Miss Pendleton (Update to C.222 END) - Chapter 46
Miss Pendleton nodded. Uncle went “Hmm” and looked down at Miss Pendleton.
“Why?”
“I don’t want to be his wife.”
“Why?”
“I can’t feel anything for him except proper respect for an elder.”
Gerald Pendleton looked at his niece’s face. Eyes, nose, mouth, cheeks, ears, hair – all of it thoroughly. As if examining an object. Miss Pendleton felt something like humiliation from her uncle’s gaze but quietly endured it.
Finally, her uncle spoke.
“I can understand why you feel vanity every time you look in the mirror, but it’s not good to measure yourself too much. You’re an illegitimate child with no dowry. As I said before, if you’re expecting something from me, you’d better wake up from that dream.”
Miss Pendleton spoke while maintaining her composure as much as possible.
“Don’t worry. I’ve never expected such things.”
“Then why don’t you accept Tom’s proposal?”
Miss Pendleton shook her head.
“That’s my private matter. I have no obligation to explain it to you.”
“How insolent.”
“I’m sorry, Uncle,”
My Step-brother Is Obsessed With Me (Female-dominant)
A gentle female protagonist vs pitiful in the early stage, and a sick male protagonist in the later stage
Cheng Songer transmigrated into the body of a vicious cannon fodder female supporting character with the same name as her in a female-dominant novel.
In the original story, the cannon fodder female supporting character was inhumane, committing domestic violence, gambling excessively, being lustful, and even wanting to sell her stepbrother to a brothel for money.
As luck would have it, she just happened to transmigrate at this time.
Seeing Cheng Qingzhi biting his lip, enduring the tears in his eyes, looking pitiful, her heart softened.
She stuffed the money back into the Madam’s hand and reached out to him.
“Brother, come home with me.”
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.
