for real tho, he might have the mentality of a 40 year old but it would just be as equally as wrong of he dated someone his mothers age.
arthur explicitly said that if tess could wait for him then that would be great, theres no romance yet so people shouldnt be pressed over a matter that wont happen till they grow up in 10 years or so, arthur still has his responsibilities that he has to take care of, and he values taking care of matters that need to be solved now rather than love which can absolutely wait in the future.
plsss lmao if i was him i'd also feel very uncomfortable dating a 12 year old which is why he asked her to wait until they're adults. also tbh i wasn't expecting romance until they added the romance tag. maybe i wouldn't have started it if i did but it has nothing to do with jealousy yk since uhh i have a gf ⁄(⁄ ⁄·⁄ω⁄·⁄ ⁄)⁄
Tbh im just really mad that ppl r commenting bad things about how they dont want a romance or other bad things. I mean just one or two comments is okay but no they comments about this in every fuking chapters and im fed up with it like when i went to the comment expecting good comments and itz just filled with all this bad comments. I even feel bad for the writer who put so much efforts into this masterpiece ╥﹏╥
Im getting mad at all of the ppl saying auther is mentally about 40 years and that dating tess is weird becuz tess is still 12 like bitch do u guys want him to marry a physically 40 years old woman or wut?He should just married that old professor at this point ( ̄へ ̄). And itz his choice who he wanna be with so cant u just appreciate his decision....yeah u dont like tess,i get it so just dropped it if u dont want romance in it.U guys r just jealous cuz nobody wants to be in a relationship with a potato like u ╮( ̄▽ ̄)╭
