Oh man, I didn't expect to cry for this part right now. I read this part of the novel just a week ago; it did get me then, but reading this with the art. Oh man, I feel sad for Penelope and the Duke. They were just trying to do their best, but they have been missing each other for so long. I am glad the Duke was finally honest.
Loved the revenge, but I don’t like the that the Duke is purposefully not communicating to his wife. Idk what happened, but if he remembers and did research on her and what happened, then he should understand why she can’t remember. It’s selfish and unloving to force her to remember on her own or make her remember when it is related to a ginormous trauma.
But i mean she never said anything to her husband either, just go forward to her revege and investigating on her own meanwhile the husband, knowing these only support her from the background. Its not selfish to let her proccess her own grieve and revenge on her pace rather than forcing the information on her.
Yeah I agree with their, I think it's fair that he let her process whatever she needed to process on her own and gave her space. He knew that she had things he didn't fully understand and didn't want to pile his trauma on top of it (because of he told her about the past he would've also had to tell her about his own family being murdered).
i think if he had told her that would have overwhelmed her and it harder for her to process things it is her families death after all
If he is letting her process at her own pace, then that is good, but the problem is that he is implying that it is her fault for forgetting him and that she needs to remember on her own to make it right with him.
Agreed, it would be bad if he told her. Still, the fact he didn't realize that maybe she forgot him because of the trauma (he knows about) is a little silly, and the fact he blames her for forgetting him and forcing her to take responsibility by figuring out on her own and thereby remember trauma her body made her forget doesn't sound good either.
