how bout you explain how things worked back then and then tell me how that would matter in how it's not weird for an old man to pick up someone's BABY child and tell them to have affection for their grandson- whose not a toddler. to begin with the idea of using children as bargaining chips is weird so die on that hill if you want to

Idk, I’m not sure that’s how he meant it. If you only see the negative in everything you might miss the chance to see other possibilities. Such as the grandfather hoping his son could find and maintain a friend with who he could truly be himself with. I understand you could bring up that maybe he could have said it to her brother, but so far the story has put a focus on the two learning how to open up with each other’s friends and family, which they had issues doing before. Looking at it from that pov, and seeing how the story development hasn’t allowed any of that kind of thinking mainly bc they’re literal BABIES, I’m more than sure that that wasn’t what that was meant to be, and that you may need to slow your roll. Respectfully, ofc

i was addressing the old man picking up the baby and telling her to like his grandson who is not a BABY. there are many ways to look at it, but i just found it odd that the old man kept picking up the BABY. it's not negative to point out something that was weird considering it was done multiple times. Civilly, ofc i'm sorry i'm just being messy that's a good point

Sorry to butt in but I'd like to add that the family seems very close to him and seemed to watch over them when he first met the baby and she seemed (to them) happy to interact with him.
It's normal for you to have family or family friends come and be affectionate with your kids. I mean it's not like he said I want you two to get married or even propose that idea to the parents. He just said I hope you two like one another. Considering how lonely his grandson is due to his position I'm sure he just want more (good) ppl to support his grandson and to have her be his friend.

I think it's about how it's translated. The grandpa was hoping for her to like Mikhail so that he would be taken in as a playmate. Like are y'all actually reading it properly? Literally the grandpa said no one would take him even as a playmate and he's hoping that she likes him enough so that he has somewhere to stay. Like girl, your mind is weird better get that checked up.

The fact that the first thing you assumed was something weird because of the word "affection" is defo weird. Girl you're the weird one here because never had I even thought of it of both child being forced to marry. Like are you actually reading? Did you actually not see the panels that once the older children of the duke would take in playmates there is a possibility Mikhail would be left out and the grandpa was just asking the baby that he was hoping for Mikhail to be her playmate. Christ, your implications and your way of thinking makes my skin crawl

Why i felt like you never actually had adult talk and wished upon you as a kid...?
Why being so mad when an old man picked up a baby and wished she get along with his grandson become a problem? "Affection" doesn't always meant love even if the manwha suggested so.
I get that a lot as a kid especially from parents and grandparents whose kid never close with anyone...
Try to look things more positively, your mind will be a lot lighter as it supposed to be.
Or try to look at problem bigger than a manwha =v=

no your defo weird bc my issue is still the same that the old man kept picking up the little baby ya dumb small minded jerk. i didn't bring up that they were going to be forced to marry that was another comment. also this webtoon will lead to romance so no it's not out of left field to assume what he's referring to is them being partners in the future. stop trying to butt into a convo that was already finished GIRL and learn how talk without being bitchy

I mean the gramps is very close to the family. What’s weird in that? If you are weirded by how gramps always ask to pick up/hold the baby then why aren’t you weirded out when the mother kissed Mikhail’s cheeks even though he isn’t her son? I have kids and family friends who have older/younger kids always say these sorts of things. To get along with their kids, be close to them, heck they even joke to have their kids marry each other.
People here are already shutting off what you have misinterpreted. It wouldn’t hurt to be open minded and accept that you have just misunderstood gramps’ affection or what he said to the baby.

wooow we got a mental health professional over here. I welcome disagreement. minds change when people disagree. u; creepy crawly, mentioned ur skin crawling; I can't do anything for you. i didn't start this argument but i love a good trading of words. maybe you need help with how quick u are to anger over disagreeing with someone. deflecting is not acknowledging that this convo ended a few comments ago without u in it.

Just shut up already. You should be the one to read the previous comments because you're not making any sense ngl. If you haven't experienced any affection from distant relatives who wanted to be closer with your family, just shut up. Try to broaden your views instead of making baseless assumptions of people. STOP PROJECTING.
imma need the parents to step up when this old man is handling their daughter and telling her who she should have affections for...that shit was so weird, and they added all those frilly effects around him to make it look warm and cute. somebody get this old man together and tell him to stop talking about adult things to a baby no less
