Miss Pendleton (Update to C.222 END) - Chapter 141
I will pray with all my might that my albatross may fly far, far away, uncaught by human nets, unharmed in its wings, to places no woman, no human has ever reached. You are a symbol of a changing world. I wish for your success. I hope that, seeing you, many women in this world will escape their cages. I sincerely hope so.
Miss Jane Hyde bowed her head and began to weep. Laura Pendleton patted her shoulder, comforting her.
When Miss Jane Hyde finally stopped her tears and wiped her face, there was a knock at the door.
“Come in.”
Miss Lotis entered the room, clad in a black fur coat, a black velvet dress, black boots, and a black Russian fur hat.
In her hands were a cake box and a paper envelope.
“I bring glad tidings. The contract with Delson Publishing has been secured. We got a splendid advance. They were quite boastful, saying it’s the largest advance since their founding. We leave this country in March. Now, let’s have a Christmas party and a celebration combined!”
Before Laura could offer congratulations, Miss Jane Hyde burst into tears with a wail, throwing her arms around Miss Pendleton.
Laura patted Miss Jane Hyde’s back, glancing at Miss Lotis. Rumor had it that Miss Lotis’s jealousy was formidable.
But Miss Lotis only clicked her tongue, as if she had expected this.
“My love is such a mama’s girl, isn’t she?”

The living room, with its roaring fireplace, was lively, befitting Christmas.
The table was laden with a feast pre-ordered from room service: roast goose, cake, wine, pudding, cookies, and more. Miss Lotis was elated over the contract, while Miss Jane Hyde, drunk, alternated between crying and laughing.
Laura chattered nonstop between them. She tasted the meat and cake Miss Jane Hyde sliced for her, sipped warm wine, and comforted Miss Jane Hyde each time she cried.
Male lead reborn without memories — but he still falls for her.
The person he finds displeasing in this life turns out to be his cherished wife-master in previous life…
Xie Zhi and Fang Xianxing who had known each other for less than three days through a blind date sat in the same car in front of the civil affairs bureau. They had a disagreement and failed to get married.
Xie Zhi immediately took out his phone, slid through his contacts, and randomly selected the next marriage candidate.
The woman snatched his phone and hung up. Looking at his phone wallpaper, she awkwardly changed the subject: “An ancient painting, eh? It looks pretty good, it’s just that the person in the painting looks a bit like me.”
When he heard this, he sarcastically mocked her for being so delusional, completely unaware that, the person in front of him was the reincarnation of Wen Ru, the famous prime minister of Yuan Shun whom he most admired…

Such thoughts made him feel not thirty-one, but sixty-one. The lethargy he felt
