Miss Pendleton (Update to C.222 END) - Chapter 169
It was more than a year ago, but the memory felt as vivid as if it could be grasped. A sudden downpour in the forest, unprepared, and Ian had placed his jacket over her head, leading her down this path as they ran together toward the chestnut grove.
“The coat was large enough to cover down to my hips. He held my shoulders tightly. Even in that urgent moment, my heart felt like it would burst. Being so close to him was thrilling.”
Back then, she thought it was just her one-sided love, but looking back, he had already loved her. His jacket, the arms that held her close—all of it was love.
Laura passed through the gate. The fence she once had to climb over with effort was now wide open, as if welcoming her.
After passing two springs, the chestnut grove came into view. Laura’s steps slowed to a stop.
The forest, which should have been dark as night under the dense canopy of leaves, was as bright as a dance stage beneath a chandelier.
Lamps hung in rows on the trees lining the path.
Her nose stung with emotion.
“Ian.”
He had dug up the ground, laid bricks, and hung lamps on every tree. For her. So that his wife, walking this path, wouldn’t hurt her feet or fear the dark.
Laura stepped slowly into the forest. Thanks to the lamplight, she could see not only her footing but thirty steps ahead.
“I think I know where this is. The cabin where we took shelter from the rain. That’s where it must be.”
Laura was certain.
“It was a meaningful place. Sitting side by side, listening to the rain, talking about this and that. Come to think of it, that’s when he gave me the shawl.”
Laura smiled softly. To think she still had that shawl, cherished so carefully. She couldn’t help but find her husband utterly endearing.

When Yu Shu was diagnosed with pregnancy, Yan Jin stared at his belly for a long time.
Covering his stomach, he muttered gloomily, “If you don’t like it, I’ll go get an abortion.”
“It’s not that I don’t like it.” Yan Jin hugged Yu Shu and said softly, “I just feel like I’m not human.”
