Charles is so petty and I'm loving it coz some people think they can choose but not suffer the consequences of their choices

Choices have consequences, whether made with accurate or inaccurate assumptions.
Somehow Charles thinks his desertion should bear no serious and dire consequences for him and I guess how things were in his time that is probably not unwarranted even if unreasonable. As a man he had all the rights, while his wife and children had none. By marrying him Katharine transferred her guardianship from her father to him

I wonder what the trope for Martin and Katherine is... Peasant falls for Noble who becomes a peasant while the peasant becomes a noble?

Men will be selfish even when they appear to love. Charles leaving his wife to fend for herself and their two children when he knows she cannot get the kids of jobs that would be available to him or the salary he has the potential to earn. Such hubris should cause physical affliction to someone who has sired children

Something I appreciate about Charles is his honesty and respect for his wife, which is evident to me by his conduct more than by his words or thoughts solely.

Wow, this writer is such a killer
Killed 4 characters before half the story was even told
So now both family's children are orphans
Also, Martin is quite infuriating...

And so begins a decent life for the Cox children with the loss of their miserly father who left a sizeable estate to his only heir

Well that was a sweet moment between the antagonist who is now an ally
