Miss Pendleton (Update to C.222 END) - Chapter 39
Who would be distressed by feelings that are unlikely to be frustrated?
Her reckless belief had an element of vanity in overestimating her own beauty, but it wasn’t entirely baseless delusion. She had learned from her interactions with Miss Janet that Mr. Dalton wasn’t particularly fond of socializing. The fact that he had returned to bustling London must surely be for some purpose.
She thought it must be related to her. Because ever since Ian Dalton returned to London, he had been consistently attending her tea parties.
Since arriving in London, Ian had been visiting Lance’s tea gatherings quite frequently, though not daily, along with Miss Fairfax. He mingled comfortably with the hostess, Miss Lance, and her main tea party members: Miss Susan Donovan, Miss Victoria Wilkes, and Miss Daisy Orson.
The ladies were initially flustered by Mr. Dalton’s frequent appearances at the tea parties, as they had never really associated with him before. However, they soon became captivated by his impeccable manners and gentlemanly kindness, welcoming him gladly.
He was polite to all the ladies, but especially kind to Miss Lance. Although Ian himself wouldn’t have known, this had led to a long-standing speculation among Miss Lance and her friends that he had feelings for Miss Lance. Ian Dalton’s sudden reappearance in London and frequent visits to Miss Lance were enough to turn that speculation into certainty.
Of course, his kindness towards Miss Lance never once exceeded the manners a gentleman would show to a lady in society. His kindness was reasonable and ordinary. But since they had already firmly misunderstood Mr. Dalton’s true intentions, it was perhaps natural that all his actions seemed like affection for Miss Lance.
“Did you hear what he said earlier? ‘I completely agree with you!'”
Miss Victoria Wilkes exclaimed in an excited voice in the drawing room where the four ladies were left alone after Mr. Dalton had left the tea party early.
“He said to Dora, ‘I completely agree with you.’ And he said it three times!”
“Victoria, were you counting all that?”
Miss Lance asked awkwardly.
“Is that the issue? He said he completely agrees with your words.”
“Victoria, what does that even mean? It’s just something people say.”
“Yes, the words themselves might not mean much. But remember the tone. Remember the expression and gestures. That’s what he was saying: ‘My heart belongs entirely to you!’ Dora, didn’t you feel it?”
Male lead is a Love-Obsessed Merman
When he discovers she has gone, he risks everything to pursue her on land, enduring agonizing pain to transform his tail into human legs…
One-line summary: Male lead chases female lead. The male lead’s love is a bit sick, an invincible love brain.
Synopsis
During a voyage at sea, Jiang Yang accidentally captures a merman.
Servant: I heard that mermen are fierce and brutal.
Jiang Yang looks at the merman obediently rubbing her palm like a puppy: “You call this fierce and brutal?”
Servant: I heard that mermen have no human nature.
Jiang Yang looks at the merman with wet puppy eyes, obsessively calling her ‘A Yang’ like a childish infant: “You call this having no human nature?”
With great difficulty, she releases the merman back into the sea and returns to shore.
Who would have thought that in less than half a month, the merman, who should have been freely wandering in the South China Sea, would shed his scales, endure the pain of losing his tail, transform into human legs, and come ashore to find her?
He kneels at her feet, rubbing her palm, with merman tears rolling down: “A Yang, don’t abandon me.”
