Substitute Bride: Utterly Pampered by Her Billionaire Husband Chapter 1502: His White Moonlight Returns

"Ethan Barnes, there’s no need to speak so harshly, no need to humiliate me. You hate me so much, you can just let me disappear, let me leave far away. I don’t understand why you don’t do that?" Celeste Linden said, clenching her fists.

Ethan Barnes watched her repeatedly say she wanted to leave, a shadow covering his handsome face. Leave? Not a chance.

If she leaves, she’d definitely go looking for that old flame Dominic Reynolds. Does he look like such a kindhearted person?

Women he’s done playing with, he won’t give them away to others.

"Come over, eat your dinner." He commanded.

Celeste Linden refused, "I have no appetite, don’t want to eat."

Ethan Barnes pursed his thin lips, "I don’t like repeating myself. If you want me to feed you myself."

"..." Fine, Celeste Linden accepted the threat. She couldn’t afford his personal feeding, so obediently, she sat down and started eating.

Quickly, she finished a small bowl of rice. "I’m done eating."

Ethan Barnes sat beside her, placing his large hand on her stomach, "Full?"

Celeste Linden couldn’t accept such an intimate gesture and immediately wanted to break free.

But Ethan Barnes had already sensed her desire to escape, so he pressed down her shoulder and pulled her into his arms.

His movements were rough, devoid of gentleness. Celeste Linden crashed into his cold, iron-hard embrace, pain welling up in her eyes.

"I’m full." She glared at him fiercely, but to avoid further aggression, she obediently stayed in his hold without moving.

Ethan Barnes reached out and touched her long hair, "Then we... take a bath together, what do you think?"

"..." He actually wanted to bathe together, dream on.

"No way, you go ahead, I’ll digest and bathe later."

"Celeste, are you misunderstanding? When I say let’s bathe together, I wasn’t asking your opinion; I was informing you." Having said that, Ethan Barnes directly picked her up horizontally and strode toward the bathroom.

Celeste Linden, being petite and delicate, had no strength in his arms. She began struggling violently, but the outcome was predictable.

Both entered the bathroom. Ethan Barnes tossed Celeste Linden directly into the large tub.

Water was already prepared in the tub; it was warm. But being suddenly tossed in, Celeste Linden felt the liquid rush into her mouth and nose, it hurt her heart and lungs.

Cough, cough.

Celeste Linden quickly surfaced, coughing violently.

She didn’t want to die, not one bit. No matter the adversity, even with this demon treating her like nothing, she didn’t want to die.

No one is worth her giving up her life.

Ethan Barnes stood by the tub, water overflowing, wetting his pant legs, but he ignored it, staring down at Celeste Linden in the water.

Her clothes were soaked, revealing her young and graceful figure indistinctly.

Her naturally beautiful face, lips red and teeth white, even with some red spots, did not diminish her beauty.

Ethan Barnes placed his hand on the belt around his waist, beginning to unfasten it.

"Ethan Barnes, is this fun for you? Do you enjoy forcing women?" Celeste Linden curled in the corner of the tub, covering her eyes filled with hatred and wariness, glaring at him.

She really despised him.

Ethan Barnes found this side of her only stirred his innate desire for conquest. He slowly curled his thin lips, "Fun, I find it rather entertaining."

"..."

Just then, a "knock, knock" sounded. Someone was knocking on the door.

It’s nighttime, and he’s entered her room. Anyone with a bit of perception wouldn’t knock now unless it was urgent.

"Ethan Barnes, someone’s knocking, someone!" Celeste Linden saw hope; she hoped Ethan Barnes would stop his brutality tonight, not touch her.

Ethan Barnes furrowed his brows, a bit displeased, but it didn’t affect his mood to savor his meal, "Celeste, don’t be distracted. I like your focus on me."

"Pervert!"

The "knock, knock" sounded again, accompanied by a trusted voice from outside, "Master, I have urgent news."

Now Ethan Barnes’s expression turned dark. He disliked being disturbed at such a time, spoiling his mood.

Ethan Barnes opened the bathroom door, coldly staring at the trusted aide outside, "You’d better ensure this is truly urgent. Otherwise, you know the consequences."

The aide looked at Ethan Barnes, "Master, there’s news about Carlotta."

What?

The words exploded like a bomb, Celeste Linden’s heart trembled heavily, and Ethan Barnes stiffened at the door.

"What did you say? Speak clearly!" Ethan Barnes stepped forward, emotionally grabbing the aide’s collar.

His eyes were red, his pupils seemed bloodshot, Carlotta, she was his Carlotta.

"Master, we’ve discovered Miss Carlotta," the aide said.

Carlotta was supposed to be dead, but now Carlotta has come back to life.

Celeste Linden’s shock was indescribable.

Ethan Barnes released the aide, bolting outside, "Where is Carlotta? Gather the people immediately, I want to see Carlotta now! I want to bring Carlotta home!"

Ethan Barnes left with his crew in a hurry.

Celeste Linden sat alone in the bathtub, only gradually coming to her senses. The white moonlight deep within Ethan Barnes’s heart has returned.

Truly a white moonlight. Just hearing the name made him tense with excitement, losing control over himself.

One moment he was on the verge of stripping for her; the next, he threw her aside to seek his white moonlight.

Celeste Linden felt no sadness, no grief; instead, she felt joy, sheer joy. His Carlotta returned, so she, the substitute shadow, no longer has a purpose, right? He’ll let her go, right?

Even if he doesn’t let her go, he won’t enter her room to bother her.

It’s wonderful; she’s survived a crisis, all thanks to Carlotta’s return.

Celeste Linden bathed, climbed into bed, and had a wonderful, restful sleep, dreamless throughout the night.

By the time she awoke, it was morning. She opened the door to find the maids busily working outside.

"Hurry up, Miss Carlotta has just been brought back by the master, treating her like a treasure; be careful to serve, and make no mistakes."

"Miss Carlotta likes white dresses, quickly arrange for the customization of white dresses."

"Miss Carlotta likes mild flavors; change the cooks, find those from The Riverlands."

"All the sofas and carpets here must be changed to her favorite colors, quickly."
