Celeste Linden walked into the spa bath assuming Danielle was inside, only to find Ethan Barnes showering there. He claimed Danielle had invited him, and playfully accused Celeste of provoking him by barging in and staring. When Celeste tried to leave, Ethan pulled her into the shower with him, preventing her escape and suggesting she tell Danielle he is her father.

Celeste Linden furrowed her brows, "Ethan Barnes, what do you actually want to do?"

"Don’t you understand what I want? I’ve already separated from Carlotta; there are no more ties between us. I want my own daughter, and I want you too, Celeste Linden, marry me."

It seems he’s serious.

Celeste didn’t expect him to change so quickly, and she never thought about being with him with Danielle, much less marrying him, something she never considered.

"Ethan, I won’t marry you." She flatly rejected him.

Ethan frowned, "Why? Do you really like Daniel Langdon?"

"Who I like has nothing to do with you; anyway, I don’t like you."

She said she didn’t like him.

Ethan’s handsome face turned cold instantly, and he glared angrily at her.

Why is he looking at her like this?

Does she have to like him?

The atmosphere between the two was stifling; now Celeste was already soaked all over, trapped here made things somewhat ambiguous, and she began to struggle again, "Let me go."

But Ethan pulled her into his arms and then lowered his head to block her red lips.

He didn’t want to hear her speak.

Mmh.

Celeste’s eyes widened in terror, staring at him. How could he force a kiss on her?

She clenched her fists and punched him hard, trying to push him away, "Let go! Let me go now!"

Taking the opportunity when she opened her mouth, Ethan seized the chance and deeply kissed her.

All the sensations within him were awakening. Ethan was also a normal man; he hadn’t had any indulgences for three years, combined with the drug’s potency swirling inside him. His kiss landed on her cheek, then kissed his way down to her snow-white earlobe, "Celeste, you are mine!"

Celeste’s slender white fingertips touched his body; he was so hot, she trembled and uttered, "Wait, you... what’s wrong?"

Ethan grabbed her small hand, his long eyes filled with crimson, and he said hoarsely, "Carlotta drugged me, I’m under the influence."

What?

Carlotta actually drugged him?

Celeste now had only one thought, and that was to escape, "This time, it truly was... Carlotta did wrong, even if your health is bad, she shouldn’t have drugged you like this. How about this, you let me go first, I’ll find an antidote for you outside."

Ethan looked at her hesitant appearance, all she wanted was to escape, he coldly said, "Celeste, do you think I’m stupid? If I let you go, will you really come back?"

"I will, I definitely will come back." To show her sincerity, Celeste looked at him with innocent eyes full of genuine faith.

Ethan’s throat bobbed up and down, "I don’t need you to go find an antidote, because someone has already delivered it."

"Where is the antidote? Let me get it for you." Celeste searched around for the antidote.

At this moment, Ethan extended his strong arm to hold her in his embrace, she looked so clueless like a rabbit unaware of danger, adorable in her silly innocence and incomparable purity.

"You are the antidote sent to me, you’re the antidote, Celeste," he said slowly, laughing with each word.

Celeste inhaled sharply, "..."

At this moment, Ethan spun her around, pushing her against the wall, his elegant fingers pinching her petite jaw, kissing her coveted red lips again.

Celeste was kissed breathlessly by him, "Ethan, stop! Are you trying to do what you did to me before?"
