It seems like a misunderstanding. Remember the afair part was always assumed by the fl and the only person that confirmed it was the “saintess” more than likely it was a lie
If you want a spoiler, read this, if you don’t, then don’t, lol

He has a condition and his father went through it to. Herdin doesn’t want to kill his wife because if he falls in love with her he could kill her so to keep her at bay while he’s trying to cure himself (essentially) he stages an affair. He is very much so in love with her though. Has been. He is also the one who reversed time and let her keep his memories intact. The child also did not die.
From what I have read people posting this is subjective so I’m not sure it’s entirely factual. I do know he loves her and that the affair was only bc he doesn’t want to hurt her.
Is the ML red flag or is it just one big terrible misunderstanding?
