Miss Pendleton (Update to C.222 END) - Chapter 190
Laura tried to treat Henry with the usual warmth of an affectionate aunt. To persuade him to accept her proposed solution, Henry needed to relax and open his heart to her.
Henry sat on the multi-seat sofa next to the single sofa where Laura was seated, close enough to touch if he extended his arm.
It would be better if he sat farther away.
Laura kept her thoughts to herself. She feared Henry might burst into tears again. Once swept away by emotion, Henry could hardly escape the torrent. Today was the day to convince him, so his mood needed to be stable.
She spoke in a light tone.
“Well, Henry, was your journey here smooth?”
“Yes. The roads were a bit muddy, but traveling slowly made it manageable.”
“That’s a relief.”
Laura nodded with a gentle smile. Henry’s gaze, previously fixed on his aunt, shifted toward the fireplace.
“I was so worried after you left. I feared you might have had an accident riding in such a distracted state. You were so heartbroken.”
Henry’s cheeks flushed slightly, likely recalling his sobbing from their last meeting.
“I’m sorry about that time.”
Laura shook her head.
“As I said, I feel responsible for you. We’re family, and family shares and resolves everything together, Henry.”
“No, I shouldn’t have burdened you with my troubles, no matter what. If I’d just kept quiet, everything would’ve been peaceful.”
Male lead is a Divorced Husband
She said to him: “Tell me, what makes you like me? I’ll change it!”
Liu Changning transmigrated into a female cannon fodder character in a female-dominant novel.
After reading the first half of the novel’s plot, the first thing she did upon transmigration was to divorce the Pan Jinlian-style male protagonist she had just married.
She indulged herself, pretending to be ugly and poor.
But as time passed, the way that man looked at her became more and more unusual…
Liu Changning was dumbfounded: Tell me, what makes you like me? I’ll change!
――
This lifetime, Pei Yuanshao was rejected by the same woman twice!
The first time, she drove him away. Forced by the situation, he endured the waves of anger in his heart, yielding and humbling himself.
That person lay slanted on a rocking chair, her sallow face emotionless: “If you don’t want a divorce, go cook!”
Pei Yuanshao’s face was dark and gloomy: “You!”
The second time, after the crisis in Jinling City was resolved, the new emperor sent someone to pick him up. He turned around, stammering: “I… I have to go. If you keep me…”
That person lay on the kang bed, her back to him, as if she had long anticipated this day, crisp and clear: “Goodbye!”
Pei Yuanshao was so angry his fingers trembled: “You… you!”
The mission of family and country made him restrain himself, averting his eyes and turning to leave this broken household.
Two years later, they met again. Seeing her ethereal face, his body shook like a sieve.
“She was originally a ‘she’!”
At the Qionglin Banquet, the top scholar of the imperial examination, a talented person with exceptional speech and conduct, all the unmarried young gentlemen from aristocratic families looked at her with shy and timid eyes.
The peerless imperial official Pei Yuanshao felt the anger in his heart erupt. He pointed at the woman surrounded by the crowd at the Qionglin Banquet, his thin lips slightly curled: “Little sister, I wants that person to be the wife-master of my Mingde Prince Manor.”
