Substitute Bride: Utterly Pampered by Her Billionaire Husband Chapter 1751: Stolen Kiss

"Seducing? How did I seduce you?" Celeste Linden looked at him in shock and confusion at being slapped with such a label.

She really looked so innocent, Ethan Barnes said nothing, turned around, and got into the driver’s seat, "Buckle up."

"Okay."

Celeste Linden moved to pull the seatbelt, but it wouldn’t budge. She tugged hard twice, but it still wouldn’t move. She suspected this car had something against her.

The owner of the car bullied her enough, and now even the car was against her.

"Are you stupid?" At this moment, Ethan Barnes leaned his tall, handsome body over, reached out a big hand, and pulled down her seatbelt.

"I’m not stupid," Celeste Linden retorted, turning her head to look at him.

The next second, something soft and slightly cool brushed against her red lips. Celeste Linden’s clear eyes suddenly contracted, seeing Ethan Barnes’s irritatingly handsome face magnifying in her view.

Their lips accidentally brushed together. She hadn’t expected him to get so close; when she turned her head, their lips accidentally met.

Celeste Linden froze.

At this moment, Ethan Barnes stepped back, glanced at her, then at her lips, furrowing his brows and shouting, "Celeste Linden, are you looking for trouble? Who told you to kiss me?"

Celeste Linden’s cheeks turned crimson. She attempted to explain, "I... I didn’t kiss you; it was just a coincidence..."

"Ha, coincidence. Celeste Linden, do you think I’ll believe that lousy excuse?"

"...If you don’t believe me, fine. Anyway, it wasn’t intentional, and the kiss happened. What do you want to do about it?" Celeste Linden retorted.

In fact, she was also angry. This kiss had thrown her mind into chaos. She hadn’t had time to think before he grabbed her, as if she had taken advantage of him.

Come on, isn’t this kind of thing usually a disadvantage for the woman?

Seeing her talk back, Ethan Barnes narrowed his eyes and then mischievously curled his thin lips, "Celeste Linden, you kissed me, so I’ll..."

"So what?"

"So kiss you back!"

After speaking, he grabbed the back of her head and kissed her red lips.

Celeste Linden forgot to breathe. When she realized what was happening, she hastily raised her hand to push him away, ugh!

Ethan Barnes pressed her delicate body into the seat back. The force she used was only enough to tickle him. He kissed her forcefully.

"Ethan... ugh!"

She wanted to speak, but as soon as she opened her mouth, Ethan Barnes kissed her deeper, a siege of passion, tumultuous and overwhelming.

Celeste Linden kept pushing and hitting him. Her beautiful, gentle eyes were either discomforted by the kiss or something else, already misty with tears. Seeing his body as if cast in iron, she angrily bit his lip.

Hiss.

Ethan Barnes winced in pain, the coppery taste already spreading in his mouth, and he let her go.

He reached out to wipe the blood from the corner of his mouth, then smirked at her with darkened, mischievous eyes, "Celeste Linden, now we’re even, I won’t hold it against you for the kiss earlier."

"..."

At this moment, Ethan secured her seatbelt, hit the gas, and the jeep sped down the road.

Celeste Linden’s face felt ablaze. She belatedly realized he had forcibly kissed her just now; she should have slapped him.

But she did nothing, on the contrary, he had her completely under his control.

Celeste Linden angrily rubbed her swollen lips hard, trying to wipe away his lingering presence.

...

The jeep came to a stop, and it was just dismissal time for the kindergarten. Teacher Youyou led the children out in a line.
