Male Lead's First Wife (5 Chapters Left to Complete) - Chapter 111

“Not at all how it seemed.”

“Oh really? I tried hard not to show it, after all. Since we’re on the topic, how about having a drink together this evening?”

At the unexpected invitation, Ubbus Lucan’s shoulder twitched involuntarily—memories of yesterday’s defeat flashing through his mind.
