Her growth look strange because she forced to took suspended growth by her birth mother. That's why need she stop taking its, she sudden growth, also with help of her mother-in-law
Sorry for bad English
I’m not taking about her physical growth I said character growth as in like her personality and stuff
I see what you mean, I like that she stands her grounds at times but then she acts all cowardly at other times. This is now how it really works unless you got some split personality issues. The author needs to do a better job to show case her going from a weak to a strong independent woman.
Is she deaf? Is she pretending to not have heard or just being naive? “As a friend” that part clearly sailed over his head. Her character growth is so strange
