Miss Pendleton (Update to C.222 END) - Chapter 35
He called Ramswick 5 minutes later. As soon as Ramswick entered, he ordered him to immediately summon the land agent who had interviewed yesterday.
The land agent arrived at Whitefield that evening. He was a short, pudgy man in his 40s with drooping bags under his eyes.
Ramswick had already caught a strong whiff of con man from his oily speech and sycophantic attitude during the previous interview. He wondered why the master had called this man back as he escorted the land agent to the office.
It was two hours later when Ramswick was summoned to the office. When Ramswick entered, Ian referred to the man as the new land agent and told Ramswick to assist him from now on.
Ramswick was greatly surprised. As it turned out, Ian had been handing over responsibilities to him for two hours.
Ian told Ramswick to call for a carriage immediately, and with a small travel bag that he had ordered a servant to pack at some point, he departed for the station to take the train.
Watching the carriage kick up dust as it drove away, Ramswick and the servants couldn’t help but wonder what on earth had happened in London.
Thanks to the night train service, he was able to arrive in London by the next morning. Ian immediately hired a private carriage in front of the station.
The carriage soon stopped in front of the Fairfax siblings’ townhouse. Ian paid the fare, got out with his bag, and went straight to knock on the door. The servant who opened the front door was visibly startled to see who had knocked.
My, they hadn’t received any word that the master of Whitefield, Mr. Dalton, would be coming!
Ian strode in, handed his travel bag to other equally surprised servants, and asked for William. The servants informed him that he was in the drawing room. Ian instructed them to take the bag to the guest room and went straight to the drawing room.
In the drawing room, the Fairfax siblings were enjoying a cozy time after finishing breakfast. Miss Janet was playing the piano while William sat on the sofa reviewing documents as he listened to the performance. It was truly a peaceful scene.
But when Ian entered, the leisurely morning atmosphere turned to surprise. Miss Janet stopped playing the piano when she saw him, and Mr. Fairfax dropped the documents he was holding.
Ian nodded lightly to Miss Janet, who had stood up from the piano bench and was curtsying with a flushed face. Then he turned his gaze to William, who looked as if he’d seen a ghost.
“What brings you here? What about the estate?”
Ex-husband Wants Reconciliation
One-line summary: Chasing the wife to the crematorium (making an effort to attract someone who has become indifferent), the female lead doesn’t look back, the second male lead takes the position.
Intro:
To repay the kindness of the older generation, Su Mu crossed into a female-dominated world and became a live-in daughter-in-law of the Yan family, single-handedly saving the Yan family from fire and water.
But her husband, Yan Jiyue, the eldest son of the Yan family, treated her with sarcasm and never showed her a good face.
It wasn’t until after Su Mu’s death that this pampered and arrogant young master shed a few fake tears and pretended to want to die for love.
This life’s kindness was enough. If there was a next life, she would definitely kick Yan Jiyue away.
Who knew that the heavens would be so kind as to allow her to be reborn, returning to the time when she had just married into the Yan family.
Su Mu glanced at the Yan eldest son, who still spoke coldly to her, and threw a divorce letter in front of him.
“Let’s divorce!”
***
Yan Jiyue never imagined that he would be reborn. He happily went to find Su Mu, wanting to make up for the mistakes he had made in his ignorant youth.
Wasn’t the reason the heavens allowed him to be reborn to let him reconcile with Su Mu?
But when he pushed open the door to Su Mu’s room, the person lying on the bed was another man.
Su Mu’s personal attendant, Xie Yi.
Yan Jiyue hated him so much that his teeth itched. In front of Su Mu, Xie Yi was a gentle and considerate whisperer of sweet nothings, but in reality, he was vicious-hearted and deliberately sabotaged their husband and wife relationship.
In the previous life, it was he who secretly hid in Su Mu’s coffin and committed suicide, stealing a step ahead of him to be buried with Su Mu.
Yan Jiyue’s eyes were filled with hatred as he cursed, “What kind of thing are you? Your background is lowly, what right do you have to occupy Su Mu?”
Xie Yi looked at the sleeping Su Mu and no longer pretended to be a whisperer of sweet nothings.
He proudly stuck out his belly, “I have the right because my belly is capable of giving the Wife-master a daughter.”
***
Yan Jiyue was consumed with jealousy. He spread rumors that Xie Yi had once been branded with the mark of a “harlot” on his chest.
But on the night Xie Yi cut off the flesh bearing that mark, Su Mu suddenly realized something was amiss.
“How did you know the exact moment I was poisoned? And why did you show up a month early?”
Xie Yi remained silent, blood from his wound soaking through his robes. His sapphire eyes brimmed with anguish – or was it just a flawless act?
Between a once-arrogant husband now seeking redemption, and a gentle soul willing to die for her – who truly held the darkest secrets? And could it be that Su Mu and Yan Jiyue weren’t the only ones given a second chance at life…?
