Happily Ever Afterwards — Chapter 16

Okay, dive into Happily Ever Afterwards Chapter 16! The comments section is pretty much a collective sigh of relief... mixed with a lot of "YES!" and maybe a few tears. 😭

Readers were absolutely *living* for the moment the ML (Richt) finally finds out our sweet Peony is sick. Why? Because they wanted that guilt! 😂 So many comments cheering for him to feel bad after his, uh, less-than-stellar treatment of her, especially that whole firewood situation. It seems withholding warmth from someone from a tropical climate was a big no-no, and seeing him realize the consequences brought on the catharsis readers craved. "DROWN IN THE GUILT!" and "SUFFER NOW!" were popular sentiments.

Of course, there's immense sympathy for Peony – readers were genuinely sad and worried for her. However, a few curious minds questioned why her illness wasn't communicated earlier by her family, or even why Peony herself didn't ask for help if she knew the cold was dangerous for her. 🤔 Despite these minor plot quibbles, the main takeaway is clear: everyone is here for Richt's guilt trip and hoping it leads to him finally treating Peony like the treasure she is! ✨
