Substitute Bride: Utterly Pampered by Her Billionaire Husband Chapter 1659: He Came to See the Child

Celeste Linden kissed her daughter, then went into the bathroom to have a nice soak and relax.

In recent years she has been an internationally renowned chief designer, not lacking money or an exquisite life, so she takes care of herself.

After taking a bath, she looked at herself in the mirror. Her pretty face, freshly bathed, was rosy and glowing with a lustrous sheen. She towel-dried the water on her body, then applied a layer of body lotion, making her skin fragrant and smooth.

She walked out of the bathroom, ready for bed.

But just then, "ding-dong," the doorbell suddenly rang.

Who could it be?

Could it be Miles or Willow?

Celeste Linden went to open the room door, and standing outside was a tall, handsome figure—it was... Ethan Barnes.

He had actually come to find her.

Today he was driving behind her and Danielle, but he left after they entered the design institute. She thought he wouldn’t come.

Celeste Linden stood stunned by the door.

Ethan Barnes, dressed in black, looked at her and parted his thin lips, "Where’s the kid?"

He came to see his daughter.

After all, he’s Danielle’s father. Celeste Linden doesn’t oppose them meeting and acknowledging each other as father and daughter; it’s their right.

"Danielle’s already asleep," she answered truthfully.

Ethan Barnes glanced into the room, "Can I go in and see the child?"

Celeste Linden stepped aside from the door, and Ethan Barnes went inside.

Danielle lay on the bed already in a sweet slumber. Ethan Barnes sat on the bed, looking at his daughter, reaching out to touch her little cheek.

A three-year-old child so small and soft, his fingertips curled at the touch, and deep in his heart, a tenderness suddenly emerged.

He didn’t like children and had a vasectomy early on, but his life still had a continuation—this was his daughter.

Ethan Barnes lowered his head and pressed a kiss on Danielle’s forehead.

Celeste Linden stood to the side, not disturbing the father and daughter, just quietly watching.

At that moment, a string of melodious phone tones rang; Ethan Barnes received a call.

Ethan Barnes took out his phone to answer, and Carlotta’s voice came quickly from the other end, "Hey darling, why aren’t you back yet? I’m so scared sleeping alone."

Because the room was very quiet, even though Ethan Barnes didn’t put the call on speaker, Celeste Linden heard Carlotta’s voice. After three years, she heard Carlotta’s voice again.

It’s said that he and Carlotta have had a great relationship over these three years, and Carlotta’s spoiled phone call at midnight seemed to confirm this.

Ethan Barnes showed no expression, softly coaxing, "I’m taking care of some things outside tonight. You go to sleep first."

"Darling, is there another woman with you? Let me make a video call so I can see." Carlotta wanted to check on him.

Ethan Barnes frowned, hung up the call, and shortly a video chat request came through.

Ethan Barnes turned to look at Celeste Linden, who was observing him with clear eyes and, clean and composed, asked, "Do you need me to step out?"

After speaking, Celeste Linden went into the bathroom.

Ethan Barnes frowned a little, then accepted the video call.

Carlotta appeared on the other end, "Darling, is there any other woman in your room?"

"No, you can see for yourself," Ethan Barnes showed Carlotta the room.

Seeing no one in the room, Carlotta happily cooed, "Darling, I didn’t mean to check on you; it’s just because I love you so much and fear those women outside would tempt you away. You don’t find me annoying, do you?"
