Painful but Desirable — Chapter 23

Get ready, because Painful, but Desirable Chapter 23 has everyone's hearts swooning and tempers flaring! This chapter was a big one for understanding our ML, and readers are collectively saying, "Aww!" and "Seriously?!" in the same breath. 😂

The biggest buzz is about the ML finally starting to lean on the FL. Folks are absolutely thrilled that their "ship is sailing!" 🚢 He's finding comfort in her voice, which has everyone gushing over how cute and vulnerable he's becoming. It's a sweet, heartwarming moment many have been waiting for. 🥰

However, the internet is united in throwing virtual rotten tomatoes at the ML's dad. 🍅 His audacity to demand "forgiveness" from his son left readers seeing red. Many are passionately pointing out that it's the father who owes an apology, not the other way around. This revelation also shed light on *why* our ML detests romance and marriage—his parents' toxic relationship clearly traumatized him. Poor guy! 💔 Despite the anger, the overall feeling is hopeful for more development between our leads. We're on the edge of our seats!
