Chapter 1480: Chapter 1480: Went to Another Woman’s Room
Celeste Linden did not resist, allowing Ethan Barnes to carry her into the bathroom.
Ethan set her down on the ground and asked with a wicked gleam in his eyes, "Will I undress myself, or will you help me?"
Celeste curled her lips into a smile, "Of course... I’ll help you undress. Since I said I’d attend to you, it has to be the full service."
Saying this, Celeste raised her small hands to help Ethan unbutton his shirt.
Ethan was overjoyed. It had been a long time since he’d received such luxurious treatment. He couldn’t help but suspect that Celeste might be up to something.
"Celeste, should I help you with your clothes, or do you want to handle it yourself?" Ethan seemed eager.
Celeste’s face showed a trace of charm, "How can you be so bad? If I’m helping you undress, shouldn’t you help me too? Of course... you should help me undress!"
It felt like a dream to Ethan. This sensation was so wonderful, so surreal. He immediately reached out, "Alright, let me help you undress."
Just then, Celeste suddenly held down his large hand, and Ethan’s heart skipped a beat, suddenly feeling a sense of foreboding, "What’s wrong?"
Celeste feigned surprise and covered her mouth innocently, "I’m sorry, King Hayden, I forgot, today is my... special day."
What?
Ethan’s passion was promptly extinguished as if doused with a bucket of cold water. His expression changed drastically, "So what?"
"So, King Hayden, tonight you must pick another lady, because I can’t attend to you."
"..." Ethan raised his hand as if to strike her, "Celeste, are you doing this on purpose?"
Celeste immediately covered her small head, frightened.
But Ethan did not actually hit her.
Seeing that his fist did not fall, initially, challenging a tiger was a very dangerous thing. She thought he would really hit her. Since he didn’t move, Celeste revealed her gentle, clear eyes, blinking at him, "You’re not going to hit me?"
Her demeanor exuded a slight cuteness, like a playful little girl. Actually, Celeste was only in her twenties, but having experienced so much, she was quite mature inside. Now, she showed a bit of girlish innocence.
No matter how angry Ethan was, he couldn’t express it at the moment. However, he asked with a sullen face, "Are you deliberately messing with me?"
"No, I just forgot in the moment, really." Celeste lied.
Ethan knew she was doing it on purpose, "I suppose you’re quite happy that I’ll be choosing another woman tonight?"
Celeste felt puzzled. She looked in the mirror to see if her happiness was that obvious.
"How could it be? I’m very reluctant to part with you, but I know I must be fair. Don’t worry, I’m quite generous."
To hell with her generosity!
Ethan didn’t like her generosity at all. He even wished she would get jealous like a shrew, but she never did.
Ethan narrowed his eyes, "With so many beauties in my harem, who do you think I should favor tonight?"
Was Ethan seeking her opinion?
This really put Celeste in a tough spot. Now even his choice required her input?
Celeste thought hard for a moment, "I recall there is a beauty named Camellia. Perhaps you could favor her tonight."
This Camellia was the standout in the harem, dazzling and skilled at winning men’s hearts. Before Celeste came, she was Ethan’s favorite concubine.
After Celeste arrived, Camellia fell out of favor. Now, Celeste was giving Camellia the chance, hoping she would do her best to capture Ethan’s heart, so she could have a bit of peace.
Seeing her earnest appearance, Ethan felt an urge to strangle her. This woman’s heart could not be warmed.
"Alright, as you wish, I’ll go and choose Camellia now."
With that said, he turned and left.
He left?
He really left!
Celeste let out a big sigh of relief, quickly got into bed, and snuggled under the covers, feeling she could finally have a good night’s sleep.
...
Ethan’s repeated nights at Celeste’s place had already caused strong dissatisfaction in the harem. These beauties gathered together to badmouth Celeste,
"What sort of spell did that seductress cast on King Hayden? Ever since she arrived, King Hayden hasn’t looked at me properly."
"After all, she’s been married before, had many men. How could she be like us, having only King Hayden? Naturally, she’s more experienced."
"What should we do? Just watch Celeste favored in the harem and do nothing? I won’t accept it!"
"What do you have in mind, then? Want to make that seductress disappear?"
Following this sentence, everyone fell silent. In this harem, no one dared to cause trouble because they had all seen Ethan’s methods and didn’t want to die.
But leaving Celeste unchecked was also a dead end.
Everyone’s gaze began to change, and Camellia was among them, the most unwilling of all.
Just then, a maid arrived, "Miss Camellia, just now our master chose your name. You can now go bathe and change clothes; the master will come to your room shortly."
What?
This amazing news nearly knocked Camellia out. Originally, Ethan chose Celeste’s name, but who would’ve thought he’d come here halfway through.
"Sister Camellia, you really are amazing, snatching King Hayden from that seductress. You’re probably the first!"
"Sister Camellia, you really boost our morale. Make sure to win and keep King Hayden’s heart, so he won’t go back."
Camellia felt a bit smug. She had always been one of the beauties here. Now given the opportunity, she happily stood up, "Thank you, sisters. I’ll go serve King Hayden now. Once I’ve succeeded, everyone can have good days."
...
Camellia returned to her room and immediately took a rose milk bath, making herself fragrant and lovely.
She donned a thin, gauzy nightgown and let her dark hair cascade down. Looking at the beauty in the mirror, though Celeste was gentle and nice, Camellia was far more alluring, just like her name, impossible for a man to resist.
Camellia felt delighted inside and made a silent vow that tonight she must become his woman.
Actually, Camellia had a secret in her heart. She and Ethan hadn’t consummated their relationship yet.
People might not believe it if she said it out loud. She used to be Ethan’s favorite concubine. Others thought she should be having blissful nights all along.
But Ethan hadn’t touched her yet.
This secret Camellia had never told anyone.
