People who are butthurt over the MC not "understanding" Alejandro's love, she clearly sees him as a child and purposely rejects his offers not because she's dense.. she doesn't want him to be casted out of the noble society due to him falling in-love with a mere maid and she thinks of him as a pitiful child who hadn't had the chance to express his love for anyone, imagine taking care of a child and watching them grow.. would you ever think of them as a potential lover? Of course not and that's the case here. Y'all would complain even if they actually fell in-love and talk about how forced their love is, so enjoy the story and wait patiently for their love to grow.
