I like Val, but I wish she inherited her mama's teeth.

Hispanic mothers, usually call their children, "amor, amorcito, mi amor" (this is also used to address your love or significant other) , cariño, querido, querida, is usually used to address, someone dear but not so close or related.
of course there are frequently exceptions, this is a rough rule so to say and may differ from region to region,

I guess it depends on the place but it's very common cariño to refer to children, it's like sweetheart or honey in English.
In Spain you hear it much more than amor, for example.

Is this confirmed?
A while ago I saw Nyx say that Gaby was 28, but I'm not on that discord anymore and I don't know if she also confirmed it.

Thank you. This last update I only played Erinn's part, I didn't see what happens in the second part of the chapter.

Hoisting someone else's child on someone who is madly deeply in love with you is far worse than "I'll agree on the condition that I will be the child's father". Cheating would also be fully out of character for a person who in spite of being cheated on (I don't recall exactly if this was framed as clear cheating or ambiguous cheating), decides to raise a child as his own.
I'll ignore the later re-framing for this as it might just be nonsensical in the story, because Nyx wanted to prevent backlash from Patreon. I'm still not convinced that's the case, I lean more in the "I needed to make him the bad guy, I didn't realise Emily looked like the asshole in the relationship."
You have someone who is so deeply in love with someone they are willing to raise someone else's child just so they can be with her. In love with someone who either cheated or who was not being forthcoming in juggling two (?) relationships.
This person not only raises the child as his own, but even after breaking up with the mom. Takes in the child with his new fiancée to keep raising him. Again a child that is not his, for a spoilt marriage.
Non of that goes with a person who cheats, let alone is a serial cheater. Someone who decides to cheat on his new fiancée, just before they are going to get married.
It reads entirely as trying to re-frame a moral character as an abhorrent cheater who abandoned the mother of his not-son, someone who would then take in his not-son so he could punch him in the face for discovering his cheating.
The problem isn't that it's impossible for Andres to go from moral to an immoral cheat. There was however no work done to get him from a to z. This wouldn't happen overnight, and it wouldn't happen without Emily also massively mocking up the relationship with Andres.

I think this is a good addition and probably stems from the same root. Could be just in-group bias, but it's also possibly "benevolent-sexism". The kind where a woman is only responsible for everything good that happens to her, but none of the bad things that happen to her.
It suffers from the same re-framing issue, where after learning the full facts, the character ends up looking worse than they did before. Granted in this case she does try to talk to the MC, who does not want to see her. Repeatedly if I recall correctly.
So less egregious than the Emily-Andres story. Re-framing wise.
But as you said, letting someone actually bully someone who you supposedly consider to be a close friend is incredibly fucked up and doesn't jive well with later being head-over-heels for him.
I do think the blackmail material would work if this story is taking place in the naughties (2000-2010). In this day and age of models being on LonelyFans it doesn't work well. It would also be seen as a type of revenge/leaked porn, even with good lawyers the leaker is not going to end up looking well. But ignoring the courts, she would likely get a massive popularity boost from said leak.

I know that each country has its own expressions, just as I imagine that it is not the same in Mexico, Cuba or Argentina, because each one evolves the language in a different way.
But I found it curious that by calling her cariño is because she is her stepmother or aunt (or whatever) and not her mother (if she is 28 years old it is clear that she is not). Mainly because I really don't know where Nyx is from, nor how influenced she is by European Spanish.
