"wife" is just fine. Feels more direct and pointed towards the MC. "my wife" has a little bit more possessiveness so maybe only use those if alphonse needs to make a point of not letting other people near the Duchess
Either way, thanks so much for the chapter. Started out jolly and ended up kinda hot and sizzly
Needs more rose petals. I liked this chapter, very relaxing, happy, and bubbly. Drunk Chloe is a bit dangerous. Shame on those shameless men who want to get close to her.
I got used to wife tbh, sounds like how Alphonse would talk. Like not too affectionate, but still expressing it by calling her "wife". Except for when referring to her in convo ofc (for the my). Tho I was a bit thrown off at first
“My wife” sounds distant like she is an object type of thing but wife is a little more homely like a name I supppose...tho you could change it to honey or something because he is intending to be endearing
