과거의 루였다면 본인이 어느 방에서 자든 크게 신경쓰지 않고 오히려 다른 가족 멤버들을 위해서 배려하고 양보했을 것이다. 하지만 ‘i was the main earner of the family. I could not sleep in what was essentially a cupboard.’ 라고 말하면서 루는 본인이 이 집의 생계를 책임지는 사람으로서 불편하게 잘 수 없다고 소신발언하고 있다.

According to 288p. Will already knew about his father's cheating, and he was feeling bitter about it. So when he needed to demand something from his father, he chose the most effective method from that time.
But I think blackmail is a rather strong word. A little threat(?) might do better.

Will's father is might be a nicer, more caring person than most of the readers think. Though he rarely shows himself or interacts with the protagonists, we cannot say he is indifferent to Will. We can assume he doesn't have much time to spend for his family, since his job involves many companies, probably all over the UK, maybe around the world. His cheating on wife cannot be justified on these grounds, though he is a caring father for Will, who tries to make him happy as possible, as you can see with him arguing with his wife about issue of Will's plans of traveling to Switzerland. As he tries to give Will 'the happiest last moments' he would encourage Lou to help him, and for this, he might try to give Lou financial stability by giving his father a job.
The conclusion in my opinion is, that Will might have negotiated with his father, without mentioning about the cheating issue, and his father might have easily agreed, as a caring father.

290p. "I realized that nothing I had done in the last seven years suggested I had either any ambition or any desire to move further than the end of my street."
291p. 'It's on my hip. An actual tattoo. It's petmanent.'

When Lou had once again recognized the other's assumption(opinion) about her, she felt uncomfortable and she wanted to argue against it. So she blurted out about her newest venture from her past attitude.

It is highly possible that Will blackmailed his father into giving Bernard a job. Will wouldn't have been very aggressive, but he wouldn't be the type to just let it slide. He wanted Lou to do something with her life, not be shackled down to her family.

She wanted to contradict Deirdre's opinion of her. Being compared indirectly to Treena made Lou feel a bit inadequate and want to prove herself to Deirdre.

Also, she would be stimulated by 아줌마의 I always surprised you didn't live before her. we always thought you were such a bright little thing.

I think Lou told Deirdre that she got a 'bee tattoo' because she wanted we show that she changed. She used do what her family said and couldn't say no to requests, but this means that she made small changes.

Lou didn't like Patrick's flat bc it felt lonely and she found it hard to sleep there. Also, Patrick was rarely there. It didn't feel like home.

Lou always conformed to family members’ option. Of course, still she was discomfortable, but she became a person who could say her words. In page 281, she thought “ I was twenty-seven years old. I was main earner of the family. I could not sleep in what was essentially a cupboard.”
Lou from the past would give her room to their parents or Treena and Thomas. However, now she occupies her room in the name of only earner  even though she considers her options about the place where she will stay

1.  p.281
The thought of sleeping in there again made my chest feel tight. I was twenty-seven years old.
She used to sleep in the box room w/o complaint, but now she acts more like Treena. Her self assertion has grown.

Lou's house is quite cluttered and noisy. But in contrast, Patrick's flat is too empty and featureless, and is excessively organized. Plus, Patrick is always too busy preparing himself for the triathlon, so Lou is often left alone in the flat. From all that, Lou feel like the flat is soulless.

I don't think that Will didn't blackmail his father into giving Lou's father a job. Since Will's father consider Lou as Will's friend, so he thought her as a nice girl. This leads his dad to have emotions to help Lou's family, so he hired Lou's dad as a guard. However, even though Will didn't blackmail his father, I think that Will requested his dad to hire Lou's dad politely.

I think Lou told Deirdre that she got a 'bee tattoo' because she wanted to tell her that she is not the Lou she knew anymore. She wanted to show Deirdre that she changed and she makes her own decisions.

282p. "As a result, there was nothing of me ~ view of the castle."
299p. "Well, if i'm honest, it doesn't feel like home."
We think the reason why Lou did not like Patrick's flat was because she felt she did not belong to the place. She did not have any of her own things there, nor did she have any attachment to 'Patrick's' place.

"I was twenty-seven years old. ~I could not sleep in what was essentially a cupboard"
It seems she has gotten to care more for her own needs, compare to how selfless she was in the start of this book. She also got some more opinions on her situation.
