While I’m Asking Nicely

Marie, the youngest daughter of Earl Odillia, and Kalik, the second son of the Marquis Escael, have been married for three years.
Their union, a marriage of convenience, has always been strained—different family expectations, clashing mindsets, even incompatible habits.
The only “couple-like” activity they share is having dinner together twice a week; they haven’t even held hands, let alone shared a wedding night.

Then one day, Kalik falls into a coma after a riding accident, and an unexpected event unfolds.
When he wakes up three days later, he has completely lost all memory of their marriage and everything since!

Seeing an opportunity, Marie, who once hoped for a divorce, tells him they were actually a loving couple. Kalik, fully convinced, transforms into an affectionate, doting husband.
The time when they slept separately becomes meaningless as he becomes obsessed with Marie, and although Marie is flustered by the situation her prank has caused, she gradually opens her heart as she gets to know Kalik better.
As a result, she refuses the suggestion from both families that they can now divorce and continues the marriage…

But then, one day, Kalik’s memory returns.

(Excerpt)

“Let go of me!”
“I’ll let go if you promise not to leave me.”
“I’m not leaving you…”
“Please, don’t leave.”
“No, I’m just trying to leave the room…”
“Please…”

Who knew leaving the room would become such a desperate act?
