That night, Yor came home earlier.

Right on time to have dinner together as a family.

'Mama, you 're home! ' Anya beamed.

The little girl got up and pulled the chair for her. She 'd been extra helpful and affectionate towards her mama since that morning, oddly enough so had Bond. Whenever Yor was in the room, both of them were glued to her. Yor didn 't mind.

Loid 's eyes lit up. Yor noticed it before he looked away.

She was still nervous, but not like the night before. At least now, she was able to be in the same room as her husband.

Melinda 's words were still ringing in her ears, but she wasn 't convinced yet. That 's why she needed to observe Loid. She needed to know.

So, for the rest of the evening, she did not take her eyes off her husband, like when she was Thorn Princess studying a target 's movements.

Just during dinner, she caught him looking at her more than twenty times.
