He also married Abigail because Abigail's brother or a TOO OLD FOR BLANCHE OR POLITICAL MARRIAGE
was to marry Blanche but he ended up doing so to protect her. If I remember correctly in the novel
He doesn't hate her he just wants Blanche to be strong enough so she doesn't suffer like he did
If you want more spoilers go to my personal messages in wattpad MsCrazy0815
I'm glad that he told her, atleast the misunderstanding is clear now. I hope he'll slowly be healed and have a good relationship with her and Blanche(=・ω・=)
