I honestly don't like that he neglected her in the past and am not 100% convinced that his actions are justified. But I think it's worth it for them to have another go since he is not forcing her to forgive him or expecting anything from her (=・ω・=)
He made seriously bad judgment calls and choices in the past. His hands were, in a way, tied, but he still caused immense suffering. From my POV he paid for it and is doing his best to currently make amends. He has a long way to go before he earns the Duchess’s trust and love but the important thing is he recognizes he’s mistakes and suffering he cause and is working toward a better future. Really that’s all we can ask of each other.
He made every shitty decision possible but in his defense he was being threatened. Fuckface over there (MC Dad) threatened both her and his son. He had to ignore them or actively hurt her to stop the dad from doing worse. Was it a good choice? Not really but worried/scared people don't always make good choices.
Saw some spoilers that she goes back to him even though he's a dick and others saying he was justified.
Is this story worth it tho? I'm in chapter 1 still Excited for the plot but want to know if homegirl doesn't suffer (a lot lol)
