TO BE honest, Wooju didn't expect Baek Gyubin to ask if she could stay as his wife.
But he knew that it wasn't her own will.
He could see the grimace on Baek Gyubin's face.
"Is the System forcing you to stay married to me, Gyubin-ssi?" Wooju asked carefully. "You don't have to stay in this marriage if you don't want to. And don't worry about anything else. I'll still support you even if we're already divorced."
He was sincere with everything that he had said.
That was why he found it strange that he felt a protest in his chest.
What's wrong with me?
"It's not like the System is forcing me," Baek Gyubin said. "But the reward is tempting, so I'm asking you if I can stay as your wife in the meantime. Apparently, the System needs my skills for the upcoming calamity."
Wooju's eyes widened a bit. "A calamity? A calamity is about to hit the country?"
"That's what the System said, but it didn't give a detailed explanation."
