Miss Pendleton (Update to C.222 END) - Chapter 31
Miss Pendleton rested her chin on her hand for a moment, looking down at the letter, lost in thought. Then, after a while, she stood up and headed to the second floor.
When Miss Pendleton opened her grandmother’s door, the dim room’s scene came into view at once. Grandmother was lying in bed, stroking the cat Annie while listening to a sonnet read by the maid. Recently, Mrs. Abigail’s health had deteriorated significantly, and she spent all her time like this, unable to even sit up properly.
Miss Pendleton first sent the maid out and then briefly explained the contents of the letter from her uncle.
“So, Mr. Price is Gerald’s friend?”
“Yes.”
“And Gerald is coming to London with Charles? Visiting this townhouse?”
Miss Pendleton nodded.
Grandmother was silent for a moment. Miss Pendleton stood there, her heart pounding, afraid that her grandmother might burst into anger at any moment. However, Mrs. Abigail said something Miss Pendleton had never imagined.
“Prepare the best guest room. And instruct the servants to treat them with utmost respect.”
Miss Pendleton’s eyes widened in surprise. The words that continued to come from her grandmother’s mouth were a series of shocks.
“And for now, we must treat Mr. Price with great hospitality. Send a dinner invitation and tell Mr. Germain to show off his skills. A friend of the head of the family deserves to be welcomed properly in this house.”
Mrs. Abigail noticed her granddaughter’s bewilderment. She extended her hand to Miss Pendleton. It was a gesture to come closer. Miss Pendleton went to sit beside her grandmother. And she took her grandmother’s hand. Grandmother caressed her granddaughter’s hand.
“Are my words perplexing?”
“…Yes.”
“And you must hate it? Being told to treat Gerald, who tormented you so much, with such hospitality.”
When yandere male lead believes she loves him — but she never did
“How dare you!”
“How dare you make me love you, only to cast me aside as nothing more than a friend?!?
“I will never accept that.”
“I will never let you return to him.”
“Even if I have to burn myself to ashes.”
“Even if I must shatter my purity, my dignity, my very soul.”
“I will never let you escape me!”
This was the first novel that introduced me to the matriarchal genre. I’ve read it three times already!
At first, the male lead despised the female lead. Later, he misunderstood that she liked him, so he condescendingly and reluctantly reciprocated her feelings.
Then, he suddenly discovered that she was kind to everyone in the same way, and there was already someone she cherished in her heart, and that person was not him.
The male lead couldn’t believe it, he became angry and crazy. He was determined to capture her body and heart by any means necessary.
Synopsis:
Want to see how a green tea bitch male lead falls in love with the female lead?
Want to see how he flirtatiously pursues the female lead?
Want to see how he gets slapped in the face repeatedly?
The male lead is a green tea bitch, a poisonous lotus, jealous, ruthless, unscrupulous, with a venomous heart, and he’s also a delusional maniac.
The female lead is righteous, positive energy-filled, kind, a holy mother.
Let’s see how two people with extreme personalities come together~

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.
