Substitute Bride: Utterly Pampered by Her Billionaire Husband Chapter 1689: Don’t Be Shy

Celeste Linden, "..."

"Mommy, girls are supposed to date, so you don’t need to worry about me. You can date whoever you like. Besides, I really like Uncle Ethan~"

Celeste was startled. Did Danielle like Ethan Barnes?

In fact, she had already noticed. Danielle had a tiny bit of shyness the first time she saw Ethan in the elevator, and every time after that when she saw Ethan, she would smile sweetly. It was obvious that Danielle really liked Ethan.

"Danielle, you’ve met many uncles, including Uncle Daniel Langdon. Of all these uncles, who do you like the most?" Celeste deliberately mentioned Daniel for Danielle to choose.

Danielle thought for a moment, "I also like Uncle Daniel, but compared to Uncle Ethan, I like Uncle Ethan more. I want Uncle Ethan to be my daddy~"

Danielle chose Ethan without hesitation.

Uh...

Alright, Celeste had nothing to say.

At this moment, Morgan Ashworth and Willow Crawford came out. Willow had already changed out of that black swimsuit and was wearing a relatively conservative one instead.

However, Willow’s face was still flushed, looking captivating. A woman blossoming in love is indeed different.

"Sister, you changed your swimsuit? Why are you wearing a cape outside?" Willow asked in surprise.

Celeste had changed her swimsuit but had wrapped a cape around herself, "Willow, I’ll just stay like this for now."

"Oh sister, look around, which girl here is wearing a cape? Quickly take it off and show your nice figure."

Willow and Celeste playfully bantered.

Ethan Barnes stood at the back, not moving, and was watching Celeste. Even after she disappeared from his view, he showed no sign of leaving.

At this point, Carlotta and that elegant lady came over. Carlotta immediately ran up and linked her arm with him, "Honey, you’re here! You’re so nice. I knew you would come to keep me company."

Ethan looked at Carlotta blandly, then reached out to push her away, "I have something I want to tell you."

Seeing his cold and serious expression, Carlotta’s heart inexplicably skipped a beat. She instinctively didn’t want to hear what he had to say.

"Honey, go and change your clothes first. Whatever it is, let’s talk about it at home," Carlotta deflected, not wanting to lose face in front of the elegant lady.

Ethan pursed his thin lips and then turned to go change his clothes.

...

Ethan had brought along a few of his trusted subordinates. Once they changed, they all entered the hot spring pool, but Ethan didn’t go to find Carlotta. Instead, he leaned against a rock by himself, closing his eyes to rest a bit.

At this moment, the excited voice of his subordinate, No. 4, came from nearby, "Boss, look! It’s sister-in-law!"

The "sister-in-law" wasn’t referring to Carlotta but to Celeste Linden. These trusted subordinates were all super fond of Celeste.

Ethan opened his eyes and saw Celeste arriving at the poolside. Willow in the pool waved to her, "Sister, come in quickly."

Celeste stepped into the hot spring pool.

At that moment, Willow reached out and directly yanked off Celeste’s cape.

With a splash, Celeste entered the pool, sending a cascade of water upwards. Her strands of hair by her cheek got wet, and the floral swimsuit accentuated her fair and delicate skin. Her graceful figure was faintly visible in the pool, incredibly enticing.

"Ah, Willow!" Celeste, feeling shy, wrapped her slender arms around herself.

"Sister, don’t be shy," Willow splashed the water playfully.

Celeste smiled and splashed the water back.

Ethan’s gaze lingered on Celeste, seemingly unable to look away, staring intently...
