"What do you want?" Leonica went straight to the point, but aside whatever act of pleasant greeting the snake wanted to do.

Seeing this and sensing the amount of hostility radiating off the older female, Angelina's smile flattened without another second to spare. "Straight to business, I see," She moused. "Well, who am I to delay then."

Leaning forward, hands resting on the table as some kind of pillar support, Angelina trained her gaze on Leonica and asked. "Say, how would you like to know what I said to Gabriel five years ago that made him ask for a divorce, hm?" Checkmate.

"What?" Leonica's face was the mirror of her emotions.

Confused, utterly confused, yet curious

What had Angelina said to Gabriel five years ago that caused their divorce? That was an answer she had thought of...craved for the first two years of her being in Colorado. But as time went on, it was safe to say she began to move on, meeting new people and making new memories. Memories that overshadowed the painful ones she no longer wanted to remember.

Thankfully, after three years of living in Colorado, warmly welcomed by her new neighborhood, Leonica stopped craving answers to that one question that haunted her. And soon, she completely forgot it.

That was until today.

"Do I want to know?" She uttered, watching as Angelina nodded her head, brunette ponytail bouncing around at the gesture. Unsurprisingly, her past self would have jumped at the opportunity. But currently as she is, that answer no longer mattered to her. The past is the past and she refused to continue living in it.

Shaking her head, she answered. "No, I don't."

Angelina's smile Laded in an instant. Ye another response she had not planned for. "What?"

"I said no. I'm done living in the past Angelina. And you should do the same."

Immediately after her words, Angelina barked a loud laugh. "Hall Look at the hypocrite talk." "Pardon?"

***Done living in the past,' you say? If you were so sure, then why did you keep Ashley? Isn't he a part of the past you'd wish to forget?" "What?" Leonica asked once more, this time however, with a tinge of irritancy in her webce. Angelina flashed a crocked smile at this and probed on. "You heard me. That child of yours, he's a past mistake, isn't he? So why keep him? Why not spare all of us the trouble and.." She snapped her finger.

Get rid of him-

"Angelina!" Leonica slammed her palm against the table, the loud noise instantly shutting the chattering female up. Thankfully there was no one other than the servers present to witness the situation. "Watch your tongue," She warmed "After all, just like me, you too are about to become a mother. You wouldn't want any harm to befall your little one, now, would you?"
