57 Proposal
“Edwin Anderson!” Everyone exclaimed in shock!
The head of the Anderson family, why would he be here!?
Even Mr. And Mrs. Campbell were shocked. Of course, they wanted to get close to the Anderson family, but because of Edwin’s health condition, he would usually attend all kinds of banquets, so the Campbell couple didn’t even send an invitation to the Anderson family. In the end, Edwin suddenly appeared. What kind of dream opening was this!
“Oh my god, he’s so handsome! I felt like I couldn’t breathe when I first saw him!” A female guest excitedly pinched her best friend’s arm and exclaimed in a low voice.
At this moment, no one would complain about such a rude behavior, because many women present had the same thought.
This was Edwin Anderson. Just the meaning behind his surname alone could make many people go crazy, not to mention that he was so young and handsome. Which girl wouldn’t be confused when they saw him?
Oh, there were indeed some. For example, Caroline frowned when she saw Edwin.
From the moment he stepped into the banquet hall, the attention of the public, Edwin’s eyes were fixed on Caroline without any hint of wavering.
He walked to Caroline’s side and stood beside her. His gaze moved from Caroline to the girl who was sitting on the ground. The gentleness in his eyes instantly disappeared and became cold and merciless. “You said that no one would want a girl like Caroline. You are wrong. On the contrary, an independent, powerful, and beautiful woman like her is the most beautiful woman in the world. She is also the person I have always admired and chased after.”
The moment he said that, the entire banquet hall fell silent. Everyone looked at Edwin and Caroline in disbelief. They didn’t hear wrongly, did they? Edwin actually said that this idiot beauty Caroline was someone he admired and chased after?
“What are you saying?” Caroline tugged on his sleeve to stop him from spouting nonsense. “Why are you here?”
To match her dress, Caroline was wearing a pair of eight-centimeter high heels. However, she was still half a head shorter than Edwin. Thus, Edwin turned his head slightly and whispered in her ear, “Didn’t I say that I wanted to see you in this beautiful dress?”
Wasn’t that just a joke? Caroline could not help but laugh. “Why are you so childish like a child?”
The familiarity revealed between the two of them burned everyone’s eyes and made them red with envy.
However, what shocked them even more was that in the next second, Edwin actually took out a ring and knelt on one knee in front of Caroline. He looked at her affectionately and said, “Beautiful Madam Caroline Lambert, may I take the liberty to ask you and I, Edwin Anderson, to conclude an engagement and become a pair of fiancé and fiancée?”
The crowd was in an uproar. Oh my god, Edwin actually wanted to marry Caroline, this notorious woman. Was he serious?
“Don’t mess around.” Caroline, who was supposed to be flattered, did not feel happy at all. Instead, she was in a difficult position. She pulled Edwin up and pulled him in front of her. “What are you trying to do?”
A few days ago, he had said that he would support her as a friend. How did it become like this now?
“Caroline, do you believe me?” Edwin’s focused gaze fell on her beautiful face.
Caroline thought for a moment before she replied, “I think I believe you, Edwin.”
“That’s good.” A smile appeared on Edwin’s face. “Then, let’s make a deal, okay?”
“What deal?” Caroline was confused.
“You will become my fiancée and help me deal with my grandmother. From now on, the Anderson family will be under your command.” Edwin’s voice was soft, but his tone was firm.
Caroline’s grip on his hand tightened for a moment. This was indeed a very tempting deal. It was also the most important thing that Caroline needed for her revenge. However, Caroline only wavered for a moment before she rejected him. “I don’t think this is a fair deal.”
The Anderson family was not related to her in any way. She could not let the Anderson family get involved in the unpredictable battlefield just because of her own selfishness.
