This manhwa team has a habit of eviscerating or downplaying Cárcel’s side of the story. I’m sure there are readers who don’t realize he’s co-protagonist with Inés. He’s not just the male lead. Anyway, this episode was important for BOTH Carcel and Ines and manhwa cut several of Inés’s important thoughts as she observed Carcel.
Here is an example (direct translation of Korean novel): "Because I never intended to live as your wife in the first place."
The forlorn blue eyes of Cárcel crumbled a little. What struck her in the meantime was that he was hurting while knowing everything. He wasn't falling apart by the unexpected shock of the dream, nor by the sense of betrayal from her. (INES’S THOUGHTS)
"I wasn't going to ever tell you, not because I want you to live with me without knowing, but because you don't even need to know."
It was a wound he was already familiar with, a pain he could foresee. She just couldn't understand it. (INES’S THOUGHTS)
"In the first place, I thought my problem had nothing to do with you. That's the difference between my parents and me who deceived you."
But he knew. How did he know, yet could still love her? (INES’S THOUGHTS)
"I was the one who knew my flaws best, but I wasn't the least bit sorry for you. Because this marriage isn't real anyway."
"Inés."
"I was going to ruin everything from the start. From that early age, looking at the innocent you."
“I know.”
“I…….”
“I know, Inés. Even if you didn’t look so sorry to death.”
“I, Cárcel, I….”
“I know it’s not like that anymore.”
Cárcel’s eyes were stiff, as if he had been hurt. Ironically, as much as he didn’t break down, she belatedly fell apart. Tears that filled up in an instant flowed down endlessly. (INES’S THOUGHTS)
————————
So Ines does realize Carcel knew why she chose him and he also wasn’t shocked by her talk of dreams.
