After I Sent the Divorce Letter, My Husband Went Mad Chapter 16 Discussion

This novel is for those who like a slow burn romance with pinning and a (understandable) misunderstanding. MC and ML obviously love each other but it's one of those novels where they take a long while to get to the same page.

MC and ML's relationship

Spoiler

Their moms were good friends. Her mom was the leader of the biggest merchant association and sponsored ML when his mom died. After her mom died, she continued the sponsorship because she liked him and wished for him to have everything and be happy. They both want each other to be happy so they're willing to put their feelings away.

Their misunderstanding:

Spoiler

Her uncle told her ML said he had someone he loves but ML refused to share who it was. She's willing to divorce him because she wants him to be happy and refuses to be like her parents (her mom loved her dad but her dad didn't and made her mom and her miserable).

Before they got married, he believed he doesn't deserve her because he has nothing to his name and he is an illegitimate prince. He had to leave for war right after they got married so they didn't have time to talk.

To the reviewer who asks why she can't just leave her tr*sh family even though she's rich:

Spoiler

Under the law, everything under her name belongs to her dad until she gets married. The dad hates her but refuses to let her get married because he has control over the things her mom left her. If she reveals her identity, the merchant association can also legally go to the dad.

She also has a good relationship with her half (or step) sister. She wants her sister to marry and leave the family before she does anything.
