Dominic Reynolds’s parents are coming because Dominic had some issues a few days ago, and it’s also his father’s 60th birthday. So, they flew over to have a good family reunion and celebrate the birthday.

As the daughter-in-law, Celeste Linden had started preparing early. It’s rare for the elders to come, so she had to fulfill her duties as a junior.

"Dominic, do your parents prefer hard beds or soft beds?" Celeste was making the bed.

Dominic walked over and embraced her from behind, "Celeste, you don’t have to do this, you’ve been busy for days. If my parents knew about your dedication, they would be very touched. They already like you very much."

Dominic’s parents are highly educated and they like Celeste very much, they are very satisfied with their daughter-in-law.

"It’s rare for Mom and Dad to come over, so I must prepare well," Celeste said with a smile.

At that moment, a melodic ringtone played; Celeste had a phone call.

The phone was just on the bedside table, and since Celeste was holding something, Dominic naturally went over, "Celeste, your phone is ringing, who’s calling you?"

Before Dominic could reach the phone, a small hand quickly reached over and snatched the phone away.

Dominic looked in surprise at Celeste, who ran over, to see her quickly end the call and put the phone in her pocket.

"Celeste, what happened, who called you?"

Celeste raised her hand and tucked a strand of her hair behind her ear, hiding her feelings, "Oh, it’s a colleague. I haven’t been at work for days, and everyone’s starting to urge me."

Dominic looked at her, then slowly smiled, "You’ve worked hard during this time. Once my parents leave, you can go back to work. I will always support you fully."

Celeste nodded, "Okay, Dominic, thank you."

"No need to thank me. We are husband and wife. Saying thank you makes us seem distant." Dominic stroked her long hair.

The two of them went back to the room to prepare for a bath and sleep when the melodic ringtone sounded again; it was another call for Celeste.

Celeste looked at Dominic, who smiled while holding his pajamas, "I’m going in to take a bath, you can answer the call. I won’t eavesdrop."

With that, Dominic went into the bathroom.

Celeste’s face became a little pale. Perhaps the perceptive Dominic had already noticed something, but he asked nothing and unconditionally trusted and tolerated her, which only increased her guilt and remorse.

The call was from Ethan Barnes. After a few days of peace, his call came again.

If she didn’t answer, he might keep calling.

Celeste went to the balcony and answered the call, suppressing her anger, "Ethan, what do you want?"

"Celeste, why such anger? I’ve been busy for a few days. Did you miss me?" Ethan’s familiar voice came through.

"I did."

"Really?"

"I wish you would die soon."

"Women always say the opposite of what they mean. I don’t believe what you said."

"...Don’t call me again, or I’ll turn off the phone."

"Come out. I’m waiting for you outside."

What?

He’s already outside her house?

Celeste’s heart suddenly tightened. She whispered, "Ethan, stop it. I’m with my husband now. If I go out now, what would he think? You have so many women in your harem, why cling to me?"

"That’s my business, none of your concern. You have three minutes. If I don’t see you, you’ll face the consequences." Ethan immediately hung up the phone.

This man!

Celeste’s mind was a mess. On one side, she felt guilty towards Dominic, on the other side, she was cornered by Ethan’s relentless push. She could hardly breathe.

In the end, Celeste still compromised with the devil. While Dominic was still in the shower, she quickly went out the door.

Indeed, there was a black luxury car parked on the street outside the villa. It was Ethan’s car.

Celeste opened the back door and got in. Ethan was in a black trench coat, lazily leaning back in the seat with his eyes closed for a nap, looking weary as if he’d rushed here.

Ethan opened his eyes then, his dark eyes laced with a bit of red, and he smiled at her, "Celeste, you’re here?"

"Yes, I’m here. You’ve seen me, can I leave now?" Celeste said impatiently.

The driver in the front was surprised at Celeste, thinking this woman was somewhat ungrateful.

King Hayden had been traveling, and when he came back, he came straight here. She, a married woman, dared to be so arrogant, completely unlike the gentle and understanding beauties of the harem. He wondered who gave her the nerve.

Ethan wasn’t angry at all. He leaned his handsome face closer, "Come, give me a kiss."

This lunatic!

Celeste glanced at the driver in front, implying there was someone else, next time perhaps.

Ethan directly told the driver, "Go buy me a pack of cigarettes."

"Yes." The driver quickly got out of the car.

Ethan leaned his handsome face closer again, "Now can you kiss me?"

"If I kiss you, can I leave then?"

"Kiss me first."

Celeste quickly pecked his handsome face, but when she tried to pull back, it was too late. Ethan had already reached out and clasped the back of her head, kissing her forcefully on the lips.

Mm.

Celeste quickly pressed her small hands against his chest, but she couldn’t break free of his kiss, his breath overwhelming her.

"Ethan, don’t touch me, I... just did it with my husband and haven’t showered!" Celeste tried to use reverse psychology to disgust Ethan.

Ethan squinted at her, casually smiling, "Little liar, you think I would fall for your trick? While you do share a bed with your husband, he hasn’t touched you."

"How do you know?" Celeste’s heart sank, finding the man before her terribly frightening, "Have you been spying on me? Did you install cameras in my house or put a tracker on me?"

"Celeste, so you’ve admitted it?"

Celeste bit her lip, not saying a word.

At this point, Ethan reached over and pulled her onto his lap, "Celeste, you should be thankful Dominic hasn’t touched you. Otherwise, he wouldn’t live to see today. I only placed you with him so he could take good care of you."

"...Let go of me, I’m on my period today, I can’t serve you."

Period?

Ethan’s eyebrows quickly furrowed. He looked at her suspiciously, "Celeste, are you lying to me again?"

"Can I lie to you about this? If you don’t believe me, see for yourself."

Celeste really was on her period. It was the luckiest thing that happened to her during this time, as she didn’t need to serve him.
