After Divorce Billionaire Ex Found Me Pregnant (Leonica and Gabriel) novel Chapter 22

Both their gazes travelled in the direction. Now while ones eyes crinkled I’m confusion, the others became wide with joy. 

In a few seconds, the boy had jumped off the bench and raced towards the crowd before Gabriel could even react. 

“Mommy!” He called out as he opened his arms and rushes into the crowd. 

The 

group of men parted to the sides giving way to the child and in the process, revealing the lady in the center. 

Gabriel nearly choked on his saliva when his gaze landed on the woman the child had rushed 

into. 

“Oh my baby, you nearly gave mommy a heart attack” Leonica said as she bent down and scooped The boy up into her arms, embracing him in a passionate hug. 

While from where he stood, Gabriel watched the interaction between supposed mother and son, with an open mouth. 

Act Fast Free Bonus Time is Running Out! 

His Child Is…Alive?! 

With Mouth hanging open and eyes widening far beyond their capacity, Gabriel watched the scene in front of him play out like a sitcom. 

Except it wasn’t some channel television, it was real. 

Leonica was a mother. 

“Why did you leave the doctor’s appointment, Ash?” Leonica, despite the scolding tone she had, pecked the young bow on his forehead. “Are you aware of how worried mommy was?” She asked, loud enough for Gabriel to hear, Indeed confirming his thoughts. 

That child belonged to Leonica… 

But hadn’t she said that she had aborted the baby five years ago? 

So whose child was this? 

Someone else’s? 

Not possible. The Boy, Ash as she had called him, had referred to her as his mother and she to herself as his mother. 

So it was clear to him that This boy, Ash, was her child, so did that mean…she had another 

child with another man? 

The thought, as unusual as it was to pass Gabriel’s mind, caused a storm of emotions to unleash inside, the strongest ones present being anger and confusion. 

For some reason, just like when he had gotten home and learnt of her disappearance five years ago, Gabriel refused to accept the situation as it was. 

Unlike five years ago, he needed answers. And answers he was going to get. 

Placing one foot forward, Gabriel had taken a defining step, mind set on confronting Leonica, when he suddenly felt a hand latch onto his upper arm from behind. 

Instantly, he whipped his head around, freezing the moment his eyes met with Angelina’s 

OWNL 

“Gabe, there you are. What took you so long?” She questioned innocently, tilting her head and body weight, which was being supposed by a crutch, to the side. 

Seeing her face, the make recalled the reason why he had visited the hospital in the first place foregoing it after having ran into the child. 

“Were you lost?” She questioned his silence. “Well that’s fine, I’m here now. Let’s go to my room.” She offered. 

Gabriel was reluctant. No matter how much he tried to not let it show, it was clear on his face. that instead of going with his finacèè, he’d much rather stay her and question his ex wife from 

five years ago 

Angelina sensed this, thought not sure what was bringing about this new reluctance of his, 

she did not like it. 

Gabriel’s attention was hers and hers alone. There was no room for reluctance even if it was 

business related. 

It had been that way up until now and she wasn’t going to allow that change. 

Taking a step forward, the brunette pretended to slip on her crutches, nearly crashing into Gabriel. Fortunately, he caught her, steading her balance. 

“I’m sorry,” She apologized sheepishly, tugging the fallen locks of her hair behind her ears. My leg hasn’t fully healed yet. Standing for too long, like this, isn’t really wise. Come on Gabe, let’s go back to my room.” She grabbed onto his hand and began to pull him away, somewhat limping in her every step. 

Gabriel pressed his lips together. He wanted to break out of Angelina’s hold and rush towards Leonica, but that would clearly make him look like an unloyal fiance. 

And Leonica, wasn’t worth that type of stress. 

But that didn’t mean he was giving up on confronting her. She owed him an explanation and he was going to come back and get one. 

“I’m sorry for worrying you, mommy,” Ashley apologized, lips turned downwards. “The needles…they looked really scary.” He admitted, although not too proud of his actions. 

“My prince was really scared off by needles?” 

Ashely nodded his head. “They all looked so scary. I had to run, but I ended up getting separated from my nanny.” He continued to explain. 

Leonica was just about to comfort her son, rather than scolding him any longer, when the boy suddenly perked up, gloomy aura completely gone. 

“But then Kind Uncle helped me.” He announced. 

Leonica blinked her eyes in confusion. “K–kind Uncle?” 

“Yeah, he’s right there!” Ashely pointed towards where he had left the man that was with him. 

However, when they both looked back, the bench and it’s surroundings was empty. 

“Huh? Where did he go?” Ashely questioned, craning his neck in different directions. 

“Who were you talking about, Ashely?” His mother asked. 

“Kind Uncle,” The kid repeated. “He found me after I had lost the nanny and waited with me 

until 

you came. He was here just a few seconds ago.” 

“Ashely,” Leonica called out in a serious tone. “What did I warn you about trusting strangers?” 

“Well…I…” He tried to defend his earlier action. Alas he settles for the only thing that came to his mind even when aware that it wouldn’t prevent his mother’s scolding. “Well he wasn’t driving an ice cream truck. Neither did he offer me candy!” 

Leonica pinched the bridge of her nose with her free hand and sighed. 

“Ashely, you still shouldn’t have trusted him.”

“But he wasn’t a clown, didn’t have an ice scream truck and wasn’t offering me candy.” 

“But he was still a stranger, wasn’t he?” Leonica deadpanned. 

Ashely opened his mouth to defend, however he saw no reasoning that could counter the warning his mother had given him. 

In the end, he settled on a simple request, stirring some of the conversation’s direction in the 

process. 

“Can we at least look for kind Uncle and thank him?” He questioned. 

Leonica sighed, about to shake her head. “Ash-” 

“Please. Please mommy. Please-” He begged, finger laced together and lips turned. downwards with sparkling eyes. 

He was showing the puppy dog expression. A face that he was fully aware his mother couldn’t resist and was using it to his full advantage. 

Just like he had predicted, Leonica couldn’t bring herself to say no. But, just when she was about to give in, her phone began to ring. 

“Hold on Ash,” She reached for the device, swiping on the answer Icon after confirming that it was Anastasia who had been calling. “Hey Annie, what’s up?” 

“The preparations back at Ashley’s school has been sorted out. Could you tell the nanny to bring him over if they’re done with the medical check up?” 

“As a matter of fact, I’m at the hospital, with Ashely. Not the nanny.” 

From the other end, Anastasia sighed. In the short space of a week and a half since Leonica had returned, she had gotten to know that Ashely was a mischievous sould despite his innocent 

appearance. 

And from the words of her best friend, she could already tell that Ashely had taken one look at the hospital’s injection needle and turned into Scooby. 

“Expected as much.” She muttered. “You know what, forget the medical checkup. I’ll handle. that here, how about you both come and do some final check ups, yeah?”

‘Alright. We’re coming.” Leonica said and hung up. 

Turning her face to Ashely’s, she pressed her lips into a thin line. “Ash, we gotta leave. Let’s find kind Uncle some other time, okay?” 

The kid glanced back In the direction he had left said Kind uncle and although he didn’t like the idea of leaving without saying ‘thank you‘ he didn’t want to mess up his school preparations. 

Deciding for the best, he nodded his head to his mother’s words. 

Leonica smiled. “Nice. Let’s go now.” Her words were heard by the men, body guards to be precise, who had come with her. 

Immediately, they turned around, leading her towards the exit. 

However, with each step Leonica took, she couldn’t help but look over her shoulder, feeling as if she had perhaps missed something important. 

Inforption Data Breach. 

Information Data Breach. 

“…You know, seeing you lost was so unlike you. You had taken so much time, keeping me waiting…and getting me worried of course. Those are the two things you should never do to your fiancee, babe. Gabe, are you listening?” 

Gabriel, even though he had been addressed and it being courtesy for him to respond, 

remained silent. 

Currently, seated in Angelina’s recovery wing and listening to her tattle on about how late he had been nearly an hour past when she had called the male’s thoughts constantly strayed 

back to a certain child and his mother. 

Leonica and Ash. 

His thoughts, ever since stepping into the recovery wing, had been filled with the two. The scene he had witnessed replayed in his mind. Thoughts of Ash being the child of 

nother man taunting him. 

Somehow, it felt those circling thoughts were driving him crazy, making him incapable of focusing on his fiancee in front of him, even when she hissed in pain each time the bandage around her ankles had been wrapped. 

“Gabe?” Angelina tilted her head to the side at his silent state. “Are you okay…?Ah!” She glared at the nurse who quickly bowed at her mistake.
