Like Kidult said his characterisation is at crossroads. He can either be positiive or negative.I am really curious to see when he will actually turn "negative". He is as positive as he can be. I expect him to wait with "pain" till Dua understands and leave.
His hurt is being dismissed because he is not the biological father but it is a valid pain.
In another show, I really liked the ML but I was cognisant of the fact that AA did much more for the child.
