legitimately no reason to run away considering they were already married. that shit came off as attention seeking not to mention he stole the guy's baby...it would make more sense if the seme dude was stringing him along and saying he didn't want to become a pair w/o being married but he married him, disavowed not only that lunatic piece of shit brother, but also his evil family. what more do you want? the uke is awful for taking the baby away. low self esteem is not enough for a character to be forgiven for some heinous shit like that. that was weird

Hmm well you would have to understand from the omegas pov. In his eyes it just seemed like alpha was pitying him. They might be married but that was to help the omega after he had intercourse with him. Plus he’s used to the thought of “I’m just an omega. It’s ok if I get hurt and abused” shit and believes that being with the alpha is too good to be true and stuff. Omega bottom isn’t the only one. Many other omegas are treated like shit. Honestly should read and understand the story first. Would maybe help u understand better. Although I don’t really understand why he left tbh because I’ve never experienced what the bottom has experienced and stuff but I can imagine some what and try to be in his shoe to see what he would probably feel like.

Idk. It’s his baby too. He probably didn’t want the top to have to deal with things. He was already considering divorcing the top. Probably has to do with how the top refuses to admit himself as an alpha and the omega felt like the top was just pitying him and didn’t want to bind the top cuz of marriage and stuff and want him to be happy or smth.
Plus there are many people (irl) and other stories where the characters hide away with their baby too not just this one.
My low intelligence not helping rn☠

There's understanding and there's being blind to wrong. I read and was sympathetic to the omega's low self esteem and battered syndrome but stealing someone's child is another thing. It is wrong to keep things to yourself when the person who is working with you to fix things is doing their best. There's a right way to do things and a wrong way, there's an endless amount of factors for why he did what he did, but at the end of the day it was wrong to throw away/misuse/ignore his husband's kindness, especially by going to his estranged brother for help. It all ended well because they loved each other in the end, but the fact is what he did was take the guy's kid and ignored the husband's feelings, which are just as important as his.

to be fair—remember how their relationship started out? there’s no way of knowing whether or not his “kindness” actually meant something. you only have the privilege of labeling it as kindness because we the readers have looked into his head. for someone who was subject to manipulation via false kindness, it doesn’t make a lot of sense to trust ML wholeheartedly again

False kindness, or having distrust in people, is one thing, but the ML was actively making strides for them to have a healthy relationship. I'm not saying he was wrong for not feeling secure in his relationship, it's the way he went about it that was wrong. That's like saying all short ppl are elves just bc their short and celebrate winter holidays. No, they're elves bc they wrap presents and worship Santa. Lol He was wrong for taking their kid and I believe it was attention seeking, or more specifically that he wanted the husband to prove he was legit-even tho he'd already done a lot- bc he didn't consider talking with the husband who, if I'm remembering correctly was fairly nice. It's been a while since I read this and honestly not interested in going back to read it, so it is what it is. Cheers

i’m very confused by your analogy and how you thought it related to the topic at hand. we know that it wasn’t attention-seeking behavior because we knew exactly what these characters were thinking at any given time. i don’t particularly understand the need to write your personal projections onto a narrative that’s very explicit with these characters’ true intentions

i mean, again, the ML acting nice and supportive and going great lengths for MC was exactly what landed him in this mess to begin with. i truthfully don’t think you have a very strong grasp on how trust works, because trying to earn trust back is not the equivalent of earning it back. it’s important to remember, for your future relationships (as i’m assuming you’re quite young), that strong efforts don’t automatically mean that you’re entitled to your place in the other person’s life, or vice versa.

You've lost the whole plot bruh. I don't even know what you're talking about...as I said and clearly from the date the first comment was posted it's been awhile since I read this manga. I misinterpreted what you said as the omega making assumptions about his husband being an alpha- which if you understood the joke, I was saying is not okay. Maybe take your own advice and don't make assumptions about a person bc you didn't understand their joke. Also what false kindness are you talking about. They both lost their inhibitions in the first chapter except because he is different from all the other guys the omega has been with, he made strides to build a relationship with the omega, after getting married. The omega acknowledges that he's different, that he's nice, that he's trying to make their marriage work. Also all throughout the manga, bc this is a manga not a manhwa, the alpha makes his thoughts known even going as far as sharing his trauma with pairing with omega's bc of his family, who he's ESTRANGED from. Instead of sharing his feelings with his husband, like his husband has been doing, he runs away with their kid to his husband's ESTRANGED brother. In the following comments I made, I said it was wrong that he ran away with their kid and that the way he went about the situation was wrong. He was wrong to do that, not that he's a bad person for how he feels or what he went through. Also at the point he ran away bc his HUSBAND was supposedly pitying him, his husband had already said that he wanted him. At some point it becomes he's just hearing what he wants to hear, and to make matters worse he takes their baby and takes money from the brother who his husband is estranged from. He ran away bc he wanted him to flat out say be my mate, even though, the HUSBAND who doted on him constantly had shared his trauma about mates, so yes to ME it's attention seeking. KANPAI bc I'm messy lol

imma need the parents to step up when this old man is handling their daughter and telling her who she should have affections for...that shit was so weird, and they added all those frilly effects around him to make it look warm and cute. somebody get this old man together and tell him to stop talking about adult things to a baby no less

how bout you explain how things worked back then and then tell me how that would matter in how it's not weird for an old man to pick up someone's BABY child and tell them to have affection for their grandson- whose not a toddler. to begin with the idea of using children as bargaining chips is weird so die on that hill if you want to

Idk, I’m not sure that’s how he meant it. If you only see the negative in everything you might miss the chance to see other possibilities. Such as the grandfather hoping his son could find and maintain a friend with who he could truly be himself with. I understand you could bring up that maybe he could have said it to her brother, but so far the story has put a focus on the two learning how to open up with each other’s friends and family, which they had issues doing before. Looking at it from that pov, and seeing how the story development hasn’t allowed any of that kind of thinking mainly bc they’re literal BABIES, I’m more than sure that that wasn’t what that was meant to be, and that you may need to slow your roll. Respectfully, ofc

i was addressing the old man picking up the baby and telling her to like his grandson who is not a BABY. there are many ways to look at it, but i just found it odd that the old man kept picking up the BABY. it's not negative to point out something that was weird considering it was done multiple times. Civilly, ofc i'm sorry i'm just being messy that's a good point

Sorry to butt in but I'd like to add that the family seems very close to him and seemed to watch over them when he first met the baby and she seemed (to them) happy to interact with him.
It's normal for you to have family or family friends come and be affectionate with your kids. I mean it's not like he said I want you two to get married or even propose that idea to the parents. He just said I hope you two like one another. Considering how lonely his grandson is due to his position I'm sure he just want more (good) ppl to support his grandson and to have her be his friend.

I think it's about how it's translated. The grandpa was hoping for her to like Mikhail so that he would be taken in as a playmate. Like are y'all actually reading it properly? Literally the grandpa said no one would take him even as a playmate and he's hoping that she likes him enough so that he has somewhere to stay. Like girl, your mind is weird better get that checked up.

The fact that the first thing you assumed was something weird because of the word "affection" is defo weird. Girl you're the weird one here because never had I even thought of it of both child being forced to marry. Like are you actually reading? Did you actually not see the panels that once the older children of the duke would take in playmates there is a possibility Mikhail would be left out and the grandpa was just asking the baby that he was hoping for Mikhail to be her playmate. Christ, your implications and your way of thinking makes my skin crawl

Why i felt like you never actually had adult talk and wished upon you as a kid...?
Why being so mad when an old man picked up a baby and wished she get along with his grandson become a problem? "Affection" doesn't always meant love even if the manwha suggested so.
I get that a lot as a kid especially from parents and grandparents whose kid never close with anyone...
Try to look things more positively, your mind will be a lot lighter as it supposed to be.
Or try to look at problem bigger than a manwha =v=

no your defo weird bc my issue is still the same that the old man kept picking up the little baby ya dumb small minded jerk. i didn't bring up that they were going to be forced to marry that was another comment. also this webtoon will lead to romance so no it's not out of left field to assume what he's referring to is them being partners in the future. stop trying to butt into a convo that was already finished GIRL and learn how talk without being bitchy

I mean the gramps is very close to the family. What’s weird in that? If you are weirded by how gramps always ask to pick up/hold the baby then why aren’t you weirded out when the mother kissed Mikhail’s cheeks even though he isn’t her son? I have kids and family friends who have older/younger kids always say these sorts of things. To get along with their kids, be close to them, heck they even joke to have their kids marry each other.
People here are already shutting off what you have misinterpreted. It wouldn’t hurt to be open minded and accept that you have just misunderstood gramps’ affection or what he said to the baby.

wooow we got a mental health professional over here. I welcome disagreement. minds change when people disagree. u; creepy crawly, mentioned ur skin crawling; I can't do anything for you. i didn't start this argument but i love a good trading of words. maybe you need help with how quick u are to anger over disagreeing with someone. deflecting is not acknowledging that this convo ended a few comments ago without u in it.

Just shut up already. You should be the one to read the previous comments because you're not making any sense ngl. If you haven't experienced any affection from distant relatives who wanted to be closer with your family, just shut up. Try to broaden your views instead of making baseless assumptions of people. STOP PROJECTING.

How stupid of you to criticize some certain panels without proper context? Very. Remember, this is fiction. The author WILL and ALWAYS WILL give proper context to certain situations on the story that helps make the story more understandable, not weird. Heck, they even issue WARNINGS before each chapter so that the viewers would know what is to come and not make it weird.

ooohhhh someone's heated. a bit too heated to say anything of substance, cool off and find out what's really bothering you. my love, what is there to project? were talking about a comic and I don't know you. if it doesn't sound like it makes sense, i guess maybe go n read the comments made by other ppl before you who agreed with you. nothing was gained by you commenting this and everything was already said before you. begone. u sound angry and lame. if not I'll be here in your mind condo 666 come a knockin

sweetie pie that's fine! I'm not arguing that anybody is wrong at this point y'all are more angry about a passive comment I made than I am about any little side remarks y'all have made. I've been agreed with a sane person, you all are just angry and that's okay but I love to feed the flames of ppl who name call.
I get that it's to move the story forward, but I wonder if the guy would have the same reaction if she was the king and had to push forward with whatever they were doing. Would he describe her as a stoic leader who's strong in the face of tragedy........I just love an ice queen(づ ̄ ³ ̄)づ
I think that’s exactly why he had that reaction.
If the King’s father died, the next King need to be strong to inherit the title suddenly. To take care the job asap. The same with any Dukedom or County, the heir (whichever gender) need to stand straight to take care of whatever their father left behind.
It’s a bit different with Queen/Empress. It’s not even the former Empress who died. Harshly speaking, he’s a stranger if we talking about work and responsibility. She doesn’t have to pretend to be strong in the face of tragedy.
And I think what makes her more terrifying was because she talked about “Angenas Works,” not the Empire related thingy. She ain’t worried about the balance in Duke power or something.
It was more like, she ain’t the heir of Angenas, why is this job more important than her own father death?
I’m not saying she is the worst. Actually I agree with the commenter after you, this woman really coolheaded, excellent and ruthless leader. She’d do much better becoming the Duchess (as in house head) rather than Empress. I bet Dullac Lombardi would have his best rivalry-match with her than her father.
