i mean ml is literally crazy like he knew a literal stranger knows her just bc the guy was buying her favourite macarons even if we readers find her dumb her reasoning to accept him is really valid bc no matter where she goes he will always find her and she didn't want to drag anyone else into her matter too especially gale
As I have said... If the story tells you that you must live with a guy like that, at least don't make it look that he's a lovable and super kind type of guy.
You will end up trapped the rest of your life with a husband who is a psychopath, killer, and you will have a son (a victim, of course)... Let me have my life, don't come near me, let's be happy in front of the kid and near the neighbours but that's all :)

sorry but she folded under zero pressure, during his absence i would try to change the location or something
