A Marriage So Lethal (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 49

Kang Woo got into the car.

4 p.m. If he picked up Se Ah and headed to the restaurant, it would roughly be dinner time.

After starting the engine and gripping the steering wheel, he muttered under his breath, “I’m exhausted,” while loosening his tie slightly and lightly pressing beneath his sternum. A faint pain lingered.
