so at first i thought that the art depicted her in a love triangle between nora and her eldest stepson but after some thought and a quick reread, (i was bored) i think its depicting her having to choose between what she wants (nora) and what she has a duty to do (the kids) and the eldest sons face basically represents the whole family. or rarher between a life similiar to the previous one or one where she could become happy. she made a promise and lived a life where the kids never accepted her and basically hated her and then she had to live through it all over again. despite having the new oppurtunity that is nora and having a chance at a life in which shed live happily the burden /responsibility that rest on her shoulders is more important to her than her own happiness and thats probably why she was given another chance at life where she could find all these things without compromising the other. or.... im just over thinking and the eldest son probably actually has a lil crush on her, who knows ╮( ̄▽ ̄)╭

so the cover art is of shuli, nora and the eldest son. and it seems kinda weird to me (despite them not being related) but he obviously doesnt see her as a mother figure. i think hes gonna start having feelimgs for her. obviously shuli is gonna end up with nora (after she fulfils her duty to the kids because thats her first priority) because besides them liking each other, the repercussions of her marrying her dead husbands son are unimaginable. meanwhile im kinda also shipping the second son (red head) with the first sons future fiance. they have a nice dynamic as seen in the previous chapters. also idk how this works but her marrying the secind son of the duke wouldnt be any different tham marrying the first would it? and its cute even tho i kinda have a feeling that thats not gonna happen i still like it.
huh some great developments here (▰˘◡˘▰) and then that sad/happy smirk at the end, WHAT WAS THAT?!?!
