WHY . he paid people to harassed MC and those people seem to be willing to go above and beyond to rape her in order to get her into marrying him. Then he committed suicide cause he felt guilty instaed of divorcing her and letting her go.
And you forgot to mention got the FL pregnant so the ML knows what it’s like taking care of someone else’s kid. Fucking asshole
He was a delusional guy and basically manipulated the situation so that mc had no choice but to choose him. Why in the world would u like him better. The dude was delusional and what he did was beyond awful, while ml was a bit of a jerk but he did nothing bad except assuming stuff on his own.
Neither of these gentlemen was praise worthy, and while I don't like Jeff better, I do feel sorry for him. He realized he screwed up and his (ridiculously selfish and stupid) plan went south when he got drunk and was willing to step up to the plate when he though he was responsible, but it was like she said, he couldn't stand taking 2nd place to the ML in love, racing and then finding out he took second place in daddyhood too.
It's sad that he let his ego take priority over the boy who called him dad. He was 1st place in the boy's eyes, but he probably never thought of that, or if he did it just wasn't enough. He put himself in a no-win mindset and couldn't see his way out. It was a selfish decision, but I can't say I didn't sympathize with him.
Both men were losers.
About the kindest thing that can be said of them. And the uber-fertile FL idiot was no more interesting or worthwhile than they were.
Zero self-esteem combined with zero-self respect. He literally fucked and chucked her because in his eyes she wasn't "princess" material and I think the real reason he got with her in the end was due to survivor's guilt from his Jeff's kamikaze style suicide.
Is it bad that I liked Jeff more than ML?
