But at the very least, the ML decided to stay in New York and search for new work to accommodate the FL. FL didn't need to sacrifice herself just to get married to him
I agree. Even when she was old enough to realize how foolish she had been when she was younger and why she had been acting out, she continued to embrace the hussy reputation she had earned and went out of her way to act, and even lie, to maintain it. She never pushed back and tried to insist on the truth. She always caved right away and then came up with a lie to SUPPORT their accusations. I can be mad at the family for not listening, but she never fought hard enough or long enough to give them reason to second guess their assumptions. Instead, she'd turn around and make it seem like her truth had been the lie and dig her hole deeper! And she never stopped the behavior that supported their assumptions, even when she knew what she was doing! The family is not completely to blame. Honestly, she was her own worse enemy.
I would say....the FL is not totally right in this thing. She's the one who spoke untrue thing all the way. Even when she was almost raped, why did she kissed the ML. And the ML just wanted to protect his family....yeah he can be a jerk. But at least after he kidnapped her and then hear her story, he immediately let her off the hook.
What made me mad at him after they got engaged. She already told him everything but he kept being a jerk （￣へ￣）
But I hate her father all the way. What a useless father
