After Divorce Billionaire Ex Found Me Pregnant

"Leonica," His voice was deep, almost husky, and it did something to her insides. "I really want to kiss you," He confessed. "May i?" She didn't answer, but the way her lips slightly parted told him all he needed to know. So, he leaned forward, his lips hovering above hers. "This is your last chance, Leonica."

But she didn't back away, instead, eyes searched his seemingly looking for something

"I'll get it." She said, turning around and racing to the door.

"What the hell was wrong with me?" She mumbled as she reached for the handle, pulling the door open. But instead of a random guest, Gabriel was standing there! Special Halow

Gnawing Realizations.

The first thing Gabriel noticed as the door came open was Leonica's brightly flushed cheeks, followed by her causal top that had one edge hanging off the side of her shoulder, exposing more skin that he was used to and finally.

But as tempting it was to stare without much words, or any words at all, Gabriel reminded himself why he had driven for half an hour and stormed his way up her porch, permanently fixing his eyes on her face.

"What are you doing here?" She sharply questioned, clearly still bitter about their encounter earlier. "Ah," She held up her finger, stopping him just as his lips parted. "And if you're here to say 'we need to talk' then unfortunately for you, you've not only wasted your time and effort, but also your petrol, because I am not in the mood to talk to you."

"If you weren't in the mood to talk to me, then why didn't you tell me about the aftermath of Ashley's accident? IVF? Bone Marrow transplant? Nothing." He listed, drilling his gaze into hers when she clammed her eyes shut, for a moment, forgetting that she had not informed him of all that

came so plain and simple that it seemed like she wasn't going to tell him in the first place.

"I forgot" Her answer car

"You forgot?" Gabriel parroted. "To inform me, his father, about my son's well-being? How?"

"Because it was clear to me that you wouldn't care-"

"No, you don't get to decide that for me." Gabriel seethed, taking a step forward. "Don't I have the right to know? I'm his father, and yet, I had to learn all that from a Doctor." Doctor Bailey, you snitch, Leonica thought.

"Alright, well now you know. Hope doctor Bailey filled you in on everything." She said and grabbed the handle, intending to close the door.

Gabriel inserted his foot in the way before she could do so.

"We aren't done." Gabriel objected but Leonica insisted.

Gabriel, now leave."

"Thank you for making me see the light, Gabriel, I'm truly grateful" "You'll still get to see Ashley, weekly, or whenever your schedule allows it, but anything past that," she shook her head, "No. Not this time around, Gabriel" she said

her words was enough to snap Gabriel out of whatever anger frenzy he had doused himself in while driving to her place. He swallowed thickly, suddenly feeling like he had realized his audacity, no, not feeling. He had realized his audacity.
