Married to my Ex's Billionaire Father Chapter 165: The Gender Reveal Scan
The days passed quietly after Maya's conversation with Damon.She had finally admitted the truth to herself.She wanted to stay.She wanted Damon.She wanted their children to grow up with both of them.But she still hadn't told him.Every time the words reached her lips, fear stopped her.What if everything changed once she said them?What if Damon no longer wanted the same thing?Her pregnancy, meanwhile, continued to progress.The babies moved more often now.Damon still became completely distracted whenever he felt one of them move.Sometimes, he would place his hand over Maya's stomach before going to sleep and wait patiently.Maya secretly loved watching him.One morning, Rachel walked into the kitchen carrying Maya's appointment folder.“Your scan is tomorrow.”Maya looked up.“I know.”Rachel smiled.“You haven't forgotten?”“No.”“This one is important.”Maya knew exactly what she meant.For months, she and Damon had chosen not to find out the babies' g

Maya noticed the change the following morning.Damon was sitting across from her at breakfast, listening to Ethan tell a ridiculous story about his childhood, but his attention seemed elsewhere.He smiled at the right moments.He answered when someone spoke to him.Yet Maya knew him well enough now to see what everyone else missed.He was distracted.She watched him reach for his coffee.“Damon.”He looked at her.“Yes?”“Are you okay?”“I’m fine.”Maya raised an eyebrow.“You're doing it again.”“Doing what?”“Pretending everything is fine.”Ethan glanced between them.“Should I leave?”Maya laughed.“No.”Damon shook his head.“I said I'm fine.”“You've been quiet since you woke up.”“I didn't sleep well.”“Why?”Damon looked at her for a moment.“Too many things on my mind.”Maya knew exactly what he meant.The agreement.She didn't ask about it in front of everyone.Later, she found him in his study.He was standing beside the window, looking out at

Damon spent most of the afternoon trying to concentrate on work.It wasn't going well.He sat behind his desk at Bennett Global, staring at a report without absorbing a single line.His thoughts kept returning to Maya.More specifically, to the words she had spoken that morning.“What if I don't want to leave?”She had looked surprised after saying them.As though the words had escaped before she was ready.Damon had thought about them ever since.For months, he had tried to convince himself he could accept whatever Maya decided when their agreement ended.He had made the promise before they married.He would never pressure her.He would never make her feel trapped.But now the end of the agreement was approaching, and the promise was becoming harder to keep.His phone rang.Damon glanced at the screen.His lawyer.He answered.“Hello.”“Mr. Bennett, I wanted to discuss the marriage agreement.”Damon leaned back.“I remember.”“The expiration date is approaching.

The morning after Maya felt the babies move, she woke with a smile.For the first few seconds, she forgot everything else.She remembered Damon's hand against her stomach.The look on his face when he felt the movement.The way he had spoken about their children's future as though he already knew he would be there for every moment.Then reality returned.The agreement.Maya stared at the ceiling.She had spent so long thinking about the day their marriage would end.Now she couldn't imagine getting there.She turned toward Damon.He was still asleep.His face looked peaceful.Maya watched him for a moment.Then she whispered,“I want you.”Damon stirred.Her eyes widened.He opened his eyes slowly.“Did you say something?”“No.”He smiled sleepily.“You're becoming very good at saying that.”Maya laughed.“Go back to sleep.”“I can't.”“Why?”“Because you're staring at me.”She smiled.“Maybe I like looking at you.”Damon's expression softened.“I like t

Maya woke before dawn with a strange feeling in her stomach.She remained still, trying to understand what had disturbed her sleep.Then she felt it again.A tiny flutter.Maya placed her hand over her stomach.Her eyes widened.Another small movement followed.She smiled.“Damon.”He stirred beside her.“What happened?”“Wake up.”His eyes opened immediately.“Are you okay?”“Yes.”He pushed himself upright.“Then what is it?”Maya took his hand and placed it over her stomach.“Wait.”Damon looked at her.“What am I waiting for?”“The babies.”His expression changed.“You felt them?”“I think so.”He became completely still.“When?”“Just now.”“Why didn't you wake me?”“You were sleeping.”“You should have woken me.”Maya laughed softly.“You need sleep.”“Not when our babies are moving.”She smiled.“They'll move again.”Damon kept his hand against her stomach.They waited.Nothing happened.He looked at her.“Are you sure?”“I felt them twice.”“Maybe they're teasing me.”Maya lau
Married to my Ex's Billionaire Father Chapter 160: Damon Comes Home
Damon had always worked long hours.Maya had learned that before they were married.Bennett Global demanded his attention from early morning until late evening. Meetings filled his calendar. Phone calls followed him home. Important decisions seemed to wait for him no matter how late he stayed at the office.But lately, something had changed.He was coming home earlier.At first, Maya thought it was coincidence.Then it happened again.And again.One afternoon, she was sitting in the nursery, sorting through the tiny clothes Rachel had helped her organize, when she heard the front door open.She glanced at the clock.Four thirty.She smiled.Damon appeared in the doorway a few minutes later.“You're home early.”“I finished what I needed to finish.”Maya raised an eyebrow.“You finished everything at four thirty?”“Yes.”She looked at him suspiciously.“Are you sure you didn't escape?”Damon smiled.“I missed you.”The simple answer caught her off guard.“You cou
