After Divorce Billionaire Ex Found Me Pregnant

Chapter 230

Her Fate Was Not With Gabriel.

"Where the hell have you been?" Was the first thing Leonica was greeted with when she walked into her house, followed by Owen's worried face. "Eight hours, fifty three missed calls and its just now you're showing up.' "I'm so sorry Owen. I went to the church to meet with Florence but then Irene called and-"

Her explanation was cut short when Owen came in front of her and grabbed her chin, eyes darkening at the sight of a bruise on her cheek.

"Who did this?"

"Owen-"

"I said who did this to you?" He repeated and she sighed.

"Irene."

"Your half sister?" Owen spat and Leonica nodded.

"She's the one that kidnapped mom, but don't worry, I was able to rescue her."

"Rescue her?" Owen mumbled, it even sure where to start tackling Leonica from the explanation she had just given him.

She was late because she went to rescue her mother from the clutches of her half sister and she also got the bruise on her face whilst doing that.

Which meant he had no route to tackle her from.

Deciding to leave it be, for now at least, Owen signed and asked. "Are you hurt anywhere else?"

"No, no. I'm fine. You can stop worrying."

"Good." He whispered and wrapped her into his arms, pulling her flush against him. "You really worried Ashley and I."

"I'm sorry,"

"It's alright. You did good." He said and pulled away, gazing at her with a gentle smile. "But next time, please inform me before doing anything dangerous."

"Will do," She promised and leaned up, placing a kiss on his lips. "Where's Ashley?" She asked as she slipped out of his hold and walked towards the kitchen. "Sleeping," Owen answered.

"And Grace?"

"She had to leave early because of a family emergency."

"Oh, alright."

Owen watched her make her way into the kitchen, pulling out a box of ice from the fridge and placing it against her face.
