Gabriel nodded his head and sighed, sinking into his chair when Lloyd and Christian sat down. "Pretty much, yeah." He answered. "What about your career?" Christian questioned.
Gabriel shrugged his shoulders. "Nothing has changed. I'm still the owner of the company and still the same CEO." He told them, earning a hum from the two
"Alright, I guess that's a good start. I'll try and get a few people from your company to help you out a bit, you know, catch you up with what's been happening. We'll also need to get a statement released to the public. You lonow how the media is and whatnot." "Yeah, about that..." Gabriel sighed. "Can't we just, you know, keep this under wraps until I recover my memories. I'd hate to be the talk of the town for a while, you know."
Lloyd and Christian shared a look, not missing the fact that their friend had stated that he wanted to recover memories.
"Alright," Lloyd said, nodding his head. "But, only because I can relate to the pain of being the hot topic."
"Thanks," Gabriel smiled, but his smile was quick to fade seconds later as he asked. "Do you... Mind telling me?"
"Huh?" Both his friends hummed.
"What lead to Leonica and I's divorce?" He asked.
Lloyd and Christian exchanged looks once again, both knowing the truth, but wondering if it was a good idea to tell Gabriel all about Angelina
Thankfully, before they could debate any longer on the issue, there was a knock on the door and it soon slid open.
All three of them watched as Leonica stepped in. She looked surprised to see Lloyd and Christian at first but she soon placed a smile on her lips, waving gently at them. y." She greeted.
"Hi," They all said in unison and noticed that instead of moving further into the room, she stayed by the door, hand behind her. "What you got behind you?" Lloyd was the first to ask." At his question, Leonica gently tugged on the person behind her and Ashley stepped out from behind her.
Gabriel's eyes widened at the sight of the kid. He looked so much prettier and loveable in person.
"Oh wow. He muttered.
"Hello," Ashley greeted both his uncles and walked further into the room, approaching the man in question that is his father, only when standing directly in front of him did he gently wave. "Hi, Gabriel said.
"Hi Daddy, My name is Ashley." He introduced nicely with a bright and friendly smile. "Mommy told me all about what happened. 1 am going to try and make new memories with you."
Gabriel's heart skipped a beat at his words. His smile was so contagious that he felt his own lips curving upwards. "Sounds like a plan" He agreed, and reached forward, at first he hesitated, but after seeing Ashley's expectant gaze, he ruffled the boy's hair affectionately. "Alright, this is getting a little too sentimental for me," Lloyd said as he rose from his seat and grabbed Christian's wrist. "Let's leave the three of them alone, shall we?"
Christian rolled his eyes. "Don't pull me, I'm going." He grumbled and pulled his wrist free from Lloyd's grasp.
Lloyd pouted at the action, but his pout was soon replaced by a smile. "We'll check up on you later, Gabe." He said and followed Christian out of the room, leaving the three of them.
Once they were alone, Gabriel glanced at Leonica and asked. "Did you have lunch yet?"
Leonica besitated, but after a few seconds of silence, she shook her head and watched as Gabriel smiled.
"You're in luck, the hospital prepares meals unlike any other." Saying this, he stood up from the chair, taking Ashley's hand in his. The child giggled fondly at the action. "Come on, let's have a meal and talk over a few things."

Between the constant glances that were being thrown their way as other hospital patients walked by and the sound of Ashley chattering away with Gabriel, informing him of all the things that had happened both in Denver and here, Oslo, Leonica found it hard to focus on the meal which they had actually come here to have
and then, mommy got me Betty," Ashley said, showing his father the doll he always carried around. Gabriel bummed in an understanding tone, nodding his head as he took a bite from his burger.
Strange, Leonica thought as she had glanced at him in the middle of taking said bite from his beef burger. The Gabriel she knew was far too stuck up to even have a bite from a veggie burger, talk less a beef burger.
Then again, she shook her head, briefly reminding herself that the Gabriel seating in front of her wasn't the stuck up stole man he had been a leve weeks ago.
"Everything okay?" Gabriel asked after noticing her somewhat weird behavior.
and a breath in rather harshly when she saw him staring intently at her, dark eyes scanning her face. "Y-yes." She somehow uttered, Closing her eyes, she briefly cursed herself, then forced a smile on her lips. "I'm fine." Whether or not she was lying, Gabriel didn't have enough time to figure that out as the hospital's residential waiter in the cafeteria approached them.
"Hello Mr. Bryce." He greeted with a bow, then turned towards Leonica, flashing her a smile that went perfectly with his attractive walter looks, one that Gabriel quickly realized he wasn't too tond of "Milady, hope you enjoyed the meal?"
"I did." Leonica answered honestly, because as a matter of fact, she had indeed enjoyed the meal, safe for the occasional and choking state's people gave the family of three, the taste had been delightful. Almost as good as her cooking, if she must say.
"Glad to here that," The waiter said, flashing another smile, one which Gabriel couldn't help but roll his eyes at. Leonica didn't miss the gesture and shoot him a questioning look to which he ignored. "How about you, little one?"
When Ashley was asked, his demeanor seemed to steamer down temporarily and the energetic boy from once before suddenly disappeared. "It was good, but I didn't like the veggies. They were overcooked," he admitted cautiously. "Momany lanows how to cook better." He added in, of course not missing a moment to show his mother off.
The waiter clearly didn't expect his answer and Gabriel quietly chuckled at his stunned expression. "My apologies, I'll be sure to lecture the cook a handful."
