I hate it when the ML blackmails the FL in order to get his way. That happens far too often in harlequins.
Also in this "Will it be marriage or an arbitration?"
I would tell him that people like him disgust me and that he should be ashamed!!
And readers keep saying that the woman is ALWAYS wrong not to tell the father about the child. I think that 90% of the Harlequin MLs I’ve read about give more than sufficient reason for doing that, and immediately blackmailing her with threatening to take her child away I would count as an excellent reason for never ever trusting this cad again. Also, like this dwerp, even though they’ve got this boo hoo background, they’re about as sensitive to a troubled pregnant woman’s emotions and worries as a polar bear is to a mother seal’s angst. It’s as though empathy is completely and utterly foreign to their natures.
I really struggled with this harlequin and I definitely won't read it a second time. The very idea of how the FL must have suffered in the first few years of marriage makes me sick... His mother is the worst - putting the FL under such pressure after she has miscarried is absolutely inhuman and unforgivable. And how could the ML allow all this, not protect his wife from that and not even tell her in 5 years that he loves her? Argh, it makes me sooo angry!
After reading chapter 45, I honestly find myself in a major conflict with the Empress. I found her behavior towards her daughter quite unbearable even before she returned, but now I find it unforgivable. In my opinion, she doesn't deserve Lyrica's love. No matter how much she regrets it, it doesn't change the fact that she did that all to her own child!! I can hardly imagine how much Lyrica must have suffered..
Whew, I thought I was the only one tbh but yeah I totally agree, after getting a peek of her pov i honestly don't know how to feel, like even here crying pissed me off
