After Divorce Billionaire Ex Found Me Pregnant

Standing outside with Owen's jacket around her shoulder, Leonica sighed out and watched her breath turn visible before it disappeared.

Today had turned out to be much of a success than she had imagined.

She chuckled, To think all her fears was all for nothing.

The feeling of her phone vibrating pulled her away from her thought. She reached the the device in her purse, a thin smile finding it's way onto her lips when she saw it was a message from Gabriel. [Hey, how are you?]

It read.

[I'm fine. Is something the matter?] She replied, waiting only a second for his reply.

[Not at all, just wanted to check up on you. How's your ankle doing?]

Leonica stared at his message for a few seconds and could chuckle. Memory loss sure did a number on him.

The Gabriel she was used to didn't even care when he abandoned her on the road on the day of his grandmother's funeral, but now here he was, asking how her sprained ankle was doing.

Delightful. She could get used to something like this. But not to used too it, after all, she still had to put some distance between both of them, else he'd misunderstand the situation. And that she didn't want. [My Ankle's doing fine, thank you for asking.] She typed her reply and sent it, watching as yet another of his reply came back seconds later.

[That's nice. I have work to get back to, I hope you enjoy the rest of your evening.]

She sure would, Leonica thought as she heard the footsteps of Owen approaching.

She shoved her phone into her purse, making a mental note to try and improve the relationship between she and Gabriel as could parents, since he was making several efforts to be a better person. "Done?" She asked as Owen pecked her cheek and took her hand.

"Yes, I've left the message for my father." Owen replied earning a nod from Leonica.

For a few seconds, they both fell into a comfortable silence, walking side by side.

"Well that was a success." Leonica mused, breaking the silence. "A major one, I might add."

Owen hummed, not quite sure what else to say.

His father's approval was something he had always looked forward to getting from the man and now that he had gotten it, he wasn't quite sure how to feel.

Where was excitement that he always imagined? Happiness? Relief?

All those emotions were nowhere to be found, and in their place, was a heavy weight, a sense of disappointment that Owen couldn't understand.

"Owen?" Leonica stared at him with concerned eyes. "Are you okay?"

He was. Of course he was, he just couldn't seem to sort out his feelings towards his father.

He didn't hate the man, but he didn't love him either way.

"I am," He answered, smiling reassuringly at his Fiancée. "Just thinking."
