Also he said that he still loves them
Like I’m sure he tried his best, but because how he grew up he was awkward about that subject, and his wife, why’d she marry him if she was gonna treat him like that, and his daughter? Like you went to college with money he provided and just cuz he can’t join y’all, your gonna say for him to get his own house and act like he doesn’t exist, if I was him and though I’d love them, if I was treated like that I’d leave. I hope they regret how they treated him. Yes he neglected them but he still provided, no? But for sure no mercy on his family, imo I hope they go into trouble and reflect how much worst they had treated him.
Honestly please don't be so harsh on that family. The ML is mostly at fault even though he probably doesn't want to act like he did. If your parent is never there when you need him, never really involved in his relationships be it children or wife after a long time there will be indifference. Believe me I can tell because my dad was pretty much the same. It got better for him and I still love him but I do have a certain indifference and no trust towards him. So I can totally understand that family for giving up on him after a certain point. A family is not just based on blood.
Your right, it's based on the relation with one another
I hope they show the reaction of the previous family
If they don't at least shed a sincere tear for the MC's death and instead feasting on his hard-earned money that he literally overworked himself to death to gain, I'd say they don't even deserve mercy.
