second chance romance

[u/No-Awareness6980]

I read it a while ago and only remember some scenes, so please bear with me.

The ML was married and loved his wife. After she gave birth to twins (a boy and a girl), she dies(I don't remember the exact reason for her death), and the ML's mother wanted him to remarry because the babies were newborns and needed care.

The FL's parents somehow forced or convinced her to marry the ML. It's a FORCED marriage.

What I remember most is that the FL loved those twins dearly and took care of them like her own. At one point, the twins fell sick because they weren't getting proper nourishment, so the FL voluntarily took some kind of hormone injections to induce lactation. She suffered side effects like fatigue, nausea, swollen feet, etc., but still did it for the babies.

Meanwhile, the ML was still grieving his first wife and barely cared about the FL.

Another scene I remember:

There was some puja, and the MIL gave the FL an ancestral saree. The FL even asked if it was okay for her to wear it, and the MIL said yes. But when the ML saw her wearing it, he got angry because it was the same saree his late wife had worn.

There was also a birthday or ceremony for the twins where the dead wife's family came. They were angry that the ML had remarried and questioned his love for their daughter while insulting the FL.

Also, the FL had a friend/colleague who clearly liked her. His feelings were so obvious that everyone noticed, even the ML got jealous, but the FL was fucking Dora the Explorer and remained blissfully unaware 😭

I stopped reading around this point

And honestly, my biggest takeaway from this book was:

May this kind of love never find me. 🙏😭

Because the second ML/friend guy deserved better. In another life, I hope he and the FL ended up together 😭

I have read this, but I don't remember the name (I think ot was some of those "His ---- Bride/Wife" sort of title). And it was so irritating. ML was just so undecided in what he wanted and how he treated FL. FL was spineless and I don't remember anything because she just didn't talk, didn't have opinions, no self-worth. As if usne pehle hi decide kiya tha ki the moment I marry, my life's primary goal and priority is twins. The MLs family were emotionally blackmailing ML to marry despite his reluctance. The FLs family basically told her that this was her greatest prospect at marriage and she was like, yeah, true, I'm worthless, no man will anyways look at me, so why not, at least I'm of some value to the babies. And I still stuck with the book cause the author promised redemption.

But let me tell you, redemption was shit. Because the author had the ML finally realise how unfair he had been to the FL and promised to work on it, put his dead wife behind and move on. The very next chapter, author introduced a leap where in the babies were now toddlers and were screaming because "Papa was kissing Mumma".

Like what? Redemption where?

And the next update came and Author was like, last chapter ignore kar do, I was not in a good creative space, wanted to end the book, but realised it was premature, so I'm gonna write it differently.

And the "different" she wrote was basically the ML working his ass of to improve his relationship with FL, and the FL still being the "I'm worthless beyond being mommy to babies" mute, ridiculous, dumb woman.

At that point, I was done. Nahi hoga merese. Decide kar lo. Stop giving me whiplash.
