After Divorce Billionaire Ex Found Me Pregnant

He Finally Found Her!

"Leonica, is that you?" Christian asked, his tone and expression filled with disbelief as he took a step forward.

The said female nearly shrank back at the sight of one of Gabriel's closest friends. She had not expected to run into him here, as a matter of fact, she had not expected to run into him at all. This was bad, she thought as he her on Ashely who was now sound asleep, tightened.

Maybe she could wriggle her way out of this..

"I'm sorry,

but I think you've mistaken me for someone else." She quickly dismissed him. "I'm not quiet sure I know who you are." With that, she turned and continued heading for the door.

Christian however, did not relent and rushed after her.

"It's me Leonica, Christian, Gabriel's friend."

'Of course I know that.' Leonica thought, increasing her pace.

She couldn't understand why the man was insisting on talking to her, or rather, she couldn't understand why the universe was working against her.

"You're not gonna believe me if I say I don't know who you are, are you?" Leonica asked, trying to remain polite.

"Nope, sorry." Christian answered and Leonica sighed.

"I'm sorry, but I'm kinda in a hurry right now, so could we do this some other time, perhaps?" She asked, her fingers crossing as she prayed the male would. agree.

Unfortunately, luck was not on her side, again.

"It'll be fast, I promise." Christian reassured.

Leonica could only sigh. "Alright."

The male smiled, "Thank you."

After that, he paused, his gaze drifting down to the child in her arms. He could only see the back of Ashely who was peacefully sleeping in his mother's arms.

"Who is he?" He asked. Leonica followed his gaze and her visage tensed. Sensing this, Christian tentatively asked. "Is he...by any chance yours and Gabriel's...?"

"No!" Leonica quickly interrupted him before he could finish. "No. He's uh, my...godson. His mother, a close relative on mine was busy so I'm just filling in for her." She added after calming down from her alarmed state. Christian blinked, a bit surprised at the speed of her reply.

"I see," He replied, although not quite convinced but not choosing to pry further either. Changing the topic, he asked. "How have you been this past few years?"
