All Chapters of I Accidentally Accepted The Male Lead's Proposal : Chapter 101 - Chapter 110

Edward Cole didn't bother mincing words. "You and Ethan are not a match. I will never allow a woman from such an ordinary background to remain his wife."Claire immediately put on an aggrieved pout. "Grandpa, my parents have always told me I'm anything but ordinary—they say I'm one in a million! Just take a look at this face of mine. It's breathtakingly gorgeous! How could I possibly not be a match for Ethan?""Pfft—"Standing behind the sofa, Walter couldn't hold back and let out a muffled snort of laughter, only to freeze under a withering side-eye from Edward. Even the four stone-faced bodyguards lined up behind him had to clench their jaws to keep their shoulders from shaking.In all his years, Edward had never dealt with anyone quite as shameless as Claire, and for a brief moment, he was completely at a loss for words. Pressing his lips together, he finally spoke in a slow, measured tone."You may be pretty, yes, but the world is full of pretty faces. Good looks alone do not mak

The next morning, Claire woke up and tried to roll over in bed, only to let out a sharp gasp of pain.Good grief... had last night actually left her crippled?Glancing toward the other side of the mattress, she saw that Ethan was already up and gone. After lying still for a long while to gather her strength, she finally braced a hand against the bedroom wall and shuffled slowly into the bathroom.The woman staring back at her from the mirror looked like an absolute wreck. Dark love bites littered her neck and collarbones, her lips were swollen to twice their normal size, and the corners of her mouth were raw and split. Anyone who didn't know better would have thought she'd been ravaged by a pack of wolves all night.Looking like this, going into the office was completely out of the question, in fact, she couldn't even bring herself to step into the dining room and face her mother-in-law over breakfast.Using the wall for support, she limped right back to the bed, eased herself under t

Ethan paused mid-motion as he shrugged off his jacket, glancing over his shoulder. Claire nibbled her lower lip, her wide, almond eyes gazing up at him with a soft vulnerability. The look was too much for him to resist; he reached out, gently brushing his thumb against her cheek. "Good girl."Claire remained silent.Ethan smoothly continued, "I'll drive you to pack up the rest of your belongings on Monday."Claire simply nodded. What other choice did she have? They were still married, meaning she was bound to his decisions for now. She would have to accompany him to Bellmont City."When do we head out?" she asked."Next week.""Are things sorted with the startup?""Yeah. Justin and Kyle can hold the fort, and we've recently brought on several new hires to help."Claire nodded in understanding. With Ethan's sheer competence, he was destined for something much bigger than a small startup. The massive enterprise of Edward's family was exactly the stage he needed.A sudden realization s

Ethan had a laptop open in front of him. Although he didn't manage Reed Technology personally on a daily basis anymore, there were still numerous operational matters for him to handle. As the lead developer of their core game, he still had to oversee certain technical issues. Fortunately, these problems could easily be solved remotely.Having finished his work, he closed the laptop and glanced over his shoulder. He froze.His mother and his wife were crying their eyes out. Claire wiped her cheeks and sniffled. "Mom, it's so touching!"Katherine handed her a tissue and took one for herself to dab her own face. "The first time I watched this movie was with Ethan's father. I cried my eyes out back then, too, and he was right beside me, handing me tissues."At the mention of his late father, Claire cried even harder, burying her face into Katherine's shoulder. "Mom, the love between you and Dad is so moving. I can't take it, I'm going to die from crying."Ethan remained silent for a long

"A billionaire heir? Then it's even less likely to be your son-in-law," Fernando scoffed dismissively. "The husband your daughter found is just some poor kid."Roseline ignored him, her eyes glued to the photograph on her screen, scrutinizing it over and over. "It just looks way too much like him."Fernando turned his head, genuinely puzzled. "By the way, what does our son-in-law actually look like?"Roseline: "..."She gritted her teeth and glared at him fiercely. "If you don't even know what he looks like, why did you say it wasn't him?!"Fernando shrank his neck back defensively. "I haven't seen the boy either, but how could some poor kid suddenly turn out to be a billionaire heir? Are you still daydreaming about our daughter marrying into a wealthy family?"Roseline took a deep, steadying breath, refusing to waste another syllable on him.Back in Bellmont, Claire was staring blankly at her bedroom ceiling when the phone vibrating on her nightstand startled her out of her daze.She
