Ethan Barnes and Daniel Langdon discuss Celeste Linden and her daughter, Danielle. Daniel professes his genuine love for both Celeste and Danielle, stating he doesn't need to know Danielle's father as he wishes to be her father figure. Ethan seems conflicted, reflecting on a past loss. Later, Celeste and Daniel meet Ethan and Carlotta for dinner. Daniel introduces Celeste as his girlfriend, which Celeste goes along with to distance herself from Ethan. Celeste attempts to reveal Danielle's father's identity to Daniel, but he interrupts, stating he doesn't want to know, which troubles Celeste.

"What?"

"Angel, you’ve already started a new life, but why do you still mention him? Maybe you haven’t even realized that when you’re planning your life and future, it seems like you’re still influenced by him."

Celeste Linden’s heart fluttered, is it really like this?

No.

Celeste shook her head, "I only do this because he’s Danielle’s father, we have a daughter together."

At this moment, a melodious phone ringtone echoed, a call was coming in.

"Excuse me, I need to take this call."

Celeste stepped aside to answer the call, it was from Willow Crawford. On the other end, Little Danielle’s sweet baby voice came through, "Mommy~"

Celeste responded with an "ah", on such a night with the spring breeze, the hazy yellow light cast down, enveloping her beautiful, gentle profile in a layer of soft, radiant glow.

Daniel Langdon stood behind her, watching. This girl, he had wanted her from the first moment he saw her three years ago.

However, he always felt he couldn’t get close to her.

Daniel pulled out a photo from his album, it was one he had secretly taken just now in the western restaurant. He posted it on his social media.

...

Ethan Barnes and Carlotta went back home, Ethan went to his study, he took out his phone and soon saw Daniel’s social media post.

Daniel had posted a photo of him and Celeste in the restaurant holding hands, with a string of English: mylove.

Mylove.

My love.

Ethan took out a cigarette from the pack, silently lit it, and once again immersed himself in a cloud of smoke.

At this moment, Carlotta pushed the door open and came to his side, "Hubby, are you working late again tonight?"

Ethan tapped the ash into the ashtray, "Hmm, you go to sleep first."

Carlotta came behind Ethan and started to massage his shoulders, "Hubby, I want to discuss something with you. I want to have a baby."

Ethan paused in his smoking, his narrow eyes through the swirling smoke fell on Carlotta, "You’re bored again, you can go play cards or buy clothes."

"I don’t want to do those anymore, I’m tired of them, so boring."

"So you just want to have a baby to play with?"

"Yes, I’m at the age where I should have a child and become a mom. Hubby, don’t you want to be a dad? I promise, once we have a child, I’ll definitely be a good wife and mother, I won’t lose my temper anymore."

Ethan showed no expression, "You can have anything you want, except a child."

"Hubby!"

"This is non-negotiable, go back to your room." Ethan directly issued an ultimatum.

Looking at his cold and decisive jaw, without any room for negotiation, Carlotta stomped her foot in anger and then indignantly returned to the room.

The room was empty, only she was there, Carlotta truly wanted to have a child, at least when he’s out late, she’d have the child for company.

But over the past three years, whenever she mentioned this topic, his attitude became unyielding.

Plus, he felt nothing physically towards her, she simply had no chance to have a baby!

Carlotta twisted the bedcover with her fingers, almost tearing it apart.

...

Celeste Linden returned home, Little Danielle and Little Joy were playing together, having a great time.

"Sis, you’re back?" Willow Crawford smiled and said.

"Hmm." Celeste opened the toys she brought for the two children, "Willow, hasn’t Miles come back yet?"

"Hmm, he has work tonight."

At this time, Willow’s phone rang, it was Serena Sterling calling. She arranged for Mommy to come over to perform hypnosis, to recover past memories.
