Substitute Bride: Utterly Pampered by Her Billionaire Husband Chapter 1758: Good News
Previously on Substitute Bride: Utterly Pampered by Her Billionaire Husband...
"Morning, Danielle!" Celeste Linden lovingly kissed her daughter’s little cheek.
"Mommy, Daddy and I woke up early today. Daddy said to let you sleep more, so we didn’t disturb you," Danielle said sweetly.
Is this what he said?
Why is he being so considerate?
Just then, Ethan Barnes came over. "Let’s go, let’s have breakfast."
Celeste Linden couldn’t help but feel like his mood today was unusually good, like he had finally tasted a long-coveted delicacy.
Maybe she’s just imagining things.
The family of three arrived at the dining room, and at that moment, a maid hurried over. "Young master, the old master called and wants you to take the call."
Ethan showed no expression and flatly refused, "Not taking it."
"But... I heard the second madam is saying she’s in pain and has been hospitalized. The old master’s intention is for the young master and young madam to go back together," the maid said nervously.
"Then tell the old master, no time."
"No time," these words were thrown out, indeed showing Ethan’s arrogant and flamboyant nature.
He sat down, noticing Celeste Linden still stunned. He gave a look over, "Lost your mind? Not going to eat breakfast?"
Celeste Linden took a seat with Danielle, hesitated, "The old master values the little grandson in the second madam’s belly. Last time she suffered under our hands, she must have filed a serious complaint to the old master. Can we really not go back?"
Ethan placed a cup of hot milk by her hand, "Don’t you dislike them?"
"But..."
"Your job is to take care of Danielle, paint sometimes, there’s a maid at home, don’t get involved in any other matters."
Celeste Linden looked at him.
"By the way," Ethan suddenly added, "your most important task is... to take care of me well."
"..."
Celeste Linden originally felt a bit touched, but his words instantly ruined all the good feelings.
"Young master, eat up!"
...
The family of three had breakfast, planning to send Danielle to kindergarten. This time, Ethan and Celeste were both going to escort her.
But suddenly, the old master came barging in; indeed, what was meant to come has come.
"Danielle, go upstairs first. Daddy and Mommy need to talk to great-grandfather."
"Alright!" Danielle jumped and skipped upstairs.
The old master rushed to Ethan, berating him harshly, "Ethan, I heard you hit your sister-in-law and even threatened to abort the child in her belly. You’re lawless! That’s our Barnes family’s grandson and your nephew!"
Ethan stood tall and indifferent, showing little reaction. "Then pass the message along to her: don’t loiter aimlessly around me; otherwise, I’ll hit her every time I see her."
What?
The old master was nearly livid. He shouted angrily, "You’re so cocky, then be cocky enough to give the Barnes family a grandson! I’m eager to hold your son."
As he said that, the old master’s gaze fell onto Celeste Linden’s flat belly with a look of dissatisfaction.
Celeste Linden felt like she was getting unjustly attacked; why suddenly bring this onto her?
"You know I want to hold a grandson. If you manage to conceive, I’ll treat you like ancestors. It’s really your own uselessness, your belly not cooperating!"
Celeste Linden, "..."
Ethan’s expression remained unchanged. He reached out, wrapped Celeste tightly in his arms, then smirked, "Alright, old man. You head back first and wait for the good news from us."
