Miss Pendleton (Update to C.222 END) - Chapter 100
Laura Pendleton visited Whitefield every day. She inspected each room of the manor, surveyed the halls, and assessed the scale and efficiency of the servants.
The innocent country servants, who until now had known nothing beyond cleaning, laundry, and cooking, were utterly overwhelmed. The butler, Ramswick, was equally flustered.
Laura gave Ramswick detailed instructions, step by step. She shared a precise schedule and directed him on where to assign which servants.
Ramswick absorbed Laura’s instructions and distributed roles to the servants. It was like a military operation: the servants were soldiers, Ramswick the strategist, and Laura the general.
Laura arrived at Whitefield around ten in the morning. Together with Ramswick, she toured the manor, designating guest bedrooms and inspecting newly arrived decorative tapestries and wines.
Amidst the busy hours, lunchtime would arrive before she knew it. Wherever she was, Mr. Ian Dalton would personally come to escort her. The two walked side by side to the dining room and ate together.
In the dining room, where Whitefield’s scenery unfolded like a painting, the two sat across from each other, sharing a meal. It was a pleasant and relaxed time.
After the meal, they took a brief walk around the Whitefield grounds. Then, they returned to their respective tasks—him to his study, and Laura to the office he had provided for her work.
According to Mr. Ramswick, the butler, this office had once belonged to the late Mrs. Dalton. Laura could sense the refined taste of Mrs. Dalton in the luxurious furniture.
In that office, Laura planned menus and interviewed musicians.
Around four o’clock, Mr. Ian Dalton would visit her office, pushing a cart laden with tea and pastries. It was astonishing that the master of the house would perform a servant’s task, but he didn’t seem to mind.
He poured tea for Laura himself, cut her a slice of cake, and handed it to her. Then, he pulled up a chair, sat beside her, and began to chatter.
Laura hadn’t realized Ian was such a talker. She guessed he must have been lonely, lacking close friends to confide in.
Laura listened attentively to his words and shared how she had spent her afternoon. He listened to every detail with care. Even though the conversation was mundane, a smile bloomed on his face.
As they chatted, the time for dinner arrived quickly. They went to the dining room together again to eat, and afterward, he escorted her back to Dunville Park.
Cold Male Lead Became My Clingy Husband (Female-Dominant)
Feng Bai Su transmigrated into a matriarchal novel, becoming the sister of the female protagonist and the Seventh Princess of the Feng Ling Kingdom.
After working herself to death in her previous life, finally reincarnating as a princess, she only wanted to be a lazy fish who could eat, sleep, and play.
Until she met the male protagonist from the book, Wei Jing Mo, and he took a liking to her!
Wei Jing Mo is the top young man in Feng Ling City, talented in both appearance and ability, from a prestigious family, with a cold and otherworldly appearance, a figure like the bright moon in the hearts of noble ladies. It was thought that only the most powerful and talented noble lady in Feng Ling City would be worthy of such a brilliant young man. Who knew that this young gentleman would secretly admire the infamous Seventh Princess?
Short scene 1:
Feng Bai Su looked at the young man crying like a pear blossom in the rain before her, and couldn’t help but doubt her life.
Wasn’t the male lead described as a cold and otherworldly figure in the book?
Then who was this poor little thing crying with swollen red eyes and tear-stained face?
Short scene 2:
Wei Jing Mo stared intently at Feng Bai Su who was about to go out, wanting to say, “Be careful on the road.”
Before he could speak, Feng Bai Su suddenly bent down and bit his cheek.
Her peach blossom eyes were full of disdain: “Tsk! You’re so clingy!”
Wei Jing Mo: “…”
A talented fox spirit female lead with a flirtatious appearance but actually abstinent VS A cold-looking but actually naive and clingy little jealous male lead
I think this trip to Bath will be good to Laura. Meeting these women will inspire her to be more confident. I just hope her ex and Mr. Dalton don’t ruin it.
Each chapter leaves me in suspense for the future. Although the readers are given assurance from Laura’s feelings since the carriage kiss, I can’t help but doubt the next steps for this couple! Ian’s feeling are deep and tumultuous like waves against a cliff. I can only hope that when the two finally meet, he will remain level headed.
