The contrast with the loving, wholesome moments to the dark, sinister secrets in the basement was amazing. It's sad to know how Ms. Connie sacrified her love and life. Hope she finds her peace with it. I know she probably doesn't regret staying but if she could be happier then it would be great.

I gotta read again cause I forgot these peeps now like WTF IS THIS SPOILER EH EHHHHHH?! WHAT DO YOU MEAN SPERM DONOR LIKE AHHHHHHHHHHH
anyways,
Will this be revealed for a long time?
Or like are we getting near this since I think Leo's growing further as the chapters continues so maybe she'll be a grown up soon

More spoilers ahead
Are u sure u wanna know?
Go on
The spoilers called him sperm donor cause he didn’t act as father at all.. actually he and ms connie both killed regina because ms connie is in love with that sperm donor (redhead guy).. and was jealous of regina.. the redhead guy also can be considered as pedo cause he aimed for young girls (below 18) remember at the banquet where we were told that he’s gonna get engaged with ML’s future wife’s younger sister.. she’s 17.. regina was below 18 too if I’m not mistaken..
so yeah.. I’ve read the spoilers in another reading website

At least we know why Sophia didn't accept his advances. From start to end, he's selfish. People might try to argue that perhaps he's just lying to make things easier. But a sincere heart wins everything. He might love Sophia but that love is not pure nor unconditional. How can you love a person but not care for the child you've had with her. How can you keep secrets from her, even about the person she held dear most.

so the princess's plan to pretend she was pregnant with the Duke's baby, Sophia was in on it. She also knows that the Duke is "hiding" that deal from her, but she either doesn't care enough or finds it funny so she doesn't bother telling him (been a bit since i read this so can't remember for which reason).
this means that for Sophia her loyalty/friendship for the Princess (that extended to the princess's baby) is way more important to her than the duke or her son. She willingly sidelined her son for the princess's baby knowing he wasn't the duke's child.
remember the the ML was always the unfavored child growing up...princess's baby got spoiled rotten/pampered.
Both the Duke and Sophia's choice/reason of choosing an heir just showed how unfit there to be parents due to them prioritizing their "loves/friendships"
I get that it's their duty to protect the cup from falling into the wrong hands but.... Still he was your son who you've raised. He's a good for nothing playboy but I don't think he was that bad yet if he was guided and disciplined. (maybe?) He's not blood but feelings should have been there. Damn dude is cruel and heartless.
Actually. The duke only cares about the duchess, Jonas was planning to kill her (sorry my bad english)
Wdym Jonas was planning to kill her?? Have u read the novel?
