Married to my Ex's Billionaire Father Chapter 128: Forgiveness
The morning after Christmas, Bennett House felt unusually peaceful.Maya sat near the window, looking through the photographs Rachel had given her the previous night.She smiled at the memories.Across the room, Rachel quietly arranged the remaining Christmas decorations.Maya watched her for a while.“Rachel?”Rachel turned.“Yes?”“Can we talk?”Rachel's hands stopped.“Of course.”Maya patted the seat beside her.Rachel hesitated before sitting.For several seconds, neither spoke.Then Maya closed the album.“I've been thinking about last night.”Rachel looked at her.“About the surprise?”“About us.”Rachel's stomach tightened.Maya continued.“I know things between us haven't always been easy.”Rachel lowered her eyes.“No.”“I know you were angry with me.”“I was.”“And I understand why.”Rachel looked at her.“You do?”Maya nodded.“I entered your life at a difficult time. Ethan and I had our history. Then everything changed so quickly.”Rachel swallowed.“You didn't deserve my

Rachel waited until everyone had finished dinner before she stood.“Before we end the evening, I have something for all of you.”Ethan looked at her suspiciously.“Is this the surprise you've been hiding?”Rachel smiled.“You'll have to wait.”She walked toward the hallway, keeping her expression cheerful even though her stomach felt tight.For weeks, she had imagined this moment.She had pictured Maya smiling.She had pictured Damon thanking her.She had pictured the whole family believing her secret disappearances had been innocent.Now the moment had arrived.Rachel returned carrying several wrapped boxes.Ethan immediately stood to help her.“There are too many.”Rachel laughed.“I told you it was a surprise.”She placed the boxes beneath the Christmas tree.Everyone gathered around.Rachel looked at their faces.Maya was smiling.Damon stood beside her with one hand resting protectively on her shoulder.The sight irritated Rachel more than she wanted to admit.She forced herself
Married to my Ex's Billionaire Father Chapter 126: Christmas Eve
Christmas Eve arrived quietly.By late afternoon, Bennett House was glowing with lights.The Christmas tree stood proudly in the sitting room, covered with gold and red ornaments. Garlands decorated the staircase, candles flickered along the windowsills, and the smell of roasted food drifted from the kitchen.Maya stood at the bottom of the stairs and looked around.For a moment, she said nothing.Damon noticed.“What is it?”She smiled.“Nothing.”He came closer.“You're doing that thing again.”“What thing?”“Looking at everyone like you're trying to memorize the moment.”Maya's eyes filled with tears.“Maybe I am.”Damon took her hand.“You okay?”She nodded.“I'm just happy.”He squeezed her fingers.“You deserve to be.”Across the room, Ethan was struggling with a tray of drinks.Lily watched him.“Careful.”“I've got it.”“You said that yesterday.”“And nothing happened.”“You dropped six glasses.”“That was yesterday.”Maya laughed.Ethan looked over.“Don't encourage her.”Dam

Rachel waited until everyone had settled into their routines before beginning the next stage of her Christmas preparations.The house had become easier to navigate since Maya's recovery.Damon spent more time in his study.Maya was allowed to move around the house again, although Lily still kept a close eye on her.Ethan had returned to his usual work.It gave Rachel exactly what she needed.Privacy.She carried a small notebook into the kitchen and placed it beside her cup of tea.Inside were names, numbers, times, and a list of things still needed for the Christmas surprise.She checked each item carefully.The decorations had been arranged.The photographs had been collected.The special dinner had been confirmed.Only the final arrangements remained.Rachel picked up her regular phone and stepped toward the back door.Before leaving, she glanced around.Nobody was watching.She walked into the garden.Once she was far enough from the house, she made a call.“Hello?”“Yes, it's Rac

Damon stood in front of his study window, phone pressed against his ear.“Yes, send the revised figures before lunch.”He listened for a moment.“No. Move the meeting to tomorrow.”Another pause.“I'll be there.”He ended the call and placed the phone on his desk.For the first time in weeks, work had begun demanding his attention again.A stack of documents waited in front of him. Several emails needed responses. There were contracts he needed to review and a meeting he had already postponed twice.Damon picked up the first document.Then he looked at the clock.His thoughts immediately went to Maya.Was she resting?Had she eaten?Was she still feeling strong?Was Lily nearby?He reached for his phone.His thumb hovered over Maya's name.Then he stopped.Maya was downstairs.She was walking again.She had eaten breakfast without any problems.She had even laughed at him when he followed her around the garden.Damon smiled.He had promised himself he would try

The question came up during breakfast.It was Ethan who brought it up.“Where have you been disappearing to lately, Mom?”Rachel looked up from her coffee.Maya glanced at her.Damon remained quiet.Lily continued eating, but her eyes moved briefly toward Rachel.Rachel smiled.“Why do you ask?”“Because every time I look for you, you're gone.”Ethan leaned back in his chair.“You've been doing it for weeks.”Rachel laughed softly.“I didn't realize everyone was keeping track of me.”Damon raised an eyebrow.“You made yourself suspicious.”Rachel looked at him.“Suspicious?”“You disappear without explaining where you're going.”Maya lowered her eyes.She remembered their earlier conversation.Rachel's distress.The hesitation.The way she had looked when Maya asked what she had done.For a moment, Maya wondered whether Damon was right.Rachel placed her cup down.“Fine.”Everyone looked at her.“I've been planning something.”Ethan frowned.“What?”Rach
