Recap of Spy x Family Chapter 120

Spy x Family Chapter 120, titled Our Little Secret, was a turning point for Yor Forger as she finally admitted that she might be in love with Loid. However, this heartfelt confession was not directed toward Loid himself but to their daughter Anya.
Yor remains convinced that Loid only sees their marriage as a contractual agreement, which led her to ask Anya to keep her feelings a secret. This marks the first significant emotional breakthrough in their relationship.
Yor's internal struggle has been building throughout recent chapters. During the Mitteran Elk mission, she found herself reflecting on the nature of marriage after speaking with Matthew McMahon, a fellow assassin.
Unlike her, Matthew shared a genuine romantic bond with his wife despite his dangerous profession. This contrast deeply affected Yor, highlighting the emptiness she felt in her own arrangement with Loid.

These thoughts prompted Yor to ask Loid on a casual outing, hoping to understand their relationship better. During their time together, she quietly asked how long their marriage would last.
Loid, ever calm and pragmatic, reassured her that he was fine continuing the arrangement as long as necessary. While this answer may have seemed supportive, it wasn’t the permanent commitment Yor secretly desired. Her heart ached for something deeper—a real future with Loid.
Meanwhile, Loid began sensing that something had changed in Yor's behavior. Though he couldn't pinpoint the reason, he resolved to become more attuned to her emotions and to learn who she truly was beyond their arrangement. At the same time, Anya picked up on the emotional tension brewing between her parents.
In a twist of fate, Becky Blackbell gave Anya a “hand on heart” exercise to help her determine her feelings for Damian. Though it didn’t work on Anya, she later repeated the gesture with Yor.
The result was unexpected, Yor placed her hand on her chest and confessed to Anya that she might genuinely be in love with Loid. But her insecurity remained: she feared Loid’s feelings didn’t match hers, and that their marriage was still just a façade.
What to expect from Spy x Family Chapter 121?

After Yor’s emotional confession to Anya, readers are eager to see how the story unfolds in Spy x Family Chapter 121. One of the most anticipated developments is how Loid will respond.
Although he didn’t hear the confession directly, Loid’s growing concern for Yor hints that he may take meaningful steps to understand her better. This could signal a long-awaited shift from professional partnership to something far more personal.
Outside of the family drama, the series’ spy-related plots may begin to resurface. The mission involving the Mulder C recruitment could make a comeback, raising the stakes for Loid’s work. There’s also the potential for the reintroduction of characters like Fiona Frost or Millie, whose comedic or romantic interference could spice things up even further.
Final thoughts
Chapter 121 of Spy x Family is shaping up to be one of the most emotionally significant entries in the series. Yor’s confession represents a major leap in character development and relationship progression. Though she kept her feelings hidden from Loid, the moment was a quiet but powerful turning point that fans have long anticipated.
