Miss Pendleton (Update to C.222 END) - Chapter 21
Mr. Fairfax, who was standing nearby, interjected.
“Oh? Miss Pendleton, when Miss Hyde and I were competing, you said a lady should side with a lady, didn’t you?”
Miss Pendleton chuckled softly.
“I know Mr. Dalton’s athletic abilities well. I’m afraid I’m just a materialist who can’t help but side with the advantageous party.”
“Ah, so Miss Pendleton was underestimating my skills too! You thought Miss Hyde would defeat me! Hey, Ian. Go on! Go and restore my honor!”
“Ridiculous.”
Mr. Dalton muttered as he picked up a stone from the ground. Then, tossing and catching it like Miss Hyde had done, he asked.
“First?”
“You go ahead.”
Mr. Dalton thought it had been quite a while as he leaned to one side. Then he swung his arm and threw the stone towards the river.
Plop, plop, plop, plop, plop.
The sound of the stone bouncing on the water surface continued for a while. Miss Pendleton, who had the best eyesight among them, narrowed her eyes and counted.
“…Thirty-seven, thirty-eight… Wow, thirty-eight!”
Miss Pendleton clapped her hands and exclaimed towards him.
“Amazing! Thirty-eight times is a record! You’re not just a local representative, Mr. Dalton, you’re a national representative!”
My Step-brother Is Obsessed With Me (Female-dominant)
A gentle female protagonist vs pitiful in the early stage, and a sick male protagonist in the later stage
Cheng Songer transmigrated into the body of a vicious cannon fodder female supporting character with the same name as her in a female-dominant novel.
In the original story, the cannon fodder female supporting character was inhumane, committing domestic violence, gambling excessively, being lustful, and even wanting to sell her stepbrother to a brothel for money.
As luck would have it, she just happened to transmigrate at this time.
Seeing Cheng Qingzhi biting his lip, enduring the tears in his eyes, looking pitiful, her heart softened.
She stuffed the money back into the Madam’s hand and reached out to him.
“Brother, come home with me.”
It is so heartbreaking that Laura went through all the terrible things since her childhood.
It’s progressing a bit slowly, but nicely… I hope there won’t be unnecessary distances between them due to misunderstandings.
I think this trip to Bath will be good to Laura. Meeting these women will inspire her to be more confident. I just hope her ex and Mr. Dalton don’t ruin it.
