After Divorce Billionaire Ex Found Me Pregnant

Wanting Her Back.

"Just go home, please."

Seated in front of her room vanity mirror, Gabriel's words replayed in Leonica's head like a haunting tape.

For some reason, she couldn't get it out of her head. Perhaps it had been his tone? Or the anger that she had expected to come, more than prepared herself to receive, but never did? Or perhaps was it the expression on his face? De all there of them?

Whichever it was, it haunted her mind over and over again, throughout the entire freaking day.

Heaving a sigh, she pulled off the last of her jewelry and looked in the mirror just in time to see Ashley poking his head through the threshold of her door. "Mommy?" He called out in a small voice, testing his mother's mood as he had stood by her door for nearly ten minutes, observing as her mood deteriorated every now and now, and only ever growing the guts to call out to her when he felt his eye lids getting really howy.

Putting on her best smile to mask her inner troubles, Leonica turned around in her chair. "Hey honey, what is it?" She asked, beckoning him over with

open arms.

Ashley wasted no time in rushing towards her and soon settling in her lap. When his hands were firmly wrapped around her neck, black bunny stuffy placed in between them, he answered.

"Can I sleep with you tonight mommy. I don't want to sleep alone,"

Leonica chuckled at his cute action. Slowly, her hand went up and gently stroked the back of his head. "Of course, you can." She answered.

"Beally?" Ashley asked with a growing smile.

"Really," Leonica responded with a smile of her own before she stood up, carrying the child in her arms until they were close to her bed,

Only then did she place him down on the cushion and tuck him underneath the blanket.

"Do you want me to read you a story?" she asked

Ashley lazily shook his head, declining the offer since he was already far too sleepy.

"Alright," Leaning down, she gently pecked her son's forehead. "Go to sleep now."

Ashley didn't need to be told twice. In a matter of seconds, he was already off to his dream world, soft snores reaching Leonica's ears. She chuckled softly after seeing his sleeping face, but the smile on her lips faded the instance she recalled what happened today. Unlike her, Angelina would never have the joy of watching her child sleep

Sad, Leonica thought as she gently got up from the bed and reached for her phone. She scrolled through her contact list for a few seconds before finding Gabriel's number and dialing it.

Sure, she may never have liked Angelina, not even once, but that didn't mean she was never going to call to check up

1 her.

As as she brands herself, she can never seat back and watch anyone suffer to the point of death, not even her enemy.

A few seconds, along with a few rings had passed before Gabriel finally picked up

"Leonica? What do you want?" His voice sounded raspy, making Leonica gap unintentionally.

She took one look at Ashley's sleeping form before moving some distance away, not wanting to disturb him. Then she asked. "Angelina, how is she?" At the other end, Gabriel chuckled. "You ask that now?"

"Was I not to?" Leonica fired back, already regretting her choice of calling to check up on the very same person who had tried to frame her.

Corse her good board!

"Let me ask you something?" Gabriel began, pausing for a few seconds to make sure she was on the same page as him, before he continued. "Did you, do

The vague question had Leonica's bees knitting. "Do what? She questioned

Silence settled on the other end for another few seconds, of which Leonica was able to assess that Gabriel was in a chib, probably drinking away his frustration once again
