@idioticnibba don’t think so... In this chap we saw people asking her how is she and then stepping down... she was on her own to take care of her son, probably in this time she saw that the only one she can rely on is herself... that is why I think she is so reserved in accept help from MC, she doesn’t want to rely on a person that can leave her (not considering as a lover, but as a friend)... Plus, it is exact what MC’s father is trying to teach him too... Is not wrong to rely on others sometimes...
can possible her still hmmm.. Shoujo(virgin) but she married with man who have child with him.. and after that man(husband) die..?{like (old)manga "maison ikkoku"but she(widow)without child) (sorry just my opinion) or... [can someone tell me?(spoil me from LN?)]
@Karmichel I think you are right. Though, if I were him, I would try to tell her that she won't be of help to her son if she works herself to exhaustion.
I'd try to be gentle about it though, she doesn't need to feel criticized at this point.
