What was interesting to me wasn't the idea that *he* was selling Holo - because it was immediately clear that he didn't want to - it was the idea that she was selling herself, and using the opportunity as a means to leave him. It's a level of mind-screw that you don't usually see in romantic anime.
I know a lot of people dwell on the fact that he even slept on it and let Holo know about it. But it's absurd - it's irrational to be angry at Lawrence for something Holo did to herself in order to leave him. The twist in this plot is that *he* is the victim, even though Holo is the one being pawned off.
Which is why I like seeing how the novels are interpreted by others (almost as much as the novels themselves). I like knowing how others react because I'm a weirdo who probably doesn't react like most people would
