My Coldhearted Ex demands a Remarriage by Eva Blackwood

Chapter 527:

For a moment, Daxton’s usually composed demeanor gave way to surprise. His eyes widened, and without a second’s hesitation, he pushed open the car door. “Where are you headed? Let me give you a ride. It’s not safe for you to be out alone—especially now.”

Carrie considered his offer, and though part of her hesitated, she couldn’t deny the convenience. She climbed into the car, settling into the seat beside him.

Daxton immediately handed her a small cushion. “Here, for your back,” he said, his tone almost instinctive. “Do you know yet if it’s a boy or a girl?”

Daxton’s expression softened as he watched her. “You’ll be a wonderful mother,” he said with quiet conviction.
