Miss Pendleton (Update to C.222 END) - Chapter 175
“Excessive kindness, isn’t it?”
“It’s only natural. If someone is precious to him, they’re precious to me too. If he loves them, I love them too. If they’re his child, they’re my child as well.”
“You really love my uncle, don’t you?”
“More than myself. All my blood and flesh belong to him.”
“…Aunt.”
“Yes?”
“If we are to live like mother and son, isn’t there something we shouldn’t just brush aside?”
“…”
Laura realized he was referring to their first meeting under the maple tree. If possible, it was an incident she would rather bury and live on from. Considering their relationship, it was an embarrassing mishap for both of them.
But, as Henry said, if they were to grow close like mother and son, they would need to address it properly and move forward.
Henry let out a small sigh.
“When we first met in front of the maple tree, I never imagined you were Mrs. Dalton, Aunt. How could I? I knew you were around the same age as my uncle, and the translation of Nouvelle Héloïse he sent me before was smoother and more accurate than any English translation I’d ever read. In my mind, I pictured an intellectual, mature middle-aged woman. Not the young lady standing on tiptoes to break a branch under the maple tree.”
“…”
“It was the same when we faced each other. You looked no older than twenty-two at most. So, I couldn’t hide my instincts as an unmarried man and made a foolish move. When my uncle appeared and I realized the lady before me was my aunt, I was so ashamed I wanted to die. I thought I’d never be able to face him comfortably again.”
Henry paused. They stood facing each other under the sunlight.
Cold Male Lead Became My Clingy Husband (Female-Dominant)
Feng Bai Su transmigrated into a matriarchal novel, becoming the sister of the female protagonist and the Seventh Princess of the Feng Ling Kingdom.
After working herself to death in her previous life, finally reincarnating as a princess, she only wanted to be a lazy fish who could eat, sleep, and play.
Until she met the male protagonist from the book, Wei Jing Mo, and he took a liking to her!
Wei Jing Mo is the top young man in Feng Ling City, talented in both appearance and ability, from a prestigious family, with a cold and otherworldly appearance, a figure like the bright moon in the hearts of noble ladies. It was thought that only the most powerful and talented noble lady in Feng Ling City would be worthy of such a brilliant young man. Who knew that this young gentleman would secretly admire the infamous Seventh Princess?
Short scene 1:
Feng Bai Su looked at the young man crying like a pear blossom in the rain before her, and couldn’t help but doubt her life.
Wasn’t the male lead described as a cold and otherworldly figure in the book?
Then who was this poor little thing crying with swollen red eyes and tear-stained face?
Short scene 2:
Wei Jing Mo stared intently at Feng Bai Su who was about to go out, wanting to say, “Be careful on the road.”
Before he could speak, Feng Bai Su suddenly bent down and bit his cheek.
Her peach blossom eyes were full of disdain: “Tsk! You’re so clingy!”
Wei Jing Mo: “…”
A talented fox spirit female lead with a flirtatious appearance but actually abstinent VS A cold-looking but actually naive and clingy little jealous male lead
