I felt uncomfortable reading this chapter😭 or is just me

Same

It took me a while to make it passed the title

Not just you. I feel like the author thinks her readers have the attention span of a toddler and can't go too long without smut before they start to get bored. So she adds more sex scenes in order to try and recaptivate our attention and engagement lmao, when in reality most would prefer actual communication and development.
