After Divorce Billionaire Ex Found Me Pregnant

"I should get going." Leonica said, taking her hand out of his grasp. "It's getting dark." "Yeah, it is." Arvan agreed, his voice sounding a bit disappointed. "I'll be seeing you." "See you." Leonica flashed him one last smile before walking off towards the direction of her car.

"Wait, I'll escort you." Arvan offered, catching up to her in no time.

Leonica didn't refuse him, after all, she wasn't one to deny a gentleman's offer.

"Your Ex is pretty." She commented.

"That's a cheesy way to compliment yourself, Leo." Arvan said and she chuckled at the nickname.

"So that's how it's gonna be from now on, huh?" She asked and Arvan laughed.

"I guess it is. I hope you don't mind." "Not really." He said as they arrived at her car.

"I'll talk to you tomorrow." She said, looking up at him as he hovered by her door.

"Alright." He said. "Have a safe trip back." "Thanks." She replied and Arvan nodded, shutting the door.

He remained standing by her car and waved until she drove off, then, with a sigh, he turned around and made his way back.

*~* Leonica was on her way back home, currently stuck in traffic to be precise, when she got a phone call from Alistair.

"Yeah, hello?" She answered, placing the phone on speaker and focusing back on the road just as the light turned green. "Ms. Romero, I apologize for calling you all of a sudden but I need your help." Alistair spoke having urgency in his voice. ""What is it?" "I'm a bit caught up in a board meeting, with, you know, that thing, and as things stand, the meeting looks like it's going to last another extra three to four hours, and the thing is, Owen's sick and no one's at hto take care of him." He explained.

"I see." She muttered, her brows furrowing in concern at his words.

"I wouldn't ask this of you Ms. Romero, but as things stand, there's no one else I can trust this much, so if you can, could you please-" "Yes, of course." Leonica interrupted him before he could finish up. "Just sendthe address." Alistair released a relieved sigh from the other end. "I really owe you one, Ms. Romero. I'm gonna send the address now. The medicines are on the kitchen counter and I stored sporridge in the fridge, you can warm it up for him in case he hasn't eaten. Oh, and in case he doesn't answer, the pass code is 032490." Her birthday, that was the first thought that crossed her mind as she heard those numbers. "Alright, noted." She said and ended the call, making a U-turn when Alistair sent her the address.

Thirty minutes later, she arrived at Owen's place.

"Owen?" She called out, knocking against the door.

Once. Twice. Thrice. It was around the forth tshe began to get worried and typed in the pass code Alistair had given her.

RELIN ON THE Prodigal Wite 414 The door made a beeping sound, granting her access. Put just as she pulled it open and took her first step in, the bright entrance lights turning on, she spotted Owen lying on the floor, right in front of her. "Oh god." Leonica quickly rushed over, dropping to her knees by his side. She felt his forehead, her brows knitting together as she did.

"He's burning up." She muttered, lifting him in her arms and trying to rush him to the bedroom, where ever that was, but under his weight, her kneels gave out and she crumbled to the floor, Owen landing on top of her.

The Impact, as little and cushioned by her body as it may have been, woke Owen up to sextent and slowly, his eyes opened, locking into her.

"Leo?" For Neve Fi Senie For A Kids For Now, I'll Settle For A Kiss.

1/4 Not much to Leonica's surprise, Owen had sauntered back to sleep the moment he opened his eyes and called her name. She managed to hoist him up, raising herself from the ground and successful making it over to the room this taround. However, just as she took a step away, Owen's hand wrapped around her wrist. "Stay." He said in an almost pleading manner.

She wanted to refuse the idea but was never one who was fond of the idea of leaving a sick patient unattended to.

"I'll behave, I promise. Just...stay." He sounded like a kid who was being threatened to take his naps and didn't want to sleep alone.

"Okay." She gave in, the look on his face weakening her defenses. "But I have to call Grace first and inform her." "Of course." Owen said with a weak smile, finally releasing her hand.

Leonica pulled her phone out and dialed said housekeeper's number.

And after letting her know the situation, placed her phone down. "There, done." "Good, now chere." Owen tugged at her again, patting the empty spot on the bed next to him.

"No," Leonica declined, pulling a chair up to the bedside and seating down on it. "I'll stay here." Owen's brows furrowed and he pouted, the expression on his face resembling that of a child being denied a candy.

"You're no fun." He said, but a smirk made it's way to his lips. "But at least one good thing cout of this." "And what's that?" Leonidas tilted her head to the side, lose front curls fanning her cheekbone.

"I've got you all to myself." Leonica couldn't help the small smile that crept up to her lips at his words. "Don't act like a kid, Owen. I'm not one of your toys you can have to yourself." "Oh, but I wish you were." He said and yawned. "That way, I won't have to compete with more people for you're attention." Leonica remained silent at his words, mustering a smile to cover the pink that was tinting her cheeks.

"Go to bed, Owen. You need rest." She told him.

"Okay." Owen nodded with hesitance, yawning once more before his eyes fluttered close.

Leonica stayed in the chair, watching him for a long time, his breathing slowing down and evening out.

With a sigh, she leaned her head on the edge of the bed, folding her arms like pillows but allowing her fingers to sprawl out, gently touching Owen's.

"Goodnight, Owen." She muttered and closed her eyes, surprised at how fast sleep came.

*~* In the morning, when the sun had risen and the birds had begun to sing, literally, Owen's eyes slowly opened.

The first thing his blurry vision registered was the sleeping face of Leonica right in front of him. Her head was still lying on the bed, her eyes shut and her lashes fanning her cheeks. He took a moment to admire her, a small smile coming on his lips, and the urge to touch her face overwhelmed him.

He raised his hand, reaching for her, but stopped just inches away from her.

"Beautiful." He muttered, admiring the way the golden light of the sun seemed to highlight her face.

He wanted to kiss her, hold her and keep her all to himself, and he hated the fact that he couldn't.

Leonica was too far out of his league. She was the sun, and he, was but a mere planet, unable to reach her no matter how much he wanted.

And then there were the other obstacles in his path, Gabriel and Arvan namely. But well to But well, he reallym well he didn't have to worry about Gabriel. At first, he worried that Leonica might still have feeling for him, but from the looks of things, it's clear that she's gotten over her old feelings for him. For New T Stue for A 2/4 Hopefully she doesn't develop new ones, he thought as his cyes left her face and began to wander, they landed on the hand resting between them.

His gaze softened and the corners of his mouth curved upwards in a small smile. His hand inched closer to hers, Hist the tips of his fingers barely brushing against hers. "I love you." He whispered, and his thumb caressed her knuckles.

Leonica stirred, her brows creasing and her lips parting in a soft groan.

"Owen?" She mumbled, her eyes slowly opening.

"Morning, sunshine." Owen greeted, a smile on his lips.

Leonica blinked, taking a moment to realize where she was before sitting up and stretching.

"How are you feeling?" She asked, turning to look at him.

"Much better now that you're awake." He said and Leonica rolled her eyes.
