"Hate you if you give up on me, hate you too if you don't..." Dear ML, dude, it's one thing to do stupid things bc you're inlove, and another to have these drastic mood swings... And the mc's one of those people still willing to follow someone's rollercoaster pace, so OF COURSE you'd come to like him. But, pick ONE mood already... or take your meds, or sth.
Chloe is starting to sound Mary Sue-ish... The 12-year-old baby cousin is smarter indeed.
I mean, even some random wizard woman stops to say "I don't like anyone, but I like this woman." Ok, author. We geeeeeet it already. "Chloe is so lovable, that everyone just looooves Chloe"... No need to keep heavily-handedly pushing the message down us readers' throats. It's starting to get irritating.
So, to sum up:
- Some incident happened 10 years ago that the FL forgot the full details about, which the ML and her brother do remember. Apparently, it was something serious and both the brother and ML were somehow involved, since the brother does know about it too and doesn't want the FL to remember the full details, thinking the only reason she'd ditch them for the ML is if she had finally remembered them.
- And while her grandpa was nice and supportive of her, her late father was an abusive trash who got a 2nd wife, the horrid sister's mother (BTW, is their brother from the same mother as the FL, or not? That's not very clear)
...So... any theories about what could've been the "incident"?
Perhaps she showed musical talent since young, and her brother had already tried to pass her musical scores as his own by killing her, but the ML prevented it?
So let me get this straight..... her bro hinted that the FL was not their father's biological child? (Their mom got knocked up by the enemy while playing spy?) The fianceƩ reminds the ML of her (maybe they're biological sisters?). The ML's grandfather caused his family to lose their title (any chance the FL's 'believed' father was related to him?) ...Man, if even half of this turns out to be it, this story will be so (much more) f**ed up.
Lol well played, REALLY well played!!
