After Divorce Billionaire Ex Found Me Pregnant

The joy in her son's voice, as well as the smile that had painted his face was something Leonica would never get tired of seeing, even if it was directed towards someone she didn't like.

"Hey, big guy. You ready for your weekend sleepover?" Gabriel crouched down and caught Ashley when he rushed into his arms.

Ashley nodded his head in excitement, showing just how happy he was to finally be with his father. From behind him, Gabriel caught sight of Leonica and the smile on his lips changes to a more mature one. "Hey, Leonica."

She mustered a half wave, fighting against the urge to ignore him- a habit she had forced into her system months ago- and reminding herself that she needed him... For now. "Hey."

Her response surprised Gabriel. It was very much not expected, just like how she had flat out ignored him back at the hospital. However, he quickly fixed his expression. "Thank you for dropping him off." He said, holding Ashley up and resting him on his hip. "No problem."

There was a short period of silence where they both gazed at each other, and then at Ashley who was now babbling about the toy he had seen a friend of his brought to school.

"Well, I guess I'll be leaving." Leonica spoke first, taking a fauxed step back in hopes that one of her boys...the boys, would ask her to stay. "Call me when he's ready to return." "Wait,"

Bingo.

With a neutral expression, hiding the smile that wanted to spread across her lips, Leonica turned to back around to face Gabriel, offering him a tilt of her head.

"Yes?"

"You're leaving so soon? Why don't you come inside?" Gabriel asked, already opening the door and letting Ashley into the house. Albert was just about to prepare some tea for me. Why don't you join me."

At his request, Leonica allowed an ample of smile grace her lips, making her features seem more pleasing to Gabriel.

"Sure."

Once again, he was surprised by her acceptance and at this point, it was starting to become clear to him that Leonica was up to something.

"Come in," He held the door open for her as she walked in.

Immediately, she was greeted by the familiar place she once called home.

"Margret," Gabriel called and soon, a chubby woman with faded black hair in her late fifties appeared. "Please show Ashley to his room and as for his languages," He paused and turned to Leonica. She took it as her cue to complete the sentence. "It's in the car. Please have it removed."

"

"Certainly." Margret bowed before turning to Ashley, a sweet smile playing on her lips. "Hello Young master, I've heard a lot about you. My name's Margret."

Ashley hesitated because of the unfamiliar presence, but a little pat on the back and a smile from his mother was all it took for him to slowly open up. "My name's Ashley."

"Ashley, huh?" She cooed. "That's such a cute name. Come, let's go to your room, shall we?"

As she watched Margret walk away with Ashley, Gabriel turned back to Leonica. "Let's have the tea in my office."

"I'm okay with that."

Without exchanging any other words, Gabriel led the way towards his office.
