At night, in the bedroom at home.
After taking a cold shower and enjoying his wife’s “service,” Faon still felt that his body had not returned to normal.
It did not feel as though he had “vented” at all.
On the contrary, because of his wife’s clumsy technique, his desire to become one with her and keep going had been thoroughly aroused.
‘Is there really no other way to relieve this without doing that?’
Faon sighed inwardly. However, hugging his wife like this, while being honest and exposed with one another, made him feel that ‘this is enough for now.’
Evalyn, whose hands and mouth were aching slightly, lay in Faon’s arms, feeling somewhat satisfied.
She was a bit tired after “helping” as her husband requested, especially since she had to endure the urge to exercise her rights as a wife during the process.
As for why she was satisfied… it was because there was still a harvest.
At the very least, she had seen the expression on her husband’s face when he “craved” such things.
If it weren’t so indecent, she would have wanted to record her husband’s first “craving” posture.
Even in Evalyn’s “private collection,” there was no such expression.
Thinking this, Evalyn suddenly felt her husband stir again.
Her face flushed slightly as she gently caressed him, speaking with a giggle, “What is it? Hubby even helped your wife develop a new Skill, and you’re still not satisfied? Do you want to go again?”
“I don’t want to taste ‘myself’ again,” Faon replied with a forced smile.
During the process, his wife had been constantly asking how he knew such techniques and whether he had any exes.
Although he knew she was just curious, Faon had managed to dodge the questions.
He couldn’t exactly say that this was knowledge that had always been in his head, could he?
“Does Hubby think my body is too weak?”
Realizing something, Evalyn suddenly spoke cautiously.
“Today was the first time I saw Hubby look like he ‘successfully vented,’ which also means you haven’t been satisfied by me before.”
Aside from the joy of her “harvest,” Evalyn understood that the gap between her and her husband was more than just a little bit, even though their Stamina Level was both S.
Faon had seen this cautious expression on his wife before, and he really did not want to see it again.
Yet, this was the one thing he was currently powerless to change.
He knew he couldn’t hide it much longer, but he also knew his wife would feel guilty about it.
Evalyn already had a lot on her plate, and she was always trying to be the “Perfect Wife.”
He did not want that, but he could not use his previous excuse to brush it off either.
“This is the first time for me too, so I can’t say for sure, but I think it varies from person to person.”
Faon hugged Evalyn tightly, preparing to tell a half-truth.
“I think you are naturally sensitive, Evalyn, and I have the kind of constitution that takes a long time to get into the mood. So, maybe we’re still in the ‘exploring’ stage.”
After saying that, Faon added another sentence.
“At least for me… as long as you’re comfortable, that’s enough.”
“That won’t do. No matter how silly I am, I know that both parties should be comfortable in this kind of thing. What if it affects our relationship?”
Evalyn shook her head. After getting married, the once-conservative woman had come to understand many things.
“I feel like when Hubby said it was ‘very comfortable’ before, he was completely lying to his wife.”
“Not at all.”
Faon laughed awkwardly.
“Why would I lie to you about that? Besides, a conservative person like you is willing to do these things for me, and I’m very moved. Oh, right… I forgot to give you your gift.”
Diverting the subject, Faon sat up and quickly used Holy Magic to calm his excitement.
He took a delicate little box from the pocket of the clothes he had worn during the day and handed it to his wife.
“Evalyn, why don’t you open it and see?” he said with a smile.
Evalyn took it with a bit of dissatisfaction.
“Changing the subject…”
“I just remembered it now,” Faon chuckled.
Evalyn gave a soft huff and stopped pressing him. Probing further would only make her feel bad.
She opened the box, and inside was a delicate Gemstone Necklace.
It was beautiful and extremely rare even in the large cities of the Empire, and the color was a precious white.
“This must be very expensive, right? And… can you really buy something like this in a Frontier Town?”
Although Evalyn loved it, she still spoke up. She was afraid her husband felt guilty because of the handholding this morning and had gone to great lengths to compensate her.
Even though the Receptionist had told her there were benefits to doing so, Evalyn did not want to manipulate her husband, nor did she want guilt to haunt him.
She felt sorry for him. Before they were married, Evalyn could only support him silently from behind, watching and encouraging him.
Now that they were married, she didn’t want it to be like that anymore. She wanted to do practical things for her husband.
“Don’t worry, it was just a lucky find,” Faon said with a smile. He helped his wife sit up and introduced the piece as he put it on her.
“The gem on it is called a ‘Holy Light Stone.’ After special processing, it has the effect of ‘nourishing the body.’ But this one actually just looks nice. The person who made it didn’t seem to know the function of the Holy Light Stone and didn’t process it specially, so the price was relatively low. Nobody in a beginner town knows about this material, so I got it for a steal.”
After the introduction, Faon looked at his wife wearing it.
“Yeah, you look beautiful wearing it, Evalyn. It suits you…”
But because of this, a sliver of desire was stirred again. The attention he had worked so hard to divert returned to lewd thoughts.
“Thank you, Hubby! Since that’s the case, as your wife, I won’t fall behind. When we go back to our hometown, I’ll ask the best jeweler in town to forge an identical one for you. That way, everyone will know we are husband and wife.”
Evalyn hugged her husband. If she hadn’t already lied about being on her period, she would have done her absolute best to satisfy him, but she couldn’t do that now.
Faon hugged her back and said with a smile, “There’s no need for that. This was just meant to be a small everyday gift for you.”
“Hmph… If I have one and Hubby doesn’t, wouldn’t that be too pitiful?”
Evalyn’s face turned slightly red.
“Besides… Hubby, you’re poking me there again… You’re still not satisfied, are you?”
“Didn’t you say earlier today that you’d make me see you in a new light when we get back from our hometown?”
Faon’s body stiffened as he tried to change the subject.
“Where’s that confidence now?”
“…” Evalyn fell silent for a moment.
“I… I only confirmed today that Hubby has never been satisfied before.”
“Don’t worry about it. This is indeed a part of life, but it’s not the entirety of it. Besides, progress is what makes things worth looking forward to.”
Faon shook his head.
“By the way… I’m going to take a shower now. Do you want to go? You’ve broken a sweat, after all.”
“I think I’ll pass… I’ll wash tomorrow morning. I’m a bit tired today, and… I want to look at the gift you gave me a bit more.”
Evalyn subconsciously stroked the necklace around her neck and smiled gently.
Furthermore, if they showered together, it was entirely possible he would discover the reality that she wasn’t actually on her period.
“Alright.”
Faon nodded and hurriedly walked toward the bathroom.
