Miss Pendleton (Update to C.222 END) - Chapter 85
She approached the window more closely in surprise.Nothing could be seen at the end.Between the trees, nothing but dense birches was visible.It was white, so white, so very white.
Olivia was speaking in a proud voice beside her, but Laura couldn’t hear anything.She was that entranced.She had never seen such a scene in her life.
The forest of Dunville Park was grand and primal.Towering trees, lush undergrowth, wildflowers, and berries were not uncommon sights.It was a majestic greenery that overwhelmed the moment one entered.Laura often experienced vibrant vitality in the forest of Dunville Park.
But the Whitefield spread before her eyes was different from Dunville Park.It was dreamy and mystical.As if stepping into a dream world, or falling into a trance.The stark contrast of the white tree bark and the dark knots.Golden fragments of shattered sunlight shimmering above.Green leaves serving as the forest’s canopy.The pale sky of Yorkshire visible between them.
If the forest of Dunville Park was a playground designed by God,Whitefield was a work of art crafted with divine care.
For the ten minutes riding the carriage through the birch-lined path,she gazed blankly out the window.She couldn’t bear to blink even for a moment.She wanted to hold this beauty in her eyes for as long as possible.If possible, forever.
But everything has an end.The carriage soon left the long birch forestand began crossing a bridge over a stream.
Only then did Laura realize she had been entranced by Whitefield.And that her heart was pounding.
She calmed her trembling heart.Fortunately, the neat garden trees stretching beyond the window restored her composure.She returned to her usual self, offering Olivia, seated across from her,a mild compliment about the birch forest they had just passed, with a gentle smile.
The carriage passed through the well-kept garden and stopped in front of the manor.When the coachman opened the door, the two ladies slowly stepped down.
Laura slowly raised her head to look at the manorand was soon overcome with a different kind of awe than the dreamy intoxication of the birch forest.
Whitefield Hall was a grand five-story mansion sprawling on both sides.Its overall form was angular, yet curves were visible in places.Five Greek-style columns connected the first-floor staircase to the second-floor balcony,and statues of goddesses stood on the terrace, reaching toward the sky.
It was a rare Greek-style structure in England.Laura gazed at the manor for a moment, marveling at its elegant beauty.
‘Mr. Dalton’s pride is understandable. His affection, too.Anyone who calls this place home would always love itand never forget it, even when away.’
“Mr. Ramswick!”
Ex-husband Wants Reconciliation
One-line summary: Chasing the wife to the crematorium (making an effort to attract someone who has become indifferent), the female lead doesn’t look back, the second male lead takes the position.
Intro:
To repay the kindness of the older generation, Su Mu crossed into a female-dominated world and became a live-in daughter-in-law of the Yan family, single-handedly saving the Yan family from fire and water.
But her husband, Yan Jiyue, the eldest son of the Yan family, treated her with sarcasm and never showed her a good face.
It wasn’t until after Su Mu’s death that this pampered and arrogant young master shed a few fake tears and pretended to want to die for love.
This life’s kindness was enough. If there was a next life, she would definitely kick Yan Jiyue away.
Who knew that the heavens would be so kind as to allow her to be reborn, returning to the time when she had just married into the Yan family.
Su Mu glanced at the Yan eldest son, who still spoke coldly to her, and threw a divorce letter in front of him.
“Let’s divorce!”
***
Yan Jiyue never imagined that he would be reborn. He happily went to find Su Mu, wanting to make up for the mistakes he had made in his ignorant youth.
Wasn’t the reason the heavens allowed him to be reborn to let him reconcile with Su Mu?
But when he pushed open the door to Su Mu’s room, the person lying on the bed was another man.
Su Mu’s personal attendant, Xie Yi.
Yan Jiyue hated him so much that his teeth itched. In front of Su Mu, Xie Yi was a gentle and considerate whisperer of sweet nothings, but in reality, he was vicious-hearted and deliberately sabotaged their husband and wife relationship.
In the previous life, it was he who secretly hid in Su Mu’s coffin and committed suicide, stealing a step ahead of him to be buried with Su Mu.
Yan Jiyue’s eyes were filled with hatred as he cursed, “What kind of thing are you? Your background is lowly, what right do you have to occupy Su Mu?”
Xie Yi looked at the sleeping Su Mu and no longer pretended to be a whisperer of sweet nothings.
He proudly stuck out his belly, “I have the right because my belly is capable of giving the Wife-master a daughter.”
***
Yan Jiyue was consumed with jealousy. He spread rumors that Xie Yi had once been branded with the mark of a “harlot” on his chest.
But on the night Xie Yi cut off the flesh bearing that mark, Su Mu suddenly realized something was amiss.
“How did you know the exact moment I was poisoned? And why did you show up a month early?”
Xie Yi remained silent, blood from his wound soaking through his robes. His sapphire eyes brimmed with anguish – or was it just a flawless act?
Between a once-arrogant husband now seeking redemption, and a gentle soul willing to die for her – who truly held the darkest secrets? And could it be that Su Mu and Yan Jiyue weren’t the only ones given a second chance at life…?

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.
