How you blaming old head. This man has no excuses left because he could have turned out to be a dumb ml but this man is smart enough to know it was his father as well as the fact that Madonna over there is lying. For cheesy stories like this, they usually have the male lead be arrogant or blinded by lust etc. but this man is smart and still does what he does. People act like this IRL; it goes to show that knowing doesn't make the difference.
On chapter 2 and had to come and look at the comments, turns out my intuition wasn't wrong for thinking that she'd just forgive him and that this is just a do-over for him.
