Did you think he was harsh? It didn't seem like that to me. I mean he was the same with Adele at the beginning. Treating her like a subordinate instead of a daughter. But because Adele took the 1st step , he started reciprocating. I felt like that. Blake and the Duke met for the 1st time in 6 yrs. Obviously it would take time for them both to open up to each other.
Adele is not the duke's blood daughter right? She is also adopted, so the vastly different treatment that the adopted son is getting is kind of bothering me. I absolutely adore Adele and she definitely deserves to be treated like the adorable princess that she is, but the difference in treatment is bothering me a little. I meant, the brother lost his parents and all of a sudden is thrust into the role of heir. I just feel a little sorry for him and I don't like how the duke is treating him.
