Miss Pendleton (Update to C.222 END) - Chapter 115
Part 3. Bath
“Goodbye, then.”
The front desk clerk, who had carried Laura’s trunk to the entrance, bowed politely toward her.
Laura nodded and turned her gaze to the street. The sidewalks bustled with gentlemen and ladies in fine tailored clothing, and four-wheeled carriages emblazoned with family crests raced along the road. The orange hue of twilight had already settled over the scene.
She let out a sigh.
Oh, what to do.
Laura had arrived in Bath around noon. Thinking to unpack first, she headed straight to the upscale inn recommended by Mrs. Fairfax.
But the inn had been transformed into a four-story tailor shop. Upon asking the owner, she learned that the building had been sold last spring, changing its purpose entirely.
Perplexed, Laura hailed a hired carriage and asked to be taken to any reputable lodging nearby.
Yet, Laura couldn’t find a place to anchor herself. She knocked on the doors of four or five establishments, but all were fully booked.
Only then did Laura count the days and realize the date of her arrival in Bath. She sighed at her own foolishness. The London social season had long ended.
It was the time when nobles flocked to resort towns.
Nobles uninterested in hunting generally preferred Bath. Every night, balls and gambling tables unfolded, and one could lavishly spend pounds in high-end shops and restaurants. It was also the perfect place to seek a spouse or discreetly find a lover.
The nobles had likely arrived in Bath a month or two ago, securing long-term lodging. Laura was, without a doubt, far too late.
At twenty-nine, Laura felt like a lost child, despite her age.
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.”

“Unlike me,” Laura thought calmly, without much self-pity.
Dhe knows she does acknowledge her feelings. But due to class difference, she can nlt act upon feelings alone.

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.
