Was Ren Serious?

Ren was amazed by the girl's persistence. It was easy for him to give her whatever she needed. But as it turned out, Fae preferred to work to support herself.

Ren sighed and seemed to think about Fae's words for a moment.

Whatever relationship they have now ... was only temporary.

"You only want to be supported if you become my wife?" asked Ren as he looked deeply at Fae. "We can get married."

"Ugh ... don't talk so carelessly," said Fae, coughing. She didn't expect Ren, who was always serious, to joke like this. "Don't joke about serious matters like marriage."

"I'm not joking," said Ren firmly.

His words amazed Fae. "What do you mean you're not joking? Of course, you are."
