After Divorce Billionaire Ex Found Me Pregnant

Chapter 169

She had this innocent look on her face that he was sure that she didn't low of the hickey on her neck, or at least she wasn't aware that it was peaking out from underneath her shirt. "No, not at all." He cleared his throat and focused his attention on the documents in front of him. Yet his mind wasn't a hundred percent there.

If anything, it was a complete 30% there and the rest, well, the rest was in a place far away.

He glanced back at Leonica, whose fingers were dancing across the loyboard, completely oblivious to the mark that was staring back at him, and his mood instantly became worse. God, how was she this oblivious, he wondered as he with a rather obvious sigh and a single shake of his head.

At this point, his attitude had become something Leonica couldn't ignore. "If something's the matter Gabriel, speakup," she demanded.

He didn't want to tell her, not because he didn't care, but because she was going to get mad.

So instead, be settled for the safest method in his mind.

"I'm feeling a bit umwell, shall we continue the meeting! packing the documents up

some other time?" He said, more than asked, as before she could even give an answer, he had began

Leonica blinked in confusion, but didn't pry any further. "Very well Let's continue the meeting some other time." She said and turned back to her computer screen, giving it most of her attention, while a small bit of her attention remained on Gabriel's movement He was behaving weird, Leonica could tell, not because he wasn't feeling well, she knew how he acted when he was ill. So why was he acting this way? Whatever the reason was, she couldn't figure it out.

"Leonica," The sound of Gabriel's voice and something warm wrapping around her neck brought her back to reality, and that was when she felt the warmth of Gabriel's scarf around her neck

"Winter's approaching." He simply said and stepped back, his eyes locked on hers. "It's best if you keep this on."

And with that, he walked off, leaving Leonica confused

What was all that about?

The answer to her question came later that day when she watching a TV show with Ashley and he pointed out.

"Mommy, did you get bitten by a bug?"

Leonica paused the show and looked at him. "Bug? What do you mean?

"Right here," Ashley pointed to her neck and then said. "See, you have a mark"

Leonica's eyes widened and she had quickly rushed to the mirror in the dining area.

When she stared at her reflection, she saw what Ashley was talking about, and the realization was enough to have her face tuning red.

Owen! She was so going to smack him several times with a pillow the next time they met, which unfortunately for him and fortunately for her, was in the morning.

Aweek had gone by since Leonica's interview with florer. During those seven days, nothing noticeable bad happened and because of that, Leonica was just about thinking that her love was finally settling down.

But that was wishnal thinking. A month couldn't go by in her life without drama, Leonica kaew this much after getting to the hospital for Ashley's monthly checoup and bring informed that his condition hadn't improved, in fact, it had worsened.

"How is this possible?" She questioned, her expression full of worry as she held onto her son's hand. "You said everything was okay as long as he took his meds.
