After Divorce Billionaire Ex Found Me Pregnant

"Yeah. I'm going into the office." She said, an idea suddenly popping into her head as she spoke. She hesitated, but after a second long pep talk, she spat it out. "Wanna meet us and grab some breakfast?" "Breakfast?" She nodded her head, knowing fully well that he couldn't see her.

"Yeah." As she waited for his answer, she bit down on her lower lip and tapped her finger on her thigh.

"Mhm, that sounds like a great plan." He responded, and just like that, she felt the air in her lungs return. "Would it be okay for me to pick you up from the office?"

"Yeah, yeah that can work."

"Alright. Two hours, would that be okay?"

"Yes, that would be perfect."

"Alright. Leonica whispered and cut the call, looking at the screen and sighing.

"What are you doing?" She asked herself, her brows furrowing and her finger pressing against her temple.

She was doing it again, letting a man into her life. But then again, Owen wasn't just any man.

She knew him.

He wasn't Gabriel, he was different, and she wasn't going to let her past experiences dictate her life.

She shook her head and turned away from the mirror, heading downstairs for breakfast, which she didn't intend to stay long for.

"Good morning, Ms. Romero." Grace greeted and placed a plate in front of her, a cup of freshly brewed tea beside it.

"Good morning." She replied, picking up the cup and taking a sip, the warm liquid instantly warming her.

As she ate, her phone buzzed again. She picked it up and groaned when seeing it was a message from Kennedy.
