Miss Pendleton (Update to C.222 END) - Chapter 27
Looking back, she was a remarkably rational person. While she valued harmony and trust between men and women, she did not overly rely on the power of love. During our conversation in the forest, she clearly stated that a marriage without the right conditions would never bring happiness.
She must have rejected me from the start, conscious of her dowry or parental issues.
From his perspective, it was incomprehensible. Why should that be a problem? Even if she had no dowry, he already had plenty of money. He was earning more than enough through estate revenues and business ventures without needing to attract money through marriage.
The parental issue was the same. Whether she was a commoner or how her parents came together was none of his concern. Was she worried about the surrounding whispers? Afraid of damaging my reputation? But he was already not well-spoken of due to his own personality.
Everyone who needed to know was aware that Ian Dalton, the landlord of Whitefield, was an impolite and difficult man. What great impact would it have to add a wife with commoner blood to that?
He imagined pouring out these thoughts to her, trying to persuade her. She would surely listen to his story calmly. If he spoke ill of himself, she would shake her head, and if he made reasonable arguments, she would nod.
As always, she would fix her serious gray eyes on him and understand his thoughts one by one. With the seriousness and intelligence he loved most among Miss Pendleton’s virtues.
But in the end, if he were to attempt his failed proposal again, she would…
She would shake her head.
‘Damn it.’
He took another deep drag of smoke to soothe his burning feelings.
Despite her warm heart, she was a person faithful to her principles. No matter how much he persuaded, pleaded, and eventually lost his temper in his typical fashion, she wouldn’t bat an eye. Indecisiveness did not exist in her. Her thoughts were an even greater obstacle than her emotions.
But he couldn’t give up on her either. In his thirty years of life, this was the first time he had felt the desire to marry someone.
If he lost her, he would probably never feel this way again. Then he would become the unmarried man without an heir that those around him so feared. He had little desire for an heir, so he had no intention of forcibly marrying an unwanted woman just to have children.
He thought as he stubbed out his cigarette.
Male lead is reincarnated to save his wife
I’ve also read this one twice already. The female lead is kinda soft and gets embarrassed easily—not really my type, but the plot is definitely worth reading. Hurry up and read it, y’all!
Intro
When Shen Yuan encountered Su Jin again in his previous life, she had already become the Prime Minister of the current dynasty. As for him, the former top young master of the capital, he had long since fallen into the abyss, becoming a singer on a pleasure boat.
After a song ended, he was redeemed and sent to the Su Residence.
Su Jin respected and cherished him, gave him a roof over his head, and bestowed him with warmth. Shen Yuan fell deeper and deeper, but before he could express his feelings, Su Jin passed away.
Shen Yuan died to follow her in death, but instead, he returned to when he was fifteen years old.
At that time, he was not yet engaged, and Su Jin was just a poor scholar.
Shen Yuan gritted his teeth, casting aside all his pride, and thought of ways to coax and entice her every day.
The colder and more indifferent Su Jin was towards him, the more proactive Shen Yuan became.
He was not afraid of being mocked by the world, only wanting to marry his Wife-master early, to hold her hand and never let go for a lifetime.
[Note: This story will not specifically point out the male lead’s reincarnation time point; it’s all in the details. Whenever you feel that the male lead is acting strangely, he has most likely been reincarnated.]

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.
