Substitute Bride: Utterly Pampered by Her Billionaire Husband Chapter 1805: Sleeping Together

He never dared to imagine that Celeste Linden would be this proactive, clinging to him like a little pixie and kissing him.

Now she’s kissing him again, and Ethan Barnes grips her soft waist with his large hands, gasping as their lips and tongues entwine, then kisses along to her snow-white earlobe, “What’s up today?”

“What do you think?”

Celeste doesn’t answer directly. Her small hand slides down his chest, teasing, “Don’t you like it?”

Oh, he likes it.

Likes it a lot.

But when her small hand slides too low, Ethan regains his senses, grabbing her little hand to stop her from moving any further.

“What’s wrong?” Celeste looks at him with shimmering eyes.

Ethan has an unspeakable secret; he hasn’t forgotten that his current condition is not permissible. She’s pregnant, and he doesn’t dare to excite her.

“My body hasn’t recovered yet; give me some time.” He lies.

Celeste looks at his serious demeanor, lying without blushing or panting. If she didn’t already know the truth, she might have really believed him.

This big liar, deceiving her for so long.

She wonders how long he can keep up the act.

Celeste reaches out to hug his lean waist, “I understand, it’s okay. You’re injured, and there’s treatment afterward. Tonight, move back to the room and sleep with Danielle and me. I’ll be with you.”

Ethan really can’t figure her out. What’s going on with her? But he enjoys the current feeling of being hugged and kissed by her initiative, indulging in it and not wanting to overthink.

He kisses her little cheek, “So, are you going to treat me, Dr. Linden?”

He emphasizes “Dr. Linden” in a teasing manner.

Celeste’s cheeks redden, and she pushes him away, “Go out and play with Danielle for a while, I’ll cook.”

“No way, Danielle is already a big girl; she can play by herself. I’ll stay with you and help out. Actually, I think we could hire a nanny, so you won’t have to cook anymore.”

Celeste glances at him, stopping him, “I can cook. As the leader, you shouldn’t set a trend of luxury and indulgence, or else others will gossip.”

Nobody hires a nanny to cook here, and he’s not afraid of being laughed at.

Ethan sticks to her, holding her waist, “Then you can slowly teach me to cook. I can start learning, and in the future, I can cook for you both.”

As he says this, his large hand reaches around to rest on her flat belly, his wide palm covering her abdomen completely, rubbing it a few times, enjoying it immensely.

Celeste knows he’s been deceiving her; he knew she was pregnant all along and is very fond of the child in her belly.

…

The family of three had dinner, and Celeste bathed Danielle. By then, Ethan had already brought in his pillow and blanket.

Danielle is a little cheerleader, “Yay, Daddy can finally sleep with us, that’s great!”

Ethan kisses Danielle’s forehead and then says, “Danielle, be a good girl and sleep on the inside so Mommy can sleep in the middle.”

Danielle immediately covers her mouth and giggles, “Daddy, do you want to cuddle with Mommy at night?”

Ethan whispers, “Yeah, so I can give you a little brother.”

Both father and daughter laugh.

When Celeste finishes her bath and comes out, she sees Danielle sleeping obediently on the inside, already fast asleep, and Ethan putting away the storybook, patting the space in the middle, “Come here.”

Celeste crawls into the middle and lies down.

Ethan reaches out and cuddles her in his arms.
