Miss Pendleton (Update to C.222 END) - Chapter 127
“I’m sorry to hear that. Mrs. Lance must be quite upset. Miss Dora Lance is a precious daughter.”
“She’s taken to her bed with hysterics. Father has gone off to Italy to escape Mother’s fits. He’ll probably return with a heap of intriguing sculptures and paintings, which will only worsen her condition.”
Dora Lance spoke lightly, as if joking.
Mr. Fairfax was surprised. The situation must feel like a bolt from the blue for Dora Lance, yet she was casually making jests.
“She’s pretending to be unaffected,” he thought.
From what he had observed, Dora Lance was neither particularly resilient nor insensitive to others’ opinions. Surely, her heart was torn into a thousand pieces, yet her pride compelled her to act as usual.
“How hard it must be for her,” he thought.
He wanted to say that she didn’t need to pretend, that she could express her struggles freely. But he swallowed his words. Such kindness might be freely offered between friends of the same sex, but between a gentleman and a lady, it crossed a line.
Hiding his thoughts, he asked gently, “Even if tea time has been paused, you’re still meeting with friends regularly, I presume? How are Miss Victoria Wilkes, Miss Susan Donovan, and Miss Daisy Orson doing?”
“They’re terribly busy. You know that Miss Victoria Wilkes is engaged to Mr. George Orson, don’t you? They’re so caught up preparing for the engagement party that they haven’t had time to visit me.”
“What a pity. Your excellent taste would have been a great help with the preparations.”
Dora Lance gave an ambiguous smile.
“My friends seem to think associating with me brings more harm than good. Or rather, their mothers seem to think so. They send letters saying they miss me, but their mothers always forbid them from visiting.”
“Why on earth…”
“Mothers with daughters fear their girls associating with a friend of tarnished reputation as much as they fear consorting with the devil himself.”
Male lead is reincarnated to save his wife
I’ve also read this one twice already. The female lead is kinda soft and gets embarrassed easily—not really my type, but the plot is definitely worth reading. Hurry up and read it, y’all!
Intro
When Shen Yuan encountered Su Jin again in his previous life, she had already become the Prime Minister of the current dynasty. As for him, the former top young master of the capital, he had long since fallen into the abyss, becoming a singer on a pleasure boat.
After a song ended, he was redeemed and sent to the Su Residence.
Su Jin respected and cherished him, gave him a roof over his head, and bestowed him with warmth. Shen Yuan fell deeper and deeper, but before he could express his feelings, Su Jin passed away.
Shen Yuan died to follow her in death, but instead, he returned to when he was fifteen years old.
At that time, he was not yet engaged, and Su Jin was just a poor scholar.
Shen Yuan gritted his teeth, casting aside all his pride, and thought of ways to coax and entice her every day.
The colder and more indifferent Su Jin was towards him, the more proactive Shen Yuan became.
He was not afraid of being mocked by the world, only wanting to marry his Wife-master early, to hold her hand and never let go for a lifetime.
[Note: This story will not specifically point out the male lead’s reincarnation time point; it’s all in the details. Whenever you feel that the male lead is acting strangely, he has most likely been reincarnated.]
