The ML is the reason she needs help. He interfered with her finding the letters plus he'd been watching from a distance when she was being bullied in the first chapter. Highly likely that he was doing the same thing in the previous timeline. He's the only basic 'good person' here. Jeor is a sweetie. He has every right to feel the way he does. And he's not using it to be trashy towards the FL like the ML is using the way he feels to be trashy towards the FL. He's just pointing out some very rational thoughts. He was also the only one the FL treated like trash in the previous life.

How tf are you dimwits mad there's romance IN A ROMANCE BOOK. Also everyone preaching about realistic but mad ml helped... you really think 1 little malnourished girl could get to the east with no help whatsoever knowing her weird ass mother wants her dead? Please be so real rn also the adopted son is annoying asf bitch you were originally a replacement stay in your lane I bet his cousins don't even like him he's so pretentious.
FL mother's 1st daughter is also ugly asf and the dad is so basic
