After Divorce Billionaire Ex Found Me Pregnant

I Really, Really Love You.

Gabriel learnt the hard way that it was harder to sooth the pain of a broken heart by just staying in his office and staring at the landscape of Oslo while hoping that Leonica would walk right through his office door and tell him that she was just pulling a prank on him.

The truth was, that wasn't happening. Not anytime soon.

So here he was, sitting on a bar stool in a pub, drowning his sorrow away with alcohol.

The bartender had already given up on him, choosing to let the male drown in his own misery instead of telling him off.

Gabriel raised the beer mug to his lips, taking another sip, hoping that the alcohol would magically erase the fact that he had just screwed up and chased away the best thing that had ever happened to him.

His grandmother sure would be disappointed from up above, he chuckled at the painful truth.

Lilia has loved Leonica so much. On multiple occasions, when she had enough strength to move around, she would request that Gabriel come visit her in the garden, only to talk about how much of the ideal daughter in-law Leonica was.

And she was right, Leonica was the best daughter in-law, even after the she passed away and Gabriel seemed swarmed with work, she had been the one taking care the funeral preparations and still managed to take care of him at that moment.

A sigh escaped his lips as he placed the empty beer mug on the table and tried remembering when everything had gone wrong.

After a while, he could pin point the exact date through his alcohol blurred memory.

Everything had began going down hill the day he got a call from Angelina. She had just returned to Oslo after several years, but had no one to pick her up.

Obviously, he wanted to volunteer, but Leonica, who at that time, he had thought was being too noisy in his personal life, had objected, reminding him of the promise he made to his late Grandmother, which later led to him kicking her out of the car, something he greatly regretted now that he thought back to it.

After that, he had successful picked Angelina up, but a couple of rogue children who had been running around, knocked her into the airport's decorative fountain. Gabriel who tried to pull her out, ended up slipping and falling in the fountain with her, getting soaked in the process.

He offered for her to dry off at his place after they had both gotten out, and now that he thought about it, that was the one move on his path that caused things to escalate at a rapid.

Leonica returned home after that and misunderstood things between he and Angelina, and he didn't make much effort to clear things up and even dared to hit her.

Chuckling, he shook his head at his own past action. "Gabriel, you stupid stupid fool," He mumbled, reaching for the new beer mug the bartender had just served. "You lost her, and it's all because you were an idiot."

The bartender didn't comment on his words, but chose to clean the glass that he had in his hands.

"Why didn't I realize earlier? I should have listened to grandma. I should have loved Leonica." He repeated over and over again as he drank one glass after another.

After a while, the bartender had to step in. "Sir, it's getting late, is there someone I can call to come get you."

Leonica's face popped up in his mind. "Leonica. I want to talk to Leonica," He said as he reached for his phone in his pocket, scrolling through
