After Divorce Billionaire Ex Found Me Pregnant

Signing, Anastasia was about to easily give into Leonica's face when her attention was diverted by a small figure barreling down in her direction.

"Aunty Annie look!" Ashely exclaimed happily as he stopped in front of Anastasia and held up the golden crispy croissant he had gotten from the pastry section. "The cook said I could have this."

Anastasia's mood visibly brightened at the sight of the younger boy. Reaching down, she patted his head.

"That's nice." She said, a warm smile on her lips. "You should thank him for it. Did you do that?" She asked. Ashely shook his head.

"Well then, why don't you go thank the cook, huh?"

Ashely nodded his head, his blonde locks bouncing. "Okay!" He chirped and was about to head off when he remembered something and quickly turned around. "Oh mommy, can I also get a glass of orange juice?"

"Sure sweetheart," Leonica replied, reaching into her bag for her purse and later handing him

a five dollar bill.

"Thanks mommy," Ashely thanked, his eyes sparkling with excitement as he headed for the pastry section once again, leaving Anastasia and Leonica alone.

o to the

Anastasia watched as the child ran pastry section, conversing with the cook. A few seconds of silence had gone by before she peeled her gaze away from Ashely's figure and looked at Leonica, who upon sensing her stare, looked her way with a smile.

The former pressed her lips into a thin line. She had so much question to ask her best friend. after seeing her after five years, and one question in particular was nagging at her to be asked.

Gabriel was the father of Ashely, wasn't he?

Although it was a given, seeing as the child took more of his features than Leonica's. It was like he was a mini molded version of Gabriel, save for the blonde locks.

Leonica's hair had always been blonde during her childhood, it was no wonder Ashely would

inherit the color.

And the eyes...they were grey and sharp just like Gabriel's, there was no doubt about that. However, even if all the clues were pointing in that direction, Anastasia couldn't bring herself to directly ask Leonica that question.

She didn't want to risk reopening her friend's wounds for something as trivial as curiosity.

Sighing, she settled on a different question. "Just for clarity sake, that Child doesn't have a godmother yet, does he?"

"He doesn't." Leonica answered.

Anastasia smiled. "Then does that mean I get to be his godmother?" She asked, however before Leonica could respond, she added. "Before you even think of saying no, don't forget the promise we made in college." "And what is that?" Leonica asked, her head tilted and feigning confusion.

Anastasia's expression darkened.

"That if any of us were to have a child, the other person would become the godmother or godfather."

Leonica paused, pretending to try and recall the memory.

"That sounds so familiar," she said and Anastasia rolled her eyes.

"Leonica, you best remember, else..." She warned.

"Alright, alright. You can be his godmother." Leonica laughed, holding her hand up in defeat.

"Good." Anastasia grinned in triumph, soon joining the laugh with Leonica.

After their laughter died down, Anastasia's face grew serious as a memory flashed in her mind and she clicked her tongue in distaste.

Even during their college days, Leonica had been part of Gabriel's fan girls, loving him longer than most of the girls that were currently vying for his attention.
