Substitute Bride: Utterly Pampered by Her Billionaire Husband Chapter 1801: I Love You

Impossible.

Celeste swiftly dismissed the thought, finding it utterly absurd that she would suspect herself of being pregnant.

After all, when she was pregnant with Danielle, she had no appetite and the smell of even slightly fishy broth made her nauseous. This situation felt eerily similar to her pregnancy back then.

But she quickly denied it—how could it be possible? She and Ethan Barnes haven’t had marital relations; Ethan hasn’t touched her since the wedding.

How could she be pregnant?

Several dreams flashed through Celeste’s mind, dreams in which he was quite harsh to her, but that was just a dream.

“Celeste, what are you doing here? Are you feeling unwell again?” At this moment, Ethan Barnes caught up to her.

Thinking about those dreams made Celeste’s demeanor a little unnatural, her cheeks flushed, and she shook her head, “I’m fine, probably just indigestion, I don’t have much appetite. You all go ahead and eat.”

Ethan Barnes, looking at her oblivious expression, felt guilty and raised his hand to pinch her cheek, “If you can’t eat, I’m not interested either.”

When did he become so clingy?

“Why can’t you eat?”

Ethan reached out, directly pulling her into his arms, “Because…I love you.”

He murmured softly in her ear, because I love you.

Celeste’s heart suddenly trembled, like the softest part was caught off guard and touched. She immediately pushed him away, “What are you doing, why so cheesy, let go of me, people will see.”

“Let them see, let those single folks envy us.”

The single folks wondered what they did wrong?

“Stop fooling around, I’m hungry, I’m going to eat.” Celeste quickly pushed him away and ran outside.

Ethan grinned, happily following after her.

…

Elsewhere, Crystal White started packing, preparing to leave.

Crystal’s parents were deeply perplexed, “Dianna, what’s wrong? Before, you were the one insistent on marrying Ethan Barnes, and now after all this, you don’t like him anymore?”

“Exactly, Dianna, I must criticize you. As a father, I’m very satisfied with Ethan; the boy has limitless potential, and there’s nothing wrong with sticking by him. We’ve put in this much effort, and now you say you don’t like him.”

Listening to her parents’ nagging, Crystal felt annoyed, “Mom, Dad, let me tell you the truth, Ethan…he has a health issue.”

“What? Ethan has a health problem?”

No one believed this because Ethan was a trained young man, exuding a sinewy physique wherever he went, bold and untamed. What issue could he possibly have?

“It’s…it’s the man side of things. He can’t do it, he’s not a man!”

Crystal’s parents gasped; they could never have imagined such a thing about Ethan…

“Dianna, are you sure you’re not mistaken, Ethan really can’t do it?”

“Who did you hear this from? I wouldn’t believe Ethan can’t do it. I think in this world, any man might be unable to, but not him.”

Crystal sighed, “I swear it’s true; Celeste Linden told me directly.”

Celeste Linden?

“Dianna, do you really believe that Celeste? Could she be deceiving you, intentionally saying such things for you to give up?”

Crystal shook her head, “How could that be, who would use such words to deceive someone?”

Crystal’s mom said, “Dianna, don’t be hasty; I want to verify this myself.”
