After Divorce, Billionaire Ex Found Me Pregnant-Chapter 30 Inessential Jealousy.

If Angelina’s set goal was to annoy and get under Leonica’s skin with her unnecessary announcement, then she was succeeding.

Hearing those words, although she had expected to hear it some day, hit Leonica like a brick she had not physically prepared herself for.

Her strut towards any crowded direction which she could use as an escape alternative had come to a stop, giving Angelina, who had seen her halting step, a chance to pound the horrible, yet incredibly lie for her, into Leonica’s head.

“Yeah, you heard me right. I’m pregnant, and it’s Gabriel’s, so don’t bother trying to disrupt our wedding, after all, a blessed child such as mine, should have nothing less than a perfect family.”

Angelina continued to boast, hands on her hips and chest as she addressed herself in a third person’s point of view.

“But you know, I have you to thank for this. It’s all thanks to you being the snake and bitchy woman you are, that Gabriel could still open up his heart to me, after three whole years.” She carried on. “And now, just like, we’d soon be married, living our best lives in the Maldives while you...you’ll remain you.”

Hearing the mocking tone in her voice, Leonica turned over and stalked back to her previous position. “So what? I’m I meant to get on my knees and cry?”

Her words surprised Angelina, who once again, just like back at the banquet, wasn’t receiving the exact reaction she had wanted.

“Look here, hussy,” Leonica addressed her with venom. “All this shit you’re saying, has nothing to do with me. I’ve told you this once and I’ll say it again.” Taking a step closer, she stared down at the female in front of her, her eyes showing nothing but the sincerity behind her words. “I have no interest in whatever ass crap you and Gabriel Bryce are up to, so don’t bother stressing all that news in my ears, it’s just gonna give me a headache. Nothing more, nothing less.”

Angelina who had momentarily been frozen, finally gathered up the courage to speak. “Ha, like I’ll believe all what you say-“

“And should I?” Leonica cut her off. “You go around publicly announcing your relationship with Gabriel like it’s some hot selling topic. News flash, it isn’t and people have better things to do than heading you announce your damn promotion from mistress to fiancee.” She added in upon seeing the confused, yet stunned look on Angelina’s face.

Stepping back this time around, the female pulled a couple of her locks out of her face, tucking them behind her ears before she finally added.

“Take a moment to seat back and relax,” She tapped her temple. “Think things through, If you’re so confident about your position if Gabriel’s life, there won’t be any need for you to be announcing it every now and then.”

Turning around and continuing her walk towards the crowd, she scoffed at Angelina’s speechless form and muttered.

“Unless you don’t.”

With that, Leonica was out of Angelina’s sight, leaving the woman to mull over her words, and the possibility that, what Leonica had said was right.

Weaving through the crowd, Leonica tried to locate Anastasia and Ashely all the while trying to keep her mind clear of Angelina’s words. But no matter how hard she tried, the words found a way of replaying in her mind.

‘So, she’s pregnant, huh?’ Leaning against the nearest surface, Leonica sighed, her hand going up to massage the side of her chest that seemed to suddenly have aching.

“Damn it,” she cursed through gritted teeth.

Her day had been going oh so well, damn, she was even enjoying the outing with Anastasia and Ashely, first time in ages. Yet that viper just had to show up and open her big, unnecessary mouth, half way, if not utterly ruining her entire day.

Who would have thought that in the time span of less than five minutes, she’d be doing fine one seconds and now, the mere thought of Angelina being pregnant with Gabriel’s child, left her feeling a like she somewhat had an upset stomach.

Sighing, she pushed her thoughts aside, after all, her thoughts weren’t as important as her son.

Pushing herself off her resting surface, she resumed her search for Ashely or Anastasia, or better yet, both of them.

Meanwhile, half way across the amusement park, Anastasia who had successfully gotten Ashely away and distracted, was busy taking bites from her ice cream cone when her stomach suddenly released a loud rumble.

A few passing people In the crowd heard it. In seconds, her face turned a fresh color of red and her hands wrapped themselves around her stomach. While all this was happening, an embarrassed laugh escaped her mouth, causing Ashely who was beside her to glance at her in worry.

He tugged on their entwined hands, gaining her attention. “Are you alright, Auntie Annie?”

The older woman chuckled, wanting to play the embarrassing situation off as nothing. “Y-yeah. Don’t worry.”

“But your stomach doesn’t quite sound alright.” Ashely pressed, his round grey eyes holding the same amount of worry as his voice did.

Anastasia chuckled once more, this time more embarrassed than before. She parted her lips, wanting to reassure the child once more, but much to her dismay, her stomach cried out in a louder protest, causing her lips to clam shut before words could even leave them.

“Ash, i...” She hesitated, glancing both ways as if the passing people would head her words. When she was sure no one was ease dropping, she continued. “I think Auntie Annie needs to take a trip to the powder room.”

Leading him towards where she knew was safe to leave him, under supervised eyes, she instructed. “I won’t be long, so wait for me here, alright?”

Ashely stared up at her and instead of voicing words of understanding and obedience or nodding, he simply offered her a smile.

‘Oh sweet mother marry, save me.’

Anastasia was more that hesitant at this point, but as soon as he stomach rumbled loudly again, her legs moved without her knowledge and in seconds, she was gone, leaving Ashely standing in the park’s safe zone.

‘I should wait, right?’ He looked around and sighed.

Staying without either of his mother or godmother in such a crowded environment was a new experience for him.

The boy, not liking the idea of being under the eyes of strangers, including one holding big, tempting bag of candy while stealing glances at him, was about to coil up, when his eyes spotted the figure of someone familiar in the crowd.

‘H-huh? Kind Mister?’ He thought, squinting his eyes to see clearly.

And just like he had thought, the tall man walking by, with a phone to his ear, was indeed the man he had ran into in the halls of the hospital.

Without thinking twice, nor listening to the calling voice of his temporary supervisors, Ashely bolted into the crowd and towards the tall figure.

At that moment, Gabriel had just finished wrapping up a business call with one of his several clients, the owner of said Amusement park her was currently walking in, when he suddenly heard a familiar and tiny voice call out.

“Kind Mister!”

Looking up from the screen of his phone, the man was greeted by the sight of a running boy heading his way.

Ashely, tiny as he was, barreled his way through the crowd, all the while waving his hands in the air to catch Gabriel’s attention.

As he got closer to his target, the corners of his lips began to stretch, giving way for a boxy, yet adorable smile to form on his face.

Gabriel watched him all the while his heart feeling like it was melting with each passing second that he allowed his heart to remain on the approaching child.

That feeling however, was crowded and overrun by something different and dark.

A sense of inessential Jealousy that crept it’s way into Gabriel’s chest, wrapping itself around his heart like poisonous vines, once he remembered that the child he gazed so softly at, as the product of his ex wife and another man’s sexual indulgence.
