thank you for another great chapter, yeah I think he may be a tad suspicious so I think he went home earlier then expected so he can both check out and flex on the competition. I feel sorry for Nami you can tell in this chapter that part of her is still trying to process and come to terms with Hanako ending up with her current husband rather then her so she's trying to prove to herself and Hanako that she could be just as good as or should have been picked by her instead. I think she knows that Hanako seems to be upset with or bothered by how things turned out and Nami is trying to figure out for both of them what the reason is. Hanako on the other hand I just think loves the additional attention and that Nami is a form of release for her.
I don't think the husband is a bad guy though his response to Hanako wanting to rejoin the workforce seemed a tad lackluster/odd though he could be spending more time with both at and outside of their home.
