Miss Pendleton (Update to C.222 END) - Chapter 36
“I’m hearing from you the words that men who’ve been rejected in their proposals always say. Well, alright. In fact, it’s not uncommon for gentlemen or ladies to test the waters with marriage talk. But that’s just a shallow trick, and Miss Pendleton is not a lady who would test the heart of the man she loves in such a way. She doesn’t have you in her heart, Ian.”
“I know that. It’s obvious since she won’t meet me at all after that incident.”
William sighed.
So that’s why Miss Pendleton has been smiling awkwardly and trying to change the subject whenever Ian’s name comes up lately.
“I think your priority should be to restore your friendship with Miss Pendleton first. If you start over as friends, you might get a chance to win her heart.”
“I agree, William. But I can’t leave that old man alone. I have to get rid of him somehow. If not with a gun, then by some other means.”
“Ian, it’s true that the current situation is unpleasant for Miss Pendleton. However, I think we should let Miss Pendleton resolve things with that man on her own.”
“What?”
Ian looked at his friend with fierce eyes again. But William remained calm.
“Miss Pendleton is an excellent lady, but objectively speaking, she lacks in birth and fortune. In a position without the protection of a family head, it seems like one could trifle with her without much consequence. It’s unfortunate, but most people see it that way.”
“…”
“I heard that after her debut, numerous unworthy men flocked around her. They kept coming even after she passed the prime marriage age. Some, like Mr. Price, wanting to make her their second wife might even be considered decent, while others wanted to make her their mistress or just play around with her as a lover. Disgusting creatures.”
As he listened, a thin vein bulged on Ian’s forehead.
“But Miss Pendleton has never once fallen for such temptations. She’s always cut them off so cleanly that these unworthy men have retreated, crawling away. I think this time will be the same; she won’t succumb to external pressure and accept Mr. Price’s proposal. Ian, Miss Pendleton will be able to handle Mr. Price on her own.”
“…So you’re saying I should do nothing and just watch from the sidelines.”
Male lead first thought she played hard to get, only to realize she
really disliked him
Short intro:
What she can’t stand the most is the streets full of effeminate men, especially that so-called top beauty whom she avoids at all costs.
Shen Yaoxing looks at Jiang Mingyue, who keeps approaching her with coy shyness.
Shen Yaoxing: Bro, don’t be like this, I’m really about to throw up!
She fears nothing in heaven or earth, except for him getting close to her.
*
At first he thought she was just using the trick of feigning indifference to attract his attention. Later, he learned that she truly despised him.
This dealt a heavy blow to Jiang Mingyue, and he vowed to make her, like everyone else, fall at his feet in worship!

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.
