Then you must be either reading with closed eyes or expecting typical loud and exaggerated love declaration like other MLs.Actions speak louder than words darling.He's all head over heels for her already.Most of the things he's doing right now or the things he let her get away with is because he care abt her and loved her.The chapters showed again and again that he rely on her completely is because his heart trust her before his guarded distrusting nature realize abt it.He can still easily use her as hostage right now.He doesn't know how her family's an asshole to her.But he gave her a choice and openly discuss abt that with her cuz he want to treat her as a true life-partner

Love the FL, still not a fan of the ML. There’s no love there. He’s just cold.
