After Divorce Billionaire Ex Found Me Pregnant

Leonica's eyes narrowed at his words. "Kennedy? Get to work would you. She dismissed with a were of her hand.

Kennedy chuckled at her and walked out of the office, carrying his tablet along. However, less than a minute hadn't passed when he stuck his head into her office again. "We can discuss it over a hot cup of coffee, Ms, what do you say?" Leonica smiled. "Kennedy, get back to work or else you won't even have a work to slack off from."

Kennedy feigned surprise, chuckled and then left. But as quickly as he had disappeared and closed her office door, it had opened again. Leonica was about to explode at him for his sudden nature to gossip, but when she looked up, she was surprised to see the person standing there wasn't Kennedy but Leonardo.

"I flew halfway across the globe because you called sounding desperate and the situation did indeed look desperate, but looking at things now, it's safe to say you've handled it perfectly with your charms. So why bother myself? Leonardo teased as he walked closer to her table and opened his arms for a bug when she stood up.

Leonica gladly accepted the hug from her adoptive brother, squeezing him tight. Although they were not siblings by blood, Leonardo was still someone she relied on as much as she had done with her real brother. He had treated her like a real sister as well, always being there for her in time of need. And without even knowing it, he had saved her life like that

A

few more seconds of heartfelt hugging went by before Leonica pulled back, smiling broadly, "You said your research didn't conclude until tomorrow." "Well, what can I say, my family is more important that scrap knowledge can always pick up from where I left off." He said and gently patted her head. He looked around once again, spotting the gifts and recalling the press videos he had seen. "But, it seems like you've got everything covered over here. Was there really any need for me to come all the way here?" He teased. Leonica playfully swatted his arm. "Of course there is." She sank down into her chair after rounding the table and Leonardo sat across from her. "Things may seem fine now, but in the future I'll be putting one third of my energy into the IVF procedure and things may get stressful with the company. That's when you come in."

"So what, I'm gonna be like what, second in command?" Leonardo joked and watched as his sister laughed and nodded her head. But he could only bring himself to smile.

When Leonica noticed his distressed demeanor, she asked. "What's wrong?

He hesitated, "I'm sorry for missing your call, Leonica. I was in the mountains and they had no signals and the call couldn't go through. But that's still no excuse for me not being here for Ashley when he got into the accident. I'm sorry."

"Whoa whoa whoa, there's no need for you to be apologizing, Leonardo. It wasn't your fault and I know you're going to say 'I should never have gone o that dumb research trip maybe then I could have been there for him, but don't you dare. I won't permit it because that trip is your dream, Leonardo. You've scarified so much for this family since Melvin left, too much if you asked me and your dream isn't going to be one of the things you'll sacrifice, alright?" Alright." He forced a smile and Leonica returned the gesture, except hers was more genuine

With that matter out of the way, they both eased up a bit and discussed Leonardo's coming back to the company. She had saved Rodrigo's former spot on the board for him in case something like this ever occurred.

In the middle of their discussion, Leonica's phone began to ring. She placed their conversation on a hold briefly and answered the call after confirming it was from Doctor Bailey.

"Doxtor Bailey, Hello." "The greeted as soon as she pressed the phone against her ear.
