All Chapters of I Accidentally Accepted The Male Lead's Proposal : Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

Claire lingered in the bathroom for a long time before finally coming out.Ethan was already in the kitchen making breakfast.During the meal, Claire pretended to concentrate on eating and didn't glance at Ethan even once.She didn't mention a single word about what had happened while they slept last night.If she didn't bring it up, there would be no awkwardness.Yes, that was it.Pretend it never happened.Ethan was also considerate enough not to mention it.After breakfast, Ethan picked up the dishes and chopsticks and carried them to the kitchen to wash.Claire washed the dirty clothes, then began sweeping and mopping the floor.When Ethan came out of the kitchen, he glanced at the busy woman and pressed his lips together.The mop stopped right at Ethan's feet.He didn't move.Claire straightened up, slightly out of breath,“Move aside. I need to mop the floor!”Ethan stared at her for a moment, then silently took the mop from her and began mopping.Claire: "..."She didn't argue w

Before Claire could stop him, Ethan had already paid.He caried a bag of oranges and a bowl of strawberries.On the way back, Claire kept muttering."Buying oranges would've been enough.Why did you buy strawberries too? We can't eat that much at once."“We are still in debt. We don't have much money."“You haven't received any payment yet, and I've taken several days off this month, so my salary probably won't be much either.”“We need to be careful with our money. We can't spend extravagantly.""Ethan, are you even listening to me? Ethan-ah!"Ethan suddenly stopped walking.Claire bumped straight into his back.Her nose instantly turned red, and her eyes watered.Ethan froze for a moment.He instinctively raised his hand as if to check on her, but stopped halfway.“Did it hurt?"Claire looked up and glared at him."What do you think? Are you made of iron? You're so hard!"Ethan's eyes darkened, something unreadable flickering within them.Claire sniffed and waited until the sting in h

Ethan held her hand for a moment, rubbing it gently before leading her into the subway station.Inside, it was much warmer.The evening rush hour had already passed, so the train wasn't crowded.Plenty of seats were still empty.The two of them sat side by side, their hands still linked.After a moment, Claire subtly pulled her hand away.Ethan glanced at her but didn't say anything.Across from them sat a young couple.The girl leaned against the boy's shoulder, smiling sweetly as they chatted and laughed together.Claire glanced at the man beside her.Ethan was silently staring at the advertising screen above.They didn't speak the entire ride.—When they returned to the apartment, Ethan said, “You shower first."Claire didn't stand on ceremony.She quickly grabbed her clothes and went into the bathroom.After she finished showering and came out, Ethan went in.Claire slipped under the covers and opened a novel on her phone.The author had been stockpiling chapters for several days

Sandra slammed her hand on the table."That sums it up perfectly! it's all about acting love-struck!”“We don't actually become love-struck,"she continued.“We just act that way in front of our boyfriends. It greatly satisfies their vanity."Claire poked at the food in front of her with her chopsticks, pondering how one was supposed to act love-struck.She had absolutely no idea.She had never even been in a relationship before.So while eating, she took out her phone and searched for love-struck.Many related entries popped up.#WhatDoesloveStrucklooklike##SignsOfLoveStruckGirls##HowTerriblelsloveStruckSyndrome##LoveStruckGirlsWakellp##HowloveStruckGirlsSaveThemselves#Claire clicked on #SignsOfLoveStruckGinls# andfrowned.Prioritizing romance over friendship.No principles or bottom line.Disliking spending a man's money and willing to give everything for him.Insecure, with no life of her own.Giving her partner no personal space.Blindly worshipping him and constantly talking

Claire turned off the induction cooker and scrolled through her phone while waiting for Ethan to return.Roseline called.Claire immediately hung up.Soon after, Roseline sent a voice message, then another, and another, a long string of them.Having learned her lesson before, Claire converted the voice messages into text.[You brat, what are you doing? I call, you don't answer. You don't reply to my messages either.][l ran into your Aunt Carol again yesterday. She said that man is quite satisfied with you and still wants to meet you.][Just go meet him. I saw his photo…it's not bad. He doesn't look that old.]Claire replied:[Mom, those photos are heavily edited. He's 38…how could he not be old? I can't marry an old man. You can't force me.]A while later, Roseline sent another message.【Alright.If you really don't want to, then forget it.]Roseline also felt the age gap was too big.She had only agreed to meet Carol earlier out of neighborly courtesy.Claire had just breathed a sigh
