Honestly it is understandable that the ML would be thrown off by the sudden info. Of course, the ideal reaction would always be “idc I’ll gladly take over as stepfather!” But realistically many ppl wouldn’t want to do that. I know tons of women who also wouldn’t want to be a stepmother. It’s also not great when the person you’re going to be dating hides the fact they have a kid. That’s happened to some girls where they meet this new guy and then find out he lied about not having any kids, and then had to deal with the baby mama issues, etc. There’s also people who don’t want any kids at all. Honestly wanting or not wanting children is a big deal breaker when it comes to pursuing a relationship with a partner.

Anyways him asking for her to be looked into, could help more by finding out what happened after the accident. Since even if he asked the FL and she said so truthfully, she doesn’t know that much info that happened. It would help faster if he decided to look into the situation himself. Also ik ppl are gonna be mad that he decided to not communicate and ask her instead, but ngl she did keep it hidden to everyone she possibly could that she has a child. To some it would sound sus or not a big deal so the reason why she hid the child may seem sus. There’s also those typical other plots where FLs have the ML’s kid and whenever he asks, the FL always says that the kid isn’t theirs. There’s the possibility that if she kept important things hidden, she could always lie more about it. Honestly FL did have a lot of time to just tell him about their kid, but kept putting it off and now the truth came out in a worse situation.
