Substitute Bride: Utterly Pampered by Her Billionaire Husband Chapter 1781: I Like You

Danielle’s little mouth is so sweet, making Ethan Barnes overjoyed.

Ethan’s gaze fell on Celeste Linden again, "Is there anything to eat at home? I’m hungry and haven’t had dinner yet."

"What do you want to eat? I’ll have the maid in the house make it for you," Celeste Linden said.

"I want you to cook some noodles by hand."

He wanted her to cook herself.

Celeste Linden didn’t say anything.

"I rushed back as soon as my task ended this afternoon, didn’t even catch my breath on the road, just to see Danielle and you. Now I’m really hungry. You wouldn’t be so heartless as to let me starve to death, would you?"

Celeste Linden couldn’t help but soften a bit. Although he was exaggerating, he indeed came back in great haste.

Celeste Linden lifted the quilt and got out of bed, "Then I’ll go make it for you now."

...

Celeste Linden went into the kitchen and began to boil noodles. At this moment, a steady sound of footsteps came from behind. Ethan Barnes came, and he approached from behind, his low and magnetic voice covering her ear, "If I didn’t come back, did you plan to ignore me for the rest of your life?"

Celeste Linden shuddered slightly. He was too close, his strong broad chest pressing against her slender back, she felt a bit uncomfortable, "No."

She wanted to move away.

At this moment, Ethan Barnes slipped something onto her slender white wrist. Celeste Linden looked down, and it was a green jade bracelet.

Celeste Linden was talented, her fingers like jade, and now the green jade bracelet enhanced her overall temperament and made her hand even more beautiful. This jade bracelet suited her perfectly.

"What is this?"

"A jade bracelet, a gift for you. If our daughter got a gift, you should have one too." When he bought the gift, he thought of her too; both mother and daughter should have something.

"I don’t want it." Celeste Linden wanted to take it off and give it back to him.

But Ethan Barnes grabbed her small hand, "Celeste Linden, try taking it off, are you trying to make me angry?"

Celeste Linden, "..."

Ethan Barnes looked at her delicate and gentle figure, the floral apron she wore, and the sense of domesticity around her, as if she could shield him from all the outside cold winds.

He slowly reached out, his large hand gently resting on her slender waist.

Celeste Linden quickly struggled, "What are you doing?"

He was really still the same, touching her just after a few words.

"Don’t move, Danielle is watching."

Celeste turned her head, and sure enough, saw Danielle standing by the door, covering her mouth and giggling, in a childish voice saying, "Daddy and mommy are so loving. Joy already has a little sister, so it seems I’ll soon have a little brother too."

Seeing her daughter’s happy expression, Celeste Linden, "..."

She could only stiffly stay still, performing as a loving couple in front of her daughter. At this moment, Ethan Barnes slowly hugged her, resting his head on her fragrant shoulder, "Why haven’t you been talking to me recently? Your silence distracts me, I can’t eat or sleep well."

Celeste Linden’s voice turned a bit cold, "I think you must be living well and excitingly over there, with plenty of people to please you."

As soon as she said this, Ethan fiercely wrapped his arms around her soft waist, his tall and handsome body pressing tightly against her, exasperated, "Celeste Linden, why do you always speak to me so sarcastically? What do you want to say, can you tell me directly?"

"I don’t want to say anything!"

Ethan looked at her cool visage, also furious, no matter how he tried, he couldn’t warm her heart.

"Celeste Linden, you just rely on the fact that I like you!"
