Celeste and Ethan reluctantly get their marriage certificates, facing questions about their willingness to marry. Ethan expresses his disdain for the marriage, but Celeste manages to sign them both, convincing Ethan to sign as well. After the civil affairs bureau, Ethan takes the certificates, stating he needs them as proof for his grandfather. Back home, Ethan's grandfather is pleased and announces plans for a grand Chinese-style wedding, overriding Celeste's preference for a quiet ceremony. Invitations are sent out, and both Celeste and Ethan prepare for the upcoming festivities.

The designer soon came over to measure Celeste Linden’s size. Celeste declined, saying, "No need, no need, I’ll just wear something casual."

A few designers lifted Celeste up, "Bride, on your wedding day, you’re supposed to wear the traditional attire, you can’t just wear something casual."

Without further ado, they brought out the measuring tape.

Celeste herself was the chief designer, she had always designed clothes for others, but now it was her turn to have clothes designed for her.

The happiest person was Danielle, who clapped her hands excitedly, "That’s great, Mommy, you have to wear the new clothes Daddy gave you on your wedding day."

Seeing Danielle’s happy smiling face, Celeste, "..."

Celeste walked outside and found that the entire Barnes family was decorated with lanterns and streamers, and everyone had started preparing the bridal chamber; inside, everything was a festive bright red.

Celeste found a quiet place to sit on the steps, resting her chin as she spaced out. At the time, she agreed to marry Ethan Barnes for Danielle’s sake. After marriage, they just had a nominal relationship, minding their own business; but now it seemed everything was spiraling out of control, beyond her grasp.

Celeste felt strange inside, as if a giant hand was pushing her forward.

"Mommy~"

At this moment, a tender voice came from behind.

Celeste turned around to see Danielle coming, and beside her stood a tall and handsome figure. Ethan Barnes had one hand in his pocket and another holding his daughter’s little hand, standing on the stairs on the second floor, watching her from above.

"Mommy, what are you thinking about~" Danielle let go of her daddy’s hand and ran over to hug her.

Celeste reached out to hold her daughter’s soft little body; holding her daughter now made her feel safe, "Danielle, Mommy is thinking about you~"

While Celeste spoke, she looked up at Ethan on the stairs. The man wore a simple white T-shirt, with soft bangs covering his handsome eyes. The rebellious but steady man was full of tension and as handsome as a deity. Looking at her like this made her feel at ease.

Celeste thought she must have been delusional because his gaze was so gentle now.

Celeste opened her mouth to speak but Ethan spoke first, furrowing his brows with discontent, "Woman, what are you doing sitting here, you didn’t even bring your daughter. Have you really started seeing yourself as the lady of this house?"

"..."

Celeste felt she must have seen wrong. How could he be looking at her with such gentle eyes? That annoying jerk!

Celeste stood up holding her daughter, "I certainly don’t see myself as the lady of this house. Don’t worry, Young Master!"

She emphasized the "Young Master."

Ethan snorted coldly, "That’s for the best. I hope you don’t get carried away. Don’t forget you used tricks to make me marry you!"

After speaking, Ethan turned around and left.

"..."

Celeste nearly went crazy; she really didn’t want to communicate with this man. They had communication barriers!

...

Very soon, the wedding day arrived. Celeste was woken up early, surrounded by a crowd, who started to dress her up.

Willow Crawford brought little Joy along; Joy was very happy, and dashed right into Celeste’s arms, "Auntie, congratulations on your wedding, wishing you happiness and a baby soon."

Everyone quickly covered their mouths to stifle laughter, "Bride, having a boy bump into your arms on your wedding day means you’ll soon have a second child, and it’ll be a boy!"
