After Divorce Billionaire Ex Found Me Pregnant (Leonica and Gabriel) novel Chapter 44

“Yes sir,” the male replied, pulling out the small brown envelope he had acquired through his earlier investigation. “I ran a back check into the jewelry you requested, Sir.” 

Hearing his assistant’s words, Gabriel stopped flipping through the pages of his documents and raised his head. “And what did you find.” 

“Well…” the man hesitated, not wanting to offend his boss by bringing the result of his research. “The jewelry was from an antique store And well… it belongs to…to Ms. Leonica.” 

Gabriel’s eyes darkened. “Leonica?” 

“Yes, Sir. The jeweler said it was purchased in Ms. Romero’s name.” Bill confirmed, earning a chuckle from Gabriel. 

But much to his surprise, the look in his employer’s face, despite the occasional chuckles that escaped his mouth, looked anything but pleased. 

Yes, Gabriel was pissed. That woman, Leonica, she had the guts to disappear after using him to satisfy her sexual urges all night long. 

How bold of her. This time around, she had really messed with him and without a doubt, he was going to make her pay. 

He was going to teach her a lesson that he’d make sure she didn’t forget anytime soon. 

She Lied To Their Son. 

Ashely’s new week in school began with him listening to Daisy tell him all about how much his mother had spent time with her, rather than him 

The entire week, his mother had barely spent time with his, giving some excuse after the other while leaving him in his grandparents place, So hearing from another child that she had spent time and love intended for him, on her, bittered him, even though that wasn’t the girl’s intention. 

“Alright children, kindly quiet down.” The silver like sound of their homeroom teacher voice, Mrs. Harper, cut through his train of thought. 

Looking up, Ashely faced the woman who was trying to calm the children. 

When she finally did, she continued. “Today, we will be having our morning routines as usual, however with one exception.” Pointing her hand towards the door, everyone watched as a tall well built figure walked into their classroom. 

Watching the figure walk in, Ashely’s eyes grew wide in astonishment, recognition and 

pleasure. His expression was acknowledge as the male threw him a warm smile as soon as he spotted the younger boy. 

“Kids, today, a very important person would be joining us.” Mrs. Harper began once more as soon as The male had taken up a spot beside her “This is Mr. Gabriel Bryce, a very important and Norlight’s biggest shareholders and today, he’s here for a brief inspection.” 

One of the kindergartener raised his hand. “Yes, Gordon?” 

“What exactly is he going to be in…e…in-” 

“Inspecting.” Mrs. Harper pronounced with a kind smile, commending the boy for trying to correctly pronounce the word even though he had failed. Turning to Gabriel, she expressed a broader smile. “Well, Mr. Bryce, would you like to explain?” 

“Of course,” 

“Gabriel nodded at her before facing the children. His eyes found–Ashely’s once more before he began. “Hello Kids,” 

“Hello Mr. Bryce!” Their voices called back with some of them failing to pronounce his name correctly. 

“As Mrs. Harper has explained, today I’m here to inspect, starting with your class. It’s going to be nothing out of the ordinary, I’m just going to seat in for a few hours and…watch you all. Just a little exercise to determine how well you all are c mind to me. Consider me a fellow student if that puts your mind at ease.” He added the last along. Feel free to not pay any part with a chuckle, earning several toothy laughs from the students. 

Some of them even went as far as pointing out that he was too old to be a kindergartener. At

some point Mrs. Harper tried to calm them all down, all but one person who had arranged his uniform properly and sat diligently in his seat, not wanting to be associated with the other children’s rowdy behavior and thus, considered Ill behaved. 

His attempt didn’t go unnoticed. Throughout the masses of noisy children, Gabriel took note of how well composed he seemed, not only when seating down, but even when classes began. 

Watching him jolt down scribbles on his book, paying attention, as much as possible, to the words of Mrs. Harper, Gabriel couldn’t control the small smile that made its way to the corners of his lips. 

It was a smile filled with pride. He was proud, not only at Ashely’s knack for catching onto things faster than the other children, but also at his well behaved attitude. 

It was the type of pride that only a father could feel as he stared at his child. The child that brought nothing but happiness with their actions. 

As the minutes stretched out, Gabriel still intently watching the boy, he couldn’t help but acknowledge how intelligent and well mannered, 

No matter how much he didn’t want to admit it, Leonica had Raised Ashely in the right way. It 

was clear that she had taken her time and placed him in the right path, mannerism behavior 

and all, unlike her own. 

‘Perhaps,‘ Gabriel began to think, his smile tightening as he stared at Ashely. ‘Perhaps if Leonica were to apologize for all the pain she has caused Angelina, I can consider building a complete family with her…for Ashely sake.‘ 

Nodding his head subtly at the idea, his thoughts were interrupted as Mrs. Harper once again made her way to the front of the class room and clapped her hands, gaining the 

kindergartener’s attention. 

“Alright kids, times up, pens down.” She announced once that was turned, She turned around and scribbled big bold letters on their chalk board. 

‘A Speech About My Daddy‘ Gabriel read the white words written on the board and as if on instinct, his eyes found Ashely who was seated obediently. 

“Alright,” Clapping her hands together once more, almost like a bad habit, Ms. Harper addresses the class. “Now last week we had all decided on this topic and-” she dragged the final letters of her last words. “We even drew lots. Can someone remind me who goes first again?”

In sync, without missing a heartbeat, everyone’s fingers pointed at Ashely, Daisy’s included, who later whispered a remorseful apologize. 

“That’s right! Ashely you’re first. Now I’m sure you have your drawing completed, so why don’t you come up here and tell us all about your father.” 

Ashely gulped, visibly. His eyes roamed the entire classroom, and than *****

elderly male offered him a genuine smile, brimming on the inside to hear what the child has to say about his father, him. 

With a smile given from his kind uncle, Ashely felt a tad bit less nervous. He hopped off his chair and approached the front of his class. 

“Alright Ashely, we’re all ready whenever you are.” Mrs. Harper said, her voice holding the tiniest bit of encouragement as she was well aware of what it meant to stand in front of a group of people your own, preparing to give a speech. 

Intimidating and nauseous was the least word to describe it. 

“H–hello everyone,” Ashely began with a wave just like he had practiced in front of his grandparents all week, minus the stutter. “Today I’m going to be talking about my daddy.” Holding up the drawing he had just recently finished in class, Gabriel angled his body in the direction, wanting to get a better view of not into the boy, but the picture he had also drawn. 

He had expected to see some sort of business man or at least a picture of a man in his neck in some cheaply drawn flower field, the basic, however, what he saw was far from what he had expected, causing his smile to drop. 

a boy 

The man Ashely had drawn as his ‘father‘ was one in a white space suit, floating cordless–ly around in the space he colored black. 

Holding the picture up high, unaware of the effect it had on one individual, Ashely continued on with his week long planned speech. “This is my daddy. My daddy is a spaceman who lives up in space. Although he doesn’t spend much time with my mommy and I, he watches and protects us from above. And for that, I love him.” He concluded his rather shut speech with. that. 

“I–is that all?” Mrs. Harper questioned. 

Cocking his head to the side, silently asking if there was meant to be more, Ashely responded. “Yes?” 

“A–alright. You did good. Everyone clap for Ashely.” 

The classroom erupted with sounds of applause and Ashely smiled at his performance and the congrats that followed after. 

Walking back to his seat, he briefly stole a glance in Gabriel’s direction, expecting to see the male clapping and smiling warmly at him, but much to his surprise, Gabriel wasn’t even looking at him, talk less clapping. 

Ashely’s face fell as he slid back into his seat, visibly saddened by Gabriel’s expression with one thought on his mind. 

‘Is he mad about something I said?” 

Damn right Gabriel was mad, but not about anything the little one had said, but rather because

while listening to Ashely’s speech, a brutal discovery had hit him.
