Morgan and Willow share an intimate moment, leading Morgan to forget his promise to take their son, Joy, to change. Celeste steps in to help a confused Joy and Danielle, while Carlotta shows off her figure to Ethan via video call.

Carlotta was very confident, eagerly anticipating seeing a look of amazement on Ethan Barnes’ face.

But she was disappointed because Ethan merely glanced at her indifferently and said expressionlessly, "Play wherever you want, as long as you’re happy."

Carlotta’s heart instantly sank to the bottom, the more she had expected earlier, the more disappointed she was now. It was always the same with him, just a simple ’as long as you’re happy.’

"Darling, I’m at Elysium Hot Springs right now, come and join me," Carlotta said angrily.

"I don’t have the time, play by yourself," Ethan said, about to hang up the call.

"Darling, don’t hang up, you have to come today or I’ll be mad..." Carlotta babbled on.

Ethan’s finger hovered over the screen, about to hang up directly, but then a soft voice chimed in, "Joy brother, wait for me."

Ethan’s fingers paused, almost instantly recognizing Danielle’s voice.

He looked up, and sure enough, in Carlotta’s video, he saw a fleeting glimpse of Danielle, who had also gone to Elysium Hot Springs to play.

"Wait there, I’ll be right over," Ethan said and hung up the video call.

He was coming.

Carlotta felt a rush of joy and excitement; he still cared about her. With a bit of coaxing, he came rushing over, making Carlotta’s heart feel exceptionally sweet.

"Wow, Mrs. Admiral, the Admiral spoils you so much; even while dealing with a myriad of matters outside, just one word from you can conjure him over. In the whole world, there’s probably only you who has such alluring charm to command the Admiral." That lady started to flatter.

Carlotta loved this kind of stuff the most, her entire being blossoming with smiles.

...

Soon, a Jeep pulled up at the entrance of Elysium Hot Springs, and Ethan got out of the car.

He was dressed in a black jacket, black boots on his feet. His appearance immediately "shua" attracted everyone’s gaze, as he stepped directly inside with long strides.

Inside, there were many young and beautiful girls who saw Ethan and whispered excitedly,

"Look over there, a super handsome guy just walked in."

"Wow, he’s really handsome; should we go up and strike a conversation, maybe ask for his contact details?"

"You go ahead if you dare."

"I don’t dare, that handsome guy looks so aloof."...

Ethan ignored those glances, heading straight inside, trying to find Danielle.

In the next moment, he suddenly stopped, because he saw a gentle and beautiful figure ahead—it was Celeste Linden.

He had guessed Celeste would be here too; she’s a great mom, and aside from her work, she devoted all her time, love, and care to their daughter. Today, she must have brought Danielle here to play.

He just didn’t expect to see her at first glance, she appeared so unexpectedly.

Ethan couldn’t control his steps, he walked toward her.

Celeste had brought two little babies out to play; it was their first time at such a place, the two little ones were going wild, and she could only follow behind.

"Joy, Danielle, be careful ahead, don’t bump into others, don’t fall," Celeste worriedly advised.

But she didn’t notice water on the ground underfoot, and as she stepped on it, she slipped immediately.

Agh!

Celeste exclaimed, her whole body falling toward the ground.

She thought today was destined to be unlucky, quickly closing her eyes, awaiting her close encounter with the earth.

But then a strong arm reached over, holding her soft waist, and she collided into a broad man’s chest.
