The Soulless Duchess - Vol. 1 Ch. 16

One thing I very much appreciate is that she made it clear that receiving so much is overwhelming, and he apologizes for it. I don’t think I’ve ever seen that before. Usually it goes unaddressed or the guy keeps giving over-the-top presents anyways until he figures it out on his own that heartfelt presents are better.
 
@AnonDePlume I was thinking mostly the same thing. He understood what she meant very quickly and was open to changing his behavior, which is about as rare as a unicorn when it comes to love interests who give extravagant gifts.

I do think that over-the-top and heartfelt aren’t mutually exclusive when it comes to presents, though—it’s just that excessive gifts create concern about fiscal responsibility and how outsiders will perceive the expense, which make it difficult to be 100% happy about them. Many male love interests, being about as concerned with other people’s feelings and a personal sense of responsibility as the average cat, can’t relate to or understand that, and their responses can usually be summed up as “just be more like me! I don’t care about these things!” The duke’s understanding reaction here acknowledges that Ivona has different preferences and concerns than he does and demonstrates a willingness to accommodate them.

He felt kind of stiff and boring to me before, but I have a very good impression of him now because of this.
 
Can't wait for the redhead to get her ass BEAT.
Also seems we can add him to the ever-growing list of "Dukes That Love Their Low-Class Wiafu"
 
Oh man all I saw was her cousins sad expression face when she was in the carriage with the duke. I knew they looked alike but that expression along with the hat pushing back her long hair and only keeping her short hair/bangs in the front. It looked just like her cousin and I got a little irritated even though I knew it wasn’t him lol. 😅
 
"This is all for Duke Agentine's sake" bs, it's to feed your petty jealousy.
 
@WhoCares Said everything I wanted to say. @NoSoup I feel the same way. It so damn rare to find a male lead that actually listens or gives a damn about how the mc feels, instead of the whole macho pushy vibes.
 
Can't steal someone who's single and not taken 😎

I like how they're trying to understand each other and talking things out.👍
 
I gotta say our FL has good taste, those dresses are very pretty. The Duke is such an awkward sweetheart.
I am looking forward to that redhead's downfall
 
@WoodyCyber Also, the ML buys everything in the store for the MC because he is fabulously wealthy in love with the MC. Nothing proves that the ML cares for the MC more than showering her with material wealth~
