After Divorce Billionaire Ex Found Me Pregnant

"It's like this, Gabriel's going to start a new family soon, and each family needs a mommy and daddy, but if you join his family, you'll be getting a new mommy."

A new mommy? Ashely's eyes widened at the thought of leaving the woman who he had grown up with and called mother since day one for some other woman who he didn't even know half as well.

Swiftly, he wrapped his arms around her stomach and pulled closer, burying his face in her stomach.

"I don't want to have a new mommy," He protested, tightening his grip on Leonica to feel safe. "If I have to leave my mommy to have a daddy then... then, I don't want a daddy! I love my mommy and she's enough for me."

A feeling of guilt spread over Leonica's heart as she felt like she had manipulated Ashely, but hearing Ashely's words, the feeling was quickly flushed away and her heart melted from his

soft words.

Pulling him into a tighter hug, she kissed and caressed his hair. "I love you too, honey." She whispered however loud enough for Ashely to hear.

He chuckled and snuggled closer to his mother. Feeling his warmth and recalling his soft words convinced Leonica that she was doing the right thing.

Ashely was too young to experience the pain and hurt this world has in store for all and all she was doing, was simply protecting him. Protecting him from the world's cruel cards and his father's cruelty as well. But even when all those convincing thoughts roamed her mind, one particular questioned nagged at the back of her mind.

How long could she protect him from all that?

How long could she play his superman?

How long before he was snatched away from her?

"Never. She tightened her grip around her angel and pulled him closer, inhaling the one scent that seemed to calm her down during tough times like this.

She was never going to allow anyone take Ashely away from her, not the world's cruel cards and definitely not Gabriel.

Later that evening, Gabriel once again found himself at his regular suite in Club Parish. With the loud music blaring and the attendants being even louder, he stared blankly at the picture the stall owner had given to him earlier in the day. Staring at Ashely in the photo was almost as if he had been looking at his younger self from decades ago.

It was more than obvious what that meant.

"Hey dude!" Lloyd clapped the thinking male on the shoulder as he stepped into their regular suite, Christian following behind him.

Gabriel barely looked up from the picture to acknowledge them. It was almost as if he couldn't afford looking away from the picture in fear that what he was seeing would disappear.

"What's got you so down?" Lloyd questioned as he and Christian sank into their own chairs. When Gabriel didn't reply once more, he pointed out with a snort. "You look like some lovesick fool to me, dude. Are you okay?"

Ignoring Lloyd's question, Gabriel looked away from the picture and fixed his gaze on Christian, speaking for the first time since arriving at the club.

"Christian," He called the eldest attention, continuing when said make raised one of his brows. "From the perspective of a doctor, what are the requirements needed to confirm if a child is ones kid?"
