The Bad Husband (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 91

Even after Tae Eun left, Seo Woo couldn’t stop her tears.

The reality she’d suddenly realized was too cruel—what she’d stubbornly called love until now was, in truth, resentment toward Woo Jin—or even that resentment itself had sprung from her own guilt. To her, it was simply shocking.
