Miss Pendleton (Update to C.222 END) - Chapter 155
The likelihood of there being an issue with Lee is very low. For now, I’ll do everything I can on my end, and if it still doesn’t work out, we can discuss it together.
“…I was thinking about the nursery Lady Star recently decorated. It was so adorable. The forget-me-not patterned wallpaper, the white cradle. And piles of dolls, too. They say she made them all herself.”
“Oliver said she put in a lot of effort.”
“It really looked like it. The baby to be born must surely be one specially loved by God, being born to such an affectionate mother.”
Laura spoke in a light, casual tone, careful not to let her husband detect her true feelings. She tried hard to keep any trace of envy from her voice, maintaining a calm demeanor as if discussing something unrelated to her.
It had been a while since she last used her acting skills, but they hadn’t rusted. Even Ian, sensitive to his wife’s moods, was completely fooled.
Unaware of Laura’s true feelings, Ian found his wife’s delight over mere stuffed dolls and pretty wallpaper utterly endearing.
He pulled Laura by the shoulders, kissed her cheek, and rubbed his nose against the tip of hers, chuckling softly.
“Getting so excited over stuffed dolls, my baby?”
Laura let out a small laugh.
“Yes. I’m thrilled.”
He caressed her cheek, planting soft kisses on it.
“Let’s go to town tomorrow. I’ll buy you a mountain of them.”
“One or two would be nice, but what would we do with a mountain of them?”
“Decorate your study with them. And place them wherever your eyes linger—bedroom, dining room, drawing room, hall, gallery, garden, my office.”
When scheming men desperately battle for her favor in the male harem
This one’s also on my reread list! The rivalry, scheming between the men in the imperial harem are just as intense and thrilling as in classic palace drama novels, where concubines fight to the death. Give it a read, girls! I promise you won’t be disappointed.
Synopsis:
“I am not worthy of her… but I still want to be by her side, even if only as a loyal dog…”
Those were the painful whispers of Yue Guanyi – the proud Crown Prince of the Great Qi, who was torn between deep love and a guilty conscience. Despite holding the supreme power of the Imperial Guard, he still could not forget the dark past when he was sold into a brothel.
Fate played a cruel twist when Qiu Shuzhi – a young female official who had just passed the imperial examinations with top honors – stepped into his life. She did not know that she was the one who had saved him from a tragic fate many years ago. And now, her heart was the target of pursuit for both Yue Guanyi and the powerful Empress Dowager Qin Qing.
While Yue Guanyi only dared to silently care for and protect the one he loved from afar, the Empress Dowager Qin Qing openly expressed his feelings and did not hesitate to take advantage of his power to approach Qiu Shuzhi. The covert struggle between the two most powerful forces in the imperial court began…
