Jin, whose peaceful time with Ordel had been interrupted, immediately rolled her eyes.

“Oh my, coming in without even knocking? What if you startle Ordel?”

“My wife has amazing hearing for my footsteps, so I don’t need to worry about that. I get special treatment as her husband.”

Lute smiled with his eyes.

Jin got goosebumps.

“Are you feeling alright? You’re not tired because of this person, are you?”

Lute, who had come right over, kissed Ordel’s head, forehead, and cheeks with little pecks.

Jin, who had been leaning against Ordel and heard those sounds up close, jumped up in shock.

Seeing him grin mischievously, it was clear he did it on purpose to make her move away.

“It’s not me who’s annoying, it’s you. We were having a nice time together as friends after so long, and you couldn’t stand it and had to force your way in?”

“Force my way in? Don’t you see the sun is setting? It’s dinner time.”

Surprised by Lute’s words, Jin turned her head.

She had definitely come early in the morning, but somehow time had passed and the sunset was already glowing.

‘I shouldn’t have taken that nap in the middle.’

When she was with Ordel, her heart felt so at ease that she often fell asleep without realizing it.

Jin clicked her tongue.

Of course, it was nice to see her first meeting with Cha Siwon in a dream after so long, but still, the time that had passed felt precious.

“I can’t interfere with a pregnant woman’s meal time. See you tomorrow, Ordel.”

Still, Jin quickly shook off her regret.

She had decided to stay here for a while anyway.

Since nights were time for the married couple, she couldn’t stubbornly stick around, but she was satisfied knowing she could see Ordel’s face again when the sun rose tomorrow.

“Yes, Jin. Have a good night.”

After exchanging light greetings, Jin glared at Lute and got up from the sofa.

However, Lute’s gaze remained fixed on Ordel throughout.

“No tightness in your belly? Anywhere uncomfortable?”

“Not at all. But after eating, I’d like you to massage my legs.”

“I’ll do that. I actually bought some new oil that you said smelled nice last time.”

“Oh, really? That woody scent makes me feel peaceful. Thank you.”

The conversation that drifted over was incredibly gentle and affectionate.

Lute’s appearance, carefully observing Ordel’s every action, was the ideal husband itself.

Thanks to this, despite being in her final month, Ordel looked very comfortable rather than uncomfortable.

‘Thank goodness, really.’

Jin carefully closed the door so as not to disturb the two.

She could no longer monopolize her friend’s time like before, but she wasn’t particularly disappointed because Ordel looked happy now.

She would be even happier when the baby was born.

‘When we were at the orphanage, we had nothing but our bodies, no friends or family.’

Now they had everything.

If Cha Siwon hadn’t pulled her out from under the blankets, neither of them would have had anything.

Cha Siwon’s life would have ended short, and Joo Hyun-jin’s life would have ended even faster.

But because Cha Siwon saved Joo Hyun-jin, both of them gained happy peace.

And this time, they would truly be happy together until they grew old and died.

‘I hope Guwon is born soon.’

Throughout three lifetimes, this would be the first time she’d have a niece or nephew.

Just thinking about it made her keep smiling with excitement.

Jin hummed a tune as she walked with light steps toward the restaurant.

It was an Earth lullaby filled with memories that Ordel used to hum beside her when she slept.

“Is the food okay? It hasn’t gotten cold, has it?”

“Yes, Monica took great care so it’s fine. It’s really delicious.”

Eating the steak that Lute had cut into bite-sized pieces, Ordel smiled with satisfaction.

The meal that Monica had brought to the bedroom was still very warm, not cold at all.

Despite becoming a high priest succeeding Ditrihi at a young age through tremendous effort, Monica still insisted on being Ordel’s personal maid.

When told she could hand the duty over to someone else, Monica looked as if the world was ending, so Ordel just let her do as she pleased.

Anyway, Monica, Idella, and Jeremy – the trio who bickered but eventually became close friends – really hadn’t changed.

“Here’s some water. Is there anything else you want to eat?”

Throughout Ordel’s meal, Lute postponed his own dinner and stayed right beside her, taking care of her attentively.

If her throat seemed a bit blocked, he immediately offered water, and if she couldn’t reach the food well, he would personally feed her.

Monica also always helped her as a personal maid, but she didn’t fuss over her this much.

Since this was the first time receiving such care in both her past and present lives, honestly Lute’s overprotectiveness had felt awkward at first…

“I’m fine for now. But after finishing the meal, I’d like to drink some orange juice as a palate cleanser.”

After a few months, this had become very familiar too.

It was so comfortable that now Ordel would sit without lifting a finger and boss Lute around with just her words.

“Got it. I’ll bring it after taking the dishes away.”

And Lute never once found it bothersome, answering affectionately and kissing her cheek or forehead.

The light skinship that had become more frequent since her pregnancy always made her heart flutter whenever she received it.

Chicken salad, steak with mashed potatoes, and olive pasta too.

Though the portions were considerable, Ordel finished everything by herself.

She rubbed her satisfyingly full belly and smiled contentedly.

“Not having morning sickness is truly a blessing. I got food cravings instead, but that’s much better than not being able to eat.”

When she first came to this world, perhaps because of her pure body, she had no muscles and a small stomach, so she ate very little.

But as she lived and got used to it, the amount gradually increased.

Moreover, after the fight with ‘Evil’, her Earth body and current body mixed, completely recovering her Earth eating capacity.

But imagine if she had morning sickness and couldn’t eat.

It would have been truly painful.

“Plus, the best part is not worrying about gestational diabetes even eating like this.”

“Gestational diabetes?”

Lute, who had been tidily cleaning up, tilted his head.

“Gestational diabetes. Normally during pregnancy, blood sugar spikes even with little food. Hmm, is there no such term here?”

“I don’t think I’ve heard of it.”

“Right, this world has potions.”

Thanks to divine power and alchemy that didn’t exist on Earth, pregnancy in this world was actually much less dangerous than on Earth.

Ordel too, thanks to divine power, had no risk of suffering from gestational diabetes, so she freely ate as much of whatever she wanted.

Of course, gaining some weight was unavoidable…

‘Well, that can happen.’

Ordel didn’t particularly mind.

Gaining weight during pregnancy was perfectly normal anyway.

While Ordel got up and slowly walked around the bedroom to digest, Lute took the empty dishes to the restaurant and brought back the orange juice she had wanted.

But there was cake with it too.

When she stopped walking and stared at the cake, Lute shrugged his shoulders.

“I thought you might want to eat it together.”

“…How did you know?”

Sachertorte with tangy apricot jam was a dessert she had often enjoyed since her pregnancy.

But she hadn’t even mentioned it today – how did he know exactly what she wanted and bring it?

“I need to be at least this good to qualify as your husband.”

Lute smiled at Ordel with his eyes.

Ordel was genuinely amazed.

This is why even Jin, who dislikes Lute, doesn’t tell her to divorce him.

“Even if I told people you’re the number one groom material, they wouldn’t believe me.”

If she had to pick the most frequently heard comment since marrying Lute, it would definitely be one thing.

‘Does His Grace, no, does Lord Siery treat you well?’

The people of the capital who saw them frequently all knew, but when visiting other regions, people would ask with worried faces.

Each time, even when she laughed cheerfully and said he was a first-class groom candidate, so perfect there was nothing more to wish for, no one believed her.

Well, she understood those feelings too. Lute had quite the notorious reputation after all.
