Yeah like I get that they never had that type of relationship before, kinda skipped dating and went straight to marriage, and he didn't clearly confess his feelings for her but that "for now" should've given it away! I know she got her own issues from the abuse of her family and well the Duke was pushing her away not that long ago so it can be a bit confusing but they both clearly love each other. This could've easily been solved if they just communicated, like he should've told her the whole "I'll love the anxiety out of you" line to her face lol and she should say what she feels and what's stopping her.

I love this story but she’s actually taking the piss with the whole “he might have feeling for me but i shouldn’t think about it too much” like babe he clearly stated that he wanted to marry NOT out of political consideration or something along those lines and when he reached out to touch your face (y’all know those moments in manhwas) she closed her eyes— expecting SOMETHING FROM HIM LIKE A KISS OR WVATEVER (if she thought something bad then I won’t argue) BUT HE TOOK IT WRONG AND DISTANCED HIMSELF SO SHE WONT GET SCARED. And then comes the oblivious shit— I hate it so much and I hate how frequently I see it in manwhas. Like the ml could be eating her out until she’s seeing stars and calling the Almighty, claiming that puss as his own, saying shit like “you’re mine, my wife” what web, and she’d be like “oh he’s just doing it because he’s so nice. I shouldn’t think about it too much.” IM TIRED
