Substitute Bride: Utterly Pampered by Her Billionaire Husband Chapter 1695: Taken Into the Room

After she mentioned it, Ethan Barnes quickly furrowed his sword-like brows, "What kind of anomaly?"

Carlotta looked at Ethan Barnes. His current expression was calm, without any sign of being unusual, and she suddenly felt puzzled. What’s going on?

The noblewoman had given her a bottle of spray, which she sprayed on herself. It was colorless and odorless, but Ethan Barnes would definitely have a reaction once he caught the scent.

Earlier, she deliberately hugged him, and he must have already caught a whiff of the scent.

But he actually had no reaction.

Carlotta’s mind was in turmoil as she scrutinized Ethan Barnes up and down.

However, Ethan Barnes remained very calm. He slowly squinted his narrow eyes at her, "Have you secretly used some underhanded means?"

"I... I didn’t!"

"It’s best if you haven’t. Carlotta, you’d better not challenge my bottom line." After saying this, Ethan Barnes turned on his heel and left.

"Don’t go!" Carlotta reached out and grabbed him, wanting one last chance to hold onto him.

But Ethan Barnes mercilessly pulled his sleeve back, not giving her a glance as he quickly left the place.

Carlotta stood frozen in place by herself, angrily clenching her fists. That noblewoman really wasn’t reliable; that spray was utterly useless.

What "last night"? Nothing happened at all tonight.

Is that it? Is it really just going to end like this?

She really couldn’t reconcile with this outcome.

...

Ethan Barnes walked down the corridor. He hadn’t shown it in front of Carlotta, but he’d already been affected.

His body was continuously heating up, wave after wave of heat crashing over him, almost drowning him.

That Carlotta actually used such deceitful tricks on him. Ethan Barnes had seen it all but hadn’t expected her to resort to this.

This time, he’d truly lost hope in her.

"Boss." At this time, a few trusted subordinates approached. They quickly noticed the anomaly with Ethan Barnes, "Boss, what’s happening to you?"

Ethan Barnes whispered, "I’ve been drugged. Go get me some antidote."

What?

The trusted subordinates immediately said, "Boss, who dared to lay hands on you? This person must have a death wish. We’ll capture her right away!"

Forget it, consider it paid off. From now on, they’ll go their separate ways without any entanglement.

Ethan Barnes narrowed his handsome eyes, "What are you talking about? Just go find the antidote."

"Yes, Boss. Hold on a bit." The trusted subordinates went to get the antidote.

Ethan Barnes stopped walking and leaned his back against the wall to catch his breath when a small, delicate figure appeared.

It was Danielle.

"Uncle, what are you doing here too?" Danielle asked in a sweet, childish voice.

Seeing his daughter, Ethan Barnes’s heart immediately softened, "Danielle, you’re alone? Where’s your mommy?"

"My mommy is in the room. Uncle, are you looking for my mommy?"

Looking for her?

She probably doesn’t want to see him.

At this time, Danielle extended her little hand and tugged at his sleeve, "Uncle, I’ll take you to find my mommy."

"Okay."

Danielle led Ethan Barnes into a room, but Celeste Linden wasn’t there, "Uncle, my mommy might be with my aunt. You sit here for a while, and I’ll go get her back."

With that, Danielle bounced out of the room.

Once Danielle left, Ethan Barnes waited in the room, but his body continued heating up, and he felt the need to take a cold shower.

Ethan Barnes quickly walked into the bathroom and began taking a cold shower.

Just then, with a "click," the room door suddenly opened, and Celeste Linden returned.

Celeste Linden had no idea Danielle had gone to find her. Upon hearing the sound of running water in the bathroom, she immediately said, "Danielle, are you taking a shower? Can you manage by yourself? Mommy will come in and help you."
