Eventually, the Female Lead Ran Away (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 46

Irene Brown was poor. Her husband, who had run a business, fell ill and died, leaving behind nothing but a mountain of debt and their daughter.

The stationery shop owner greeted Irene warmly as she stopped by the store she often visited before heading home.

“Hello. Have you been well?”
