Copied this from the novel:

Claude was nineteen when he first met Magnolia.
Although they pretended to be guardians, they were actually growing up together with their children as they watched over them.
It had become natural for him to always be by her side, but now that we are about to be separated, she is at a loss as to what to do with her feelings.
Before I knew it, without even realizing it, it had been greatly eroded and replaced with something else.

And this:
Although they are not related by blood, Claude is her uncle, and because of his position, he is probably confused about his own feelings. In reality, he doesn't care about anyone other than her... but this is the conflict that comes with being a normal person.
There's also the realistic age difference.
The two of them are probably the opposite of each other in terms of age, but no matter how you look at it, their appearances are very different.
After all, when he first met her she was just a toddler, and Claude, who doesn't have any special hobbies or tastes, must have only thought of her as a "cute little child" until recently.
Because of what is inside, Servais and Claude are children but not children, and they have respected Magnolia's wishes.
This girl, whom he had treated as a full-fledged adult in a sense, is approaching adulthood, and he must be extremely confused.
He must have had feelings for her for a long time, both as a niece and as a stranger... as a person.

This is just my personal opinion but I feel like this is going in a more boring plot direction than expected from the start; like I understand MC wants to regain his former status and be at the top again but to easily agree with being adopted after growing up with your new parents kinda feels like a betrayal.
Especially if the family your getting adopted into is still fucking trashy, cheating parents, dads mistress is apart of your agency, and terrible siblings.
I feel like if this was irl the media would have a great time calling his parents deadbeats who sold their kid to a CEO for money.
Idk I went in expecting MC to want to live a new life where his parents love him and he can still live comfortably (parents get rich off stocks, definitely enough to be comfy). But instead he used his new life as a way to get back to his old life, which is boring to me. ╮( ̄▽ ̄)╭

And kinda sad like, zero hesitation on hiw his current family might feel. I feel this is more to do with Korean culture, the main character mixes what he thinks to be love of first family when really he just misses his status and I feel like the writer kinda looks down on his current parents beacuse of cultural pov.
He put his whole BACK into that thrust!
