My Child and I Married a Billionaire novel Chapter 57

Chapter 57: Chapter 57: Watching Her Show Off Affection With Someone Else

"HAHAHA, of course, that would be wonderful. But this isn’t for Grandpa Lee to decide. It’s up to your father and Aunt Archer."

"Shane, I see you and Miss Archer are getting along quite well, and the children like each other too. Are good things on the horizon?"

"If that’s the case, don’t forget to invite me when the big day comes. I was friends with your mother for half a lifetime. Being able to witness your happiness again would be like fulfilling a wish for her."

Cecelia Archer: "..."

Shane Grant couldn’t help but glance at her. Being so openly matched up with him had made her shy. Her cheeks and ears were red as tomatoes, and with her eyes slightly lowered, she looked utterly captivating.

Shane Grant’s heart skipped a beat.

’Over the years, countless young, beautiful, and highly educated university students had applied to be a nanny and tutor for Annie. But Annie didn’t approve of a single one, always crying and throwing tantrums, refusing to cooperate.’

’The last one, Ms. Sawyer, had only stayed because he had forced her to, compelling Annie to accept her. But she only lasted three months before making up an excuse and refusing to come back.’

’He never would have expected that Annie would take a liking to Cecelia Archer at first sight.’

’Not only did he want her as his teacher, but he also wanted her as his mother. And now, even an old fox like Uncle Lee, a man who had seen countless people and had impeccably sharp judgment, had a good impression of Cecelia Archer after meeting her just once.’

He couldn’t help but wonder: ’Could it be that Cecelia Archer is an angel sent by Rose’s spirit in heaven, meant to take her place for us?’

’Otherwise, how could I, a man who deeply loved Rose, not feel any aversion to Cecelia?’

’Since this seems to be destined, I might as well seize the opportunity.’

"Thank you for your concern, Uncle. Don’t worry, when that day comes, you will certainly have the seat of honor."

’So, does this mean Dad has decided to start pursuing Auntie?’

Annie was thrilled, as if Cecelia Archer had already become his mother. His big eyes darted around, and he moved from Cecelia’s left side to her right, nudging her closer to his father.

Cecelia hadn’t expected him to suddenly push against her. The dirt path underfoot was uneven, and she stumbled, tripping over a rock.

Shane Grant quickly reached out to steady her. "Careful."

His clean, warm hand gripped her wrist. A wave of masculine strength and pheromones washed over her, and Cecelia’s face turned even redder.

"Thank you, Mr. Grant."

She quickly pulled her hand away.

Watching the man and woman in their early, ambiguous stage of courtship—the blushing and the tentative testing of boundaries—Uncle Lee couldn’t help but give a knowing smile. He turned and picked Annie up.

"Come here, little fella. Let Grandpa Lee hold you. Let’s go, you and I can have a little chat."

The group split into three pairs. Damien Vaughn walked in front, holding Candy. Uncle Lee was in the middle, holding Annie. And Cecelia Archer and Shane Grant fell to the back.

Cecelia felt a little anxious. She wanted to catch up and ask Damien Vaughn what was going on with his name and identity, and how he knew Candy so well. But Shane Grant was walking slowly, and she felt it would be rude to just leave him behind.

When they arrived at the site of the beef banquet, Damien Vaughn turned around and saw a certain scene.

Cecelia Archer and Shane Grant were walking side by side, smiles on both their faces as they chatted about something or other.

One tall and handsome, the other leaning on him like a delicate bird—they looked for all the world like a couple in love!

Uncle Lee, still holding Annie, also turned back to look and teased Damien Vaughn.

"Don’t they look good together? Similar in age, similar in looks. One has a son, the other has a daughter. It really seems like a match made in heaven."

"Looks like Shane’s love life is about to be sorted out. Damien, you’re not getting any younger yourself. You should hurry it up."

Damien Vaughn looked like he was about to shoot fire from his eyes.

’Veridia’s social circle is only so big,’ he fumed. ’After sleeping with me, she’s just going to take our child and marry someone else? Isn’t she afraid Shane Grant will find out one day?’

’Just what does she take me, Damien Vaughn, for?’
