Happily Ever Afterwards — Chapter 9

Happily Ever Afterwards [Official] - Chapter 9 has readers feeling a mix of frustration and amusement at the Duke's frosty reception! The most talked-about moment? How incredibly fast the ML, Richt, absolutely *devoured* the cake our poor FL, Peony, made. Readers were cracking up, saying he practically inhaled it before anyone could blink. 😂

But the laughter quickly turned to collective exasperation as Richt continued his cold shoulder routine, especially when he asked Peony why she was clenching her fist. The overwhelming consensus from readers? "Because you're an ungrateful jerk!" 😒 Many commenters were ready to punch him themselves for his lack of manners and his insistence on literally freezing Peony out. They feel deeply for Peony freezing in her room and wish he'd show even basic hospitality.

While some readers find Peony's persistent approach a bit much, most agree that Richt's behavior is beyond the pale. The chapter left everyone itching to see Peony smack some sense (or just manners) into him, or perhaps stop making desserts to see if that gets his attention! 👊🧊
