Miss Pendleton (Update to C.222 END) - Chapter 120
Laura prayed for him every night. She prayed for his business to prosper, for peace to grace his family and health. Though her already difficult life had become even harder because of him, she wished for his happiness alone.
It was a form of discipline. A practice to rise above resentment and betrayal, to become someone capable of forgiveness. Like the adage that says to make lemonade when life gives you lemons, Laura had been practicing the most rational way to overcome her wounds.
Yet, when she faced him after twelve years, Laura could not stop the seeds of resentment from sprouting.
This change was not exclusive to today. Recently, she had stopped praying for him. When she received a letter through Ann stating that he was looking for her, Laura realized she had not fully forgiven him. The sense of betrayal she felt twelve years ago had not vanished or changed; it had merely hidden deep within her heart.
Laura knew the moment she recognized her emotions coincided with the moment cracks began to form in the tightly shut walls of her heart toward Mr. Dalton.
It was not only affection for Mr. Dalton that began to flow uncontrollably from her heart. It was the entirety of her suppressed human emotions.
Yet her habit of not easily revealing her inner thoughts still strongly protected her. Instead of confronting John Ashton about the past, she calmly took his arm and walked. To an onlooker, they might have appeared as a friendly young couple visiting Bath.
Given the circumstances, Laura needed his help.
Despite her resentment toward him, walking with him brought her a sense of reassurance. He was a robust man. In his youth, he grew up hammering heated iron alongside his blacksmith father, and as an adult, under Mrs. Granchard’s patronage, he learned riding and fencing, becoming exceptionally sturdy.
Twelve years ago, being by his side always made her feel secure. It felt as though even if rocks rained from the sky, she would remain unharmed with him. It had all been an illusion, though.
“I can feel their gaze. They’re still following us,” he muttered.
“What a bold fellow. Not giving up even when you’re escorted by a man. Seems they have quite the attachment to you.”
“We don’t know if I’m the target. They might be following to find another lady I’m with.”
She responded in a calm voice.
“No. It’s definitely you, Laura. No matter how charming the ladies you’re with may be, none could be more beautiful than you.”
My Ex-Girlfriend Is The Regent In The Female-dominant World (Male lead transmigrates to the matriarchal world)
Two years ago, Gu Sui picked up a homeless woman in ancient costume from the street.
Apart from occasionally claiming to be a princess from a female-dominant country due to illness, her figure, appearance, intelligence, and martial arts skills were impeccable.
Naturally evolving from roommates to girlfriends, as time went on, Gu Sui found it increasingly difficult to tolerate her queen syndrome.
“Mu Jiulu, can you stop controlling me inside and out? Let’s break up.”
Gu Sui made a breakup call, and since then, he couldn’t find any trace of her.
A year later, Gu Sui, who was planning to move, woke up the next day and found himself in a different place.
“Young Master, today is the day you choose your Wife-master through martial arts competition at Jade Dew Pavilion. Please get up quickly.”
Gu Sui: Who am I? Where am I? What am I doing?
As the only son of a general’s mansion in a female-dominant dynasty, the young empress personally issued a decree allowing Gu Sui to select his Wife-master through martial arts competition. Whoever could defeat him could marry him.
Gu Sui: “……”
He didn’t inherit the original owner’s martial prowess, so anyone could defeat him! And what the hell is a Wife-master?
Forced to come to Jade Dew Pavilion, the densely packed women below made Gu Sui’s agoraphobia act up, and his face was full of resistance.
Until he saw the Regent sitting on the second floor, with a smile on the corner of her lips, her eyes wicked and nonchalant.
Hmm… she looked a little familiar.
It turned out that the Regent also found him a little familiar.
Mu Jiulu fiddled with her bone clasp, her deep gaze locked on the man who was out of place in this world.
“Finally, I found you.”

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.
