Celeste relaxes after a bath, only for Ethan Barnes to arrive unexpectedly. He enters to see their sleeping daughter, Danielle. While he's with Danielle, Ethan receives a call from Carlotta, who expresses jealousy and demands a video call to confirm he's alone.

Ethan Barnes’ expression didn’t change much, but his tone lowered, sounding a bit soft, "No, it won’t."

On the other side, Carlotta clearly became happy, "Honey, then you carry on, I’m going to sleep now, won’t disturb you."

Carlotta hung up the phone.

Ethan Barnes tucked Danielle in and then stood up, walking to the front of the bathroom door. He raised his hand, and his well-defined knuckles knocked on the door, making a "knock knock" sound.

Celeste Linden opened the room door, "Did you make the call?"

"Yeah." Ethan Barnes’ gaze landed on her little face, looked at it, and then took out his phone, "What’s your phone number? I want to save it."

"Why do you need my phone number?"

Ethan Barnes’s handsome eyelids moved, looking into her slightly wary eyes, he hooked his thin lips, "It’ll be easier to contact you in the future, I’m here to see the child."

Celeste Linden did not give out her phone number immediately. She considered for a moment and then said, "You are Danielle’s father, I don’t oppose you coming to see Danielle, but, what if your wife finds out about this? Have you ever weighed between your wife and Danielle?"

Continuing, Celeste Linden said, "Your wife’s personality, I knew it three years ago, she is a bit extreme, can’t take any shocks, I think she would be very concerned about Danielle suddenly appearing in your life."

"Besides, I have my own considerations, after all, you are married. I don’t want Danielle to be talked about as an illegitimate child, the past three years, Danielle and I have lived well."

Ethan Barnes’s narrow eyes looked very deep, quietly falling on her face without knowing what he was thinking, after a long time he finally said, "I understood, you still don’t want me to disturb your life."

Celeste Linden did not refute, which was considered as a tacit agreement.

The past three years, they lived well, and he and Carlotta also lived well, that was enough, she didn’t want any chaos and disorder in her life.

Ethan Barnes put away his phone, "Alright."

He said one word, then left there.

Celeste Linden lay beside Danielle, reaching out to embrace Danielle in her arms and kissed her daughter’s forehead.

...

Celeste Linden had been working here for three days, there was a fashion show here, and as the chief designer, she had to attend.

At the fashion show, a waiter led Celeste Linden to the VIP audience seat, "angel, this is your seat, please sit."

"Okay, thank you." Celeste Linden sat down.

Soon, a familiar voice came from behind, "Honey, this fashion show is very famous, the models will be wearing their new season’s items, even spending money, it’s hard to get. I love this brand’s clothes, I’m going to buy two more pieces to take home later."

Suddenly, Celeste Linden shivered slightly, she felt the voice was somewhat familiar, as if an old acquaintance had returned.

Sure enough, a familiar male voice followed suit, "Sure, buy whatever you like."

Celeste Linden looked up, seeing Ethan Barnes with Carlotta.

After three years, Carlotta seemed to be living well, dressed in luxurious clothes of a noblewoman, her hair was styled up, and her jewelry was especially dazzling, with pearls and agates, she was full of smiles, holding Ethan Barnes’s strong arm, happily talking to him.

Ethan Barnes’s expression was very gentle; to outsiders, they indeed looked like quite a loving couple.

Celeste Linden didn’t expect the encounter to come so suddenly, she looked up at them.

At that moment, Carlotta also saw her.
