From my pov, whatever he did was acceptable. Mainly because he knows that it is impossible for her to have his baby and a most likely conclusion would be that she had "it" which another guy. And for that he can't be blamed for his anger. Neither can Violet too, since she's clueless about what is happening. this is all a misunderstanding and was all planned by winter's parents which traces back to the development of this misunderstanding
I wanna be pissed, but I kinda get where he's coming from? We can call him an idiot all we want ('cause he's so fucking dense, omfg) but like. He only has small pieces of the puzzle, y'know? He thinks his wife is giving her money to a "friend" that happens to be a playboy and he knows he can't have children with her because of his genetics. So the most obvious thing for him to think is the child isn't his. I'm trying to keep calm and remember that he's just now learning of his parents' and society's treatment of his wife, so he's not even thinking this might be a set up of any sort. I'm HOPING this story has a happy ending. But also I'm a sucker for/feed on Angst, so- *bring it, author* (〜 ̄△ ̄)〜
