Awakening

"But before that happens, I want you to be very very careful with your words husband. Do not let anything let slip to anyone." 

Lady Felicia only really called Lapitus husband when she needed something out of him, like now, where she urged, 

"And remember, if the Pasha ever asks you if you liked his gift, say yes and that you had brought a similar one some time ago."

"This will help me return the item without raising any suspicion."

Yes.

This was the punchline behind this so very long winded scheme.

For this was how Lady Felicia intended to foil Alexander's threat. 

Now that she had instructed Lapitus this, even if Alexander was to throw his reputation to the winds and question him, he would still likely fail.

And Lapitus, who was currently being distracted by his wife's loving caress on a very particular part of his body, only had the mindset to groan and nod, preventing him from thinking and asking unnecessary questions.
