I have not seen Spy X Family in person but I’m getting the feeling that Loid’s insistence that everything he’s doing is “for the mission” and nothing more might come back to bite him if Yor (and her brother too I guess) find out he’s a spy. The whole “So none of it was real for you. You were just playing a part” thing.
First: You really should either read or watch Spy x Family, and preferably both. Hands down my favorite manga / anime series of all time. It has everything. Drama, intrigue, romance, found family, hilarity. You want it? This manga has it. Read / watch it and let your life be enriched.
Second: HMMM, not really? First of all, Yuri (Yor's brother) would celebrate on some level because he's super jealous of Loi-Loi and doesn't want his sister to be with him. Like he says that he wants his sister to be married to someone who loves her, and I think on some level he believes that, but no guy will ever actually be good enough to pass his metric, which we know because the front that Twilight puts up as Loid Forger is literally the perfect man. So while Yuri would of course be enraged that Twilight deceived his sister (on top of all of his other professional reasons for hating Twilight), he would also be glad to have a reason to arrest and torture him to death. Literally.
As for Yor, this is a fake family to her, too! (Well, "fake family" — she's becoming the mask just as much as Twilight is.) She's the one who proposed the sham marriage so that the Secret Police wouldn't suspect her of being a spy since she's single (which has happened to other single women around her age in her country), and so that she could therefore keep being an assassin in peace. In fact, there's a chapter where Twilight mistakenly comes under the impression that Yor has developed romantic feelings for him, and decides to take advantage of her feelings by acting like he reciprocates them by kissing her, and before his lips touch hers she kicks him in the face so hard she breaks his jaw. (Which he 100% deserved for trying to use her. Shame on you, Twilight!) So Yor wouldn't have a revelation of, "This was all fake to you?" because it's fake to her, too! She's no more cognizant of her feelings for Twilight than he is of his feelings for her. They're both dummies in the dark. The four-year-old in their midst is the only one who has any idea what's going on, but she's too little to know what to do with it. On that note, ANYA is the one Yor would likely feel angry for; knowing that Twilight used this little girl would piss her off big time, until she realizes that he really has come to love Anya too (and she already knows that Anya loves him, and her as well, because Anya gave them "a perfect 100 points!" during the Eden interview).
All of that said though, Twilight thinking "this is all for the mission!!" is all in his head. He's never said it out loud, and he wouldn't because that would blow his cover as a spy, lmao. Unlike Agent Daybreak, Twilight actually knows what he's doing. (Which is why his services can't be bought with a child's allowance.) So there's no way that either one of them would overhear it. The only one who would hear it is Anya, and she's definitely not telling because a.) she's terrified of what will happen if she reveals her powers, b.) she loves her Papa and wouldn't want her Unkie to arrest him, and c.) she's even more terrified of losing her family, which is why her insistence on helping Twilight with Operation Strix is so heartbreaking. She has no idea that she's accelerating the end of the family she cherishes and wants to keep so badly. :')
