then she softened her tone and reassured him, “Alright, alright. I know you’re worried… but it’s fine. Besides, do you remember my underwear size now, Husband?”
At the mention of that night, Faon’s first reaction wasn’t to blush; instead, he remembered the frustrations of that evening.
But he quickly shook the thought away.
He felt such things shouldn’t be dwelled upon.
“You can rest assured, Sister Falin. I remember everything about you.”
“That’s good… Now, hurry along.”
Evalyn looked past Faon’s shoulder and gave him a gentle push.
“Don’t keep Sister Lei and Yeye waiting too long. And remember to buy more daily necessities. After all, Ailin is coming over in a few days.”
Faon nodded.
“Alright.”
After waving goodbye to the three of them, Evalyn returned to her front door.
She felt a bit distressed.
Just now, she had acted exactly like the male protagonist in that book.
Even though her heart was bitter, she had to push her partner away with her own hands.
‘No, no… I can’t think like that. If I think like that, aren’t I just a useless person who can’t even keep an eye on her husband?’
Evalyn quickly shook her head, banishing the thought.
‘I am the perfect wife who can make her husband rely on her!’
She would transform the bitterness in her heart into the motivation to complete the commission!
