SWNOVELS Chapter 70
"Mr. BRYCE PLEASE GIVE A STATEMENT."
"3. Bryce, please say something. Me"
Entering his car, the rest of the reporter's words died off. From the other end, the press banged on his window demanding answers to their questions. That dicht bother Gabriel as much as their gates on Ashley and Leonica had. He knew what that meant.
They were the press, and the press never missed a chance to stir up a good story when given an opportunity. And an opportunity they had been given.
Gabriel was more than a hundred percent sure that they would go after the duo, Ashley especially. And then once they found out that Ashley was his son, they'd spin one useless scandalos story around him, Angelina, Leonica and the poor innocent child. And as juicy and seat warming as that sounded to readers and viewers alike, it was equally trammatic and problematic to Ashley who is only but a child,
And as his father, Gabriel would be damned to sit back and allow that to happen. Thankfully he knew just who could help him prevent that
Pulling out his phone, he quickly found Lloyd's phone number and dialed it. A heartbeat later and the king of the media organization picked. "Fancy to catch you calling at this time of the day. So, tell me, what is it this time around? Who broke your heart?" Lloyd joked about the first chance he

Gabriel as usual played his jokes off and chose to remain serious, "Now's not the time to joke, Lloyd." The stern tone of his voice educated Lloyd enough about the type of situation he was facing.

Having his friend's full attention gave Gabriel the courage to continue. "I need you to do something. It concerns your expertise." He informed,
"Alright, I'm listening"
Meanwhile, Leonica had just returned home with Ashley. Her house and car keys jiggled together as she tossed them into the silver plate placed at the door. Handing her coat and Ashley's to the housekeeper that welcomed them, she sighed out in exhaustion. What a heck of a day. Who would have expected them to get swarmed right in front of the bospital with all sorts of reporters?
Leonica clicked her tongue in disinterest as she sank down onto the couch. Beside her, Ashley took his seat and glanced at her once she sensed that she wasn't in the best mood.
Swallowing the reluctance that had been eating inside since the ride home, Ashley

From the corner of her eyes, Leonica glanced at her son, but she did not answer his question. Ashley was far too young to under the emotions in her heart
As his mother' silence dragged on, Ashley dared to speak more. "Don't worry mommy, I'll make daddy apologize to you," Climbing onto her lap, he held both her cheeks in between his palms, "Daddy angered you, didn't he? I'll make him apologize. Ah, how about he buys us ice cream. Tons and Tons of Ice cream as an apology. Would you stop being angry at him then?"
Seeing the sparks in her son's eyes as he spoke of Gabriel, Leonica could no longer remain silent and asked, "Why do you...Like your daddy that much?" Ashley grinned and his answer was very unexpected. "Because daddy loves Me and mummy just as much!" "What?" Leonica was stunned into a speechless state.
Taking this opportunity, Ashley crawled off her lap and grabbed the television remote, tuning into his favorite carton station,
Leonica remained speechless for a few seconds more and just as she was about to question Ashley about what he meant; her phone began to ring Pausing briefly, she looked at her phone and her expression completely soured when she saw who was calling. Nonetheless, she reached for the phone, standing up and making sure she had walked a well distance away "What do you want, Angelina?

The other end of the line was silent for a few seconds before the voice belonging to the questioned woman spoke, "Pleasant hearing from you too, Leonica.
