Previously on Substitute Bride: Utterly Pampered by Her Billionaire Husband...
Danielle doesn’t only have a pair of eyes that are strikingly similar to Ethan Barnes, her temperament is also inherited from her father.
Celeste Linden had nothing to say.
At this moment, a "knock knock" sound came from the door again; someone was knocking.
Who is it?
Celeste Linden immediately tensed up, still reeling from the intense battle she had just experienced, "Who? I’ll go take a look first."
At this moment, her hand was held, enveloped in a broad, calloused hand. Ethan Barnes had grabbed her, softly comforting her, "Don’t be afraid, it’s one of us."
His people have arrived?
Celeste Linden let out a big sigh of relief, so glad.
At this moment she noticed her hand was being held, she was stunned, quickly withdrawing her small hand from his palm.
Ethan Barnes watched her hurry to avoid suspicion but showed no expression.
His fingers curled slightly, the warmth of her hand lingered in his palm.
"I’ll get the door." Celeste Linden walked over to open the door.
Ethan Barnes’ trusted subordinate came to greet them, "Boss, how did you get injured, is it serious?"
Ethan Barnes shook his pale face, "It’s nothing, the bullet has been taken out, how is Samuel Barnes?"
Ethan Barnes had located Samuel Barnes’ place, gone in alone and saved Samuel Barnes with strategy.
However, on the way out, they alerted Samuel Barnes’ people. To protect Samuel Barnes, Ethan Barnes and he went separate ways; he drew all the firepower to himself.
"Boss, we’ve arranged for Samuel Barnes to go to the countryside, don’t worry, he’s very safe. Boss, we must leave here quickly."
Ethan Barnes nodded, "Alright."
At this moment, the trusted subordinate noticed Celeste Linden, "Boss, is this the sister-in-law?"
These trusted subordinates had followed Ethan Barnes through life and death, but over the three years of marriage, Carlotta had been busy visiting various malls and playing cards with wealthy wives, so these people had never met Carlotta, mistaking Celeste Linden as sister-in-law.
Other subordinates also gathered around, "Wow Boss, sister-in-law is so beautiful."
"Hello, sister-in-law."
"Hello, sister-in-law."
Everyone looked at Celeste Linden excitedly.
Celeste Linden didn’t expect the misunderstanding, she immediately waved her hand, "You’re mistaken, I’m not your sister-in-law."
"Sister-in-law, don’t be shy, we’re all one of us."
"That’s right, sister-in-law, what’s there to be embarrassed about?"
Celeste Linden, "..."
Celeste Linden glanced at Ethan Barnes, hoping he would explain.
But Ethan Barnes seemed not to see her pleading gaze, he directly commanded in a bland tone, "Let’s go."
Saying this, Ethan Barnes took Danielle’s little hand, "Danielle, let’s go."
"Okay."
...
The group got into the car, Celeste Linden could only leave with them, waiting to bring Danielle away when they reached a safe place.
In the car, Celeste Linden sat on the side, Danielle sat in the middle, Ethan Barnes sat on the other side, then "ding" a sound came, Celeste Linden’s phone rang.
She opened the text, someone had sent a message asking, "Are you asleep?"
Having barely escaped death, Celeste Linden replied, "Not yet."
The person said, "I just flew to your place, angel. We haven’t seen each other for days, have you missed me?"
Celeste Linden was tapping on the phone keyboard, just about to respond when a soft voice came to her ear, "Is that your boyfriend?"
Celeste Linden looked up, gazing at Ethan Barnes.
Only to see Ethan Barnes glance at her phone, then quickly look away.
He was asking if that was her boyfriend.
