Chapter 92: Chapter 92 Two Months, That’s The Time Limit.
“So Leonica, what do you say?” Gabriel asked with clear hints of expectancy in his voice.
The air in the room thickened with tension as Leonardo, ever the voice of reason that Leonica was forever grateful to have beside her, spoke up before her heart could offer a response to the ridiculous proposition Gabriel had offered.
"Whether she agrees to that proposal of yours, it’s a fact, stated by the doctor himself that getting another baby from the original parents can’t guarantee a hundred percent successful match," he pointed out, his gaze steady. He dismissed Gabriel’s stare when the older male turned once again to look at him. Instead, he focused on his younger sister who looked like she was clearly contemplating Gabriel’s proposal.
Could he blame her, Gabriel was a sweet talker; even he had almost mistaken the devil for a knight in shining armor a minute ago. So what was the guarantee that his sister, Leonica, the woman who had fallen in love with him once, and was clearly still in love with him, wouldn’t bite his words?
Devil or saint, Leonardo truly didn’t care who his sister ended up with. What mattered was that Leonica followed her heart; because if her heart demanded she end up with the devil then he was a hundred percent sure she could change him into an angel in a matter of months.
Pushing himself off the wall he had been resting on during the entire ordeal, he took a step forward, hand shoved into his pocket. "Follow your heart, Leonica. Choose the right man to be the father of your second child."
"What I mean is, I don’t want you to get harmed due to an impulsive decision," he explained after seeing the look of confusion somewhat written on Leonica’s face. "Having a baby is not a simple choice and definitely not one that should be made in the heat of a situation. I understand that Ashley’s future is riding on this, but I suggest that you take some time and think this through. Perhaps a month or two and during that time, you should consider seeing other men. If you still can’t find a more suitable man after that, then you can consider having a child with Gabriel."
Gabriel’s expression darkened at Leonardo’s words and the fact that he had so boldly uttered it in front of him and he interjected, "I am still Ashley’s father.” His reminder drew the attention of both siblings back to him. When Leonica’s gaze especially landed on him, he purposely lowered his voice, sounding less angry than Leonardo’s bizarre suggestion had made him. “I won’t accept—"
Leonardo cut him off with a firm retort. "You are Ashley’s father, but you are not Leonica’s husband anymore, you accepting it or not has nothing to do with Leonica’s choice if she does indeed decide to find another man to bear a child with, Which I strongly suggest she does. And more over this advice is for both of you. Gabriel can seek out other women as well; no one’s going to paint you at cheater this time around."
Anger flared in Gabriel’s eyes at Leonardo’s words. He was very much aware what he meant. “Being painted a cheater or not has nothing to do with this situation, Leonardo Romero.” He said sternly. “And moreover, even if Doctor Bailey had made the suggestion, I don’t intend on doing it.” He turned his attention back to Leonica and added. “Leonica’s the only woman who I want bearing my children.”
Much to his dismay, Leonica shook her head, disagreeing with his words. “No, I think Leonardo is right,” She said in a calm manner. Thankfully, Leonardo had spoken up before she did; his words had given her the opportunity to clear her head and think, actually registering Doctor’s Bailey’s words that it was not a must to conceive with the original parent of the child.
“What? Right, how?” Gabriel questioned.
“With everything going on, you must be confused, heck, I’m confused. So, it’s only wise that we try and get our heads straight, our feelings straight before making any decision that we’ll regret. I don’t know about you, but I’m taking the advice.”
Frustration etched across Gabriel’s face, frustration directed at Leonardo, to be clear, but he quickly composed himself. "Fine," he declared with a nod. "You do what you want. Two months, that’s the time limit. During that time, I won’t see any other woman and I’ll work on gaining your trust and forgiveness, Leonica.”
“On a normal day, I’d say you should try your best, but that would just be a waste of your time.” Leonica said as she stood up from her seat and forced that one vague smile she normally did around him. “Be a dare and tell the doctor when he returns, that I’ll be taking his suggestion.” With that she excused herself and stepped out of the doctor’s office. Leonardo lingered behind for a few seconds, having a silent but wild spoken staring contest with Gabriel before joining her outside.
“I’ll drive,” He told her as the approached the vehicle. Leonica didn’t bother arguing and handed him the car keys, settling in the passenger seat while he settled in the driver’s seat. With the engine turned on and ready to go, Leonardo took one last look at his sister. “You alright?” He asked.
Leonica smiled. “Yeah, I’m alright.” She lied, but even thought Leonardo knew this, he kept to himself and allowed her sort through the thoughts in her head. Considering everything that had just happened in the doctor’s office that was the least he could do.
Returning to the office, she bade Leonardo goodbye after he had insisted on paying their parents a visit before they further discussed his upcoming role in the company. As she stepped into her office, she was surprised to see Owen seated in one of the chairs.
“Owen? What are you doing here?” She asked as she walked closer, watching as the younger boy rose up from his seat as he spotted her.
“Leonica, thank god you’re here. There’s something I need to tell you.” He said.
Leonica suddenly became tensed because of the look on his face. It looked anything from his usual expression.
His expression looked worried.
