Miss Pendleton (Update to C.222 END) - Chapter 91
Before long, the steadfast Mr. Ian Dalton learned that Laura Pendleton had grown close to the Star couple.He was immensely pleased.Yet, the extent of his delight seemed almost excessive to behold.Every time he met Laura, he would inquire incessantly about how close she had become with them and how much she had come to like them.
One day at tea time, Laura could no longer suppress her curiosity and spoke up.She asked if her growing friendship with the Star couple was such an important matter to Mr. Dalton.
He rubbed his flushed cheeks with the back of his hand, as if embarrassed.
“Forgive me. I was overjoyed at the chance to show that I, too, have good friends… As with you, Miss Pendleton, good friends are my pride.”
Laura, who cherished her friends, immediately understood his sentiment.
“Then Mr. Dalton’s reaction is quite natural. The Star couple are friends worthy of pride.”
A smile deepened at the corners of Mr. Dalton’s mouth.Laura found that smile pleasing.And the fact that she had made him smile felt even more delightful.
“I hope you continue your friendship with the Star couple, Miss Pendleton. They are admirable and respectable people. A model couple, indeed.”
“To live so near such people, Mr. Dalton, you are fortunate.”
He gazed at Laura quietly.
“…Proximity does indeed favor friendship. Whitefield and the parsonage are less than thirty minutes’ walk apart.”
“You certainly have an advantage over me. My journey takes over two hours. I always feel apologetic using the carriage.”
“If Whitefield Hall were your home, Miss Pendleton, you could nurture your friendships far more conveniently. It’s a pity for you.”
“You’re right, Mr. Dalton.”
Thereafter, Mr. Dalton frequently attended dinners at the parsonage.Each time he met Laura at these dinners, he expressed concern about the long and arduous journey she endured to get there, saying how much easier it would be if she lived closer.
Male lead reborn without memories — but he still falls for her.
The person he finds displeasing in this life turns out to be his cherished wife-master in previous life…
Xie Zhi and Fang Xianxing who had known each other for less than three days through a blind date sat in the same car in front of the civil affairs bureau. They had a disagreement and failed to get married.
Xie Zhi immediately took out his phone, slid through his contacts, and randomly selected the next marriage candidate.
The woman snatched his phone and hung up. Looking at his phone wallpaper, she awkwardly changed the subject: “An ancient painting, eh? It looks pretty good, it’s just that the person in the painting looks a bit like me.”
When he heard this, he sarcastically mocked her for being so delusional, completely unaware that, the person in front of him was the reincarnation of Wen Ru, the famous prime minister of Yuan Shun whom he most admired…

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.
