Substitute Bride: Utterly Pampered by Her Billionaire Husband Chapter 1778: Affection

Ethan Barnes chased forward, but the figure he wanted to search for wasn’t there.

Could it be that he was seeing things?

But he clearly saw her just now.

"Boss, what’s wrong, who did you see?" At this time, everyone came over concerned.

Ethan Barnes shook his head, "It’s nothing."

Crystal White looked in the direction Ethan Barnes was looking, but didn’t see anyone there either, "Boss, let me help you bandage it up."

Crystal White went to hold Ethan Barnes’ hand.

But Ethan Barnes raised his hand, not letting her touch it, "No need, let the military doctor bandage me up. You’re injured too. Everyone, rest here."

"Yes."

Ethan Barnes walked to one side.

Crystal White’s gaze kept following Ethan Barnes. At this moment, someone said, "Crystal, why are you staring at the boss like that? Are you falling for him?"

Crystal White’s pretty face immediately turned red, "Who doesn’t like someone like the boss? Don’t you all like him too?"

"We like him, but it’s more like admiration. Crystal, don’t get confused. Our boss is married, and his wife is beautiful, a well-educated and reasonable lady. The way the boss looks at his wife, he really likes her a lot."

Crystal White didn’t think much of it, but she didn’t say it out loud either, "I understand."

...

Ethan Barnes took out his phone and fiddled with it for a while, finally finding a place with a signal. He opened WeChat.

Ding ding, Celeste Linden sent him a WeChat message.

She actually took the initiative to message him.

Ethan Barnes quickly opened it. The two messages Celeste Linden sent were quietly lying there. One was asking where he was now, and to reply immediately upon receipt.

The other asked why he hadn’t responded to her.

Ethan Barnes licked his dry thin lips with the tip of his tongue, smiling, did she... miss him?

Ethan Barnes immediately dialed a video chat.

But it didn’t go through because Celeste Linden’s phone was off.

Why was her phone off?

Did she go to bed so early?

Ethan Barnes sent a WeChat message, saying that his phone had just gotten a signal.

At this time, Celeste Linden was already on her way back. She turned off her phone and slept for a while, this sleep lasted a few hours.

These days, she’d been with the rescue team non-stop, worrying about Ethan Barnes, not closing her eyes at all. Now she just felt very tired.

When she opened her eyes again, she was home, and Danielle ran towards her, "Mommy~"

Celeste Linden reached out and hugged her daughter, her heart instantly filled up.

Willow Crawford arrived, she was already eight months pregnant, now supporting her big belly, her face full of sweetness and the rosy glow of a happy woman, "Sister, you’re back."

"Yes, Willow, you have two months left until you give birth, right?" Celeste Linden touched Willow Crawford’s round belly, this child seemed to be a girl, completing the desired family.

"Yes, sister, two months until the due date. Sister, did you go out this time to find Danielle’s dad? I saw it on the news." Willow Crawford blinked, indicating she had guessed it all.

Celeste Linden didn’t speak, unwilling to discuss this topic. At this moment, a string of vibrations sounded, she had just turned on her phone, and Ethan Barnes’ video chat came through again.

Celeste Linden didn’t answer, Ethan Barnes hung up the video chat and directly called her.

"Mommy, Daddy is calling, why don’t you pick up?" Danielle curiously asked her mommy.

Celeste Linden trembled slightly, then pressed the button to answer.
