Putting societal issues aside, this has been full of contradictory stuff.
Mom abandons little boy? It's a misunderstanding to protect him. (And it wasn't resolved - nope. And I don't think it's a matter of "they can't do anything about it - bwcause the Asahinas are pretty powerful by their own right, and what's the loss of one particular omega when they have so many? Just how many babies must she have for them to be satisfied? And it's all brushed under "peace" and that " she is happy in her own way, she's probably okay with all this.")
Dad of Asahina Reiji is terrible for only wanting an omega to birth an alpha heir and doesn't mind shady dealings, but he's actually happy to see his son married to the person he likes in spite of the means.
Guy with a past with Asahina Reiji causes a big amount of trouble but it turns out he just had a small fight with his current lover.
Kisaragi Akito is rather upset with Asahina Reiji having a potential past of sleeping with someone else before meeting him, but he has a similar past. Even if he needed to do it to survive + being abandoned, it's still similar.
And yes, afterwards, the classic no-communication thing appears. Can't he at least talk to Reiji first? With the way he ran away with just a few words without any explanation, it's a good thing that in the last part, he didn't run away due to some weird misunderstanding again and fought for their happiness.
The premise is a little commonplace of pitiful guy x rich handsome dude, but the stuff Akito gets into, as well as some of his sentiments (what kind of excuse is "I didn't tell you I was married because I wanted us to be friends?" It's another matter if he was trying to figure out the identity of the husband, but...) is a little tiring to read. I don't hate it, but I'm not particular into it and all feelings of sweetness are overwhelmed.

It can be cute and fluffy, but it can also be tiring and somewhat frustrating.
