Substitute Bride: Utterly Pampered by Her Billionaire Husband Chapter 1719: Wife

Celeste Linden froze, actually, she had already realized this point. When Carlotta stabbed him back then, she was present. Even if he survived, I’m afraid... his body would be left with a disability.

Now, the old man’s words had confirmed her speculation; he was indeed injured.

This, for a man, is a fatal blow.

At this time, the old man continued, "Actually, in these past few years, I know that Ethan Barnes and Carlotta haven’t gotten their marriage certificate, and he hasn’t touched Carlotta. Whatever he does outside, I can ignore, but I have one condition, which is that I hope he can produce more offspring for the Barnes family, have more children."

As he spoke, the old man’s gaze fell on Celeste Linden’s face, "Miss Linden, now you know how important Danielle is to me, to Ethan, to the entire Barnes family, don’t you? Even if we go to court, given Ethan’s situation of having no other offspring, the judge would rule Danielle in our favor."

Celeste Linden lowered her feathers, as the old man said, if they went to court, Danielle’s custody would definitely be awarded to Ethan Barnes.

She also didn’t want the Barnes family and her brother to go to war; she didn’t want to see anyone get hurt.

Celeste Linden was silent for a moment then looked up, "Where is Ethan Barnes?"

The old man looked at her.

Celeste Linden calmly looked back, "Where is Ethan Barnes? Ever since he woke up, I haven’t seen him. I want to talk to him."

Danielle is hers and Ethan Barnes’; she needs to talk to Ethan Barnes.

The old man said, "Alright, I’ll take you to see Ethan."

...

The old man brought Celeste Linden to a room. As they just reached the door, there was a crash inside as a bowl hit the floor, followed by Ethan Barnes’ furious voice, "Take all these away, I don’t want to eat. Can’t you cook right? The food you make tastes awful!"

The maid was trembling as she cleaned up the mess on the floor, "Yes, young master, we will immediately change to another cook."

The old man whispered to Celeste Linden, "Ever since Ethan lost his memory, he’s been unusually irritable. This is already the 17th cook we’ve changed. Be careful; don’t provoke him when you go in."

"What happens if I provoke him?"

The old man shrugged, "He’ll hit you."

"..."

Celeste Linden didn’t believe it; she walked in with firm steps.

Ethan Barnes half-lay on the rattan chair in the room, both hands behind his head, a pair of eyes staring at the ceiling in boredom and laziness. He wore a black T-shirt, with short, neat hair, looking handsome and arrogant, very hard to deal with.

Hearing footsteps, he didn’t look up, just said irately, "Didn’t understand what I said? Get out of my room immediately!"

Celeste Linden stood beside him and called his name, "Ethan Barnes."

Ethan Barnes looked up, his dark and narrow eyes drifting over to her, took a glance, then frowned, "Where did this maid come from? So unruly, you think you can call my name? Here, you must call me young master, got it?"

"..."

Has this young master really lost his memory?

Celeste Linden suspiciously observed him.

Ethan Barnes frowned even more, looking impatient, "What are you staring at me for? Look one more time, and believe it or not, I’ll gouge out your eyes!"

Celeste Linden shivered in fear, "Ethan Barnes, I’m not a maid here. I’m Danielle’s mommy; I came here to take Danielle away."

Upon hearing this, Ethan Barnes seriously looked at her, up and down, "Oh, so you’re my wife."
