Falling into Her Trap: Don't Cross the Line, Mr. President-Chapter 127: Persuade Her to Marry Me Soon and Give Me a Legitimate Status

Chapter 127: Chapter 127: Persuade Her to Marry Me Soon and Give Me a Legitimate Status

Claire Shaw hurriedly waved her hand, earnestly explaining:

"Sir, please don’t say that. My feelings for Ethan are genuine. Although I do admire his attractiveness, I never intended to exploit that; I’m willing to pay or even earn money to support him."

It would have been better if she hadn’t spoken because her words infuriated the old man.

Pay? Support him? What did she take his precious grandson for?

This cheeky girl, with such a pretty face, why were none of her words pleasing to his ears?

So after all this, this girl only liked his grandson for his good looks?

Not for the family background, the status, or the immense wealth and position of Mrs. Blackwood.

She even thought being Mrs. Blackwood was troublesome!

Where in the world can you find a woman like this? This made Grandfather Blackwood feel a bit defeated.

After fuming for a while, the old man calmed himself down and lowly coughed to bring the topic back:

"It’s nice that you think this way. In the future, if he marries, as long as you behave, I might turn a blind eye to your situations.

"It’s rare for Ethan to like a woman this much. I don’t want to humiliate him. If you two have children, The Blackwood Family will accept them; except you can’t marry into the family. Other than that, you’ll receive the same treatment as Mrs. Blackwood, regardless of how many children you have. Whether they are boys or girls, they will be the treasures of The Blackwood Family."

"Houses, cars, even shares in The Blackwood Family, once you have children, I can provide them."

The old man didn’t dislike Claire Shaw too much; she was better than those pretentious women.

Ethan’s life has been too bitter. Having a woman like this to spice things up isn’t a bad thing.

Moreover, everyone tends to accept that in a wealthy marriage, partners often have affairs. As long as it’s not excessive and no boundaries are broken, everyone can coexist peacefully.

The old man relented, which was a kind of approval for Claire Shaw.

Plus, the conditions he offered Claire Shaw were quite generous!

Most other women would have been deeply grateful, but to his surprise, Claire Shaw coldly said without a second thought, "I refuse."

The old man angrily pounded on the table, "I’ve already conceded, what more do you want?"

Claire Shaw’s face remained expressionless as she said deliberately, "Sir, I have a bottom line. I would rather die alone than be a mistress! Let alone bear children as a mistress. Please dismiss that idea."

She was different from Miranda Shaw; she would never follow that path.

Nor would she let her children be labeled as illegitimate from birth.

Her suffering was enough.

Grandfather Blackwood pointed at Claire Shaw’s pretty face and said to Ethan, "This is the woman you fancy!"

Ethan gently caressed Claire’s face for reassurance, "Grandpa, please don’t be angry. I’ll persuade her."

"That’s more like it." The old man was just about to breathe a sigh of relief.

In the next moment, Ethan added, "Persuade her to marry me sooner and give me a proper status."

"Bang!"

The old man nearly flipped the table, "You ungrateful child, is this how you repay me?"

"Grandpa, I’ve let you dictate my entire life because I am a Blackwood; I’m your grandson. I’ve taken on all loads and responsibilities without a word. But when it comes to choosing a partner, I hope you let me decide for myself."

Ethan’s tone was slow and composed, as steady as ever.

"Sure, marriages of convenience can exchange resources. The Blackwood Family is already dominant; I have the confidence to lead it to greater heights without relying on marriage alliances. While Ms. Shaw may not have a background, she possesses a unique charm that captivates me. I believe she will become a great helpmate and join me in filial piety to you."

"Foolish! If you insist on opposing me because of a woman, then don’t blame me for being ruthless. The Blackwood Family has more than one child; the position you don’t cherish, someone else will."

Ethan chuckled lightly, holding Claire as he stood up, "Then find someone who cherishes it. The only one I cherish is this woman. A day without her feels like three years. It’s been a decade since I’ve seen Ms. Shaw, so now I need to address some personal matters. Excuse me, Grandpa."

"Insolent child, hold it right there!"

Ethan paused briefly, turned back, and added, "I heard you spent twenty million supporting Ms. Shaw. Let me thank you on behalf of Ms. Shaw. Consider the money our wedding gift from you!"

"Who’s acknowledging her as a granddaughter-in-law! You ungrateful brat, get back here!"

"Crash!"

The teacups and teapot scattered across the floor as the old man threw a bunch, none of which hit Ethan—just for show. 𝓯𝙧𝓮𝓮𝒘𝓮𝙗𝙣𝒐𝒗𝒆𝓵.𝓬𝓸𝒎

Dean Blackwood quickly helped steady him, "Grandpa, don’t be mad. Ethan is just temporarily confused. He’ll surely understand your good intentions in time."

"It’s difficult; that boy has always had his own ideas. Once he’s decided, not even nine bulls can pull him back. This Claire Shaw has some skill."

Dean adjusted his glasses, observing the woman being carried away. Her open demeanor showed she wasn’t the least affected by the old man’s opinions.

She wore a light purple short-sleeved cheongsam, revealing slim and fair arms from the armholes.

Unlike those women who love wearing gold and silver, she wore only a simple silver ring on her middle finger, which rested perfectly on Ethan’s neck.

Ethan was robust, his neck veins standing out, contrasting sharply with the delicate arms of the woman.

From beneath the hem of her dress, long, straight, white legs extended, adorned with a jade anklet that tinkled as she moved.

Such an anklet might seem too bold on other women, but on her, it uniquely blended purity and desire.

This straightforward woman, unafraid of the old man yet nestled in Ethan’s arms like a delicate bird, was captivating.

At the doorstep, the woman parted her rosy lips, playfully biting Ethan’s ear, both teasing and provocative.

She giggled softly, like an enchantress capable of leading entire kingdoms to ruin, stirring one’s heart.

Dean’s gaze darkened, his Adam’s apple bobbing slightly as he murmured assuredly, "Third Brother has always been sensible; surely, he’ll come to his senses soon enough..."

Claire Shaw was carried into a black SUV by Ethan, with Wyatt and Leo wisely disappearing from sight.

The moment before the door closed, Claire had already pushed the man onto the spacious back seat.

She kneeled between Ethan’s legs, winding up like a serpent.

"Mr. Blackwood, you promised I wouldn’t get hurt."

Ethan’s voice was deep and magnetic, "Mm."

Claire’s movements traced the perfect curve of her body as she gradually pressed against him, "I want to see if you’ve been obedient."

Her fingertips brushed over the stubble growing on his face, rough against her touch.

She licked her lips, "Mr. Blackwood, from this point, I’ll inspect every inch of your body meticulously..."
