Chapter 37: The Truth(Part-2)
Dapper began explaining his system to Ruth, who sat with her chin resting on her palms, her eyes fixed on him the entire time, not looking away for even a second.
He laid everything bare, holding nothing back, while Ruth remained silent, simply staring at him.
"So, you have *that* kind of system, huh?" Ruth finally said, causing Dapper to let out a sigh. He knew what she meant—"that type" referred to cheating men in this world who deceived their partners by hiding the fact that their systems required sexual acts or had perverted conditions. It had practically become a cliche excuse among unfaithful men.
Now that her own husband was saying something similar, Ruth couldn’t help but feel conflicted.
"What do you really want in a woman? I... I tried so hard to be the best wife for you, b-but you still found reasons to look at other women. Do my feelings even matter to you?" Ruth asked, her voice trembling as tears welled in her eyes.
Dapper had expected this. It was exactly why he waited until the right moment to tell her. He had already prepared for this reaction—he had a countermeasure ready.
"Darling, I won’t lie to you. Just take a look at this," Dapper said, gesturing for Ruth to look up.
’Activate screen share.’ Dapper said inwardly.
[Screen Share Activated. Third parties can now view the Host’s system panel. Visibility is limited. Card duration: One minute.]
"Screen Share" was a utility card Dapper had purchased from the system store. The moment he saw it, he knew it would be useful for this exact situation.
Suddenly, a glowing panel appeared before them. Ruth’s eyes widened as she saw the familiar system interface—but it wasn’t hers. It was Dapper’s.
