After Divorce, Billionaire Ex Found Me Pregnant
Chapter 69 Checkmate.

Chapter 69: Chapter 69 Checkmate.

“What?” Leonica’s face was the mirror of her emotions.

Confused, utterly confused, yet curious.

What had Angelina said to Gabriel five years ago that caused their divorce? That was an answer she had thought of...craved for the first two years of her being in Colorado. But as time went on, it was safe to say she began to move on, meeting new people and making new memories. Memories that overshadowed the painful ones she no longer wanted to remember.

Thankfully, after three years of living in Colorado, warmly welcomed by her new neighborhood, Leonica stopped craving answers to that one question that haunted her. And soon, she completely forgot it.

That was until today.

“Do I want to know?” She uttered, watching as Angelina nodded her head, brunette ponytail bouncing around at the gesture.

Unsurprisingly, her past self would have jumped at the opportunity. But currently as she is, that answer no longer mattered to her.

The past is the past and she refused to continue living in it.

Shaking her head, she answered. “No, I don’t.”

Angelina’s smile faded in an instant. Ye another response she had not planned for. “What?”

“I said no. I’m done living in the past Angelina. And you should do the same.”

Immediately after her words, Angelina barked a loud laugh. “Ha! Look at the hypocrite talk.”

“Pardon?”

“‘Done living in the past,’ you say? If you were so sure, then why did you keep Ashley? Isn’t he a part of the past you’d wish to forget?”

“What?” Leonica asked once more, this time however, with a tinge of irritancy in her voice. Angelina flashed a crocked smile at this and probed on.

“You heard me. That child of yours, he’s a past mistake, isn’t he? So why keep him? Why not spare all of us the trouble and...” She snapped her finger. “Get rid of him-”

“Angelina!” Leonica slammed her palm against the table, the loud noise instantly shutting the chattering female up. Thankfully there was no one other than the servers present to witness the situation. “Watch your tongue,” She warned. “After all, just like me, you too are about to become a mother. You wouldn’t want any harm to befall your little one, now, would you?”

“What?” It was Angelina’s turn to become somewhat speechless.

But unlike her, Leonica derived no joy from that. Her main joy was from seeing Gabriel crumble, that was far more satisfying than any expression Angelina could make.

Clearing her thoughts with a sigh, she spoke. “I have no goal to destroy whatever it is you have going on with Gabriel. Right now, all I care about is my son.”

“There you go again, being one of the world’s biggest fucking liars.” Angelina hissed. “Same storyline, same wordings, I’ve seen bitches like you. Dealt with them.”

Leonica shook her head. “You’re crazy.”

“I’m crazy? Ha, says the woman who can lie as if she’s merrily taking a sip from her usual morning coffee.” Leonica could only roll her eyes at Angelina’s words.

There she went again, being extra dramatic towards a situation she was entirely creating in her head.

Woman really needed to be checked into a mental asylum.

“If you truly did care about only your son, then why did you come back here? And not to mention your scheme of trying to have another child with Gabriel in other to save that son of yours.”

Her words shocked Leonica, for two reasons mainly. Firstly, her outrageous accusation that Leonica would have rolled her eyes at, if not for the second reason.

How did Angelina know of Doctor Bailey’s suggestion?

“Firstly, how do you know that? And secondly, its artificial insemination. We’re doing Artificial insemination.” Leonica tried to explain.

Yeah, like that was going to help Angelina’s jealousy. The fact still stood, Leonica was about to bear yet another of Gabriel’s child, yet she couldn’t even bear one.

“You know what?” Standing up, she flashed the brunette an insincere smile. “You’re crazy and I’m done here.” She said and was about to walk away when Angelina stood up, blocking her path.

“Get out of my way.” she demanded.

“Not yet. I just need you to answer one last question.” Reaching forward, she suddenly grabbed Leonica’s hand and pulled her closer. “Who do you think Gabriel would choose if he were to walk right through that door and witness your cruelty in action?” she asked in a tone barely above whisper.

Before Leonica had the chance to mole over her words, the bell at the top of the restaurant’s door jingled and in walked Gabriel.

And at that moment, the moment he looked their way, Angelina’s words clicked together in Leonica’s brain.

“Checkmate, Leonica.” Angelina whispered, her smile fading as she pulled Leonica closer and in one swift movement, pushed herself to the floor.

With a dull thud, her body landed on the floor, followed by her cry of pain.
