Yep... but it was because he would finally confess to her. The confession was actually good! It was along the lines of "You're my priority, and my only family. (I'll need to give major spoilers for context)" And the confession will be near the end of the story and climax.
The funny part is that before this, Annette is still fully onboard with her plan to leave.
No problem! I wanted her to leave as well lol.
The redemption arc was good but short tho.

Even before the confession, he will have an idea of her plan leave. And he will be a giant puppy after his confession - lots of sweet moments.
So, currently reading the novel, and it'll take a long time for the ML to admit his feelings to the MC. It seems that he actually liked, if not loved her in both timelines, but he's a big tsundere. Actually wished at some point that the MC pushed through her plan to leave him.
