As If I've Never Loved (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 40
On the second day she left home, Eloise was composed, without shedding a single tear. Her family was the same—calmly exchanging quiet hugs and kisses one after another.
So it was possible to grow accustomed even to sorrowful farewells. This sudden realization brought a small comfort to her aching heart.
“I’ll be off now.”
“All right. Take care of yourself…”
“Write to me, Elsie. Understood?”
She hadn’t seen Archibald once since his abrupt confession.
He likely had no reason to seek her out, and Eloise hadn’t gone to church since then either.
Thus, although the coachman had offered to take her, she firmly declined his kindness.
She hadn’t brought any luggage, so she carried no heavy bags, and she wanted time to think as she walked.
After retracing a few bittersweet memories and then pondering an uncertain future for a while, she found herself already at the carriage stop, breathing in the crisp autumn air in silence.
The carriage arrived shortly and was bustling with many passengers.
When she’d first ridden a shared carriage several months ago, it had been so early in the morning that hardly anyone was aboard. Naturally, this felt unfamiliar now.
In truth, Eloise herself had changed just as much since that day.
Leaving her family to journey far away now seemed strangely ordinary.
Compared to that day when she’d sat trembling in a corner like a frightened rabbit, she was now so composed she could pass for someone else entirely.
Male lead is a Divorced Husband
She said to him: “Tell me, what makes you like me? I’ll change it!”
Liu Changning transmigrated into a female cannon fodder character in a female-dominant novel.
After reading the first half of the novel’s plot, the first thing she did upon transmigration was to divorce the Pan Jinlian-style male protagonist she had just married.
She indulged herself, pretending to be ugly and poor.
But as time passed, the way that man looked at her became more and more unusual…
Liu Changning was dumbfounded: Tell me, what makes you like me? I’ll change!
――
This lifetime, Pei Yuanshao was rejected by the same woman twice!
The first time, she drove him away. Forced by the situation, he endured the waves of anger in his heart, yielding and humbling himself.
That person lay slanted on a rocking chair, her sallow face emotionless: “If you don’t want a divorce, go cook!”
Pei Yuanshao’s face was dark and gloomy: “You!”
The second time, after the crisis in Jinling City was resolved, the new emperor sent someone to pick him up. He turned around, stammering: “I… I have to go. If you keep me…”
That person lay on the kang bed, her back to him, as if she had long anticipated this day, crisp and clear: “Goodbye!”
Pei Yuanshao was so angry his fingers trembled: “You… you!”
The mission of family and country made him restrain himself, averting his eyes and turning to leave this broken household.
Two years later, they met again. Seeing her ethereal face, his body shook like a sieve.
“She was originally a ‘she’!”
At the Qionglin Banquet, the top scholar of the imperial examination, a talented person with exceptional speech and conduct, all the unmarried young gentlemen from aristocratic families looked at her with shy and timid eyes.
The peerless imperial official Pei Yuanshao felt the anger in his heart erupt. He pointed at the woman surrounded by the crowd at the Qionglin Banquet, his thin lips slightly curled: “Little sister, I wants that person to be the wife-master of my Mingde Prince Manor.”
