Miss Pendleton (Update to C.222 END) - Chapter 118
……
“Did you even write a contract?”
“Um, if it’s not too rude to ask, why would you say that…?”
Miss Lotis, deep in thought, smoked her cigar silently.
Leaning back on the sofa, exhaling smoke, there was something captivating about her presence. Laura, out of the blue, wondered if she had a lover. She was quite beautiful, wealthy, and not too old to fall in love. Surely, discerning gentlemen wouldn’t leave her alone.
Finally, Miss Lotis stubbed out her cigar.
“I hear you started preparing for independence around the time you passed marriageable age. You’re a strong woman, Miss Pendleton. If I were twenty-five with no dowry, I’d have shot myself. As I said, I’d rather be a highwayman than a governess, but with these legs, I couldn’t pull that off.”
Her ambiguous tone, part praise, part insult, left Laura flustered again.
Miss Lotis continued.
“But reality is harsh. Whether you graduated top of Grant’s Academy or speak five languages, you’re worth fifty pounds. Can you build a future as a governess?”
Laura shook her head. Before coming to Dunville Park, she’d learned the bitter truth while drifting from one agency to another.
Still, Laura wanted to defend her position.
“I know. Being a governess doesn’t use my skills—it buries them. Many employers make governesses cook, fold laundry, or run errands to the launderer. But this was my only option. And I’ve been true to my choice.”
“So, if you had another option, would it have been different?”
“Pardon?”
An Indifferent Woman is the One Men Desire the Most
One-line summary: The female lead is actually cold-hearted and extremely rational. She has stage-by-stage relationships and won’t two-time, but there will always be someone who secretly likes her.
This novel has the following triggers, so if you’re sensitive to these, please don’t read:
1. The female lead has had many relationships, but she treated each one seriously and broke up properly.
It’s just that the men unilaterally pestered her incessantly. For the female lead, when she doesn’t like someone anymore, she simply doesn’t like them.
(This applies to her relationships with Male Lead 1, 2, 3, and 4 as well, but she’s loyal in each 1-on-1 relationship!)
2. In this novel, Male Lead 2 and the female lead kiss in a car, and Male Lead 1 sees it and beats up Male Lead 2.
The female lead calls the police and sends both Male Lead 1 and 2 to the police station! Male Lead 1 begs the female lead not to break up with him.
3. Male Lead 1 has a gentle appearance but an obsessive personality.
Male Lead 2 has a delicate and soft appearance, slightly green tea-like (two-faced).
Male Lead 3 is a youthful college student and a smart person who has secretly liked the female lead for a long time.
Male Lead 4 is the female lead’s father’s special assistant, a business elite with deep, hidden thoughts.
4. At the beginning of this novel, the female lead has already broken up with Male Lead 1 (Chapter 4) and gotten back together with Male Lead 2 (ex-boyfriend).
5. Enter with caution if you have triggers!!!
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.
