Miss Pendleton (Update to C.222 END) - Chapter 45
Miss Pendleton looked at him in surprise.
“You must know that my personality is peculiar and brusque. However, I now want to appear as a good husband to ladies. So, please help me get married, Miss Pendleton. Help me appear attractive to ladies. So that I can marry a lady within this year.”
Miss Pendleton was at a loss for words. Mr. Dalton was asking her to help him find a wife. Was Mr. Dalton deceiving her? Or…
‘Did I really misread his heart in the forest last time?’
Miss Pendleton felt extremely embarrassed. To think that all her efforts to push him away, firmly believing he liked her, stemmed from a misunderstanding. Moreover, he must have noticed her misunderstanding. There had never been such humiliation.
But her emotions quickly regained balance. She knew from experience that the best way to maintain her dignity was to quickly compose herself and act with grace.
“I’m glad you’ve changed your mind positively about marriage, Mr. Dalton. I’ll do my best to help you as much as I can.”
Mr. Dalton finally smiled.
“Thank you, Miss Pendleton.”
“The request you’ve made, Mr. Fairfax had already made in the past. I accepted then and received thanks from Mr. Fairfax, so you owe me no gratitude, Mr. Dalton. I’m glad I can now keep my promise to Mr. Fairfax.”
Miss Pendleton concealed her confused feelings with a dignified appearance. Mr. Dalton spoke with a disinterested demeanor.
“In your opinion, Miss Pendleton, do you think I can return to Whitefield with Mrs. Dalton by this year?”
“Of course. If you wish, you could capture the heart of any lady. Um, how about looking for a wife at Miss Lance’s ball? Or do you already have a woman in mind?”
“Well, I do have one lady in mind, but I’m still approaching her, so I’m not confident.”
Miss Pendleton guessed that the lady in mind might be Miss Lance, but she didn’t show it.

My Ex-Girlfriend Is The Regent In The Female-dominant World (Male lead transmigrates to the matriarchal world)
Two years ago, Gu Sui picked up a homeless woman in ancient costume from the street.
Apart from occasionally claiming to be a princess from a female-dominant country due to illness, her figure, appearance, intelligence, and martial arts skills were impeccable.
Naturally evolving from roommates to girlfriends, as time went on, Gu Sui found it increasingly difficult to tolerate her queen syndrome.
“Mu Jiulu, can you stop controlling me inside and out? Let’s break up.”
Gu Sui made a breakup call, and since then, he couldn’t find any trace of her.
A year later, Gu Sui, who was planning to move, woke up the next day and found himself in a different place.
“Young Master, today is the day you choose your Wife-master through martial arts competition at Jade Dew Pavilion. Please get up quickly.”
Gu Sui: Who am I? Where am I? What am I doing?
As the only son of a general’s mansion in a female-dominant dynasty, the young empress personally issued a decree allowing Gu Sui to select his Wife-master through martial arts competition. Whoever could defeat him could marry him.
Gu Sui: “……”
He didn’t inherit the original owner’s martial prowess, so anyone could defeat him! And what the hell is a Wife-master?
Forced to come to Jade Dew Pavilion, the densely packed women below made Gu Sui’s agoraphobia act up, and his face was full of resistance.
Until he saw the Regent sitting on the second floor, with a smile on the corner of her lips, her eyes wicked and nonchalant.
Hmm… she looked a little familiar.
It turned out that the Regent also found him a little familiar.
Mu Jiulu fiddled with her bone clasp, her deep gaze locked on the man who was out of place in this world.
“Finally, I found you.”

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.
