Substitute Bride: Utterly Pampered by Her Billionaire Husband Chapter 1795: Taking Responsibility

Why does he always make fun of her?

Though Celeste Linden is inexperienced, she’s been mocked by him a few times now, and she doesn’t plan to endure it anymore. She raised her eyebrows and said, "You always just talk, if you really have the guts, prove it for real. You can’t do it!"

What?

No man can tolerate such provocation, especially from the woman he likes; it was practically an invitation. "Celeste Linden, you said it, don’t regret this!"

Ethan Barnes wrapped his strong arm around her slender waist, lifted her directly, and picked her up.

He took strong strides, carried her into the room, and tossed her onto the big bed.

Celeste Linden just wanted to get up, but his tall and imposing frame had already pressed down, his eyes blazing as he looked at her, "Where are you running to? Weren’t you acting all tough just now?"

"I... I was just giving you a way out of embarrassment, in any case, if things end badly, you have yourself to blame!" Celeste Linden retorted stubbornly.

Ethan Barnes said nothing; he leaned down and captured her red lips with his own.

Celeste Linden was dazed by the kiss and couldn’t break free. When she realized his fingers were already on the buttons of her clothes, she panicked, as things weren’t going according to her earlier expectations, and she got scared, wanting to retreat.

"Ethan Barnes, stop it, let me go!"

"Scared now, too late?"

Celeste Linden’s pupils shrank; just then, Danielle’s sweet voice rang out, "Daddy, Mommy, I’m back."

Danielle came back.

Her savior was here.

Celeste Linden immediately pushed Ethan Barnes away, "Our daughter is back!"

Celeste Linden quickly straightened her disheveled clothes and ran out, hugging Danielle’s soft little body tightly and giving her a kiss, "Danielle, you’re back, did you have fun today?"

"Fun, Mommy, I made several new friends today; the kids here are polite and nice, I really like it here." Danielle said with a smile.

Celeste Linden affectionately patted Danielle’s little head.

"Mommy, where’s Daddy? Hasn’t Daddy come back yet?" Danielle opened her big eyes and started searching for her daddy’s figure.

In the room, Ethan Barnes was still lying on the bed; he raised his hand to cover the redness in his eyes, they were so close just now, if Danielle hadn’t happened to return, he would have succeeded.

Ethan Barnes licked his dry lips with his tongue, damn, life is so frustrating now, having his wife next to him but unable to touch her.

But tonight...

Ethan Barnes didn’t know what mischievous plan he came up with, and smiled to himself.

He got up and went out, picked Danielle up, "Danielle, Daddy is right here, let Daddy give you a hug, have you missed Daddy?"

"Of course I did, I think about you every day."

The three of them had dinner together, and then Celeste Linden took Danielle to bed. Once Danielle fell asleep, Celeste also drifted off.

But she found herself dreaming again, having that familiar, heart-throbbing, irresistibly embarrassing yet exciting dream.

The dream was all about Ethan Barnes.

Celeste Linden desperately wanted to wake up; she opened her eyes forcefully, and it was already the next morning. She was lying in her own bed, Ethan Barnes wasn’t there.

What was wrong with her? Celeste Linden got out of bed, Ethan Barnes was already gone, likely dealing with matters involving Crystal White.

Soon someone came knocking on the door, "Sis, that family of Crystal White is so shameless, they want the boss to divorce you and marry Crystal White, saying he needs to take responsibility for her."
