Substitute Bride: Utterly Pampered by Her Billionaire Husband Chapter 1819: She Likes Him

Rescue?

Ethan Barnes frowned immediately. When did Celeste Linden ever participate in a rescue operation?

With her petite frame, she’s the delicate artist type—who’s she going to rescue?

Ethan felt increasingly uneasy. “What rescue? Who were you rescuing?”

“It was the situation two months ago, when an earthquake suddenly hit the Yuchuan area, trapping many people in the mountains, their fate uncertain. Many volunteers came, including your wife.”

Yuchuan?

Hearing this familiar name, Ethan was startled. Wasn’t that the place he had been during his last mission? How did she end up there?

“Did my wife say who she was rescuing?” Ethan asked immediately.

The rescue team captain looked at Ethan suspiciously, “Are you really her husband? Why ask such a question? Wasn’t your wife there to rescue you?”

“Rescue me?”

“Yeah, your wife said you’d gone into the mountains and hadn’t been in contact for several days. She hurried over immediately and, despite her petite frame, she joined us in searching the forest amidst aftershocks, disregarding the danger to find you.”

Ethan’s mind went “boom,” completely exploding; he was now completely blank—she actually went to find him?

Why did she go to find him? Didn’t she dislike him?

Why didn’t she tell him?

“Your wife truly is a good woman. She was so worried about you she couldn’t eat or sleep, her soul restless. Anyone could see she really likes you and cares about you.”

She likes him?

She cares about him?

As Ethan turned to leave, these words echoed in his ears. He had never dared to even imagine.

Now he felt like he was walking on clouds; indescribable joy filled his heart as if he’d ascended to heaven.

Returning to the private room, Celeste glanced at him. “You went to the bathroom for such a long time?”

Ethan didn’t say anything, just smiled at her and handed her the chopsticks, “The dishes are here, let’s eat.”

Then he served her many dishes.

Celeste noticed his good mood; his lips were constantly curled up, smiles barely concealed, akin to a sense of secret delight.

He’s never been this happy; is it because of the divorce?

Unexpectedly, he seems thrilled about the divorce; he must’ve wanted to divorce her for a long time?

……

The two returned home, and Celeste sat on the bed while Ethan answered a call in the living room. After that, he took his coat and prepared to leave.

“Celeste, I have to handle something. You rest well in bed. Mrs. Webb has prepared your favorite meal.” He reminded her from the door.

Celeste feigned indifference and casually asked, “Where are you going?”

“To see someone.”

“Oh, who is it? Is that person important?”

Ethan didn’t answer the question. “Celeste, I’m heading out.”

With that, he left the house.

Celeste lay in bed, trying to rest, but tossed and turned restlessly; she didn’t know what was wrong with herself.

Who’s he seeing?

Celeste sat up and opened the door to go out.

Celeste didn’t know where he went. She wandered around, and suddenly saw Ethan’s tall and upright figure ahead, with someone beside him—it was Crystal White.

The person he went to meet was Crystal White?

How did he and Crystal end up together again?
