Substitute Bride: Utterly Pampered by Her Billionaire Husband Chapter 1696: Provocation

Celeste Linden thought Danielle was taking a bath inside, worried she might slip or fall, so she immediately pushed the door open and walked in.

"Danielle, why aren’t you calling Mommy to join you for a bath today?" Celeste Linden removed her outer coat and hung it on the wall.

Earlier, after getting out of the water, she and Willow Crawford had changed out of their swimsuits, and now she was wearing a black slip dress.

Danielle didn’t respond, but the sound of running water persisted.

The mirrors in the Elysium spa bath were frosted, not transparent, so you couldn’t see inside from the outside.

Therefore, Celeste Linden didn’t know who was inside, she stood in front of the mirror and pinned up her gentle and elegant long hair with a hair clip, then walked in with her bare, jade-like feet in the slip dress.

"Danielle, Mommy’s here." Celeste Linden reached out and opened the frosted glass.

The next moment, her slender body stiffened abruptly.

It was not Danielle inside; what entered her eyes was a tall, handsome figure.

That person turned his handsome face around, Celeste Linden’s clear pupils contracted rapidly, revealing an incredulous expression—it was... Ethan Barnes.

She never dreamed Ethan Barnes would appear here; this was her room!

"How... how are you here?"

Ethan Barnes looked at her dumbfounded expression, "Danielle brought me in."

What?

This Danielle!

Ethan Barnes curled his thin lips, revealing a mischievous smile, "Celeste Linden, today you’ve scored a lucky break, how long do you plan to keep staring at me."

With his reminder, Celeste Linden finally noticed him... he was taking a shower, he actually ran into her bath to shower.

"You pervert! Freak! Who wants to look at you!" Celeste Linden angrily cursed a few words, then turned to leave.

But Ethan Barnes reached out and grabbed her delicate wrist, pulling her inside.

Cold water immediately poured down from above Celeste Linden’s head, soaking her hair completely, and she screamed out in shock, "Ah!"

At this moment, Ethan Barnes reached out and covered her mouth, blocking her scream, "Celeste Linden, what are you screaming for?"

Celeste Linden adapted to the cold water’s temperature and looked up at him, only to see his narrowed eyes carrying a playful and teasing smile as he said, "Although I don’t mind you yelling here, if our daughter hears it, how do you plan to explain?"

"..."

Celeste Linden immediately pushed his hand away, "Ethan Barnes, let go of me, I want to go out!"

Ethan Barnes’s hand slid down, firmly holding onto her supple waist, pulling her into his embrace, "Celeste Linden, you were the first to provoke me, why do you want to run after provoking? Are you that irresponsible?"

Celeste Linden trembled with her long lashes, "How... how did I provoke you?"

"I was here having a good cold shower by myself, why did you have to barge in, and just now you said you wanted to shower with me!"

Celeste Linden gasped in surprise, when did she say she wanted to shower with him, she thought he was Danielle, she wanted to shower with Danielle.

"Ethan Barnes, today is just an accident, you better let go of me quickly, Danielle will be back soon, if she sees us together, how should I explain?" Celeste Linden struggled hard, trying to push him away.

But Ethan Barnes didn’t let go, he curved his lips and said, "Celeste Linden, it’s easy to explain, just directly tell Danielle that I’m her daddy."
