Ohhhh, that explains why is he treating her like that
This is one if the best endings period!! Oh my god!! I was hoping, but I didn't believe the author would do this!! Oh. My. Goddddd
DID I SKIP SOMETHING?? HUH???
At first, I was baffled, but the more I read, the more logical everything seemed. They never were the normal couple, although I was genuinely hoping they would be crazy, but together till the end. But this outcome is logical. Wow... Suddenly reminded me of Rose and Guinness from The Pale Horse. Not that the dynamic is the same, but the bitterness after the realisation how wrong everything went..
These type of stories are soo good but they hurt
YESSS!!!
It looks like before this decision she wasn't abused in this family? I honestly don't remember. I only remember that Ruby was always pretending because she was afraid of her father and brother.
We are seeing his perspective and in his mind, he never hurt her. He def already was abusing her at this point so she was playing the fawn until she could escape with marriage, only for it never to pan out until she got married to our ML
Yeah, I see it now, you're right.
I wonder if he thought the punishment was form of love as he was told sigh..
Seeing Ruby like this from his pov and knowing how she truly felt, hurtssss
