Miss Pendleton (Update to C.222 END) - Chapter 44
Soon, the two approached their group arm in arm. The ladies all stood up and curtsied. Ian Dalton, who had taken off his hat and bowed politely, immediately spotted Miss Pendleton. He stared at Miss Pendleton intently for a moment. But he quickly averted his gaze and gave a slight nod.
“It’s been a while, Miss Pendleton.”
Miss Pendleton smiled slightly. And she quickly introduced Miss Jensen to him.
“This is Miss Joan Jensen. She is engaged to my cousin Charles Pendleton. She is the goddaughter of my uncle’s friend, Mr. Price.”
He looked at Miss Jensen for a moment at the mention of ‘Price’. And he looked at Miss Pendleton with an incomprehensible expression. But that expression passed so quickly that Miss Pendleton didn’t notice.
Sir Dalton greeted Miss Jensen gruffly and looked over Miss Lance and her friends.
“I’ve been looking for you ladies. May I join you?”
The ladies all agreed. Sir Dalton joined the ladies’ seats.
After he joined, the center of conversation was Miss Lance and Sir Dalton. The atmosphere was such that Miss Lance’s three friends were directing the conversation to the two of them.
Sir Dalton occasionally turned his attention to Miss Lance’s three friends, Miss Pendleton, and Miss Jensen, but mainly conversed with Miss Lance. It was not deliberately excluding the other ladies, but rather not going against the flow.
That was fortunate for Miss Pendleton as well. She was quite flustered as soon as she encountered Ian Dalton. She had expected to meet him again someday, but hadn’t anticipated it would be so sudden.
She had worried that his feelings might remain the same when they met again. However, Sir Dalton’s current behavior immediately dispelled her concerns. He showed little interest in her.
But he didn’t seem to be deliberately ignoring her either. He didn’t seem angry or holding back his emotions towards her. He appeared quite at ease.
‘Why? He seemed about to propose in the forest…’
At first she suspected he might be acting due to the incident in the forest last time, but Miss Pendleton soon became ashamed of that suspicion. His behavior was natural. The only difference from before was that he now showed his ease towards Miss Lance instead of her.
Top Celebrity Younger Brother Bears Her Child (Female-dominant)
One-line summary: Forced to live stream romance with a top celebrity in a female-dominant world.
Yan Jin transmigrated into a brothel, with a fellow transmigrated junior beside her.
Hearing the obscene words coming from outside, the unfortunate junior covered his ears tightly, his cheeks flushed red, and whispered to comfort her, “Don’t worry, I will definitely help you escape.”
“Don’t worry, I will definitely defend your chastity.” Yan Jin looked at the flawless and delicate features of the unfortunate junior and gently comforted, “Because we have transmigrated into a female-dominant world.”

Top celebrity Yu Shu suddenly fell into a coma during a concert.
Research scientist Yan Jin fainted in the lab after working overtime.
Two people with no connection were rushed to the same hospital.
Three days later, neither of them had woken up.
Suddenly, the entire nation discovered that a live streaming app had been forcibly installed on their phones.
Upon opening it, they heard the two discussing how to escape from the brothel.
The entire internet was in an uproar.
After the two successfully escaped from the brothel, Yu Shu’s fan group rushed to make a banner and sent it to the hospital overnight.
“Big sister bravely took action to defend the chastity of our idol!”

When Yu Shu was diagnosed with pregnancy, Yan Jin stared at his belly for a long time.
Covering his stomach, he muttered gloomily, “If you don’t like it, I’ll go get an abortion.”
“It’s not that I don’t like it.” Yan Jin hugged Yu Shu and said softly, “I just feel like I’m not human.”
Yu Shu comforted Yan Jin, “I was already an adult when we got together.”
Yan Jin hesitated, “But you won’t be of legal marriageable age even after giving birth to the child.”
At the same time, a flood of bullet comments appeared in the live streaming room that the two couldn’t see.
[Although it’s inappropriate, I also want a young and handsome boyfriend to have my child.]
①Male pregnancy (highlighted)
The female lead is five years older than the male lead, and the male lead is already an adult when he appears.
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.
Each chapter leaves me in suspense for the future. Although the readers are given assurance from Laura’s feelings since the carriage kiss, I can’t help but doubt the next steps for this couple! Ian’s feeling are deep and tumultuous like waves against a cliff. I can only hope that when the two finally meet, he will remain level headed.
