Does anyone know what he meant when he said to her, you wanted this engagement? I thought it came from his grandpa? And it seemed like she didn’t have a choice in the beginning
In my opinion,
1. MC's grandfather might have asked for the engagement, but in FMC's family, they might not have forced her to get engaged, but she wanted to for the sake of the family.
2. Her family forced her to get engaged and pretended she wanted to, even though she really didn't want to get engaged, because she couldn't resist.
having not read any of the LN spoils in comments, step father seems better than how was initially. the strong silent type, but clearly as not as malicious as step mother
