Oh, so the ridiculous tea leave conspiracy that we were all complaining was actually part of a bigger conspiracy. There's a ton of things still wrong with it, but with this new misunderstanding plot that just got introduced, I'm not holding my breath.
I didn't find her misunderstanding the proposal as cute or funny, honestly these types of misunderstanding are so overdone and so overly forced, I don't know why any author still continues to do them.
