Substitute Bride: Utterly Pampered by Her Billionaire Husband Chapter 1678: Have You Really Forgotten Him?

Ethan Barnes knows that Daniel Langdon is sincere, genuinely admiring and adoring Celeste Linden.

"Do you know she has a daughter?"

Daniel nods, "I know, little Danielle, she’s as delicate as carved jade, with a baby-like charm. I really like Danielle, and Danielle likes me too. We get along very well."

"Aren’t you curious about who Danielle’s father is?"

"No."

"Why not?"

"That man is just part of angel’s past. I just want to have angel’s present and future. Besides, I like Danielle so much that she will be like my own daughter in the future."

As he spoke, Daniel curled his lips into a smile, "Ethan, we grew up together, and actually, I won’t hide it from you. Angel tried to tell me several times, but I didn’t want to hear it because I don’t want to know who that man is. If I knew, I would be crazy jealous. What kind of man in this world could have such a wonderful angel and also father such a lovely Danielle?"

Ethan has nothing more to say. Daniel is genuine at heart, and if Celeste truly marries him, she will surely be happy.

Ethan turned off the faucet, looked up at himself in the mirror. On the surface, he seemed normal and untroubled, but there was darkness deep in his eyes.

He knew that three years ago, he had lost them forever.

...

In the restaurant.

Carlotta and Celeste sat facing each other. Carlotta smiled, "Angel, it’s clear Daniel really likes you. I sincerely wish you happiness."

Celeste curled her lips, "Thank you."

Just then, Ethan and Daniel emerged, the dinner had ended, and the four of them walked out together.

"Daniel, we’re leaving now, goodbye."

Ethan opened the passenger car door for Carlotta to get in, then returned to the driver’s seat and drove away.

Daniel and Celeste stood watching until the car disappeared from sight. Daniel looked at Celeste tenderly, "Angel, thank you."

Today, Daniel acted first and reported later. Celeste hadn’t known he invited Ethan and Carlotta, nor did she know he would introduce her as his girlfriend.

For the past three years, Daniel has been pursuing her, but Celeste hasn’t officially accepted him. Last time in the car, when Ethan asked if he was her boyfriend, she deliberately said yes because she didn’t want any more ties with Ethan.

Today, in front of Ethan and Carlotta, she had to go along with his act.

"You’re welcome, but don’t do it again."

"Angel, are you really not planning to accept me?"

Celeste looked Daniel in the eye, "Daniel, I know you’re exceptional, and for these three years, you’ve taken great care of me and Danielle. I’m grateful, but..."

Celeste glanced in the direction Ethan had disappeared, "Do you know who Danielle’s father is? Danielle’s father is..."

"Angel, I don’t want to hear it, you don’t need to tell me this." Daniel quickly interrupted Celeste.

Celeste frowned. Every time she wanted to tell Daniel, he reacted this way, saying he didn’t want to hear.

But she must say it.

He and Ethan are childhood friends; she must tell him this.

Besides, part of the reason she doesn’t accept Daniel is this.

Actually, after three years, Celeste has moved on with her life. She’s open to relationships, marriage, finding a father for Danielle.

But Daniel is Ethan’s brother, and she feels it’s not right.

"Angel, have you really forgotten about Danielle’s father?" Daniel suddenly asked.
