After Divorce Billionaire Ex Found Me Pregnant

And it did.

Leonica's final words to him sank in the deepest, striking Gabriel's heart that was already occupied by the conflicted feelings, seeing Leonica after five years, had brought.

But one thing was clear, her transformation in the past five years, precisely, how indifferent she had began acting towards him, angered him. Yet, as he turned and watched her ascend the stage to give her speech, spot light shinning all around her, Gabriel couldn't help but feel mesmerized.

The Leonica he knew five years ago, would have never dared to talk back to him. She would have been so afraid, so broken, she wouldn't have the courage to stand up for herself, yet, here she was.

Her aura had completely changed and she wasn't the same woman he had married and divorced.

She had changed so much in five years.

During his trans like stare towards Leonica, Gabriel had failed to notice Angelina beside him, who had noticed his gaze on Leonica.

Seeing the way he stared at her, clearly affected by her glow up, like the other, Angelina felt irritated and clenched her fist, manicured nails nearly digging into the flesh of her palm.

The rest of the Banquet had gone by in a blur in Angelina's mind, the only thing she had been focusing on was Leonica who was clearly not bothered by her starè.

After some time, she had grown tired of the banquet and bade her prospective acquaintances goodbye before leaving the banquet. Immediately she was gone, Gabriel announced that they were also leaving.

Angelina tried not to think too much of it, but each time she recalled the way Gabriel had stared at Leonica's throughout the female's time on stage, the more she became aware of the situation.
