Miss Pendleton (Update to C.222 END) - Chapter 81
Over the past decade or so, I’ve seen countless cases where couples with vast differences in social status or background married and ended up unhappy.It’s truly a regrettable thing.Couples united solely for financial reasons can’t escape regret, but since they had no expectations to begin with, they resign themselves quickly.In contrast, couples who marry purely for love fall apart terribly.With no practical benefits and emotional disappointment piling up, they sink into double heartbreak.In the end, they come to see the person they once loved so dearly as an enemy.
Laura exhaled once and continued.
“Miss Fairfax, if what I’m saying now is unpleasant, feel free to ignore it.But please, just once, remember this when you make the most important decision in your life.And observe those around you.See how happily couples who abandon practical concerns and marry for love alone really live.”
Olivia had never heard Laura express her opinion at such length before.But what was truly surprising was Laura’s demeanor while speaking.Her face was serious, her voice firm, and her gaze calmly settled.There wasn’t a trace of the gentle demeanor she usually displayed.
But having finished stating her opinion, Laura quickly returned to her usual kind teacher self.She smiled and said,
“Now, let’s return to more practical matters.You said earlier you recited French poetry to your friends, didn’t you?Let me hear it too.Pay attention to your pronunciation and breathing.”
Olivia recited the poem as Laura wished and received a few pointers on her delivery.
But Olivia wasn’t really listening to the feedback.In truth, she was lost in other thoughts throughout the recitation.What her teacher had just said kept lingering in her mind.
It was a very practical matter.Realizing how well her teacher grasped the issue, Olivia felt a surge of admiration.
After the lesson with Laura ended, she immediately went straight to her mother and recounted their earlier conversation.
Mrs. Fairfax was about to scold her daughter for meddling in her uncle’s marriage prospects.But when Olivia shared Laura’s perspective, she fell silent.
“Mother, isn’t it amusing?Teacher’s parents were so reckless they eloped to have her, yet she holds the complete opposite view.What’s that called again?Irony, wasn’t it?”
“That’s not quite irony.”
“Why not?”
“Because it’s only natural for your teacher to have a realistic awareness about marriage.She’s likely spent her entire life paying the price for her parents’ mistakes her whole life.”

When yandere male lead believes she loves him — but she never did
“How dare you!”
“How dare you make me love you, only to cast me aside as nothing more than a friend?!?
“I will never accept that.”
“I will never let you return to him.”
“Even if I have to burn myself to ashes.”
“Even if I must shatter my purity, my dignity, my very soul.”
“I will never let you escape me!”

This was the first novel that introduced me to the matriarchal genre. I’ve read it three times already!
At first, the male lead despised the female lead. Later, he misunderstood that she liked him, so he condescendingly and reluctantly reciprocated her feelings.
Then, he suddenly discovered that she was kind to everyone in the same way, and there was already someone she cherished in her heart, and that person was not him.
The male lead couldn’t believe it, he became angry and crazy. He was determined to capture her body and heart by any means necessary.
Synopsis:
Want to see how a green tea bitch male lead falls in love with the female lead?
Want to see how he flirtatiously pursues the female lead?
Want to see how he gets slapped in the face repeatedly?
The male lead is a green tea bitch, a poisonous lotus, jealous, ruthless, unscrupulous, with a venomous heart, and he’s also a delusional maniac.
The female lead is righteous, positive energy-filled, kind, a holy mother.
Let’s see how two people with extreme personalities come together~

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.
