Child Of Mine.

Leonica couldn't hide the surprised expression that marred her face at Ashely's words.

She blinked, once, then a second time before uttering the only sentence her mind could manage to conjure.All content © N/.ôvel/Dr/ama.Org.

"What?"

"My...new daddy?" Ashely repeated, this time with hesitance as he quickly sensed the troubling aura emanating from his mother.

Had he said something wrong?

'Fudge!' Cursing his stupid unfiltered mouth, the young boy lowered his head.

Leonica's brows remained furrowed. She wasn't sure what to thAshely wanted Gabriel to be his...new daddy? What? When had the two even gotten so close for Ashely to begin. harboring such thoughts? Or was this perhaps Gabriel's handiwork?

'No,' She shook the thought away as soon as it crossed her mind.

Gabriel was a sly bastard but he had no use corrupting Ashely with such thoughts if he wasn't going to benefit anything from it.

This...this was obviously the handiwork of one thing. The connection shared between father and son. As much as she hated it, seeing Ashely with Gabriel today, told her how much of an influence he had on Ashely.

Being in his presence, Ashely had been genuinely happy, nothing like the previous times she had taken him to the amusement park.

Much to her dismay, Gabriel seemed like the only make capable of making the younger boy happy. But that wasn't right, despite the fact that they were father and son, Gabriel didn't care

for his child.

He was already building another family, long forgetting about the one he had failed to keep standing. She could ignore his nonsense, but for Ashely, an innocent child like him, it would be far too unfair to continue leading him on with an imagination that could never come true.

So without a doubt, it was best to let him off softly.

Sighing, Leonica placed her hand on the boy's shoulder, gently rubbing it. "Ash Honey, Gabriel...he...he can't be your new daddy."

Her confession had Ashely's head snapping up. "Why?" He asked in an almost challenging yet sad manner. "Why can't he?" Child Of Mine.

Her confession had Ashely's head snapping up. "Why?" He asked in an almost challenging yet sad manner. "Why can't he?"

"Look, I understand your feelings towards him, trust me, I do, but he can't become your daddy Ash and that's because," There was a pause, her gaze gravitating towards the hand resting on her son's shoulder as she thought back to what Angelina had said in the amusement park.

She was pregnant with Gabriel's child and soon, they'd be starting a family, there would be no space for Ashely, not that she ever planned for their to be one.

"Because honey, that ma- Gabriel, he's starting his own family soon."

"Starting his own family soon?" Ashely cocked his head in confusion.

Seeing the confusion written all over her son's face, Leonica thinned her lips, closing her eyes as she gently hummed in thought, trying to find the simplest way to explain to the young boy.

After a few seconds, finding a suitable explanation, and discovering the easiest way to but the situation to rest, she shifted closer to the boy.
