Miss Pendleton (Update to C.222 END) - Chapter 222 (END)
‘As you respect me, I love you deeply, Ann.’
It was a heartfelt confession, shy to voice aloud. Laura, instead, tilted Ann’s head toward her, letting it rest on her shoulder.
“To think someone would say such words to me. I haven’t lived in vain.”
Ann rubbed her cheek against Laura’s shoulder, affirming with the gesture.
“So, Ann, are you happy?”
Laura asked lightly, expecting a clear affirmation.
Ann had no reason to be unhappy. She was married to the man she loved. The early days of marriage were tough, but now their household was thriving enough to employ two servants. Plus, she was young and healthy. Nothing seemed capable of bringing Ann misfortune.
Yet, Ann remained silent.
Laura lowered her head to check Ann’s face. Ann’s expression seemed slightly dazed.
“Ann?”
Ann closed her eyes. Laura’s heart began to pound with unease.
“Is something wrong?”
“…….”
“Tell me, Ann. If there’s anything I can help with, I will.”
“……Miss.”
After Being Cheated On, She Picked Up a Treasure (Female-dominant)
One-line summary: The husband I married on a whim had been secretly in love with me for a long time.
On the day when Jun Shao finally obtained the imperial decree for her marriage, Lan Qu, the person she had admired for six years, defied the decree and ran away.
Her gentleness and devotion, her promise of a lifetime together, were all disregarded by him. Instead, he dreamed of entering the palace to serve the Emperor’s sister as a sixth-rank attendant.
News of this incident spread throughout the capital, and the alleys in front of and behind the Lan mansion were crowded with people who came to watch the commotion.
Jun Shao should have been embarrassed and angry.
But someone stepped in to protect her dignity.
The figure was in a miserable state, yet still possessed an undeniable elegance and handsomeness.
The young lord struggled to climb the wall of the Lan mansion and shouted to her, “If he won’t marry you, I will!”
So, Jun Shao took advantage of the situation and married the person.
She thought the young lord did it to save the Lan family from the crime of defying the imperial decree, but never imagined that from beginning to end, what he coveted was her.
*
After the wedding, Jun Shao felt like she was living in a dream.
Her Wife-master was as beautiful as a fairy in a painting, skilled in the six arts, well-versed in poetry and literature, capable of being gentle and attentive, and also grand and dignified. Most importantly, she was the only one in his heart and eyes.
Jun Shao didn’t know how Lan Shiwu, as a illegitimate son without a father and blessed with beauty, had managed to preserve his purity, recklessly escape, and use his last ounce of strength to ruin his own reputation, all because of his love for her, just to stand before her.
She could only see him gazing at her with eyes full of love, and when she bestowed a name upon him, his eyes shone like stars.
“You have come to me like a weary bird perching on a branch. I shall call you A Qi.”

It is so heartbreaking that Laura went through all the terrible things since her childhood.
I expect the end will be the story with the development of twins but it ends beautifully with the moment between laura n anne like the start of the story- Wow in the last 3 chapter we got to know about side character’s background stories

Hmm excuse me. Grammar mistake sir. I believe you both only shared “one” so far ;P unfortunately
“Even if it was because I longed to see her, I shouldn’t have followed her.”
Oh now you realise! Ian and Laura are made for each other. In times like this they give me dumb and dumber vibes
Today, a week after settling in the warehouse, Laura Pendleton appeared outside
Hmm Ian, are you sure of what you’re doing? This is called stalking.
