From Secret Wife to Queen of Her World

Chapter116.

What made her embarrassed was....

Hazel lay on the ground, holding Leila.

Gabriel's eyes trembled slightly. His eyelashes hidden beneath the patch were dense and long.

Leila, who was nestled in Hazel's arms, couldn't resist opening her eyes as she hadn't heard any other sound for a long time.

Leila looked to the left and saw Gabriel.

She looked to the right and saw Hazel.

What the hell?

She turned her head to the left, then to the right, and then reached out and pulled off Gabriel's patch. The sudden light made Gabriel squint his eyes.

Jaxon crouched on the nearby sofa, covering himself with a blanket, while Joshua hid on the side of the sofa, staring wide-eyed.

Finally, Gabriel got used to the light and was able to see Hazel. He could see the fine soft hair on her skin when their eyes met from a close distance.

This distance...

Without waiting for Gabriel to say anything, his face was pushed away by a soft little hand. Leila struggled to sit up from between them.

She angrily exclaimed, "I'm almost crushed!"

At the same time, Hazel also grabbed his hand and pushed him garment around her waist, glaring at him. She picked up okay?"

Joshua ran to Gabriel's side and squatted down, trying hard to help him."Dad, did you hurt yourself when you fell?"

Gabriel rose along with his momentum, his left leg slightly bent, his arm resting on top of it. The green patch was still on, covering one of his eyes.

The sofa was right next to him.

Gabriel was helped up by Joshua and sat down. He touched Joshua's head, saying, "Dad is fine."

Seeing her patch still on his face, Hazel couldn't help but remind him to take it off.

Although it was personal, she felt it strange.

The silk patch was soft and smooth. Gabriel remembered that this patch and Hazel's emerald green pajamas were part of a set.

He reached out his hand and handed it to her."Here you go."

Hazel pursed her lips and said, "Throw it. I don't want it anymore."

Gabriel nodded."Then I'll take it. I haven't been sleeping well lately. I need a patch."

After saying that, he put it into his pants pocket.

Hazel was speechless.

He walked to the cabinet at the entrance of the living room, where the gift bags sent by the bodyguard were placed.

"I brought some local specialties and gifts for you and the children."

What he bought for Jaxon was the second volume of the foreign novel he enjoyed reading. The original author had just finished writing it and it had been printed not long ago.

At the

party, it was heard that Gabriel's son liked his work, so the author gave him a photocopy of the manuscript in advance and wrote a personal blessing to Jaxon.

Jaxon's eyes sparkled brightly."Thank you, Dad!"

Joshua's favorite thing was toys. Gabriel brought him the latest version of Transformers, as well as other limited edition popular toys.

Joshua couldn't let go of it."Wow! I love it SO much. Thank you, Dad!"

The toy for Leila was a custom-made pink fox, adorned with small pink diamonds that sparkled brilliantly under light.

Leila's eyes were wide open. She happily embraced Gabriel.

Leila blurted out, "Thank you, Dad!"

Gabriel was startled by how Leila called him. He watched as Hazel quickly took her away to lecture on her. His gaze darkened, and a heartfelt thought formed in his mind.

Hazel held Leila to the side and whispered to her, "Leila, you are not allowed to call him Daddy anymore."

Leila blinked her eyes and looked at the pink fox in her arms with some hesitation. She liked it.

She lifted it and said, "The toy..."

Knowing that her daughter liked it, Hazel did not stop her from accepting it.

Hazel kissed her cheek and said, "If you like it, you can keep it. Mommy can buy it from Gabriel." Leila's eyes lit up, and she nodded happily.

She quickly went to the toy room to play with her two brothers who were unwrapping gifts.

"How much did the fox figurine cost? I'll transfer the money to you."

"No need."

"It's too expensive. If you don't tell me, I'll estimate it myself."

Hazel lowered her head to transfer money to Gabriel when her phone was snatched away. His voice was filled with displeasure.

"Is it that whenever I buy a gift for Leila, you have to transfer money to me? I don't need you to cash it."

She looked up and met his gaze."Give me back my phone."

Gabriel raised his hand directly. He was 6.3 feet tall, with long arms. Hazel might not even be able to reach the toy even if she jumped.

But, she was stubborn and refused to give up.

She took off her shoes and stepped onto the sofa, slightly jumping up to snatch her phone from his hand, but Gabriel leaned back to avoid her.

The bright light above his head cast a faint shadow on his deep brow bone.

"Gabriel!"

Hazel held Gabriel's shoulder with one hand, preventing him from leaning back, and stood on tiptoe, using her other hand to grab his arm and take her phone.

The cortical sofa cushion was slightly slippery, and her ankle suddenly twisted, causing her to fall towards the coffee table.

Gabriel swiftly caught her and held her in his arms. Her soft and slender waist was embraced by his strong arms.

Hazel felt a sudden pain in her chin as it collided with his shoulder.

Without caring about grabbing her phone, she used both hands to push Gabriel's shoulder.
