Substitute Bride: Utterly Pampered by Her Billionaire Husband Chapter 1750: Kick Her

What does he mean?

Celeste Linden was a little confused.

Ethan Barnes handed the mulberries to her, "Stunned?"

"Not stunned... Is this for me?"

"I saw them while on a mission in the mountains last night, picked them casually for Danielle."

I see.

The mulberries are indeed freshly picked by him, and to think of picking fruit for Danielle while on a mission, he really is a good father.

"Then I’ll take them to Danielle." Celeste Linden wanted to get up.

But Ethan Barnes reached out and pressed her shoulder, preventing her from getting up. He took a big, purple mulberry and brought it to her lips, "You eat first."

What?

"Testing for poison."

"..."

Celeste Linden knew he was up to no good and glared at him fiercely, then opened her mouth to eat the mulberry he fed her.

The woman’s soft, jelly-like red lips lightly brushed against his rough fingertip, fleetingly, as Ethan Barnes’ Adam’s apple rolled slowly.

Celeste Linden ate the mulberry, and the sweet and sour taste immediately filled her taste buds. It was delicious, making her want to eat another.

"No poison, right?"

Ethan Barnes looked at her, then suddenly reached out and touched her red lips.

Celeste Linden froze, feeling his fingertip on her red lips, pressing lightly or heavily, as if tormenting her lips.

This sudden ambiguity made Celeste Linden’s face flush; her lips felt tingling and slightly numb from where he touched.

"What are you doing?"

Ethan Barnes looked at her, his gaze dark and bright, "So dirty, eating a mulberry can even dirty your lip corners."

After speaking, he casually withdrew his hand, "I’m going inside for a shower."

He went into the bathroom.

Celeste Linden was a bit disoriented, so was he wiping her lip corners? But the lip corners aren’t here; he clearly touched her mouth.

Celeste Linden raised her hand to cover her face, wincing, her face felt so hot.

She realized recently she was acting out of character, with her emotions often manipulated by him, which was not a good sign!

...

Celeste Linden was busy until the afternoon, finally completing her design draft. She checked the time; it was just right to pick up Danielle from school.

She opened the room door and went downstairs, coincidentally bumping into Ethan Barnes, who asked, "Where are you going?"

"I’m going to pick up Danielle."

"Then let’s go together."

Together?

Ethan Barnes was holding car keys, opened the jeep’s passenger door, and glanced back at her, "What are you standing there for? Want me to carry you or hold you?"

Celeste Linden quickly walked over, he opened the passenger door, she whispered, "Young master, I’ll sit in the back, okay?"

"I’m not your driver."

"..." Celeste Linden could only get in the passenger seat.

But this jeep was high and cool, Celeste Linden was sitting for the first time, her actions climbing in were somewhat difficult.

Ethan Barnes watched her from behind, she wore a knee-length dress today, and climbing into the car, she looked like a little turtle. He smirked slightly, then lifted his long leg and kicked her butt.

Ah!

Celeste Linden exclaimed and was kicked up into the seat, she sat upright and angrily glared at him, "Young master, why are you kicking me? You are so uncivilized!"

She was wearing a new dress today, now with a shoe print on it. Sure, he lacks gentlemanly manners, but kicking a woman’s butt was unnecessary!

Ethan Barnes raised his eyebrow slightly, "Celeste Linden, who made you flirt with me?"
