After Divorce Billionaire Ex Found Me Pregnant

It was obvious, in this case, to her alone, that Gabriel was pulling one of his usual tricks. Trying to play the role of a sweet asshole in hopes to jump ħla responsibility towards Angelina's pregnancy. "Ha, you don't ever change, do you Gabriel?" Pulling her hand free, this time she pulled away with much force than she had previously done, intending to show how much his tricks irritated her. And her message was well gotten, well, halfway gotten. Gabriel understood the fact that she was angry at him, but he didn't know what made her angry at him

Left for him, some part of his mind had been singing with one tiny little voice, trying to convince him that Leonica would be glad in the tiniest bit to bear the news.

But she wasn't. She didn't look the least hit pleased, instead she looked somewhat... disgusted?

"You're still the same as you were five years ago. You only ever keep people around when you need them, however, the moment you no longer need them, they became useless to you." "What the hell are you talking about?"

"Do you really need to ask? I'm damn sure you know what I'm tallding about." Leonica retorted, sighing at the end as she attempted to keep her temper from spilling over.

Not here. Not now, and certainly not for him. Gabriel Bryce wasn't worth a drop of her spit.

"You can pretend for all you want; I don't really care." She shrugged. "And I don't really care whose child Angelina was carrying, never mattered to me before and wouldn't matter to me now." She gave him one final explanation before turning to leave but recalling one last thing she needed to say to him. "Oh, and do yourself some good; don't get any ridiculous idea into that head of yours. My visit here was only to make sure Angelian wasn't well, dead So don't go thinking I came all the way here because I've got some ridiculous obsession with you. It'd be a shame for a mm such as yourself to entertain such..deplorable thoughts, alright?"

Completing the last of her words, she flashed him that same, cold and indifferent smile that never quite reached her eyes and turned around w walking away and never for once looking back.

Now, Gabriel would be a damn lair if he said her words hadn't stunned him. And he also would be a liar if he says for a second, he could have ignored the look of disgust swirling in Leonica's eyes.

He couldn't And for the first ever time, a thought crossed his mind.

"Was he really that much of an asshole?"

Mind preoccupied by his thoughts, Gabriel failed to hear the approaching footsteps, and only when the dumpling locking youngster was in front of him, waving her hand and calling his name, did he snap out of his trans like Isaze. Mr. Bryce, can you hear me?"

Blinking a few times, be recognized the female in front of him was none other than Angelina's apeut. Riley Grant

"Riley," He finally acknowledged the girl's present, resulting in an Innocent beam akin to Angelina's own

However, knowing the type of persen Angelina now was, Gabriel wondered if it was alright to loep a truly pure soul like Riles around bet.

The answer to that question came as quickly as the question itself had conse, convincing Gabriel that the steps he was about to take were the right ones. "Hello Mr. Bryce, Are you by any chance here to see Ms. Fernandez?" Riley questioned. "Yes. I assume you're also here to do the same

"Comet!" Riley shot a handgun at him.

Nodding his head, Gabriel suggested. "Well, let's go together."

Of course, Mr. Bryce After you. She pointed her open palm in the direction of Angelina's mon

Gabriel turned around, journeying down in the directions, Riley beside him, for only a few minutes before they stumbled upon the familiar door.

One knock on the door and he slid it open, palckly locating Angelina beside the trash bin, trashing the fruit basket Leonica had brought for her. unbeknownst to Gabriel's knowledge.

The moment Angelina saw Gabriel, her expression became meek, demeanor returning to the lily lower she had portrayed as her public image. "Gabe, you came." She smiled innocently at him.

"Hello Ms. Fernander," Riley bowed her head, brown bungee curls following her movement. "L. I brought you a fruit basket." The female raised the assortment of filts, which Gabriel only just now realized she had been carrying. "Oh, Hello Riley," Angelina smiled at her agent.

Less honestly, Gabriel could instantly tell.
