Miss Pendleton (Update to C.222 END) - Chapter 92
Soon, Ian Dalton entered the drawing room. He was impeccably dressed in a black suit with a deep green frock coat suitable for autumn. In his large hands, gloved in chestnut leather, he held several modest bouquets of flowers.
He removed his hat and bowed to the hostess, Mrs. Starr. Having transitioned from a playful retriever to a dignified pastor’s wife, Mrs. Starr welcomed him with a graceful smile. After inquiring about her well-being, he turned his gaze to Laura Pendleton.
“Miss Pendleton is here as well.”
Laura, as usual, gave him a bright smile. Seeing his face, the sadness from moments before faded, and her mood lifted.
“You were invited by Mrs. Starr at the last dinner, weren’t you? She promised to let us taste her famous Yorkshire apple pie. You were there—have you forgotten?”
“My apologies. I did forget.”
“As expected, you’re inattentive to ladies.”
“Compared to other ladies, you’re quite special. Isn’t that right, Mrs. Starr?”
Mrs. Starr nodded.
“Remarkably so.”
Laura’s eyes drifted to the bouquets.
“You look like a flower girl from Covent Garden. Are those flowers from the Whitefield Hall greenhouse? Where are you taking so many bouquets?”
“I’m visiting my kin.”
“Kin?”
Mrs. Starr chimed in from the side.
Why She Is Still Unmoved (Female-dominant)
One-line summary: He uses various methods to seek her affection, but she remains unmoved.
Synopsis:
Si Qingyu is a doctor who has saved countless lives and enjoys tranquility.
Luo Shaoxuan is ruthless, deeply scheming, and the top young master in the capital. He admires Si Qingyu.
Luo Shaoxuan: I want to be the only one in your eyes and heart.
Features a cold and calm female lead vs A noble and scheming male lead.
There will be both sweetness and torture towards the male after their marriage.
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.
