My Child and I Married a Billionaire novel Chapter 348

Chapter 348: Chapter 348: Waiting for You to Come Back

As everyone expected, Julian Sherman announced that very night that he was withdrawing from the show. The production team also announced that Damien Vaughn would be taking his place.

In an instant, the reality show, *In the Mood for Love*, was pushed to unprecedented heights of popularity.

Over the next few days, Damien Vaughn and Cecelia Archer’s interactions were like those of a long-married couple. They livestreamed doing chores, cooking, and taking walks together. Later, they even started livestreaming their work. The show had explosive topics of discussion every day and trended on the hot search list for over ten days straight.

The Vaughn Group’s market value increased by over ten billion, and its prominence was unrivaled.

This time, his second and third uncles could no longer sit still.

Their faces had been slapped swollen. If this continued, even if Damien Vaughn really did kick them out, no one would speak up for them or sympathize with them. How could they let that happen?

To protect themselves, they had to be ruthless!

The day after the show ended, an opportunity finally presented itself.

Because of the show’s explosive popularity and the subsequent rise in the Vaughn Group’s value, the first round of overseas financing for a new project went quite smoothly. Damien Vaughn had to travel to Rivia to sign the contracts.

On the morning of his departure, Damien Vaughn insisted on taking Candy to kindergarten.

The father and daughter clung to each other at the door as if it were a life-and-death parting. He promised again and again that he would be back soon before Candy finally let him go.

When they got back to the car, Damien Vaughn didn’t get in. "You can just drive to work. The chauffeur can take me to the airport. I’ll call you when I land."

But Cecelia Archer, for once, wanted to see him off. "You don’t want me to take you?"

How could that be possible? Damien Vaughn wished for nothing more than for her to see him off every day, to be with him every day.

"You’ve been working so hard these past few days. Why run back and forth?"

Cecelia Archer said the sweetest thing he’d heard from her since they’d met: "I’m not tired. I want to spend a little more time with you."

Damien Vaughn was so thrilled he nearly rushed forward to hug her.

Cecelia Archer drove. Although she’d said she wanted to spend more time with him, she didn’t say a word the entire way.

But just being able to sit there in silence with her made Damien Vaughn feel incredibly happy.

When they arrived at the airport, the staff members who were traveling with him—from legal, finance, and other departments—were already there.

This business trip would last a week at a minimum, or as long as ten to fifteen days. He desperately wanted to hug Cecelia Archer, but she still hadn’t forgiven him, and there were so many people around.

"Alright, you should head back now. Be careful on the road."

Cecelia Archer looked at his sharp black overcoat and the handsome, unparalleled face above it. It suddenly hit her that this was her husband, the emotional anchor for her and Candy, the pillar of their family. A wave of reluctance to part washed over her.

Before he was in their lives, being a little lonely with her daughter was one thing. But now that they had him, being apart again made her feel an emptiness in her heart.

"I’ll walk you to the security checkpoint."

Cecelia Archer was so different today.

’Could it be because of the show? Has she softened and started to forgive me?’

Damien Vaughn had finally waited for this day. His heart raced with excitement as he took her hand.

Cecelia Archer didn’t pull away. They walked hand in hand, wheeling the suitcase, to the security checkpoint.

This was as far as she could go.

Cecelia Archer looked at him with a soft gaze. "Get some rest on the way. Don’t work yourself too hard. Call me the moment you arrive."

"Okay."

Damien Vaughn agreed, then suddenly lowered his head and leaned close to her ear.

"Can I have a kiss?"

’With so many colleagues watching, and since he already asked, not kissing him would be embarrassing for him.’

Cecelia Archer stood on her tiptoes and gave him a quick kiss on the lips.

"Stay safe. Candy and I will be waiting for you at home."

"Okay." Damien Vaughn kissed her back, pressing a deep kiss onto her soft lips.
