and honestly yeah, both mc and duke have made poor choices and are quite desperate in their own situations. the mc is desperate to mend the bond between the duke and his son but in the process she ended up being insensitive towards him. not knowing hsi issue is one thing but not really trying hard to find out and just saying “i don’t know your circumstances and i don’t care what it is” despite it all is still a wrong thing to say. i can imagine that when she found out, she’ll definitely beat herself up for being insensitive. the duke is desperate to run away from his trauma that he emotionally neglected his son too. it’s not easy to heal from his trauma but running away from it won’t help, it’ll just keep eating away at him bit by bit. both are wrong but i mean, both are human so this is a very realistic scenario
