Chapter 247
Eden stepped closer to me, and I Instinctively stepped back. He smiled and said, “Be my girlfriend.”
I was stunned but quickly managed a mocking smile. “Mr. Griffins, making such jokes early in the Isn’t really appropriate. You know-

“I’m not joking,” Eden interrupted me. “Only my girlfriend would have the privilege of meeting my dad.” His words left me frozen. It was clear that he was using this status to pressure me. Sure enough, my hunch was correct. My palm itched earlier, which meant that something like this was bound to happen. “Maddie, you probably don’t know this, but my dad has always been very suspicious.
“He trusts no one, especially now with his health not being great and so many people trying to get close to him with ulterior motives. He decided not to waste more energy and only met with family members

Eden gave me a detailed explanation, but I knew this was just an excuse.
“And then there’s me. I’m genuinely smitten with you. I know I have a reputation as a playboy and have dated many women, but those were just flings. Not only would I not want to marry any of them, dad would never agree to it either,” Eden said, laughing at himself with a hint of self–deprecation.
He probably knew how shameless he sounded.

However, you’re different. You seem like the type who would be a devoted wife and mother. That’s why I want to pursue you seriously.
When Eden said this, he was looking directly at me. To be honest, his expression was quite serious. Half an hour ago, one spoiled rich kid wanted to date me, and now here was a playboy.
Previously, no one pursued me. Now, it seemed like I had two suitors all of a sudden. But I had just confirmed my relationship with Brandon last night. Now, I wondered if Brandon was the reason so many people were pursuing me.
“Mr. Griffins, I appreciate your sincerity, and thank you for your admiration, but I’m sorry, I already have a boyfriend,” I replied directly.
Eden smiled. “Maddie, your excuse for rejecting me seems a bit superficial. When I played billiards with Derick, he said you were single.”
“That’s right. But I just started dating someone last night.”
Eden’s smile turned sly. “What a coincidence.”
I just smiled in response without saying anything.
“How about this? You name your condition. What would it take for you to agree?” Eden continued.
His offer was very much in line with his wealth and bold personality.
I didn’t respond, so Eden added, “If you agree, you’ll be the future Mrs. Griffins and the lady of the Alpha Corporation. I’ll transfer all my assets to your name upon marriage. Not only that, but there’s also-”
“Mr. Griffions, don’t you remember who my ex–fiance was?” I interrupted him this time.
Eden was trying to tempt me with his family’s wealth. But compared to the Gildon family’s assets, his just didn’t quite measure up.
Eden’s expression faltered, and then he smiled. “Actually, I like that you’re not swayed by money.”
“So, Mr. Griffins, please find someone else. I’m really not suitable for that role. I expressed my stance
