I don’t find an age gap of 6-7 years disgusting if it’s between adults who have met as adults. I find it disgusting because he’s been an adult and has been with her as she’s grown up from being a child. Although I understand the time period argument it’s still a made up world and in this story the girls are clearly uncomfortable when discussing their child friend marrying an adult, so I don’t agree with the argument
Is Amel the love interest? Because if it is I’ll be disgusted. He has to be like 30, and she’s 16, and not only that, he’s watched her grow up. Feels kinda like he has been grooming her if so. I don’t know who else it could be but I really hope it’s someone else, like one of the brothers friends or maybe Anne
(sorry if it’s already known that he is the ML, I haven’t read the latest chapters)
