There’s one thing that I don’t get. If the ML have known from the start what her plan is, why didn’t he do anything about it? He just let her continue to destroy herself/reputation? Also, it seems wired that he didn’t find his behavior with his “cousin” “inappropriate” between a married man and a grown up single woman regardless of “familial” relationship, even more that he knew from the start that his “cousin” is not his real cousin. From third party point of view, their interactions are of two lovers. The way he treated her/cousin so lovingly, and her dependence on him seems out of bound. At least that how I see it too. Even the servants shipped them? If the cousin needs aid, he doesn’t have to be personally and physically do that for her, but hire someone trustworthy. Isn’t that what the nobles used to do even hire companions for noble ladies, even if they are completely healthy and able? Why must it him that attended the cousin personally? Can anybody blamed the misunderstanding on FL part? The fact that she misunderstood their “close” relationship means that it wasn’t an appropriate closeness between opposite genders to begin with.
