The CEO’s Ex-Wife Is A Famous Doctor By LiLhyz Chapter 125: Gender Reveal
“Mommy, I wish I could come with you. I want to see my brothers!” Lucas said while chasing after Shantelle and Evan in the driveway. The young man heard it was the day to learn the twins’ gender.
“I’m sorry, honey, but you know kids aren’t allowed in the hospital, even before you got sick,” Shantelle said to Lucas. He pecked his cheek and suggested, “But don’t you have a video call with Lily later? She must be looking forward to that.”
Since it was a weekend, Lucas and Lily would have longer chat hours. It was always something Lucas looked forward to every day.
“Oh, right! Then, I’m not sad anymore!” Lucas said.
“And guess who is coming to play with you today?” Evan asked, his eyes briefly wandering the massive lawn of their new mansion.
It had been two weeks since they moved into their new home. Lucas enjoyed it, but having Miguel as his constant physical playmate wasn’t enough. Only Lily kept Lucas from declaring complete boredom, staying in such a big house and being the only child.
“I’ll have a playmate?” Lucas asked.
“Your uncle Keith and Aunt Karise will visit you. They should be here in a few minutes,” Evan revealed. He ran his fingers through Lucas’ hair and announced, “And they have gifts for you.”
“I miss Uncle Keith!” Lucas declared. He turned to Shantelle and said, ” Okay, Mommy. I’m okay now. Don’t worry. Don’t forget to show me a video of the babies. I want to show them to Lily!”
After saying goodbye to Lucas, the couple rode in the car, with Andy driving them to the hospital. As they were on the road, Evan asked, “What do you think they will be? A girl? Or a girl?”
“What? You want a girl?” Shantelle asked, surprised.
“I want Princess Shantys,” Evan happily replied.
“Girls would really be nice. A boy can be really too energetic, at least with my experience with Lucas,” Shantelle described. With a hand on her chest, she added, “But as long as they are ours, Evan, they will bring us so much joy, regardless of their gender.”
“You are right, Wifey.” While putting an arm around Shantelle’s shoulder, he declared, “This time, I won’t miss a single milestone.”

“They are moving a lot,” Evan remarked, seeing the ultrasound at nineteen weeks. As he put his hand on his chest, Evan could not control his smile. He said, “I never thought I’d feel this emotion. It’s so beautiful, watching life inside your womb, Shanty.”
Evan held Shantelle’s hand and said, “I’m glad I came.”
It brought tears to his eyes, seeing the twins’ form. Through the 3D ultrasound, he saw their faces, noses, lips, and fingers appear in perfect shape. He was especially delighted at how their limbs moved.
Lying on the hospital bed, Shantelle was equally in tears, observing the screen. All thanks to the pineapple tarts, the twins were very active that day.
One of the twins was holding his legs, and Evan could clearly see the boy’s sex. Seeing a penis dangling between, Evan sucked in a breath and announced, “I wanted girls, but clearly, this little guy is a boy!”
Evan was happy regardless, especially since Lucas wanted a brother. He claimed, “The next will definitely be a girl. If not, I’ll just keep working on it.”
Shantelle smacked him on the arm, warning him, “Let me give birth first, Evan! Stop thinking about having another one!”
“His heartbeat is great, too,” the doctor complimented. “Shall we go to the next baby?”
“Yes,” Evan and Shantelle said at the same time.
It took longer to identify the next baby’s gender. The second baby mainly showed the back and legs were clamped together. The doctor had to navigate the ultrasound probe, sometimes tickling the second twin with the same probe. After some time, eventually, the baby gave in.
Shantelle’s eyes widened, and Evan’s mouth fell open.
“Congratulations!” The doctor announced. “It’s a -” 2

The following weekend, the couple hosted a small gathering at their new home, inviting close friends and family. They meant to announce the twins’ gender.
Evan’s close friends were there, including James, his assistant. The Thompsons were also present, eager for the gender revelation. Shantelle invited Karise, and of course, her parents were present too.
The entire party had a picnic lunch on the massive lawn. When the main dishes were done, Mrs. Shaw and Miguel brought out trays of cupcakes. They were distributed to each guest.
“So, depending on the color of your cupcake filling, that will indicate the baby’s gender,” Shantelle announced while waiting for everyone to have a piece.
“They will be boys, man. He’ll be part of the boys’ team!” Sean claimed, making everyone chuckle.
“I don’t know. I was pretty happy with Shanty,” William remarked and winked at Shantelle.
“Aww, Dad. Thank you,” Shantelle said. “I love you and Mom.”
Evan had his mouth zipped the entire time. He reminded his friends, “If they are boys, you know what to gift them. You must learn what to buy for special occasions if they are girls.”
Sean, Wendell, and Keith laughed. Evan was the most affluent man in the city, but he was also adamant about taking advantage of his friend’s wealth. Fortunately for Evan, his friends didn’t mind knowing how Evan would give back when it was their turn to have kids.
“Does everyone have a cupcake?” Shantelle asked.
“I have!” Mrs. Shaw said, raising two cupcakes.
“And I have too!” Miguel held a tray of cupcakes, saying, “I’m betting all these have blue fillings.”
“No! I want a girl!” Evan’s mother declared. “It’s going to be pink!”
“I want a girl too,” Erick said. “Evan was a handful, young baby.”
Giggles could be heard around them. Lucas was also laughing at how his grandfather described Evan. Lucas was the last to say, “I want brothers!”
“Okay, then! Let’s take a bite, shall we?” Shantelle said.
“On the count of three, everyone,” Evan proposed, raising his own piece of the white frosted cupcakes. “Three, two, one!”
Each of them had a bite. Evan and Shantelle also took a bite, but instead of checking the filling, they observed their family’s and friends’ reactions.
“It’s a boy!” Lucas exclaimed, showing off his blue-filled cupcake.
“No! It’s a girl!” Karise said, flaunting her cupcake. “I have a pink filling.”
“I have pink filling too. It tastes great,” Sean remarked.
“I have blue,” Keith said, looking back at his cupcake and comparing it to Karise’s.
“Mine is blue too,” Wendell revealed.
“I have pink!” Clara announced.
“I have pink too!” Eleanor announced.
Lucas looked at his cupcake and his mother’s cupcake. Seeing the difference in filling color, he sought, “Two fillings? So it’s both?”
“Wait!” James, Evan’s assistant, caught everyone’s attention. He questioned, “So it’s a girl and a boy?”
They all stared at the couple while Evan and Shantelle nodded simultaneously. Evan said, “I’ll have my princess!”
“And Lucas gets his brother!” Shantelle revealed.
“I love it!” Clara exclaimed. She and Eleanor clasped hands, cheering for when they could play doll with a princess.
“Ahhh!” Karise screamed. “I’m so happy for you, Shanty! You’ll have a princess to look after!”
Karise approached and embraced Shantelle tightly and said, “I’m so happy for you, Evan and Lucas.” Then, she whispered, “And I’m so jealous.”
“Now, guys. Since you know our babies’ gender, please be ready with your gifts. We will have a baby shower when she reaches eight months,” Evan suggested. “Your gifts must be no less than two thousand dollars!” Content is property of NôvelDrama.Org.
Everyone laughed. Out of nowhere, Keith challenged, “When Karise and I have ours, I’m going to ask for a payback, Evan! You’ll need to give our child a five-thousand-dollar gift!”
While Karise turned tomato red, Evan and his friends stilled. On the other hand, Shantelle’s eyes widened in shock. No one knew how seriously
Karise and Keith had gone deep with their relationship, to the point that they were planning to have a child together.
After seconds of dead air, Shantelle broke the silence, saying, “I’m looking forward to it!”
“Yeah,” Evan claimed. “Tell you what, Keith, if you and Karise have a child together, I’ll buy him a car outright!”

Following the sweet revelation of the babies’ genders, Evan and his friends gathered on the patio to catch up. Shantelle and Karise also had their own table where they could chat.
While the boys talked about the current financial status of Rose Hills, Shantelle covered her friend’s romantic life. She asked Karise, “So, how is it living with Keith?”
Karise smiled and answered, “It’s been wonderful – so wonderful that it scares me if it’s true.” She leaned closer to Shantelle, whispering, “I think he is serious about the baby. And while I love the idea, I
still don’t know if it’s best, considering how early we are in the relationship. He is not controlling at all. I’m kinda worried, but at the same time, I don’t mind having such a good-looking guy as a sperm donor.”
Shantelle laughed. She commented, “The great-looking guy is your boyfriend, Karise. He isn’t just a sperm donor. You should talk to him about it.”
“Did he say what would happen if you got pregnant?” Shantelle asked.
“He just said the usual.” Quoting with her fingers, Karise simulated how Keith would say it. ‘Til take care of you and the baby, of course.”
“I don’t know – I’m scared to ask, but either way, I’d be happy to have a child. I’m the only one in our group with no child. I’d really like to experience that,” Karise said.
“Yes, but Karise, bringing a baby into this world without clarity if he or she will have a father will affect the child’s confidence. You know this about Lucas. The child will always crave a father’s love,” Shantelle pointed out.” Have that talk with Keith.”
Karise pursed her lips, thinking. After some time, she replied, “I’ll have that talk with him soon.”
Later, a car entered the estate. The vehicle was visible from the patio, alerting everybody. Keith said, “Aha! My surprise for you all has arrived!
