1. WENDY, who was in distress and under the influence BUT CAN STILL THINK AND DECIDE FOR HERSELF, wanted comfort physically and emotionally. They were both aware and consented to it. Then later on revealed (after newcomer’s part when she was crying beside the door and before confrontation) that she can’t really cut aiden off because she still uses him for her own benefit. It was mentioned a lot of times that their work increased in productivity, she’s able to have some time for herself bc he also takes care of the chores and food. She felt good that aiden is by herside. She even felt jelly when aiden princess carried drunk researcher.
2. Aiden, on the other hand, took advantage of her advances BUT IT WAS CONSENSUAL. GOD DID WENDY FELT R*PED? I DONT THINK SO. Although we really need to call out the disgusting fact that he emotionally manipulated wendy to make her promise and tie her down to a marriage. He clearly knew he was being used (confrontation after newcomer’s party) and that’s okay w him (consent) since he like her anyway and he rlly did strived to be the ideal man wendy wants. (Ch 15, Wendy’s ideal man revealed)
Their relationship starting point isnt so nice and it is indeed should not be normalized in anyway. But hey respect each other since every story is open for individual interpretation. I personally enjoy this story coz of my own preference and style. If you dont wanna read then you’re free to go anytime.
