After Divorce Billionaire Ex Found Me Pregnant

As if seeing her expression and knowing exactly who she was thinking about, Arvan asked. "So how is Gabriel doing?"

"He's... He's good. "Leonica was quick to answer, only to sigh a second later.

"But?" Arvan pressed on, encouraging her to let out her frustrations, only to feel disappointed when she shook her head, clearly Insisting on keeping whatever struggle she was facing to herself.

"If you say so," He muttered, voice just low enough to hide the disappointment that had temporarily washed over him.

"She looks tired.' He thought as he watched her respond to the message which h silently groaned and rolled her eyes.

he was sure had come from her assistant, seeing as she

She loved work, but hated it, along with fish, deep water and reading for long periods of time.

At least that's what she had told him throughout their discussions in the past and that was what he committed into his memory.

Why did he commit all that into his memory? Like the answer wasn't already clear.

He was attracted towards her, not because she was a fellow single parent or because she was the type of woman a man wanted or because of the uncanny resemblance she had to Irene, but because she was Leonica.

The woman who loves beaches, but feared deep waters. Hated reading for long periods of time but craved to have a book written by her and have fan signs. Hated work but wanted to make sure her father's company, the company which had now been passed into her, excelled more than anything.

She is the type of woman who had the most beautiful smile and the most mesmerizing voice, along with the most beautiful personality. That was who she was and that was why he felt that undeniable attraction towards her.

And although, she had made it clear, gesture and situation wise, that she wasn't interested in being in a relationship and neither was she interested in starting a new relationship, he didn't care.

He'd wait, as long as she needed, as long as she'd have him waiting, and then, he'd properly court her.

But for now, he was more than content to be a friend.

"Well," She spoke, pulling him out of his reverie. "I should get going The company is waiting and my assistant has sent m thousand messages, asking me to return. I have to interview a new employee today." She added, me like a

"Anyway," He said, deciding to end the conversation right then and there, before it even started. "I hope to hear from you again soon, maybe when we're all free, we could have dinner or something "He offered, pushing his luck more than knew he should tronica blinked a couple of times, trying to comprehend his words and when it was clear that she had, a small tired smile graced her features, and she nodded. "That sounds nice,"

"See ya, Leonica." He waved her goodbye, and turned around, walking back to his car and watching as the door was pulled open by his

driver.

He paused to wave at her one last time before entering. The driver, after closing the door, bowed at her before settling into the driver's seat and driving away.

And once the black Chevrolet disappeared, Leonica sighed, rubbing the bridge of her nose and making her way back into her car.

She was exhausted.

Her emotions were a mess, her thoughts were all over the place and her heart felt heavy.

Part of it had to do with Gabriel, he was always a menace in her life that it no longer surprised her at this point. The other half of it had to do with the fact that for some reason, she left like she was leading Arvan on, She wasn't blind. His attraction towards her was clear.

He was a wonderful man, handsome and all, but Leonica just wasn't ready for romance.

Not now at least. But what was it that Anastasia had told her a few days ago in her office after seeing the gifts Arvan had sent?

Something about it never hurting to keep her options open?
