After Divorce Billionaire Ex Found Me Pregnant

"I should get going." Leonica said, taking her hand out of his grasp. "It's getting dark."

"Yeah, it is." Arvan agreed, his voice sounding a bit disappointed. "I'll be seeing you."

"See you." Leonica flashed him one last smile before walking off towards the direction of her car.

"Wait, I'll escort you." Arvan offered, catching up to her in no time.

Leonica didn't refuse him, after all, she wasn't one to deny a gentleman's offer.

"Your Ex is pretty." She commented.

"That's a cheesy way to compliment yourself, Leo." Arvan said and she chuckled at the nickname.

"So that's how it's gonna be from now on, huh?" She asked and Arvan laughed.

"I guess it is. I hope you don't mind."

"Not really." He said as they arrived at her car.

"I'll talk to you tomorrow." She said, looking up at him as he hovered by her door.

"Alright." He said. "Have a safe trip back."

"Thanks." She replied and Arvan nodded, shutting the door.

He remained standing by her car and waved until she drove off, then, with a sigh, he turned around and made his way back.

Leonica was on her way back home, currently stuck in traffic to be precise, when she got a phone call from Alistair.

"Yeah, hello?" She answered, placing the phone on speaker and focusing back on the road just as the light turned green. "Ms. Romero, I apologize for calling you all of a sudden but I need your help." Alistair spoke having urgency in his voice. ""What is it?"

"I'm a bit caught up in a board meeting, with, you know, that thing, and as things stand, the meeting looks like it's going to last another extra three to four hours, and the thing is, Owen's sick and no one's at home to take care of him." He explained.

"I see." She muttered, her brows furrowing in concern at his words.

"I wouldn't ask this of you Ms. Romero, but as things stand, there's no one else I can trust this much, so if you can, could you please-"

"Yes, of course." Leonica interrupted him before he could finish up. "Just send me the address."

Alistair released a relieved sigh from the other end. "I really owe you one, Ms. Romero. I'm gonna send the address now. The medicines are on the kitchen counter and I stored some porridge in the fridge, you can warm it up for him in case he hasn't eaten. Oh, and in case he doesn't answer, the pass code is 032490."
