Chapter 76 Owen Lee.
The next day, Leonica sat in the comfort of her living room, looking through the guest list for Ashley’s birthday party. But truthfully, only half of her mind was on the task. The other half was wandering dangerously close to the conversation she had with Gabriel the previous day, more so, the words she had spoken to him.
Now, the white-Ette was a hundred percent aware that Gabriel was a scumbag, she had experienced it firsthand, after all. But for some reason, reasons that she tried time and time again to ignore, she couldn’t help but wonder if she had been too harsh on him.
Even an asshole didn’t deserve such a brutal truth and she could have done a better job at selling it smooth to him, right?
“Ha,” Sighing, she placed the guest list down and ran her fingers through her hair, cursing at her mind for thinking hard and long over something such as this, that she didn’t even want to recall.
Her thoughts were interrupted by the sound of the door opening and shortly after, the housekeeper walked in, holding Ashley’s hand, who had just been dropped off by the school bus. Leonica was quick to fix her expression the moment she spotted her son, putting a smile on her lips rather than the frown that marred her expression seconds ago.
“Mommy!” Ashley skipped up to her with his signature grin, discarding his bag pack as he rounded the couch and jumped into her lap. “I’m back.”
“I can see that,” Leonica giggled and planted a kiss on his forehead. “How was school?”
“Really interesting! You know Mrs. Fisher, my old Agric teacher?”
Leonica’s face scrunched up slightly as her son addressed the woman, who truthfully wasn’t older than forty-five, as old, but none the less, nodded her head. “Mhm, what about her?”
“Well, she brought a monkey to school today, but then, it got lose.” Ashley giggled at the memory. “And... and she had to chase it all around the classroom and nearly- oh?” The child stopped his ranting as the paper on the table caught his attention. Especially when the words ‘Guest List’ Were written in bold letters.
“Mommy, are those the people coming to my birthday?” He asked.
