I think ML's cold demeanor has had more to do with his upbringing. It seems as though he was brought up thinking that the family business, dukedom or whatever has to come first and can't ever be swayed by his feelings. And as capable as he is, yea, he's also still young when all the events happened. He was also aware that he wasn't the only choice for FL so hearing ''you were the best choice'' stung him hard.
I don't think either of them were really ready to be parents when it came to it. They failed to address (or arent even fully aware of) the underlying issues of their marriage. They're both at fault but they've also been wronged. :< and yea, the poor son indeed. I hope this all goes well in the end..
Yup. I think they're not ready too. All these political marriage make them choose things in impulsive way and sweep by romance that suddenly spark. Then suddenly heir and stuff which resulting in this
Well, its understandable when you consider her age. She was just a kid herself and she didn't have the support she needed during her pregnancy & bad events kept happening around her . Yeah "You were my best choice" are not the exact words you want to hear from your wife but what did he expect? She was pressured by everything and had to marry someone she didn't know well at such young age. He didn't show any of his feelings either and he chose to see her like "just a girl" and treated her that way. She could love him back if only he was a bit more open about his feelings. Honestly I find ML more at fault here but again, he was young too. Also I don't know his backstory yet so can't say much about him.They were both kids so it only makes sense this kind of things happened. Their son is the only one who isn't at fault at all. Poor kid. I hope she can give him the love he deserves and he accepts it too.
