How?
Why? He wasn’t a cheater, playboy, arrogant, mean and a jerk like most of the other harlequin ML. He didn’t force himself on her, he lov her perused her stayed true to her, calmly talks through things with her, gives her reasonable explanations and never once hid his feelings. I quite like him .... and I like that this comic showed what the ML was thinking because it usually only narrated in the girls POV
Actually, he did force himself on her. No for sex, but he grabbed her and held her after she told him no (that magic word that seems to be meant to spur males on) and kissed her. Until almost the end, he only seemed to want nothing but sex, and even intimated that to her. Her friends and family were his enablers. Her best friend spiked her drink and got her drunk, before she even knew who was going to win the auction. Her sister conspired with him to basically kidnap her to go on vacation with him. He didn't tell her he loved her until the end. He just kept saying that he "bought" her. About as romantic as a cat box. Yes, the ending was all true love forever, but the first about 80% of the manga was him doing a classic case of harassment. Of course, she blew pretty hot and cold, but I certainly didn't see any hint of gentlemanly conduct in their dealings. I really didn't care for either of the main characters, and of the secondary characters, only the niece and the children in the hospital were in any way sympathetic.
Totally agree!
He sucked!
