Miss Pendleton (Update to C.222 END) - Chapter 135
He was noble from birth. The legitimate heir of a family spanning eight generations. A cultured gentleman who followed the classic elite path of public school and Cambridge, a respected landowner in his hometown. Compared to him, I am a insignificant man. Of humble origin, with no inherited wealth. Half of my success was built by Mrs. Granchard and my father-in-law. No matter how capable I am, without their introductions to major cases, I would have been just another mediocre lawyer.
“I don’t understand why you lack such confidence. Your reputation as a skilled lawyer is renowned throughout England.”
“Having only skill is my lifelong inferiority. In today’s English society, is it even conceivable for a lawyer to rise from nothing? I am destined to be dragged around by the leash of the powerful my entire life.”
He clasped his hands as if in prayer.
“The thought of competing with that man makes the inferiority within me rage wildly. I’m ashamed. I should have been honest with you, at least. I shouldn’t have caused you another wound. I’m sorry, Laura. Forget everything I said. Even my courtship.”
Laura turned to him. Their eyes met in the air. His gaze was lonely.
“From the moment I first saw you, I loved you. I love you now. And I will love you forever. But I will abandon the hope of winning you back. Ian Dalton is an excellent husband. Marry him.”
“Didn’t you say it was a marriage beneath your class?”
He gave a wry smile.
“That was ridiculous nonsense. The man who earns your choice is blessed by God’s grace. Ian Dalton is one of the few men worthy of that blessing. He loves you deeply. He would give his life for you.”
Laura lowered her eyes.
“Now is not the time for such talk.”
He stared at the fireplace, then stood and approached Laura. Standing right in front of her, he looked down at her.
“Laura, do you remember the day we first met?”
He knelt on one knee and gently took her hands.
Ex-husband Wants Reconciliation
One-line summary: Chasing the wife to the crematorium (making an effort to attract someone who has become indifferent), the female lead doesn’t look back, the second male lead takes the position.
Intro:
To repay the kindness of the older generation, Su Mu crossed into a female-dominated world and became a live-in daughter-in-law of the Yan family, single-handedly saving the Yan family from fire and water.
But her husband, Yan Jiyue, the eldest son of the Yan family, treated her with sarcasm and never showed her a good face.
It wasn’t until after Su Mu’s death that this pampered and arrogant young master shed a few fake tears and pretended to want to die for love.
This life’s kindness was enough. If there was a next life, she would definitely kick Yan Jiyue away.
Who knew that the heavens would be so kind as to allow her to be reborn, returning to the time when she had just married into the Yan family.
Su Mu glanced at the Yan eldest son, who still spoke coldly to her, and threw a divorce letter in front of him.
“Let’s divorce!”
***
Yan Jiyue never imagined that he would be reborn. He happily went to find Su Mu, wanting to make up for the mistakes he had made in his ignorant youth.
Wasn’t the reason the heavens allowed him to be reborn to let him reconcile with Su Mu?
But when he pushed open the door to Su Mu’s room, the person lying on the bed was another man.
Su Mu’s personal attendant, Xie Yi.
Yan Jiyue hated him so much that his teeth itched. In front of Su Mu, Xie Yi was a gentle and considerate whisperer of sweet nothings, but in reality, he was vicious-hearted and deliberately sabotaged their husband and wife relationship.
In the previous life, it was he who secretly hid in Su Mu’s coffin and committed suicide, stealing a step ahead of him to be buried with Su Mu.
Yan Jiyue’s eyes were filled with hatred as he cursed, “What kind of thing are you? Your background is lowly, what right do you have to occupy Su Mu?”
Xie Yi looked at the sleeping Su Mu and no longer pretended to be a whisperer of sweet nothings.
He proudly stuck out his belly, “I have the right because my belly is capable of giving the Wife-master a daughter.”
***
Yan Jiyue was consumed with jealousy. He spread rumors that Xie Yi had once been branded with the mark of a “harlot” on his chest.
But on the night Xie Yi cut off the flesh bearing that mark, Su Mu suddenly realized something was amiss.
“How did you know the exact moment I was poisoned? And why did you show up a month early?”
Xie Yi remained silent, blood from his wound soaking through his robes. His sapphire eyes brimmed with anguish – or was it just a flawless act?
Between a once-arrogant husband now seeking redemption, and a gentle soul willing to die for her – who truly held the darkest secrets? And could it be that Su Mu and Yan Jiyue weren’t the only ones given a second chance at life…?

Such thoughts made him feel not thirty-one, but sixty-one. The lethargy he felt
Only a young man who has experienced the hardest side of falling in love knows the danger of that love ending in separation.
He rubbed his cheek against her small hand.
he’s seriously acting too cute, they are an adorable couple (^o^)/
“I need to confirm she’s human.”
lol Ian with his imagination. Maybe he had read too much novel when he was young 😂
