Miss Pendleton (Update to C.222 END) - Chapter 161
The faint sunlight streaming through the curtains was helpful. Laura could see. The hollowed-out eyes. The pale, gaunt face.
“You’ve had it rough. As much as I have.”
Laura’s heart ached. She wanted nothing more than to throw her arms around him right then and there. But she didn’t want to wake him. It was clear he hadn’t slept well last night.
“My love. My Ian. You may not care, but some people in this world still think our marriage is improper. That I’ll ruin you and the Dalton family. I don’t care what happens to me, but I wanted to protect the name of Ian Dalton, the landowner. A refined, moral, truly respectable gentleman. That’s the real you. That’s why I was so defensive. I’ve always been shy, but I reacted twice as sensitively because of that. It was never because I disliked you… I’m sorry. It was all for your sake, but I never imagined it would make things this hard for us…”
Laura gently wiped the tears welling in her eyes and shifted her gaze to the side. He was clutching something tightly to his chest with both hands.
“Did this bring you comfort?”
Laura quietly peered at what he held. The light was dim, so it wasn’t clear, but it looked like a piece of black fabric.
Laura lightly brushed her fingertips over the end of the fiber dangling from his arm.
It was moderately thick wool. The surface was rough, like sandpaper. It was cheap fabric, the kind someone as wealthy as Ian would never wear in his life.
Laura tilted her head and turned her gaze back to Ian’s face.
Ian’s sleeping face was both pitiful and endearing. He looked like a child who had cried himself to sleep searching for his mother. Laura couldn’t resist the urge to kiss him.
“When you wake up, I can do it as much as I want. Just wait a little. Just a little…”
“Mmm…”
Ian let out a soft breath and stirred. Laura flinched slightly but pressed her lips together, staying silent.
A long, sigh-like exhale followed. His breath carried a strong scent of mint.
Male lead first thought she played hard to get, only to realize she
really disliked him
Short intro:
What she can’t stand the most is the streets full of effeminate men, especially that so-called top beauty whom she avoids at all costs.
Shen Yaoxing looks at Jiang Mingyue, who keeps approaching her with coy shyness.
Shen Yaoxing: Bro, don’t be like this, I’m really about to throw up!
She fears nothing in heaven or earth, except for him getting close to her.
*
At first he thought she was just using the trick of feigning indifference to attract his attention. Later, he learned that she truly despised him.
This dealt a heavy blow to Jiang Mingyue, and he vowed to make her, like everyone else, fall at his feet in worship!
