I learned the hard way from other stories that readers simply forget events from previous chapters, to the point they forget entire prior plot points. I DO REMEMBER though, and there's been NOTHING but chemistry and development between these two, since day one. Moreover, the mc being an orphan RELATED to orphaned ML from day one, if anything was forced then it was how she tried so hard to come to understand the other two, with whom she had NOTHING in common.

I agree with the comment above. The guy, yep we understand i mean he's blushing everywhere and plus the DNA revelation? He's fallen. But for Sera? That I love you part? Uhhh no... We saw her POV, and it looked like she's not fallen to him that hard yet then boom I love you on the latest chap. It feels rushed really
it doesn't feel forced!!! y'all just want romances that struck like lightning and doesn't want a love that gently settles in. how about y'all find that kind of love in real life and see if it lasts long?
