If you don't wanna pressure her into it, then why tf did you do that?? LMAO to test her??? she's clearly ready as fuck tho so idk if the message went through to his head.
He just associates her actions as her "not seeing him as a man" instead of how she's clearly getting used to him and becoming more comfortable/ready in the relationship man .
Hate to be a bummer reader here, but the set-up of him being a 'kind' character that 'puts people before him' is so hard to wrap my head around when he wants to forcibly put the girl in a marriage and tie her down by his handsome friend regardless of what she says LMAOO (even worse when allegedly he was planning to rape and impregnate her with his initial plan in the novel as said by one of the previous commenters).
Just EUGHHH baby it's a no for me . Although, I do really love his character design and it's nice for a self-insert if that appeals to certain people. It's a cute read albeit he's weird as fuck I'm ngl.
STOP I DONT WANT THIS TO END YETTT IM NOT READY FUCK
