Miss Pendleton (Update to C.222 END) - Chapter 57
Miss Pendleton returned straight home after her conversation with Miss Lance.
On her way home, she was troubled by the issue of Miss Lance and Mr. Dalton, but soon forgot about it as the carriage entered Grosvenor Street. There was now a bigger problem ahead of her.
Her uncle would surely summon her to his study as soon as she arrived and interrogate her about the marriage matter, and she would have no choice but to tell the truth. What would her uncle say when he heard what she had done today? How would he react?
‘Things might get even worse than yesterday.’
At that thought, her right fingers throbbed. Miss Pendleton stroked her gloved hand and looked out the window.
‘If that happens, I shouldn’t just sit still either. I can’t fight back. I’m sure to lose. But at least I can throw things and run away. Anyway, I won’t be suffering the same thing as yesterday again.’
The carriage stopped in front of the townhouse. Miss Pendleton got out and entered the house. However, the atmosphere inside was quite different from when she had left earlier. The mood was gloomy, and all the servants greeted her with dark faces.
Miss Pendleton asked the maid:
“Did something happen while I was gone?”
“Dr. Webster came, miss.”
“Why did he suddenly… Oh, don’t tell me grandmother…”
“No, miss. She just lost consciousness. Dr. Webster is waiting for you.”
Miss Pendleton hurried upstairs. Inside her grandmother’s room, Dr. Webster and three maids, including Anne, were by her grandmother’s side. Dr. Webster stood up as Miss Pendleton entered.
“Miss Pendleton…”
Miss Pendleton forgot to greet him and examined her grandmother. Her grandmother’s pale face, lying there like a corpse, looked almost like a dead body.
My Arch-enemy Sealed My Memory and Said That He is My Husband
This is an incredibly captivating story that you absolutely shouldn’t miss! I’ll give a brief introduction here, and below you’ll find a detailed synopsis of the plot.
The female lead is a fierce and powerful demon king. The male lead is a once-in-a-millennium celestial lord, admired by the entire cultivation world.
They are equally matched, legendary rivals who have battled for centuries.
In the final duel, the female lead is gravely injured. The male lead saves her, seals her memories, and hides her true identity. He tells her that he is her fiancé. His entire life has been flawless—except for the one thing he never expected, never controlled, and never wanted to control: falling for his greatest enemy. She is his inner demon, his obsession.
When the female lead regains her memories, she is furious at his deception.
She makes his life a living hell.
And somehow, the male lead—possibly a total masochist—doesn’t mind at all. In fact, he’s happy she’s paying attention to him.
Yep, we’re back to my favorite trope: male lead suffering. If you love this kind of story, jump into the pit with me now!!!
Intro
Dong Xia lost her memory.
Her handsome and extremely powerful fiancé Li Qing comforted her: “It’s okay if you can’t remember. I’ll always be with you.”
Everyone thought Dong Xia’s ancestors must have burned incense to get such a perfect fiancé. He was the number one person in the immortal realm, yet he remained chaste and only loved her.
…
The day before marrying her fiancé, Dong Xia finally remembered everything.
She wasn’t suffering from memory loss at all.
Her arch-enemy had made her fake her death, destroyed her cultivation, replaced her memories, and pretended to be her deeply in love fiancé.
No wonder he said, “It’s okay if you can’t remember”!
Dong Xia laughed coldly as she pulled out her long knife: Li Qing, prepare to die 🙂
*
Li Qing, as the supreme being of the immortal realm, was the people’s shining beacon.
The only unknown stain in his life was his affection for Dong Xia, the ruler of the demon realm.
In the final battle of the war between immortals and demons, the sky collapsed and the earth shattered. The ruler of the demon realm was finally slain under the sword of the supreme being of the immortal realm, and everyone in the immortal realm applauded.
The cultivation world lost a ruler of the demon realm.
And in the back mountain of Li Qing’s cave dwelling, he secretly hid away a fiancée.
Notes:
1. The female lead is white on the outside, black on the inside, and the queen of flattery; the male lead repeatedly tests the edge of darkness, a VIP guest at the crematorium.
2. Fantasy cultivation world setting.

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.
