Miss Pendleton (Update to C.222 END) - Chapter 145
The ladies standing nearby sighed.
“A woman’s life is but a moment, they say. Just look at those jewels.”
“It’s not the jewels that matter. Her face is positively radiant. She must be dearly loved by her husband.”
“They say he pursued her relentlessly before their marriage. Who would’ve thought we’d see such a thing? I thought Miss Pendleton would remain a spinster forever.”
Among the ladies gathered, one with two unmarried daughters had a bright expression.
“I always thought she was a kind and lovely young lady. She was devoted to caring for her grandmother and helped her friends so much. God has looked kindly upon her and blessed her. Indeed, one must live virtuously.”
“Oh, but when that fellow named Price or something was pestering Miss Pendleton, didn’t you say she was foolish for holding out so haughtily?”
“Well, back then…”
The lady, who had nearly said, ‘I didn’t know my daughters would end up spinsters,’ swallowed her words. Even she felt her true thoughts were rather shallow.
She adjusted her sentiments slightly.
“Back then, I was mistaken. A mother with daughters often becomes foolishly obsessed with marriage. Miss Pendleton—no, Mrs. Dalton—was different from women like us. She always maintained composure regarding marriage. That’s why she met such a fine husband. We should all emulate Mrs. Dalton’s demeanor, especially mothers with daughters. Only then can we raise our daughters with a balanced approach.”
The ladies nodded, but none took the poor mother of spinster daughters’ speech seriously. An unmarried daughter was still a family burden and a mother’s failure.
Just then, the bell attached to the chapel rang, signaling the start of the ceremony.
The guests all took their seats, and soon a pastor in vestments stood at the altar.
The sacred ceremony uniting Mr. William Fairfax and Miss Dora Lance as husband and wife finally began.
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.”
