So im guessing he accepted the offer so he could have power to protect her?? But why take her child away from her?

first, he didn't take the offer cause he cares about FL or wanted to protect her. he wanted the power and was greedy, that mostly it ╮( ̄▽ ̄)╭
second, ML didn't love FL at all in the first timeline, he marries her cause her father forces him/make a deal with him.
and he took the child to abuse her, mostly, since he dislikes her and didn't give a damn about her and he didn't see her as a good parent.
despite he was a force parent than her in any way, shape, or form.
and I don't think she was unstable, she suffers from mental illness but you could tell she loves the child even if she could not touch him! the ML is a dick asshole that got punished by their child in the end, so I say this end fit him.

I agreed with you in the first point but the female lead's past memories were messed up since her mental mindset was bad so in her perspective he was a cold husband who took her child away from her(I read it from someone who knows the spoilers). She is mentally unstable, if she can't hold her child properly then how is she supposed to take care of the child properly. Before he left the mansion for war he decides to let the female lead take care of the child but that black haired girl from the recent chapters was one of the maids(?) Or nanny didn't give the child back to mc so after 10 years when the male lead comes back it was too late. I'm not excusing the ml actions but I'm simply just telling you why he took el away from her

I seen the scene and she does touch him a little, the baby I mean very softly, but it's clear her fear and mental illness from her past have taken over her. not cause she was unstable, but cause her father make her have a mental illness after the abuse and the horrible event she felt, but in that scene, she could still know who her baby was, how much she loves him, and she could touch him just a little! he was her ONLY hope and light in her life!
so no! taking that from someone that suffers from mental illness is the worse shit you can do for someone! and has I said, for that they have nannies.
from what we have seen the ML is the one that out of nowhere order to take her baby away, and no matter what his bitch said, he had no right to do so!!! read this scene again!
and not really, we never saw what would have happened to her if her baby would have stayed with her, she most of the chance will change for the better, for him slowly.
and so what if the ML suffer from abuse of his family?! the opposite, he should have got how she feels the most if that the case and not abuse her and take her baby away like he did no matter how bad of a mother he thinks she is! it still his fault and he pay the price for being a shitty asshole! and I'm not feeling any pitty for him, he got what he asked for!

Do you not understand??? An unstable person can't take care of themselves so how can they take care of another person and that someonelse is a child . From you have seen was the fl perspective, we're starting to get into the mls perspective. If I were the ml I would've taken the child away til the fl gets better except I wouldn't do the shit that he did and I'll let fl visits the child frequently. The ml and fl both were manipulated by her father. The father is the real villain. the ml is an asshole and Im not excusing his behaviors but I'm just explaining why he had taken away the child from her (this time of period not a lot of people doesn't have advanced knowledge about mental illness). Again, I'm not excusing the mls actions but I'm simply explaining why he had taken the child away from her. I hope you don't misunderstand

I disagree she is unstable! again if she was she would not recognize anyone and we saw any part in the story that it happen!
the ML wasn't manipulated, stop looking for excuses for him being a shitty abusive asshole! the father only told him not to love her and ignore her, he never said take her baby away! STOP! and just admit he was an asshole and he did it just to abuse her!
he never had any good reason to take her baby away, just like in this timeline. again it was only his stupid excuse to abuse her.

What are you talking about?? Stop acting like you know about mental illness there's so many forms of people being mentally unstable. It's not even excuses this is literally common sense and you're not taking my words. The ml did get manipulated by her father, her father sent that black haired girl to ruined mcs life. You can go research more about mental illness. We haven't gone through far of the story, I'm not looking for any excuses to defend him in the future when more chapters come out you'll understand why the father is the main villain r
