Crystal White attempts to interfere, but Ethan Barnes dismisses her and agrees to Celeste Linden's request to wash his clothes. He even offers to wash hers, much to Crystal White's shock. Celeste then tells Crystal White to stop visiting so freely. Ethan proves to be an inexperienced washer, and Celeste, embarrassed when he picks up her underwear, takes over the laundry. Ethan then teases Celeste about her shyness and asks her to wash his.

This sullen man.

When she’s not here, he still wears briefs.

Celeste Linden didn’t want to wash them, but if she didn’t, Crystal White would come over and do it. Now she’s stuck, so she had no choice but to wash Ethan Barnes’s underwear.

Ethan Barnes stood by, watching with satisfaction, that’s more like it.

...

After washing clothes, Celeste Linden handed the task of hanging the clothes to Ethan Barnes, and she went into the kitchen to prepare breakfast.

By the time Ethan Barnes came over, the fragrant millet porridge was ready, and Celeste Linden had also made a snack and fried two refreshing side dishes.

Ethan Barnes tasted it and nodded repeatedly; he knew her cooking was always excellent.

"Is it delicious?" Celeste Linden asked.

"Delicious."

"Then whose cooking is better, mine or Crystal White’s?"

Ethan Barnes spoke truthfully, "Of course, yours is better."

Celeste Linden snorted, glad he knows his place.

Just then, a few of Ethan’s subordinates walked in, "Boss’s wife, you’re having breakfast, aren’t you? What are you eating, it smells great."

Celeste Linden said, "Have you eaten? I’ll serve you some porridge, you can eat here with us."

"Okay, thanks, ma’am, we were just hungry."

Ethan Barnes gave them a displeased look, "I bet you came over here just to mooch the food because of the smell, didn’t you?"

"Boss, don’t be so stingy. The boss’s wife invited us for breakfast; we also want to taste her cooking."

The room was filled with laughter and chatter. Everyone liked Celeste Linden, and with Ethan Barnes’s liking and attention towards her, everyone both liked and respected her.

Crystal White stood outside feeling awful, biting her lower lip until it nearly bled. She used to have a chance to care for Ethan Barnes, but with Celeste Linden here, she was completely shut out with no opportunity at all.

No, she couldn’t just do nothing.

She truly liked Ethan Barnes too much, and missing the chance with him would be a lifelong regret. She had to take the initiative.

Crystal White took out her phone, found a photo, and sent it out.

...

Ethan Barnes went out with a mission, and didn’t return all day. Celeste Linden spent some time designing and suddenly remembered she was here to take Danielle away.

But now, she had no desire to leave. She didn’t know what had come over her.

That evening Ethan Barnes didn’t return, and Celeste Linden slept with Danielle.

The next morning, when Celeste Linden went out, she noticed everyone looking at her strangely, as if something had happened.

She wanted to take a walk, but someone quickly ran up to block her, "Ma’am, boss went out, and he won’t be back until tomorrow. He instructed us not to let you wander when he’s not here, so maybe you should head back."

Celeste Linden noticed everyone was withholding something, it was clear they were hiding something from her. She furrowed her brows but said nothing, "Alright, then I’ll head back."

"Ma’am, I’ll escort you back."

Celeste Linden was walked all the way to the door, and as soon as the person left, she quickly and quietly followed them out.

Two people were talking ahead, "Did you call him to hurry? When is boss coming back? Ma’am was just out; I’m really afraid she’ll see those photos!"

"I did, I did. We’re keeping it from her for now; boss is on his way back."

What photos couldn’t she see?

Celeste Linden thoughtfully took a different path, and that’s when she saw the window display where someone had posted a photo, a picture of Ethan Barnes and Crystal White.
