Long After the Ending — Chapter 41

Okay, diving into **Long After the Ending Chapter 41** had readers feeling a whole range of emotions! 🎢

Lots of love for Elena still, but her meeting with the Dowager Duchess and the idea of stepping back from Hugh definitely rubbed some readers the wrong way. 🤔 People felt for Hugh, seeing his willingness to give everything up for her and finding it tough that his decision might be invalidated. It was seen by many as maybe "not her place" to interfere, even if it came from a place of love (albeit maybe a "wussy" way, as one comment put it!)

And Astel? Oh, Astel! Readers found him everything from "clueless" to just plain audacious. 😂

There's also some confusion and speculation about the Dowager's true intentions – was it a test? Why is she against marriage but maybe okay with a baby? 🤔 Plus, frustration that after everything, Hugh got dispatched so quickly after getting his position back! And Lian... let's just say readers are really looking forward to seeing him get his comeuppance. 😈

Overall, a chapter that stirred the pot and left readers rooting for Hugh while debating Elena's choices and wondering what the Dowager is truly up to! **Long After the Ending** keeps us hooked!
