I can recognize the potential in this narrative. The female lead (FL) displays a sensible approach, and I appreciate how she gradually builds a connection with the son. However, personally, I find the pacing a bit too slow to suit my taste. Although the male lead (ML) isn't among the most unlikable I've encountered, he lacks charm, and their constant animosity doesn't engage me when the story meanders on. As I read, I'm hoping for a turning point where she decides to leave. A quick skim through suggests that by chapter 39, they're still living together. Given that, I think I'll put this story on hold and revisit later when there are more updates.
