After Divorce Billionaire Ex Found Me Pregnant (Leonica and Gabriel) novel Chapter 210

The first thing Leonica noticed as she walked towards the entrance of her Villa, was dropping temperature at night as winter was quickly approaching.

The second thing being Arvan’s serious face as she stood in front of him, hands tucked into the pocket of the over coat Grace had insisted she wore before stepping out.

“You sure chose to best time to show up,” She joked, taking note of how her breath seemed to take a misty form before disappearing. “What is it you need, Arvan?”

“I wanted to drop this off,” Reaching into the pocket of his coat, Arvan pulled out a small brown envelope and handed it to her. “It’s the final document to reinstate the cooperation between our companies.”

“That’s quite thoughtful of you,” Leonica said as she examined the envelope. “But, is that really the only thing you came all the way to my house for, Arvan?”

The man stared at her, as If he was contemplating whether to speak his mind or not.

“I saw the articles, Leonica,” He said at last, watching as she slowly nodded her head, silently mouthing the word ‘Oh’.

“Surprised, weren’t you?” Leonica chuckled. “Who would have thought your ex wife would turn out to be my half sister.”

Now that she said it out loud, it sounded more ironic to her. Her life really sounded like a yarn ball, constantly unraveling with something new.

“Leonica,” Arvan called out softly, drawing her attention away from her thoughts and for the first time since knowing him, Leonica saw Arvan looking truly hesitant. “I know this might be bad timing considering all that’s going on around you, but I just want you to know, my feelings for you, wasn’t prompted because of the resemblance between you and Irene. You two may look alike, but I learnt that you’re completely different persons and-“

“Arvan,” Leonica cut him off, smiling at how he had rambled on. “You’ve explained this before, haven’t you?” She reminded, stepping forward and taking his hands on hers to assure him that she truly understood. “It never really bothered me.”

“So you were okay with the fact that I might have fallen in love with you because of your sister’s face?”

“But you didn’t,” Leonica flashed him a smile that damn nearly had his heart jumping out of his chest. “And from the looks of it, those sweet feelings are gone now, aren’t they?” She gently shook his hand, waiting for his answer.

Of course they weren’t. He couldn’t just erase the feelings he had for her in three months.

He was more fond of her than he was of that one gold fish he had back in college, and even that took him almost a year to get over when his girlfriend took it after their breakup.

But of course he wasn’t going to tell her that. As much as he wishes his feelings would be reciprocated and that he’d be the one beside her rather than that blondie idol, he cherished their friendship and wouldn’t dare to let things become awkward between them.

“Of course they are,” He lied, mirroring her smile.

Weirdly enough, Leonica felt a sense of relief. She had feared than when Arvan spoke about his feelings, things would eventually end up like they did with Gabriel a couple hours prior.

But it turned out to be totally different. In fact, she felt more at ease around him.

So much so, that she wanted to hug him and thank him for not pushing his feelings on her and quietly sorting it out, much unlike Gabriel, but decided against it, thinking how it was far too late to do so.

Instead, she offered him a soft squeeze on his shoulder, a silent message that she was grateful for their friendship.

Arvan could only but smile, hoping that with time, his feelings would indeed die out, especially now that she was engaged.

“Now then,” Stepping back, she held up the envelope that he had given her. “I’ll have this processed by Monday, so expect a call from Kennedy.”

Arvan managed a thin smile. “Alright.”

“Then, I’ll be heading back inside,” Leonica began walking back when suddenly, side movement caught her attention. But the moment she turned her head in its direction, the movement steeled.

Strange, something had definitely just moved now?

“Leonica?”

“Ah,” She looked back at Arvan, offering him a smile. “Good night, Arvan.”
