Nah.. the beginning showed a clip from the future. The duke and his wife dying. It's likelier he realized she was someone loyal and did not betray him or something that caused the tragedy and realized his mistakes.
Still doesn't absolve him of fault, and at least he recognizes it. Also kudos for the FL for not trusting him. Even if he wanted a political marriage he could have at least treated her with respect and ensured she was well treated. The servants were trash but it was his fault for not managing the staff or giving her that authority.
bruh, in the first page in the first chapter the fl was already dead and the ml was dying, just like the first reply, i think the duke realized he made a mistake with the fl
Don’t tell me he wants her back because she found a better man in the future or something, and that’s only when he realised how much she means to him and all that … I know this won’t happen but I hope she learns what happened in the future so she stops giving in to his high horse act
