I don’t think my parents in love too but they are happy and they respect each other and they know what to do as a married couple. So I believe happiness is not about love is about respect their partner
“Happiness doesn’t mean love” not necessarily but it does require some form of emotional investment, some kind of affection if not flat out romantic love. Like the friendship they had before their marriage.
Truth is he lied to the duke. How was he going to give Eli happiness without any form of engagement? All Raymond gave her was contentment at best. I’m wondering what he took away from their friendship since he knows so little about her. I guess he thought Eli would be happy just being Empress. How effing shallow.
I’m doing a reread of this and her father will always have my heart for being such a damn good dad, just endlessly supportive and willing to literally catch a charge to yell at her fuckface of a husband
Why would he think it would be ok? I have nothing against the poor kid, but this is much more complicated than just saying, “he will be your son now, the child I bore with my 1st love that tragically left me and came back. So bond or something.” >_>
