My Child and I Married a Billionaire novel Chapter 80

Chapter 80: Chapter 80: Inexplicable Possessiveness

The name Candy successfully caught Damien Vaughn’s attention.

’Just yesterday, she didn’t even know who Candy was. Today, she’s calling her by name and planning to visit her in the hospital. Isn’t this woman being a little too forward?’

Damien Vaughn felt an inexplicable possessiveness over Candy. "Why do you want to see Candy?"

"Because Cecelia Archer and I are friends. Candy is so adorable, and she’s so seriously ill. My heart aches for her. Isn’t it only right that I go see her?"

’They’re already friends? Just how desperate is Cecelia Archer for friends?’

Although Damien Vaughn was annoyed by her sudden involvement, he had no right to stop her. After hearing Annabelle Young out, he turned to leave, but she took a step to follow him.

"We still haven’t added each other on WeChat. Damien, what do you like to eat? I’ll book a restaurant according to your tastes. And Candy, aren’t you close with her? What does she like to eat? I can have someone arrange for that in advance, too."

Damien Vaughn said, "Aren’t you and Cecelia friends? She knows her own daughter better than I do."

"Oh, Cecelia? She’s started working at my jewelry store, so I’m afraid it won’t be convenient for her to be on her phone."

Damien Vaughn stopped in his tracks. "Cecelia went to work?"

Seeing that she had once again captured his attention, Annabelle Young felt even more certain that she was on the right track.

She smugly recounted how she had arranged the job for Cecelia yesterday, how Cecelia had to change to a different hospital room, and how pitiful Candy looked.

"I only arranged it because I saw how pitiful the mother and daughter were. Candy is so young and has suffered so much. I didn’t have any other motive. Damien, you don’t think I’m being a busybody, do you?"

Damien Vaughn thought she was, in fact, quite the busybody.

’Isn’t Cecelia supposed to be marrying Shane Grant? Didn’t Shane arrange everything for Candy, from the bone marrow matching to her hospitalization? Why would Cecelia suddenly have to change rooms?’

’Could it be that she and Shane Grant had a falling out?’

"Ryan, give her your WeChat."

Damien Vaughn entered the building first. Annabelle Young added Ryan on WeChat and went home, delighted, to change into a chic little dress.

At 11 AM, before she had a chance to message Damien Vaughn, he unexpectedly messaged her first.

"Where are you?"

Annabelle quickly replied, "At home. I was waiting for your message. Where should we go for lunch?"

Damien Vaughn seemed to ignore her question. "Where does Cecelia Archer work?"

’What does he mean? At this hour, he’s not planning to go find Cecelia, is he?’

’Or does he want to take me along to eat with her?’

’Didn’t Cecelia say there was nothing between them? Why does it seem like he cares so much about her?’

"Walden Trade Center. Damien, are you thinking..."

"We’ll eat at the Trade Center. I’m heading over now."

’The Trade Center is all fast food, no high-end restaurants. Is he really that down-to-earth?’

Annabelle was stunned for a moment but quickly set off anyway.

’As long as I can have a meal with him, I’ll go anywhere.’

By the time she parked her car and hurried to the entrance of Walden Trade Center, Damien Vaughn and Ryan were just walking toward the entrance as well.

Annabelle went to greet them. "You guys were fast. Damien, what do you feel like eating?"
