Substitute Bride: Utterly Pampered by Her Billionaire Husband Chapter 1746: Gone Mute?

"Daddy~" Danielle called sweetly and softly.

"Danielle, I heard you started kindergarten, are you happy there?" Ethan Barnes’s deep, magnetic voice came through.

"I’m happy, all the kids at kindergarten are really friendly, I’ve made lots of good friends."

"Alright, I’ll come and pick you up from school when I’m back."

"Really? I’m so happy, the kids all say my mommy is beautiful, and I tell them my daddy is handsome, they’re all looking forward to seeing you~"

The other end paused for a moment, then said, "Where’s your mommy?"

"My mommy is mopping the floor~"

"Mopping the floor?" Ethan’s tone lowered slightly, revealing some displeasure, "There’s no servant at home, why is your mommy mopping the floor?"

"Daddy, you don’t know, it’s Grandpa’s punishment for mom and me~"

Ethan hung up the phone on that end and quickly arranged a video call, they had added each other on WeChat when they got married.

Danielle pressed the button to connect, and when she saw her daddy, she smiled brightly, "Daddy~"

"Danielle, where’s your mommy?"

"Mommy’s outside, daddy, do you miss mommy? I’ll go out and let you see mommy now~" Little Danielle ran outside with the phone, "Mommy mommy~"

Celeste Linden was kneeling on the floor, mopping with a cloth, and upon hearing the call, she turned her head, "Danielle, what is it?"

"Mommy, it’s daddy~"

Celeste quickly saw Ethan on the phone screen, wearing a black T-shirt, camouflage pants, and black boots, clearly at the camp, still looking handsome, cool, arrogant, and untouchable.

Ethan looked at her, frowning with displeasure, "Celeste Linden, you’ve caused trouble the moment I’m not home, haven’t you? Tell me, why is the old man punishing you?"

His questioning tone indicated he thought she had done something wrong.

Celeste didn’t expect him to video call, and she was unwilling to tell him what happened today. Telling him would only lead to ridicule; why bring humiliation upon herself?

"Young Master, you’re quite idle now, why care about these domestic matters? Anyway, your grandfather punished me, so I just comply, I didn’t cause trouble for you!"

Ethan narrowed his long eyes, "Celeste Linden, what kind of tone is that?"

Celeste thought for a moment, then said, "Young Master, can Danielle and I move out?"

She didn’t like living here.

Ethan immediately responded without thinking, "No!"

Celeste opened her mouth to speak, but Ethan directly interrupted her, "What are you thinking? We just got married and you want to move out, do you want the whole world to know we’re just in name only?"

"..." Celeste lowered her head, silent.

Ethan looked at her, "Cat got your tongue, why aren’t you speaking?"

"I have nothing more to say, Young Master!"

He had said everything; what more could she say?

"Celeste Linden!"

This time Celeste didn’t respond to him, she handed the phone to Danielle, "Danielle, you chat with your daddy."

After saying that, she turned and left.

...

Celeste didn’t eat dinner and went to bed, because she had to submit a design project and got up early to work on it. She was sitting in the room doing her design.

But halfway through, Adela’s proud voice came from outside, "Where’s your young mistress? Hurry up and get her out here, my tummy is so big, waiting is really tiring!"
