The past ml was a coward. He didn't want to runaway with the past mc, I can understand that times were different back then and he had to think about his family too, so, it makes sense, but to not say a word to mc and get married like that. Can you imagine the betrayal and confusion? Lover one moment and stranger the next. He didn't have the balls to break up with him,all he did was runaway and look at him being all calm and collected and saying ' I just didn't want to involve you ' Grow an organ, adulterer scum.
Does the Duke have another child with his love interest? Does that make him less attentive to our mc?
Yes and no.
