I Accidentally Accepted The Male Lead's Proposal

Claire Bennett transmigrated into the body of the male lead's ex- girlfriend-the one who had rejected him for being poor.

The moment she arived, the male lead was proposing to her.

"Claire, marry me..."

She wasn't the female lead!

She was the vicious supporting character who had left psychological scars on the male lead, eventually pushing him toward a twisted and dark personality.

The ex-girlfriend who rejected his proposal because she thought he was poor. and later married a rich second-generation heir.

Afterward, she did all sorts of malicious things, trying to sabotage the relationship between the male and female leads.

Claire Bennett froze for a full two minutes.

Long enough for a trace of disappointment to flash across the male lead, Ethan Reed's eyes

"Claire... you don't want to?"

Claire lowered her gaze toward the man kneeling before her. His features were handsome, his eyes dark and deep.

In his hand was a fifty-point diamond ring, He looked at her with unmistakable affection and anticipation.

Claire swallowed hard. Her mind replayed the original owner's ending in the novel.

After marrying the rich second-generation heir, the original owner suffered daily domestic violence and verbal abuse from her in-laws.

Outsiders believed she had married into wealth and was living the luxurious life of a rich wife.

Only she knew the truth.

Her pockets were emptier than her face.

She had basically become a free nanny in her husband's household.

Meanwhile, a year after her marriage, the male lead was recognized by a top-tier wealthy family in Bellmont City and brought back as their heir, instantly becoming a prominent figure among the capital's elite.

He later met the story's female lead.

At first, he kept her around as a substitute for Claire, treating her like a caged bird.

But eventually, he truly fell in love with her.

Just when their relationship was stabilizing, the original owner suddenly reappeared.

She caused endless misunderstandings between them, leading the female lead to leave heartbroken.

The male lead then embarked on a long and dramatic journey to win his wife back.

As for the original owner..

She was captured by her abusive husband, brutally beaten-and eventually killed by accident.

Her short life ended miserably.

Claire thought for too long. Her expression remained blank, without a trace of joy.

She was probably unwilling.

Disappointment flickered through Ethan's eyes as he prepared to withdraw the ring.

At that moment-

Claire suddenly snatched it and slipped it onto the middle finger of her left hand.

"I do!"she declared loudly...

This might be the only chance in her life to become a rich woman. How could she possibly miss it?

The man before her would one day become a powerful heir among Bellmont City's elite, unimaginably wealthy with countless assets.

Soon, a powerful tycoon would shower her with money, forcing her to divorce Ethan.

Afterward, Ethan would meet his true love, fall deeply in love,

and also demand a divorce while throwing money at her,

And she would walk away rich, travel the world, and never have to do those miserable jobs again.

Haha!

Life couldn't possibly be more carefree!

A dream impossible in reality would finally come true after transmigrating into a novel.

Ethan slowly stood up.

Seeing the smile on Claire's face, the tension in his chest finally eased.

For a moment, he had thought Claire didn't want to marry him.

He must have overthought it.

She was probablyjust too shocked to react.

After all, they had only graduated six months ago. Marriage might seem a bit sudden.

But he couldn't wait.

He was afraid that Claire would be taken away.

Earlier that day, he had picked her up from work and seen her accepting roses from another man, smiling brightly.

In that instant, a sense of crisis gripped him. His first thought was simple: He needed to keep her by his side.

And the only way to secure Claire was through marriage.

...

Claire raised her hand and admired the ring happily.The bouquet and diamond ring were beautiful.

Even a lab-grown diamond ring would cost over ten thousand yuan.

She remembered that Ethan had only recently graduated. He had started a small company with his friends and invested all the money he had earned from part-time jobs during college.

He should be completely broke.

So where had he gotten the money for this ring?

She looked up at the tall, broad-shouldered man in front of her."Where did you get the money?"

Ethan lowered his eyes, his gaze evasive

"Don't worry about it."

Claire pursed her lips.

She truly didn't care.

No matter who he had borowed it from, he would definitely repay it in the future.

There was nothing to worry about.

Suddenly, Ethan grabbed her hand. Claire jumped and instinctively shook him off.

Ethan's dark eyes slowly darkened. Claire nearly bit her finger in frustration.She had forgotten she had transmigrated.

She was now Ethan's girlfriend.

Holding hands and kissing were perfectly normal between couples.Her sudden reaction must have seemed strange.

But before transmigrating, she had never been in a relationship. She had never even had a boyfriend

Suddenly holding hands with a man felt incredibly awkward. After thinking for a moment, she had an idea.

What if she imagined Ethan as one of her Idol Bias?

Yes. Perfect.

She was holding hands with her idol!

Her idol!

She walked closer to Ethan and reached out to take his pale, slender hand.

Then she smiled sweetly.

"I was just stunned by your proposal earlier, that's why I pulled away"

The darkness in Ethan's eyes gradually faded.

So that was the reason.

For a moment he had thought Claire hated being touched by him.

"Claire..." he said softly, "l don't have a house or a car right now. I can't give you a good life."

"But believe me, Give me time, and I'll make sure you have everything"

If anyone else had said those words, Claire would have rolled her eyes and walked away without looking back.

But this person was Ethan Reed.

The future heir of a top-tier wealthy family

He would eventually have endless money, countless houses, and garages filled with luxury cars.

Claire imagined the wealthy patriarch soon throwing money at her to divorce him.

Her round almond eyes sparkled.

"I believe you, " she said with a bright smile.

Ethan stared at her. Then he wrapped an arm around her waist and pulled her into a tight embrace.

Claire's mind exploded.

My idol is hugging me!

My idol is hugging me!

Oh my God...help!

She had never even had a boyfriend before.

And now she was suddenly holding hands and hugging a man. Her heart pounded wildly

In her mind she started counting.

One... two.. three...

She counted all the way to three hundred and sixty-five before Ethan finally released her,

Freed at last, Claire immediately rushed to the bathroom. Ethan assumed she simply needed to use it.

Without thinking much of it, he began clearing the dishes and carried them to the kitchen to wash.

Claire sat on the toilet and glanced around the bathroom.

It was small, without a separate shower area, but everything was spotless.The tiles gleamed, and there wasn't the slightest unpleasant smell.

It was much cleaner than the shared apartment she had lived in when she first arrived in New York in her previous life.

Two minutes later, she came out.

Ethan stood at the sink washing dishes with his back to her.

White shirt.

Black trousers

Tall, straight back.

The novel had described him as being 1.88 meters tall.

So tall!

This small apartment was rented by Ethan. He lived alone, yet kept it impeccably tidy. It was rare to find such a clean man in real life

Claire sat on the small sofa, picked up her phone, and began browsing the original owner's social contacts.

Soon, Ethan finished washing the dishes and dried his hands,Then he walked over and sat beside her.

Claire instantly stiffened.

She desperately resisted the urge to move away. But Ethan took her hand again.

She forced out a stiff smile.

The atmosphere grew strangely ambiguous.

"Claire," Ethan called softly.

Before She could react, she suddenly found herself pressed down onto the sofa.

Ethan stared at her intently as his face slowly moved closer.
