My Child and I Married a Billionaire novel Chapter 342

Chapter 342: Chapter 342: Having a Baby Is So Painful

Damien Vaughn didn’t know how to answer his daughter’s question, so he could only give her a diplomatic answer.

"Being pregnant takes ten months, and it’s very hard. Giving birth is also very painful and can even be life-threatening. Let’s not make Mommy go through that suffering, okay?"

’What? Giving birth is life-threatening?’

Terrified, Candy immediately threw her arms around Damien Vaughn’s neck.

"That’s so scary! No more babies, no more babies! I’m never going to ask Mommy to have a baby again. Daddy, I don’t want to have a baby when I grow up, either!"

Damien Vaughn held his daughter close. "Of course, you can. If it’s something Candy doesn’t want to do, you don’t have to do it."

"But will people think I’m a monster? If everyone else has babies and I don’t."

"No. Anyone who thinks you’re a monster is the real monster. Getting married or not, having babies or not—that’s everyone’s right to choose freely. No matter what you choose, as long as you’re happy, it’s the right choice. You don’t have to pay any attention to those people."

"Mommy and Daddy will always support me, no matter what I choose, right?"

"Of course."

"Oh, I’m so happy! I love Mommy and Daddy so much!"

Listening to the conversation between the father and daughter, Cecelia Archer thought, ’Not getting a divorce really was the right decision.’

To be fair, ever since she’d known Damien Vaughn, he’d never been anything but wonderful to Candy.

「The next morning at six.」

Cecelia Archer slipped away from the sofa where Damien Vaughn was sleeping and left him a note.

"I have a meeting with a client, so I’m leaving a bit early today. Please explain to Candy when she wakes up. I’ll be back on time this afternoon."

She successfully met up with Julian Sherman’s people and was taken to his van.

After getting her hair and makeup done, Cecelia Archer was driven to the production studio by herself.

The show was originally supposed to start filming last year, but it had been postponed until now due to various issues.

In the meantime, two other dating shows had aired. The first one did okay, but by the second one, viewers were getting tired of the format, and the reactions became increasingly lukewarm.

To stand out from the competition, the production team for this dating show decided to try a new approach: a live broadcast.

They called it a live broadcast, but in reality, a script had already been prepared. While they wouldn’t follow it 100%, the general character personas and framework were already set.

The first segment of the show involved the celebrity and non-celebrity guests pretending not to know each other. They would be paired up by answering questions, and successful pairs could then go on a date.

Cecelia Archer stood before the cameras with several other female guests. When the male celebrities walked out, everyone’s eyes lit up, and they put on expressions of secret delight.

The production team brought out a pile of food and had them choose their favorites. Everyone picked according to the script.

Then, they brought out some small toys for them to choose, and everyone made their selections.

In the end, Cecelia Archer was successfully paired with Julian Sherman.

Next up was their first date.

The bullet comments flew wildly across the screen.

"Does Mr. Sherman have this much chemistry with this guest? Their outfits even look a bit like a couple’s set. And she’s good-looking in a natural way, much better than the others. I’m satisfied."

"Why do I get the feeling Mr. Sherman was into her from the start? He has good taste. The two of them have great chemistry."

"I was totally against Mr. Sherman joining a dating show. I felt like no one in this world is good enough for him except me, but I’m surprised I don’t hate this woman."

"What are they going to do? The other couple went to an amusement park, another pair is at a wet market getting ready to cook, and the fitness-obsessed couple went hiking. I wonder what Mr. Sherman has planned."

"So cliché. Every dating show has the same old routines. Just hearing their plans makes this show sound so boring. This is Mr. Sherman’s first variety show, I hope it isn’t a flop."

The two of them walked out of the studio, exchanging a few polite words as if they were strangers. Julian Sherman asked Cecelia Archer what her hobbies were, and Cecelia said, "Housework."

’It’s over.’ The bullet comments started flying again.

"This woman has zero entertainment flair. Don’t tell me she’s going to drag our Mr. Sherman off to do chores?"

"I told you Mr. Sherman shouldn’t have taken this kind of show! He just had to do it! Just wait for it to be a flop!"
