I'm 100% agree with you.
I also think that Pereshati was pushing it a little too much here. I'm pretty sure it's not everyone's intention to keep her in the dark and certainly not Theo's intention. It's just a very difficult matter to talk about and I'm sure Theo is somehow still gathering his thought on how to talk to Pereshati about it.
Instead of pushing Celphi's biological mom to talk to her, I think it's more logical for Pereshati to slowly let Theo uncovering about Harari's story in his own pace. I mean Theo loves Pereshati so much, he won't do anything selfish to her like what Harari implied. Pereshati should know this by now and trust Theo a little more.
You're right about this whole plot makes it feel like we're back on square one again. Hopefully they'll solve this matter in the next chapter haha
A lot of people are angry about her not being informed about practically everything but that's impossible to do even when it's just two people, you want her informed on all the issues and affairs of an entire noble family? And even if she's not informed right away, it's okay for people to first gather their thoughts and then communicate. I understand people can find this irritating but you guys are judging Theo while at the same time claiming Pereshati deserves to know because she's already part of the family and know how things work. If she knows, then why doesn't she know he takes some time before being ready and that it's difficult for him? Why does she still barge into places without knowing things and then gets angry? Like, I understand she wants to know where she is and where she's standing, and I could side with her early on. But at this point she's just being pushy(? Not to mention she's projecting her issues into a woman who has not once expressed any concern for Celphi. She's just now realising she's not the same as that woman. Something that was glaringly obvious from the very beginning, starting with their socioeconomic positions outside marrying into the Lapileons.
I feel like this plot lost the ball. It added nothing to the main story, it yet again brought miscommunication and misunderstanding to the table, all while reverting the painstaking development Theo and Pereshati had and somehow making Pereshati take every wrong decision regarding this issue, when she was the one most apt to deal with social/heart issues.
