My Child and I Married a Billionaire novel Chapter 252

Chapter 252: Chapter 252: Turning Hostile Faster Than Flipping a Book

Damien Vaughn clung to Cecelia Archer’s back, his arms around her waist, as they leisurely rode the motorcycle to the supermarket.

It was a large supermarket with a pleasant, upscale atmosphere.

He didn’t know if it was because he was with Cecelia Archer, or because everything was so neatly and beautifully arranged, but for the first time in his life, Damien Vaughn discovered that grocery shopping could actually be enjoyable.

Cecelia Archer was exhausted and in no mood to wander. She headed straight for the produce section and asked him what he wanted to eat.

In reality, the vegetables available were more or less the same all over the country. Sudland didn’t have many local specialties, and after looking for a while, they still couldn’t make up their minds.

Finally, Damien Vaughn’s gaze drifted to the seafood section.

"Let’s have seafood. Both you and Zeke Walton worked hard today, so let’s get some to treat yourselves."

"But you just had an anti-inflammatory shot. Are you even allowed to eat seafood? Besides, I don’t know how to cook it."

"I can’t eat it, but you two can. You might not know how to cook it, but the hotel chef does. I told you to buy it, so just buy it."

Cecelia Archer really couldn’t figure him out.

He was the one who wanted to eat this, and he was the one who had insisted she cook for him, but now he was saying things like this.

’Whatever. Let His Lordship have whatever makes him happy.’

As expected of a coastal city, the seafood was large and the prices were low.

Cecelia Archer picked out a few crabs, then reached her hand into the lobster tank.

"How about we each get a lobster, then? I’ve never had one this big before."

’She sounded so pitiful.’

’Back when she had everything at the Vaughn estate, the maids would ask her every day what she wanted to eat, and she never said anything like this.’

Damien Vaughn shot her an exasperated but amused glance.

"Then pick out a few more. You can eat your fill today."

Cecelia Archer realized he was in a good mood today. Though he was still being a pain, he was also being genuinely generous.

Smiling, she went to scoop up a lobster. But the creature was lively and hard to catch. Lacking experience, Cecelia Archer tried and failed a few times, only to have her finger caught in its pincer.

"AH! Damien Vaughn!"

Damien Vaughn had been looking at the sea cucumbers nearby. His attention lapsed for just a second, but he heard her scream. He glanced down and saw her slender finger clamped tightly in the massive lobster pincer.

He was utterly exasperated with Cecelia Archer.

"How can you be so clumsy? Don’t you know there are tongs for that?"

"Just stop talking and help me get it off! It hurts!"

Damien Vaughn rushed to pry open the lobster’s pincer.

The creature was surprisingly strong. Even though Damien could lift a twenty-kilogram weight with one hand, it still took him several tries to pry the pincer off.

The pincer broke off, but Cecelia Archer’s finger had been pierced. Blood mixed with tank water dripped steadily to the floor.

In an instant, Damien Vaughn lost all appetite for dinner.

"Is it that bad? I’m taking you to the hospital."

Although her finger was throbbing painfully, Cecelia Archer didn’t think it was serious enough for a hospital visit.

"Come on, it’s just a tiny cut. It’ll probably be healed by the time we get to the hospital. It’s not worth the embarrassment."

"Nonsense. That water’s not clean, and you have an open wound. It’ll get infected if it’s not treated properly. Stop arguing and come with me."

Cecelia Archer tried to protest, but he cut her off, tucking her under his arm and lifting her clean off the ground.

’Wasn’t he on the verge of fainting just a minute ago? How did he suddenly turn into Hercules?’

Cecelia Archer decided he was completely bipolar.

After a mad dash, the two of them were back at the hospital.

It was the same ER doctor from before. Seeing that the woman was the patient this time, he shot the pair a speechless glance.

"ID card. Any prior medical conditions?"

Cecelia Archer was so embarrassed she wished the ground would swallow her whole. ’In this doctor’s eyes,’ she thought, ’we must look like a couple of idiots.’

"No."
