How can Ashley teach it when he no longer feels emotions? Ashley did try everything though. Took him to every hospital and Doctors there is. It was disappointment after disappointment. It was like getting their hopes up only for it to come crashing down. So when they learned that Greyson is starting to feel tor Dane at first Ashley doesn’t want to get his hopes up again for his only child who still has no partner to control him with. But then when he learned it was true he assigned guards for Dane because amongst his children only Greyson has the closest possibility of going down Dominic route.
But that is my point. He failed Grayson because of his own emotional ineptitude. He projected his owns flaws onto his son without even trying. Not to mention Ashley feels enough that he clearly loves Koi and dotes on Bliss, so what's stopping him from trying to get to know his children? He even admits in this novel that he never had a conversation with Grayson. NOT EVEN A CONVERSATION. The communication was non existant, so how could he so condifently deduce that Grayson was doomed and only other people external to the family would be able to fix him? That excuse of 'oh well he took him to every doctor and psychologist' doesn't work because that is like a parent throwing money at a problem expecting that will magically fix whatever is wrong. Clearly none of that worked, not one of those doctors truly helped Grayson the way he needed. And on top of that Ashley threw him into the arms of that freaky ass doctor to be a guinea pig. Also, it's precisely because Ashley is a dominant alpha and Grayson's father that Ashley was in the best position to be a role model for Grayson and help him. But no. He did everything but try to connect with his own child. To be so uncurious about your sons is crazy. And I get that people love Ashley and Koi as a couple, but it's undeniable that they did everything wrong as parents.
Ashley is accumulating L's. Bro, the fact that he can't read emotions doesn't mean he does not feel them, my guy. Rather than just learning to emulate emotion, wouldn't it have been better to, I don't know, teach him about what emotions are in the first place? What triggers them? Helping him understand emotions by understanding his own first? But I guess that is too much to ask of someone who is also emotionally stunted.
Also, lmao at Grayson. He is really out here thinking he is a master at reading people when this dude cannot even tell when others are literally planning his downfall and wishing him death behind a smile, much less understand that Dane pitied/felt bad for him. The delusion is strong in this one. I do love my dumb maniac puppies.
P.S.: NICE TITTIES DANE.
