### Summary
The central conflict has shifted from external confrontation to internal misunderstanding, with readers expressing immense frustration over the characters' lack of communication. The latest chapter reveals Alexander avoided Aileen for two weeks not out of coldness, but because he was waiting for the black eye from Stefan to heal, wanting to look his best for her. While fans found this gesture "too cute" and a sign he is "down bad," it has only worsened Aileen's fear that their impending marriage is a loveless one born of duty. The comment section is a unified chorus of exasperation, with readers begging Alexander to "say the quiet part out loud" and confess the love he so clearly expresses in his internal monologues. This failure to communicate is the primary source of angst, with many calling the couple "dummies" for not resolving the situation with a simple conversation. A kiss at the end of the chapter is viewed as a welcome but insufficient substitute for the verbal reassurance Aileen needs. Meanwhile, readers remain incensed by Stefan's hypocrisy, contrasting his moral lectures with his own secret affair with Victoria.
