Camito is gone, but his words today have made Joey and Carter ponder what the dwarf is planning and why there's a sense of danger gradually approaching.

"Liya?"

Martha quickly discovered the three of them as they returned to the furnace.

With less work to do at the smelting furnace, she's quite idle now, except for the evenings when she's very busy.

"Masha, hello, it's been a long time!"

Liya greeted him, forcing a smile. She had just parted ways with her father and was still recovering from her sadness.

"It really is you! I haven't seen you in so long. And you, you rarely come to my house anymore!"

Martha looked at Liya with a hint of reproach.

"I heard you got married. I think it's better if I contact you less often, I'm afraid your husband will be unhappy!"

Liya quickly explained.

"Sam dares, but things are definitely different after marriage. Why don't you get married too, then we'll all be the same again!"

Liya was speechless.

"Oh, I forgot there are no young male dwarves in this sandstone city!"

Martha rested her chin on her right hand, seemingly deep in thought.

Suddenly, an idea struck her, and she stared intently at the bewildered Liya.

"Why don't you marry Sam too? Then we can be like we used to be!"

Everyone was shocked by Martha's outrageous remarks. Even Carter shook his head repeatedly, thinking that his silly daughter was really saying something astonishing.

Joey was somewhat surprised, but her expression quickly turned to jealousy.

Unexpectedly, things took a turn for the better, and the bearded man resumed the life he had once lived, while he himself had been celibate for several months.

Sigh, how much longer will this "internship boyfriend" relationship last? Looks like I need to speed things up!
