She’s a bit of a pushover. I get that it there are circumstances. But to always be excluded… it would hurt.
And now her sister has ensured her own happiness, however she pleases. While the heroine makes the sacrifice to marry her first love etc.
Her husband and sister have such a close relationship as friends that it is easy to misunderstand, and when troubled he seeks her counsel (that would gnaw at me). He prioritizes the sister’s happiness, safety and comfort over her peace of mind. Can you really call this love? Or did he simply like her youthful adoration?
I think it would have been a little interesting to make it slightly darker, with the misunderstanding not getting cleared up. Both couples having children and the prince getting along well with the sisters child, while expecting more form his own children, scolding them and being strict. Making the heroine feel he loves her sister’s children more then hers. Or maybe the necessity of heirs forcing in a concubine.
eventually killing the heroine’s love.
What happens here can't even be called gaslighting. It's just a sh.tshow
Bruh, but u treat ur wife like a little sister 💀
Aw her feelings were so hurt. She just took off. You would think she would be happy, but to her, his treatment toward her compared to her sister just didn't add up. I guess I can't blame her for being upset.
disgusting. i am dropping if she ends up still marrying that pos cp
Just what is the release schedule on this?!
The FL's father is cruel to the FL. He clearly has favorites. He was still trying to sell off the oldest pregnant daughter to the Prince. Clearly, his plans were ruined. I like that the Crown Prince stood up for her.
Okay, I misunderstood. I thought the ML was the father of the FL sister's baby. I was wrong and am now very embarrassed for misreading. Please ignore my previous comment.
Wow!....... Why?.... Why go through all of this if she was pregnant by him all of this time? Why not just marry the girl you wanted and got pregnant in the first place? This doesn't make sense. So what's real and what's the lie? Are they lying to the father? Right now, this is really messy for no real reason. I was happy for them, but now I am sad for our FL because she always loved him and it seems he, her sister and father are playing a cruel game.
This is one of my favorite stories. I can't wait for them to just be honestly in love with each other. It would be nice to get more of this story. At first I didn't trust him and her sister either. They were very suspicious. Her friend reminds me of her sister with black hair.
I don't know if I can trust her friend she is staying with. She should just go home and talk to her husband.
denke mir, ein Missverständnis über Missverstänsnis wirds sein. er hat sie ja von Anfang an geliebt. Die Schwester wusste es. und sie ist eine liebe Schwester
Please 🙏 post the update! 🙏
Please post the rest 🙏
Is he the father of her sister's baby? I need the rest of the story please. 😊
