Substitute Bride: Utterly Pampered by Her Billionaire Husband Chapter 1703: Eliminated by Love

With Ethan Barnes’s current status, suppressing public opinion is an easy task.

Ethan Barnes turned and went to Celeste Linden’s room.

He raised his hand and pressed the doorbell.

After a while, the door opened, and Celeste Linden appeared at the doorway.

"Where’s Danielle? Was Danielle scared?"

Celeste Linden immediately put her finger to her lips, making a "shh" gesture for silence, and said softly, "Danielle wasn’t scared. She has already fallen asleep, so be quiet and don’t disturb her."

Ethan Barnes nodded, "Then I’ll go in and see Danielle."

But Celeste Linden held the door and didn’t make way, blocking him from entering.

Ethan Barnes paused, raising his long, narrow eyes to look at her, "What is it, can’t I go in to see Danielle?"

Celeste Linden furrowed her elegant brows, "Tomorrow I’m leaving here with Danielle to settle abroad. I came here for work, and now that work is over, it’s time for Danielle and I to go."

She was going to leave with Danielle?

Where to?

She didn’t seem to want to tell him.

Celeste Linden looked at him with her clean, graceful eyes, "Ethan Barnes, after Danielle and I leave, I hope you won’t come looking for us. We’ve had a peaceful three years, and I don’t want you to disrupt our originally calm life."

Ethan Barnes pressed his thin lips together, "But Danielle is my daughter."

"Then you should protect Danielle even more, shouldn’t you? Without you, we’ve been better off. I don’t want the storms I’ve faced to be repeated on Danielle."

Ethan Barnes stood against the light, unable to see clearly the expression on his face, "Celeste Linden, are you really that heartless?"

If this is heartlessness, then let it be...

Celeste Linden extended her hand and directly closed the door.

Ethan Barnes stood alone outside, wanting very much to knock, but remembering Danielle was already asleep, he had to endure it.

Celeste Linden said she wants to leave, and he wants to capture her and keep her within his domain, never letting her escape his grasp.

But the past events, he doesn’t want to repeat them.

He doesn’t want her and Danielle to hate him.

Ethan Barnes’s hands hanging at his sides clench into fists fiercely, realizing for the first time that liking someone is indulgence, while love... is restraint.

At this moment, a tall and elegant figure appeared, it was Morgan Ashworth.

Morgan Ashworth had already heard about Carlotta’s tantrum, so he came over, "General, regarding your lady General’s scandal, can you handle it properly?"

"I don’t want my sister and Danielle to be hurt. If you can’t handle your lady General, just say the word, I can take care of it for you."

Morgan Ashworth was already quite displeased and was merely informing Ethan Barnes.

Ethan Barnes looked at Morgan Ashworth, "This is my matter, no need for President Ashworth to worry."

"That’s the best thing. General, tomorrow my sister and Danielle will leave here. I hope you don’t cause trouble; Danielle is still very young and shouldn’t be hurt because of adult issues. You shouldn’t involve my sister in your and your lady General’s affairs. There’s not one good person among you, but my sister is innocent, and you owe her a lot over these years, something you can never repay."

Ethan Barnes’s handsome features became grim and tense, indeed, he owed her far too much.

Three years ago he chose to rescue Carlotta, and at that moment he lost his right to have her and Danielle.

He’s already been judged out of love.

But tomorrow, to let her go right before his eyes?
