The Billionaire's True Heiress From Fake Jewel to Real Crown novel Chapter 1229

Ewan had lost count of how many times he had shut down his family's matchmaking attempts.

They constantly fabricated excuses to parade different women through his life, and it was driving him absolutely insane.

He knew they just wanted him to get married, have kids, and snap out of his depression.

But he really wanted to scream that a woman wasn't going to magically restore his will to live.

Right now, all he wanted to do was rot in peace!

He appreciated their intentions, but he had absolutely nothing to give in return.

More importantly, he refused to drag some innocent woman down with him.

Ewan took his sweet time rolling over to unlock the front door.

When it finally swung open and he got a clear look at Claire, a flicker of surprise crossed his face.

He had to admit, his family had pulled out all the stops this time—she was stunning.

But what did a pretty face matter?

Was he supposed to let a cripple ruin her entire life?

Ewan subconsciously rubbed his jaw, feeling the rough scruff. Showing up looking like a complete wreck, she probably wouldn't even give him a second glance anyway, right?

"Did my mother send you?"

Claire blinked, entirely confused. "No, your grandfather—"

Ewan cut her off before she could finish. "Great, now my grandfather is joining in on this nonsense too!"

"Just go home. I have zero intentions of getting married."

"Look at me. I'm stuck in a wheelchair for the rest of my life. What would even be the point of a marriage?"

"Are you absolutely sure you'll never stand again?" Claire hadn't expected his opening line to be a flat-out marital rejection.

"Don't lose hope so easily. There might still be a chance."

Ewan felt the conversation derailing, but he dug his heels in. "Even if a miracle happened, I'm still not getting married."

"Fine, then no marriage," Claire agreed without missing a beat.

That left Ewan completely baffled.

*If she's not here for a setup, what does she want?*

"Mr. Harding, let me formally introduce myself. I am Dr. Claire, the physician your grandfather hired for you."

*What?*
