Substitute Bride: Utterly Pampered by Her Billionaire Husband Chapter 1774: No Peeking

"That kid has grown so tall!" Vivi’s mom gestured with her hand.

Celeste Linden’s mind immediately conjured the image of a little boy, the illegitimate son of Ethan Barnes and that pretty lady.

Oh my, what was she thinking?

Celeste quickly shook her head to dismiss the image of the little boy. Whether Ethan had an illegitimate child was none of her business; besides, Ethan’s health wasn’t good enough to father a child, let alone care for one.

Just then, Danielle and Vivi ran over, interrupting the conversation between the two, and Celeste sighed in relief.

That night, back home, Danielle showered first. After Celeste took her shower and came out in her nightgown, Danielle hurried over and handed her the phone, "Mommy, for you."

What?

Celeste picked up the phone and saw that the video chat was already on, and Ethan’s handsome face appeared on the screen.

It turned out Danielle was video chatting with Daddy. Danielle covered her mouth and giggled, "Mommy, Daddy said he wants to see you; Daddy misses you."

After saying that, Danielle ran off.

Celeste, caught off guard, picked up the phone and heard laughter coming from Ethan’s side, "Boss, you’re chatting with your wife again, huh."

"Boss, you’re turning into a wistful rock waiting for your wife; it’s only been a few days apart."

"Sis-in-law, why don’t you just come over? Boss misses you like crazy."

Everyone was teasing him, and someone even tried to peer into the video to see Celeste.

But Ethan kicked them out, cursing, "Get out! Keep babbling and you’ll be off for a weighted cross-country run."

Everyone hurriedly scattered in fear.

Ethan looked at Celeste, who had just showered, with her face flushed red, and her wet, black hair cascading down her glowing shoulders. She was wearing a strap nightgown, looking absolutely fragrant and lush, and he begrudged letting others see her like that.

"Celeste Linden, why are you wearing straps?"

Celeste glanced down and didn’t find anything inappropriate, "What’s wrong with wearing straps? It’s not revealing. Is there a problem?"

Ethan raised an eyebrow, "When I’m home, you always wear long sleeves and pants, covering up tightly. Now that I’m not home, you wear straps. What do you mean by that?"

He was quite displeased.

Celeste Linden, "..." Alright, she was just guarding against him.

Celeste lay on the bed, "Aren’t you busy today?"

"Busy, but no matter how busy I am, I want to see you. Unlike you, who neither video chats nor voices with me, Celeste Linden, are you secretly seeing someone else?"

Who’s really seeing someone else? Celeste snorted, "What delicious food are you eating tonight?"

Ethan didn’t get her meaning, "What delicious food?"

As he spoke, his gaze fell on her neckline.

Celeste looked down and saw she was wearing a strap nightgown, and leaning like this revealed some skin, while Ethan was staring straight at her.

"Ethan Barnes, what are you looking at? No peeking!" Celeste immediately covered her neckline with her hand.

Ethan looked at her flushed face and casually licked his dry lips, "Celeste Linden, aren’t you my wife? Why can’t I have a look?"

"I, I, I..." Celeste had never met anyone so shameless before; she was at a loss for words herself.

"In this place, I don’t see any women. With the vast sky and dry land, don’t make a fuss over me seeing just an eye. Move your hand away!"

He was so audacious and justified.

Celeste sat up, angrily scolding, "Ethan Barnes, you pervert!"
