Pregnant and Divorced, The Billionaire's Regret のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 71 - チャプター 80

“Just because I Chose to keep quiet, doesn’t mean you should take me for a fool, Angelina.”“What...what do you mean?” The brunette stuttered. Gabriel’s earlier words had knocked some of her missing sense back into her, returning her attitude to the calm, meek and weak damsel Gabriel knew her once to be. “I’d never take you for a fool, Gabriel. I love you.”“Yeah? And I'm supposed to believe that?” Reaching into the pocket of his leather jacket, Gabriel fished out his phone whilst asking.“Do you doubt it?” The female questioned back.Not answering her question immediately, Gabriel tinkered with his phone for a few seconds, a minute at most, before he tossed it into her lap. “Nowadays, I really do doubt that.”Looking down at the phone, Angelina became speechless at the video that was playing.It was surveillance footage from the night of Stellar’s birthday party, showing that Leonica had been the one who stepped into the room. And the later part, early in the morning, showed the very

A day had gone and despite Gabriel's audacious accusation, Leonica couldn't stop her Mary-Sue like mind from still pondering about Angelina wellbeing. Seated in her office, she flipped through yet another file with an absent mind, heaving a sigh at the end. Kennedy who was seated in a chair in the far corner of her office, nearly swallowed by the heap of files, generated from half of the work Leonica had unintentionally neglected over the days, glanced her way, instantly noticing the zoned-out look on her face.It was obvious that something was on her mind, and Kennedy, more than anyone, knew that the moment something plagued his employer's mind, she was either slow at work, got the work done, but however with several errors which he had to later on correct, or doesn't get any work done at all.A painful flaw in her almost perfect personality that she definitely had to work on fixing.After a moment of internal debate, whether to remain silent and bury his nose back into his work, or

April fools, that was what Angelina wished today was.But it wasn’t. Currently, it was May 3, April’s fool was far from over. So that meant everything little thing Gabriel was saying was not a prank.Tears began to pull in her eyes, and she snapped without holding back, yelling at the top of her lungs. “You... you don’t love me anymore? There’s no future for you and I? what the h*ll are you saying Gabriel?!”Gabriel remained quiet even though he had been addressed. He had prepared for something like this, her outrage and on flowing tears, so he wasn’t in the least bit moved.When Angelina noticed this, eyes locking onto his indifferent and unfazed ones, she felt a painful sting in her chest. It was the kind of pinch one felt once they had realized something painful that they had been trying to fight off. And for Angelina, her realization in this case, was that Gabriel’s words were true.He wasn’t lying to get rid of her but telling the truth. He actually no longer loved her.But why?

~Thirty minutes earlier~Leonica had just finished sorting through the first batch of attending guests when Grace glided down the stairs alone. She glanced up the stairs, expecting the little demon to rush down in his usual energetic state, but he did.“Where’s Ash?” She asked when her son was nowhere to be seen.“The young master fell asleep right after his bath.” Grace informed as she descended the last flight of stairs and picked up the dusting rag she had dropped off before going upstairs, about to resume her duties. When she noticed Leonica’s unwavering stare on her, she asked. “Should I have stopped him? Perhaps I should have kept him awake so he could sleep better at night?”“Uh, no. Not at all. It’s just,” There was a pause in her sentence in which Leonica chuckled to herself. “It’s not every day you see Ash fall asleep right after a bath.”Understanding the reason for her long stare, Grace nodded her head. “Indeed. The Child must have been really exhausted.” She reasoned, rea

The air in the room had suddenly turned stiff after Ashley’s words. But the boy remained smiling, clearly not knowing the meaning of the glances his parents exchanged.Had they just heard right? Ashley, saved by Angelina? The very same Angelina Fernandez they knew? Scheming, witchy and all?Uh-uh, no way in hell that actually happened. But it was also clear that Ashley wasn’t lying. The bundled demon of joy looked far too innocent to be lying. At times Leonica even feared that the kid didn’t even know how to lie and now was no different.So, it was either his brain was still a bit muddled from the entire experience or the doctors had given him some sort of shot that messed up his entire mind and made him mouth speak all kind of rubbish, or perhaps both.Leonica chugged her son’s strange behavior and unreal words up to the two. Chuckling, she gently brought his hands down. “Ash, Honey, tell me, do you feel alright? Do I.. need to question the doctor about your shots?”“Nope.” The child
