Falling into Her Trap: Don't Cross the Line, Mr. President-Chapter 129: But I Want to Enter Your World

Ethan Blackwood ruffled her hair, "Sweetheart, I have some work to take care of, I need to go to the company."

Claire Shaw bit her lip. In the past, she couldn’t let go, often stopping due to the next day’s work.

But now that she’s resigned, she can set her nature free, while Ethan Blackwood is seldom seen.

Considering his status, she feared that the time he found to meet her was squeezed out from his hectic schedule, so Claire obediently got off him.

"Okay."

"Good girl." Ethan Blackwood got dressed again and took Claire directly to the office.

On the way, he asked about Claire’s recent situation, "Nothing happened these days, right?"

Claire unconsciously touched her left ear. Although she had undergone repair surgery, her hearing hadn’t fully recovered.

As long as conversations were at a normal volume, it didn’t largely affect her life. She specifically instructed her mom not to distract Ethan, so he didn’t know about it at all.

Claire smiled, "What could happen to me? Everything’s fine."

He’s already working so hard; Claire didn’t want him to worry about these small issues, as hearing recovery isn’t something that would be resolved in a day or two.

"Once I’m done with work these two days, I’ll take you to the stables."

Claire immediately responded, "Rather than horseback riding, I want to go to the shooting range more. Ethan, teach me to shoot."

Ethan Blackwood’s peripheral vision caught a glimpse of Claire. She truly was different.

"Your skin is so delicate, I’m afraid you’ll get hurt."

Claire turned her head, her eyes sparkling as she looked at Ethan Blackwood, "But, I want to be a part of your world."

The grip on the steering wheel tightened in Ethan Blackwood’s hands. This sentence had such a powerful impact on him.

In reality, his world wasn’t one of extravagance and privilege, as the outside world imagined, but rather one full of chaos and turmoil, with a road paved by blood and bones sustaining the century-long Blackwood Family.

The old man talking about replacing him was just lip service.

Ever since he was chosen back then, he was already the successor of the Blackwood Family.

There’s only one condition to take his place, and that is if he’s dead.

Even though he hasn’t fully taken over yet, his position in the Blackwood Family is close to the old man’s.

But now, his Luna said she wanted to come into his world to be with him, so he would no longer fight alone.

Now he has someone he wants to protect.

"...Okay."

Claire continued, "Were those things before done by your grandfather?"

"No, today was a warning. If he wanted to make a move, it would be in the future. But I won’t give him that chance."

The old man isn’t foolish. Knowing how much Ethan likes Claire, how could he easily kill her without inciting his anger?

The person who wants to kill Claire is someone else, and this person is hiding very well. The clues had been interrupted several times.

These days, even with tight defense around the opponent, they haven’t surfaced. Claire wanting to learn shooting is a good thing; she needs some self-defense skills.

Claire frowned, "If it wasn’t your grandfather, someone spread rumors about me and Owen Crawford being in the same hotel."

"It’s very likely that Owen himself did it. His infatuation with you isn’t dead."

It wasn’t just Owen, but also Yasmin Yorke.

Owen wanted to use Yasmin to mess up her work at school, while Yasmin hoped to take advantage of the situation to rise up.

But neither knew that Claire had planned to resign for Ethan a long time ago, leaving them punching into thin air.

Claire murmured, "He’s really despicable."

Seeing Claire pout, Ethan Blackwood chuckled, "Don’t worry, everyone gets their dues. He’s not having a good time lately."

Claire came to Ethan Blackwood’s office again. During his absence, a thick pile of files had accumulated.

"Luna, if you’re bored, you can head home first. I might be a bit busy here."

Claire gave a gentle smile, "I don’t have a job recently, I can keep you company."

While Ethan Blackwood was busy, Claire freely moved around his office.

She washed the fruit and drained the water, arranging the Holy Daughter Fruits into little rabbit shapes, carving the dragon fruit into red roses, turning kiwis into lotuses, and leaving little round balls scattered around.

She thoughtfully prepared fruit forks and quietly placed them by Ethan Blackwood’s hand.

It took Ethan Blackwood two hours before he noticed, pinching the little rabbit-shaped Holy Daughter Fruit between his fingers, his lips curled slightly.

He turned his head to look at Claire Shaw, who was grinding coffee.

Outside, the wind blew gently with fine rain, while inside the room felt like spring—exactly what he had always longed for.

Someone was there to add clothes for him when it was cold, and bring tea when he was thirsty.

Just then, someone knocked on the door and entered, a gentle voice rising, "Ethan, I’m not disturbing you, am I?"

Claire Shaw’s gaze fell on the visitor, she had seen this face before.

Before Ethan Blackwood returned, Elliot Blackwood had always been the spokesperson for the Blackwood Family.

He noticed Claire Shaw as well, who wasn’t dressed in a uniform, "This is..."

Ethan Blackwood waved at Claire Shaw, "Come."

Claire Shaw walked to his side, maintaining an aura of nobility and elegance, "Hello Mr. Blackwood, I am Claire Shaw." 𝚏𝐫𝚎𝗲𝕨𝐞𝐛𝕟𝚘𝐯𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝗺

Just after the introduction, an arm wrapped around her waist, and Ethan Blackwood directly said, "Why call me Mr. Blackwood, so distant, just call me big brother."

With a single sentence, he pulled Claire Shaw, who was about to distance herself, back, strongly declaring her identity.

"Big brother, this is my girlfriend."

Elliot Blackwood understood quickly, "So you’re the sister-in-law, I came in haste today, must make up for a proper meeting gift another day."

Claire Shaw felt a bit uncomfortable with this atmosphere, wanting only to enjoy with Ethan Blackwood, but Ethan deliberately pulled her into the Blackwood Family circle.

Though slightly displeased, she didn’t embarrass Ethan in front of outsiders, speaking gently, "Does big brother like coffee? I’m grinding coffee beans right now."

"I do, thank you sister-in-law."

"You’re welcome." Claire Shaw quickly went back to make coffee.

Elliot Blackwood, the eldest son of the main branch, was now in his forties, having just remarried recently.

Ethan Blackwood invited him to sit, "I was quite busy before and couldn’t attend your wedding, forgive me, big brother."

"You had important matters, I understand. You haven’t met your sister-in-law yet, have you? You should bring your younger sister-in-law to my house one day to try out her cooking skills."

"Alright."

Ethan Blackwood raised his brows slightly, initiating the conversation himself, "Big brother, you didn’t come here just for a visit, did you?"

"Indeed, Ethan, I know this matter might trouble you, but I have no other choice. Your sister-in-law’s family has been having troubles recently, and you have good relations with those above, I’d like to ask for your help, the Crawfords aren’t strangers, and now your sister-in-law is pregnant, she’s been crying day and night at home, and I’m really worried."

So, it was for the Crawford Family, after Owen Crawford’s visit failed, Elliot Blackwood came personally.

After all, as a cousin, Ethan Blackwood had to save face.

"Alright, I’ll have someone look into it and see." He replied smoothly, but his answer was ambiguous.

A smart person knew when to stop, and Elliot Blackwood naturally didn’t press further.

Claire Shaw brought over the coffee, and Elliot praised her generously.

"The third brother is truly lucky, to have found such a pretty and generous sister-in-law. When are you planning the wedding? Let me, as your brother, have a few drinks on your happy occasion."

Claire Shaw blushed with embarrassment, she hadn’t even thought of marriage, what’s wrong with these Blackwood Family members?

Each one stranger than the last, and this big brother was directly urging a wedding.

Ethan Blackwood stirred the latte art in his coffee, his voice rich and mellow, "My little Luna is young and likes to enjoy herself. We’ll wait until she’s ready to marry."

His words were filled with respect and affection for Claire Shaw, and Elliot Blackwood knew very well that this young man was serious.

After exchanging a few more words, he invited them to visit before finally leaving.

Claire Shaw nudged his chest, "When did I agree to meet the Blackwood Family?"

Ethan Blackwood embraced her, "My pretty little wife, you’ll have to meet the family sooner or later. Don’t worry, I’m not rushing the marriage, just letting you get acquainted with my family in advance."

As Elliot Blackwood left the company, he received a call from his wife, "That third brother is very shrewd, didn’t give a definite answer, but it seems he’s in love and cares a lot about that woman. If we can’t go through him, his girlfriend might be another way..."

Yvonne Crawford conveyed the message to Owen Crawford, who thought again of the woman in Ethan Blackwood’s embrace who looked so much like Claire Shaw from behind.

He instinctively asked, "What’s his girlfriend’s name?"

"I heard her name is Luna."

Owen Crawford breathed a sigh of relief, as long as it wasn’t Claire Shaw.

Indeed, with Claire Shaw’s wild man only driving a car worth tens of thousands, how could she ever get close to a big shot like Ethan Blackwood?

"Owen, if your uncle can’t reach him, this woman is very soft-hearted. You need to prepare well to win her over, Aunt has paved the way for you, the rest is up to you."

Owen Crawford nodded, "Yes, I will definitely make sure to curry favor with the little aunt."
