Substitute Bride: Utterly Pampered by Her Billionaire Husband Chapter 1664: Stay with Me Tonight

Celeste Linden glanced at Ethan Barnes’ tall back and smiled softly, "Maybe... that’s his responsibility."

...

Ethan Barnes came out with Carlotta, and at this moment, Danielle was brought over by Aunt Zhou, who held her small hand, "Danielle, your mommy’s done. We can go find her now. Mommy said she’ll take you out for a big dinner tonight."

"Really? That’s great." Danielle jumped up and down with joy.

At this time, Danielle saw Ethan Barnes. Her eyes lit up—hey, wasn’t he the guy who kept staring at her in the elevator that day?

Danielle looked at him curiously.

Ethan Barnes also saw the adorable Danielle. Father and daughter locked eyes, then passed by each other.

"Sir, please get in the car." The aide opened the rear door; Carlotta got in first, and Ethan Barnes remained outside.

Ethan Barnes turned his head and saw Danielle being led inside by Aunt Zhou. Maybe it was intuition, but Danielle suddenly looked back at him as well.

Danielle smiled at him, her smiling face as sweet as her mother’s, her eyes twinkling like stars shining brightly.

Danielle disappeared.

Carlotta, not seeing Ethan Barnes get in the car for a long time, stuck her head out and asked, "Honey, why aren’t you getting in?"

Carlotta followed Ethan Barnes’ gaze but saw no one there.

Ethan Barnes blandly withdrew his gaze, "It’s nothing."

Then he got in the car.

The luxury car sped away.

...

Back at the residence, Carlotta took a rose petal bath, making herself smell lovely, and she chose a cool spaghetti strap nightdress before walking out.

Ethan Barnes was also in the room, standing alone in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, one hand in his pocket, a cigarette between the fingers of his other hand.

The ashtray was already full of cigarette butts; he had smoked a lot.

Carlotta walked over and hugged his sculpted waist from behind, "Honey, why haven’t you taken a shower yet?"

Ethan Barnes exhaled a puff of smoke, "You go ahead and sleep. I still have work to do and will sleep in the study later."

Carlotta tensed for a moment and quickly moved in front of Ethan Barnes, "Honey, don’t sleep in the study tonight, let’s sleep together."

Ethan Barnes removed her hands from his body and lightly tapped the cigarette ash into the ashtray, his jawline hidden in the smoke appeared gloomy, "I still have work..."

"Work, work, 365 days a year, you work every day, sleep in the study every night, I’m your wife, yet we have no married life, every day I feel like a widow," Carlotta complained.

Ethan Barnes didn’t show much expression, "If you’re bored, you can play cards, buy clothes, as long as you’re happy."

With that, Ethan Barnes turned to leave.

"Honey, have you not forgotten Celeste Linden?" Carlotta loudly questioned his back.

Ethan Barnes paused in his tracks.

"Or maybe, I should ask, in these three years, have you ever forgotten her for a single minute!"

Ethan Barnes turned around, slightly furrowing his brows.

Seeing his displeasure, Carlotta hugged him again, "Honey, I’m sorry, I just got too angry and spoke without thinking. Don’t work tonight, stay with me in the room, okay?"

Saying this, Carlotta rose on tiptoe and kissed Ethan Barnes on the handsome face.

Ethan Barnes didn’t dodge, his face was kissed several times by her.

At this moment, Carlotta hooked her arms around his neck and kissed his thin lips.

Ethan Barnes stood still, letting her kiss him.
