Substitute Bride: Utterly Pampered by Her Billionaire Husband Chapter 1718: The Only Child

Danielle has never been away from her before, this is the first time, Celeste Linden hugged her daughter and kissed her twice, "Danielle, are you having fun here?"

"Yes!" Danielle nodded, "Mommy, everyone here is very nice to me, especially great-grandpa. Great-grandpa bought me lots of toys and set up a beautiful princess room for me. The only bad thing is that I can’t see mommy, I miss mommy so much."

Celeste lovingly patted Danielle’s little head, the little one hasn’t been swayed by these good things and can still think of her mommy. Truly a sweet little girl.

"I told great-grandpa that I really miss my mommy. Great-grandpa said mommy will come soon, and sure enough, great-grandpa didn’t lie to me, mommy you really came."

It seems the old man had foreseen she would come looking for her, Celeste doesn’t like this feeling, and she feels more resistant towards the old man.

At this moment, a strong yet aged voice sounded, "Danielle, great-grandpa didn’t lie to you, your mommy is here."

Old Mr. Barnes appeared, leaning on a cane.

Celeste softly said to Danielle, "Danielle, go play now, mommy has something to discuss with your great-grandpa."

"Okay, then I’ll go find daddy~" Little Danielle ran off.

Celeste looked at Old Mr. Barnes, "Old sir, you took my Danielle away privately and want to keep her for yourself, don’t you need to explain this to me?"

The old man smiled, "Miss Linden, Danielle is the Barnes family’s blood. Even if you came today, I still wouldn’t let you take Danielle away."

Celeste wanted to speak, but the old man smiled and waved his hand, "I know President Shangguan is your brother. If I were to fight you head-on, I certainly wouldn’t escape unscathed, but your brother and the Barnes family would both be hurt too. You wouldn’t want to see us both get hurt, right? After all, Danielle is stuck in the middle, and it’s inevitable she might get hurt."

This old man has firmly grasped her personality, Celeste is gentle and mindful of the big picture, and she fears hurting others because of her own affairs. The old man is also exploiting this point.

Celeste frowned and said flatly, "Old sir, if you insist on fighting me for Danielle, then we’ll have to go through the legal route. I will sue you."

"Danielle was born to me and raised by me. During this time, Ethan and the Barnes family haven’t contributed anything to Danielle. I believe in the fairness of the law, which will certainly award custody of Danielle to me."

The old man’s expression did not change as he took two steps forward and smiled, "Sure, we can fight for custody, but I believe Danielle will be awarded to the Barnes family."

Celeste was suspicious, "Do you intend to use some despicable means?"

Old Mr. Barnes shook his head, "No, the reason I’m sure the court will award Danielle to us is because... Ethan’s health..."

"What’s wrong with him?" Ethan was taken away along with Danielle, so Celeste didn’t know his situation.

"Ethan has amnesia."

What?

Amnesia?

Could it be true?

Celeste’s first reaction was disbelief. Could Ethan be faking amnesia to deceive her?

"It’s true, Ethan really has amnesia, and the most important thing is," the old man paused and then slowly said in a low voice, "Carlotta’s stab injured Ethan significantly, and in the future, Ethan will never have his own children. Danielle will be his only child."
