Substitute Bride: Utterly Pampered by Her Billionaire Husband Chapter 1690: Divorce

"Wow, sister-in-law is not only beautiful, but even her figure is amazing."

A few trusted subordinates stared at Celeste Linden, their eyes almost glued.

At that moment, they felt a sharp gaze fall upon their faces. Turning their heads, they saw Ethan Barnes looking at them coldly, sending shivers down their spines.

"Bo... boss, we saw nothing," the subordinates quickly covered their eyes and shifted away.

Ethan Barnes leaned alone against the large rock.

That’s when Carlotta came over. She reached out, hugging Ethan, pressing her shapely body against him, "Honey~"

Carlotta had sent the noblewoman away, creating an opportunity to be alone with Ethan.

Now was an excellent moment; being close like this could easily deepen their relationship.

But Ethan reached out and pushed Carlotta away, "Carlotta, you’re just in time. We can discuss that matter now."

He wanted to discuss things with her again.

"Honey, I’ve already said I don’t want to talk..."

"Carlotta, let’s get a divorce." Ethan interrupted her bluntly.

What?

What did he say?

Even though Carlotta had mentally prepared herself, when Ethan uttered those heartless words, she was still profoundly shocked. He really wanted to divorce her?

"Ethan, you want to divorce me? How could you even think of divorcing me? Don’t you remember that if it hadn’t been for saving you back then, I wouldn’t have ended up like this?"

Ethan showed little expression, looking at Carlotta, "Even if we divorce, I’ll ensure the remainder of your life is taken care of. Consider it compensation. Actually, a divorce won’t affect you much; you can continue this luxurious lifestyle."

Carlotta was stunned. Indeed, divorce seemed to have no effect on her; after all, he never touched her, and she had been living like a widow.

Yet, the more it was like this, the more sorrowful Carlotta felt. Her eyes reddened, "I refuse. I won’t divorce you!"

"Carlotta, I’m merely informing you of this. You can stay in the house; I’ll move out." After saying that, Ethan turned to leave.

Could he be so heartlessly cruel?

Carlotta was furious. She picked up a smooth pebble and hurled it forcefully at the back of Ethan’s head.

The stone caused Ethan to bleed, but he didn’t mind. Without stopping, he quickly left the scene.

Celeste Linden had no idea what had happened here. After parting with Willow Crawford, she went to soak alone in the hot spring.

Just then, a familiar silhouette approached - it was Ethan Barnes.

They ran into each other again.

Celeste shot him a glance but didn’t greet him. She didn’t want to stay in the same place as him, so she turned to leave.

But at that moment, a large hand reached over and grabbed her slender wrist, "Celeste Linden, are you pretending now?"

What?

Celeste turned and looked at him, "What am I pretending to be?"

"Pretending not to know me? Celeste Linden, are we really strangers?"

"... Major General, haven’t you heard the saying that every proper ex should stay buried?" Celeste said as she attempted to withdraw her wrist from his grasp.

But Ethan pulled her directly into his embrace, "Celeste Linden, so, I’m your ex?"

He wasn’t wearing a shirt, and Celeste crashed into his solid chest. It hurt, she felt like her nose was going to be bent out of shape.
