Substitute Bride: Utterly Pampered by Her Billionaire Husband Chapter 1783: Bastard

Everything afterwards was a blur; her soft little hand gripped the man’s strong arm, leaving a few red marks.

When she opened her eyes again, it was already the next morning. Celeste Linden looked at her clothes; there were no signs of them being tampered with. She was still sleeping inside.

Was last night another dream of hers?

She actually had that kind of dream again.

Lately, it seems every time he goes to bed, she starts having these strange dreams.

Celeste Linden couldn’t even face herself.

Ethan Barnes and Danielle were already up. Celeste Linden got up to wash up, then went out to find the father and daughter.

But she looked around and couldn’t find them.

Where did they go?

Celeste Linden asked the maid, "Where are the young master and little lady? Did they go out?"

"Madam, the young master took the little lady and left."

"Left?" Celeste Linden was shocked; she didn’t know where Ethan Barnes had taken their daughter. He hadn’t told her beforehand.

"Madam, the young master took the little lady back to his base. Young master said before leaving you have two choices: either pack up and go find them, or stay at home alone, it’s up to you."

Celeste Linden gasped, completely frozen in place. Ethan Barnes actually took Danielle with him!

Previously, he had suggested that she take Danielle to him, but she refused. This time he returned hastily to celebrate Danielle’s birthday, and in the morning secretly took her away.

Let her choose?

How can she choose?

He knows full well she can’t leave her daughter.

This bastard, he’s using their daughter to blackmail her!

Celeste Linden trembled with anger, quickly took out her phone and dialed Ethan Barnes’ number.

The melodious ringtone rang once, and he picked up, "Hello."

"Ethan Barnes, who allowed you to take Danielle, what right do you have, Danielle is my life. This time you’ve gone too far!"

Ethan Barnes let her curse, and when she finished, he chuckled leisurely, "Celeste Linden, if I hadn’t taken Danielle away, you probably wouldn’t even bother to call me."

"..."

"Celeste Linden, nothing else matters now. You need to get here and find us. It’s up to you how you handle it."

"Mommy~" At this moment, Danielle’s sweet voice sounded, "Mommy, please come here, Daddy and I miss you so much~ Yesterday, I made a birthday wish hoping that Daddy and Mommy would always be by my side~ Then I’d be the happiest child in the world~"

No matter how much resentment and hatred Celeste Linden had in her heart, in this moment, hearing Danielle’s heartfelt words softened her defenses. A father’s love is always what Danielle longs for the most, no matter how hard she tries, she can’t replace it.

This wretched Ethan Barnes is exploiting her soft spot.

"Celeste Linden, do you know what you’re like? A turtle, crawling very slowly, sometimes wanting to retreat. I don’t want to live each day hoping for you to send me a message anymore, I don’t want to wait in place, that’s why I have to push you."

"The car outside is waiting for you. Whether you want to come find us is your choice. When you come, feel free to hit or curse me."

With that, he hung up the phone.

Celeste Linden bit her red lips, returned to her room and stayed there for a while. Then she got up and started packing her things; she must go find Danielle.

He had anticipated that she would go.

This bastard, when she gets there, she’ll take Danielle and leave. Let’s see what he does then!
