Celeste attempts to get into bed with her daughter, but Ethan playfully trips her. He teases Celeste about her motives and figure, leading to a verbal spar between them before they settle down to sleep.

With these words, Ethan Barnes’ handsome face suddenly darkened, as he stared at her intently.

Celeste Linden felt a bit intimidated by his somber and terrifying demeanor, especially since his amnesia made him unrecognize even those close to him, turning him into somewhat of a madman.

"Woman, are you asking for trouble!"

He cursed lowly, then swung a fist towards her ferociously.

Ah!

Celeste Linden was so frightened that she covered her face with both hands.

At the same time, there was a thud, his fist narrowly missing her face and striking hard on the bed beside her.

Celeste Linden held her breath, she could even feel the bed next to her cave in a little.

Luckily, the punch didn’t land on her face, or else she would be disfigured. Celeste Linden opened her eyes through her fingers, looking at him fearfully.

Ethan Barnes had leaned in closer, glancing at her coolly, "Woman, be careful with your words from now on, or else my fists won’t have eyes!"

After issuing the warning, he lay back down and closed his eyes to sleep.

Celeste Linden took deep breaths, thinking what kind of skill it was for a man to suppress others with violence; she felt he was just angry out of shame.

She said no more, holding Danielle in her arms and closing her eyes.

...

Originally, having a great demon by her side, she thought she wouldn’t sleep well, but Celeste Linden was dreamless and slept until the next morning.

Danielle’s gentle voice woke her up, "Mommy, wake up, the sun is shining on your bottom."

Celeste Linden woke up and glanced beside her, Ethan Barnes had already gotten up.

"Good morning, Danielle." She kissed her daughter’s forehead.

"Good morning, Mommy~ Daddy got up early and is already running~"

Danielle opened the curtains, and Celeste Linden looked outside through the window, immediately seeing Ethan Barnes running outside around the lawn, wearing a sleeveless black vest and black shorts, a white hat on his head, looking youthful, casual, and handsome.

She wasn’t concerned with what he was doing, the peaceful night they had was a good start, "Danielle, let’s get up, Mommy will make you something delicious~"

"Yay yay, Mommy can you make bear cookies for me?"

"Of course!"

The mother and daughter brushed their teeth and went downstairs, the maid greeted respectfully, "Good morning, madam, young miss."

"Good morning."

Celeste Linden entered the kitchen to start preparing breakfast. Although there were maids to prepare breakfast, Celeste would personally manage Danielle’s meals, so she still cooked herself, the maid assisting.

She kneaded butter, flour, eggs, and milk into dough, then divided it into small portions, imprinting bear patterns, the maid opened the oven, and Celeste put the bear cookies inside to bake.

In ten minutes, it was ready, Celeste opened the oven, and the whole room was filled with the scent of butter cookies, a fragrance wafting through the house.

"Wow, wow, wow, so fragrant, Mommy, I’m almost drooling." Danielle happily danced around.

Just then, Ethan Barnes finished his run. Upon entering, he smelled the aroma in the room and heard Danielle’s innocent and joyful voice. Looking up, he saw Celeste standing in the dining area, wearing a floral dress with an apron over it, her long, pure black hair tied in a low ponytail, embodying an indescribable charm of graceful beauty.

She picked up a bear cookie and fed it to Danielle, "Danielle, is it tasty?"

"Yes, delicious, fragrant and sweet~"
