"I'm not a heartless man" Top 10 HQ ML Lies indeed.
I'm sure it'll be because "he wouldn't be able to control himself" or some other nonsense for why he leaves every morning, and the classic "I thought you only married me for money even though i married you for an island" thing for why he's a dick to her, but I stand by my theory that this would be a more fun story if FL channelled her inner Dexter.
Of course he is cold to her. Its the only way to protect himself from falling for her. After all in chapter 2 she set the tone and the image she would be seen from. Cold and heartless. (shown below) She of course did this to protect herself and her secret but surely she isn't under the impression that after that scene he would be kind to her? I still don't understand how no one else understands this? If someone woulda said that to me, you darn right imma not be kind to them in the slightest. I also don't understand how no one can see they are both victims of one man. but its common place to find faults with a ml only round here. Truly. its sad.
