After Divorce Billionaire Ex Found Me Pregnant

"So why didn't we?" He quizzed.

Leonica let out a sigh and glanced at her son. "It was important." She answered, hoping he wouldn't press the matter any further. "More important than me?" He questioned.

"Of course not," Leonica answered, shaking her head and leaning forward to stare at her son. "Never more important than you." Ather w words, Ashley looked away and downcast his eyes, a sign that he was upset.

"Hey," Leonica called, tilting his chin up to meet his gaze. "Don't think that. You're very important to me, more than anything, okay? It's just." She hesitated, glancing in the direction where Anastasia stood, sipping on her cup of coffee while giving her the nasty look. She offered an apologetic smile, both to her son and best friend. "I had to help Owen on something"

Ashley's entire expression brightened at the mention of the familiar name. "Owen? Is something wrong?" He asked.

"No, not at all. At least not something I can't handle." She told him and once again placed a kiss on his forehead.

"Mommy can handle everything?" Ashley tentatively asked.

"Yeah, I'm Larissa, aren't I?"

"Including daddy?" He quizzed, the smile fading.

Now, at his question, Leonica fell silent, unable to come up with a suitable answer.

When can I see daddy? You said we'll talk about it today."

"And that we would." Leonica said as she picked the child up and places him on her lap. "You see," She paused and briefly thought of a way to break things easily to him. "Daddy sustained serious injuries before he had been hospitalized..." The rest of her words trailed off as Ashley gasped as his eyes watered.

"Is daddy dead? Is that why you don't want me seeing him?"

"What? No, of course not, your daddy is alright. It's just... He had amnesia."

"Amnesia? What's that?" He asked, his head tilted to the side in confusion

"It's a condition in which the patient can't recall memories." She gently said and watched as her words soaked in before adding. "You daddy can't remember a lot of things."

"Including me?" The child asked after his mother's words has sung in

Leonica nodded her head. "Yes, but," She quickly added when she saw the tears gathering in his eyes. "He knows of you. In f a picture of us, from when you guys went gaming, remember that?" She asked. Ashley nodded his head.

"Yeah, well, daddy has a picture of us two, but doesn't have the memory of when it was taken. So he wants to meet you and try and create new memories."

"But what about his old memories? Doesn't he want them back?"

"That's up to him, Ash." Leonica told her child, who has suddenly gotten curious about the entire matter. "But, he still wants to see you. Do you want to see him?"
