Substitute Bride: Utterly Pampered by Her Billionaire Husband

Chapter 1507: She’s Pregnant!

She actually threw up.

He kissed her, and she actually threw up.

Ethan Barnes’s handsome face instantly turned cold, and he looked at Celeste Linden with icy eyes. "Celeste Linden, are you looking for trouble?"

Celeste Linden felt overwhelmingly uncomfortable. She forcefully pushed him away and ran to the bathroom, leaning over the toilet and vomiting profusely.

This bout of vomiting felt like the world was turning upside down, and she almost threw up her bile.

Ethan stood at the door, watching her uncomfortable state. Her face was completely pale; she didn’t seem to be doing it on purpose.

He stepped forward and reached out to pat her back.

However, Celeste reflexively dodged, lifting her head to look at him. "Ethan, I’m already in this state, and you still want to touch me?"

"..." Ethan’s hand hung awkwardly in the air, feeling the sting of having his goodwill misunderstood.

"Celeste, you’re always opposing me and making me angry. Carlotta is so much better than you in this regard."

"Since Carlotta is so good, why don’t you go to her? Hurry up, I don’t want to see you." Celeste told him to leave.

Ethan was really angered. He gave a cold snort and left in a huff.

Celeste thought, even someone as understanding and gentle as Carlotta wasn’t spared by him. In her heart, she looked down on him immensely.

...

Ethan left, but he didn’t return to his room because Carlotta was staying there.

He didn’t want to see Carlotta tonight either, probably because he was genuinely upset by Celeste, who didn’t appreciate him. He only felt restless and uninterested in anyone, so he went to the study and slept there for the night.

The next morning, there was a knock on the study door, and Carlotta’s sweet voice came from outside, "Brother Ethan, are you up?"

Ethan immediately sat up, "Come in."

The study door was pushed open, and Carlotta came in, holding a bowl of noodles.

"Brother Ethan, you’re awake? I cooked some noodles for you. Please eat while it’s hot." Carlotta placed the noodles in front of him.

Ethan said, "Did you make these noodles yourself? We have a chef here, so leave these tasks to them in the future. Carlotta, you should rest more."

Carlotta looked at him with concern. "Brother Ethan, you worked all night last night. I thought you were working too hard, so I made some noodles to reward you."

Ethan felt a pang of guilt. He wasn’t working last night but was in Celeste’s room. He didn’t expect his sweet Carlotta had personally cooked for him.

Thinking of Celeste’s rejection of him and comparing it to Carlotta’s sweetness, Ethan immediately took Carlotta’s small hand, "Carlotta, thank you."

"No need to thank me~" Just then, Carlotta noticed the injury on Ethan’s lip. "Huh, Brother Ethan, what happened to your lip? How did it get hurt?"

Ethan immediately thought of how Celeste bit him last night, and now Carlotta noticed this ambiguous wound.

"Oh, I accidentally bumped it yesterday." Ethan casually lied.

Carlotta blinked her eyelashes, "Brother Ethan, how did you bump it to hit the corner of your lip?"

"...I hit the corner of the cabinet, Carlotta. Let’s not talk about this. You sit down; I’ll go wash up." Ethan retreated into the washroom.

Watching Ethan’s disappearing direction, the smile on Carlotta’s face gradually faded. It was obvious to anyone that the wound wasn’t from a bump but looked more like a bite.

Brother Ethan lied to her.

Being apart for so many years, Carlotta felt anxious despite Ethan’s efforts to give her a sense of security. But years of hardship had made her insecure and sensitive; she felt she no longer deserved Brother Ethan.

Moreover, Brother Ethan now held a high position, and there must be many temptations around him. This wound on his lip immediately gave her a sense of crisis.

With a woman’s most sensitive intuition, she was certain Ethan had another woman outside.

Who is that woman?

...

Celeste stepped out of her room, and Carlotta called out to her, "Cousin."

"Carlotta, are you calling me?"

"Yes, cousin, there’s something I’d like to ask you," Carlotta took Celeste’s hand and whispered, probing, "Do you know if your cousin has another woman outside?"

Celeste’s heart skipped a beat, wondering if Carlotta had noticed something.

"Carlotta, why are you asking this? My cousin hasn’t gotten married yet, and I’ve never seen him date anyone." Celeste dared not say anything reckless in front of Carlotta; she wasn’t in a position to confront Ethan yet.

Carlotta knitted her brows, "But I saw Brother Ethan’s lip was injured, clearly from a woman’s bite, yet he didn’t tell me the truth and lied saying it was a bump."

Ethan’s lip injury was her doing.

Celeste regretted it a lot; when she bit Ethan yesterday, she didn’t foresee this, didn’t expect Carlotta to notice and become suspicious.

"Carlotta, about this...I really don’t know..." Celeste could only answer like this.

Just then, the doctor arrived, "Miss Carlotta, I’m here to check your health."

"Okay, thank you, doctor."

With the doctor here and Ethan not around, now was her chance. She could bribe the doctor to bring a pregnancy test kit.

Celeste immediately said, "Carlotta, I’ll accompany you."

"Sure."

Celeste accompanied Carlotta into the room, where Carlotta lay on the bed for a check-up, "Miss Carlotta, your health is improving and getting better."

Carlotta was delighted. She wanted to be healthy to always accompany Brother Ethan, "Thank you, doctor."

"Carlotta, let me see the doctor out for you."

"Okay."

Celeste escorted the doctor out, and with just the two of them there, Celeste whispered, "Doctor, please bring me a pregnancy test kit."

"What?" The doctor looked at Celeste with surprise.

Celeste didn’t say anything else. She just took off a diamond bracelet from her wrist and quietly slipped it into the doctor’s pocket.

The next day, when the doctor came to check on Carlotta, he brought the pregnancy test kit. Celeste succeeded in getting it.

She urgently went to test herself. The results would take five minutes, and Celeste waited anxiously.

She was finally going to find out if she was pregnant or not.

If she wasn’t pregnant, she had to find a way to leave here quickly. But if she was pregnant...

What should she do if she was pregnant?

Just thinking about this possibility, Celeste was in inner turmoil.

Then the five minutes were up, and the results came out.

Celeste kept silently praying that she wasn’t pregnant, but she looked at the pregnancy test, and there were two red lines.

Two red lines meant she was pregnant.

Celeste’s heart skipped a beat. She knew she was doomed; she really was pregnant.

She was pregnant!
