Substitute Bride: Utterly Pampered by Her Billionaire Husband Chapter 1785: Sleep Outside

Celeste Linden was doing it on purpose, deliberately putting on a show for Crystal White.

She could clearly see Crystal White’s feelings for Ethan Barnes, and since she, the legitimate wife, was here, she definitely had to give Crystal White a strong warning.

Sure enough, Crystal White couldn’t keep calm when she saw Celeste daring to tweak Ethan’s ear. To know Ethan was like a god to them, someone everyone admired, no one had ever dared to tweak his ear.

Crystal was about to speak, but the moment she saw Ethan embrace Celeste, her expression changed completely.

He was indulging Celeste!

Now pulled into Ethan’s arms, the crisp scent of his body, reminiscent of fir trees, enveloped her. Celeste softened her body, coquettishly giving him a look, "What are you doing, there are people here."

Crystal White, "..." You don’t even acknowledge my existence.

Ethan adored how she looked at that moment. He placed a kiss on Celeste’s fair little earlobe, whispering, "You’ll know whether there are people here when you test it tonight."

His voice low, ambiguity filled his breath as Celeste shivered, forgetting to act, and was about to push him away.

Because she remembered the dream she had last night; it was so vivid that it made her feel slightly unwell physically.

Crystal White’s face had turned ghostly pale. Although she couldn’t hear what they were saying, it was definitely flirty banter.

No matter how she tried to get close to Ethan lately, he was always cold and aloof. She had thought he was naturally averse to women, but this scene opened her eyes.

It turns out he was just averse to her.

He seemed like a different person in front of Celeste.

At this point, Celeste sat up straight, as if just remembering Crystal was there. She smiled, "Crystal, thank you for your hard work today. Why don’t you stay for dinner?"

"No need..."

"Alright then, I won’t keep you. You can leave first."

"..."

Crystal had no reason to stay. Her eyes, full of longing, glanced over at Ethan, but his gaze was wholly on Celeste, not even sparing her a glance.

"Boss, sister-in-law, I’ll be going then." Crystal left with a feeling of grievance.

Now it was just the three of them at home. Ethan reached out again to hug Celeste, "We..."

Slap.

Before he got close, Celeste looked up and slapped his hand away.

She switched from her earlier charming demeanor to glaring at him fiercely, "Talk if you want, but why are your hands so unruly? Behave yourself!"

Ethan, "..."

Why did she change her face so suddenly, faster than flipping a book?

"I..."

"Don’t talk, hurry up and eat!"

"..." Ethan could only obediently shut his mouth.

Celeste tried a bite of the meal Crystal made. Hmm, it was indeed delicious, indicating Crystal had put a lot of effort into getting close to him.

The more Celeste looked at the man beside her, the more displeased she became, feeling even his breathing was wrong. She glared at him again and muttered, "Bloody man!"

Bloody man Ethan, "..."

Oh dear, what did he do wrong?

...

After dinner, Celeste took Danielle to the room, with Ethan tagging along eagerly.

Finally having coaxed his wife over, he could enjoy the warmth of his wife and child. Ethan couldn’t help but curl his lips into a smile.

But in the next second, Celeste directly blocked him at the door, "You’re punished tonight; you’re not allowed to enter the room. Sleep outside."
