Substitute Bride: Utterly Pampered by Her Billionaire Husband Chapter 1705: Careful!

Celeste Linden was genuinely happy. She reached out and called to little Joy and little Danielle, "Joy, hurry over here, your daddy and mommy have prepared a gift for you."

The two little cuties quickly ran over. Little Joy asked expectantly, "What gift?"

Morgan Ashworth reached out and rubbed his son’s little head. "Ethan, from now on you need to watch where you’re going, you can’t bump into your mommy. From now on, your mommy and little Mimi will be protected by the two of us, father and son, together."

Little Mimi?

Little Joy’s eyes lit up at once. He hurriedly reached out his small hand to touch Willow Crawford’s belly. "Mommy, is there a little Mimi in here now? Do I really have a little Mimi?"

Willow Crawford didn’t know whether the baby in her belly was a boy or a girl, but boy or girl, it was fine by her—she liked both.

"Joy, it could also be a little brother, you know."

"Impossible, Mommy’s belly definitely has a little Mimi. This is great, I have a Mimi." Little Joy happily planted a kiss on Willow’s belly.

Celeste Linden laughed. "Willow, they say letting kids guess boy or girl is the most accurate. Looks like this little Mimi is a sure thing."

Seeing this, little Danielle piped up in her milky voice, "Mommy, Mommy, Aunt Willow has a little baby now, so when are you going to have a little baby? I want a little brother too."

Celeste Linden: "..."

She could satisfy her daughter’s every request, but adding another little brother...she really didn’t think she could manage that.

"Danielle, your tummy must be hungry. Let’s go have breakfast."

...

After breakfast, Morgan Ashworth and Willow Crawford drove Celeste Linden to the airport. The assistant was pushing the luggage, and Celeste was holding little Danielle’s hand. "Danielle, say goodbye to Uncle Morgan, Aunt Willow, and big brother Joy. We’re going to leave here now."

Little Danielle was very reluctant to part. She stretched out her little arms and hugged little Joy. "Joy, next time you have to come find me to play, okay? I’ll miss you."

"Sis, call us when you get there and let us know you’re safe."

"Okay. Travel is so convenient now, no need to be sad—we’ll be able to see each other again soon." As she spoke, Celeste Linden took Danielle’s hand and waved. "We’re off."

"Goodbye."

Celeste Linden took Danielle through security, and Danielle turned her head to look back.

"Danielle, what are you looking at?" Celeste asked curiously.

Danielle’s big dark eyes swept around the airport hall. "Mommy, I’m looking for Daddy. Isn’t Daddy coming with us?"

Ever since learning about her background, Danielle had naturally accepted Ethan Barnes as her daddy. Now she was looking for Ethan.

Celeste Linden’s eyelashes trembled. "Danielle, don’t look for him. Daddy won’t come. He’s not going with us."

"Why?"

How was she supposed to explain?

"Danielle, things between adults are very complicated. When you’re a bit older, Mommy will tell you."

Danielle nodded blankly. "Okay."

Celeste Linden, Danielle, and the assistant walked inside. The private jet was already parked on the wide apron. Celeste led Danielle, getting ready to board the plane.

At that moment, a man wearing a cleaner’s uniform walked over. He had a baseball cap pulled very low on his head, so his face couldn’t be seen. He strode over in a rush, barging straight ahead, about to crash into little Danielle.

"Danielle, careful!" Celeste’s reaction was quick as she yanked Danielle to her side. "Danielle, are you okay?"

The man suddenly stopped. A cold flash glinted in his hand—there was now a sharp knife in it...
