From Secret Wife to Queen of Her World

Chapter 12 Marrying You Is My Biggest Mistake

Jaxon trembled a little in Hazel's arms.

Hazel's voice was indifferent, tinged with a hint of anger. "Gabriel, this is an adult matter. Don't involve the child."

Gabriel's piercing gaze fell on her, his cold eyes now reflecting a similar sense of displeasure. He said, "Hazel, isn't it enough that I allowed you to have regular video calls with the kids? "Who the heck gave you the nerve to stir up the kids and try to come between me and them? "Don't forget that it was you who wanted the divorce in the first place, and you were the one who walked out on the kids. How dare you show up now and demand custody of them?"

Under the blazing sun, Gabriel stood tall and straight in a black outfit. His already aloof and indifferent demeanor was further accentuated. His deep, cold eyes seemed to radiate an air of paternal dignity. Over the years, he had been a hands-on dad to his two sons, not wanting them to grow up as kids who depended solely on their mom.

Upon seeing this, Gianna immediately stepped forward and fanned the flames.

"Hazel, your words are so heart-wrenching! Have you any idea what Gabriel's been through these past two years? He's been working like crazy during the day and then looking after Jaxon and Joshua at night. He's even ended up in the hospital a few times because he was so worn out."

Gianna's eyes turned red as she spoke.

"You don't feel sorry for him, but I do! So, can you please not appear in front of Gabriel and the kids anymore in the future?"

With that, she tried to pull Jaxon from Hazel's arms, but Hazel wouldn't let her anywhere near Jaxon. Jaxon tightly hugged Hazel's neck, feeling increasingly aggrieved.

Gianna, however, began to target Jaxon.

She deliberately set a trap. Jaxon, you were all excited in the car, saying you wanted to play with me. But then you saw your mom and just acted like I wasn't even there. Were you scared mom would think you were being disloyal to her or something?"

"No way! My mom wasn't like that!"

Jaxon quickly leaped to Hazel's defense, his voice louder than usual.

Your

Gianna looked sad, tears streaming down her face as she said, "Jaxon, are you being mean to me? You used to be such a polite kid. Have you forgotten how good I've been to you over the past two years?" Jaxon wanted to explain but was at a loss for words.

The more anxious he got, the more flustered he felt.

he hugged Hazel's neck and cried,

"Mom...

Finally, with tears in Feeling the wetness on her neck, Hazel could no longer hold back her anger. "Gianna, will you ever stop?

you want a kid, why don't you just have your own? Is it that Gabriel won't give you one, or that you can't get pregnant?"

Hazel continued to sneer, "Or do you just enjoy stealing other women's husbands and grabbing. their kids?"

you say such Gianna's face turned pale, tears welling up in her eyes as she said, "Hazel, how could things about me? Over the past two years, I treated Jaxon and Joshua like they were my own... When Gabriel heard Hazel's words, a sharp pang shot through his heart. He gave a bitter, self-mocking laugh. Hazel didn't catch Gabriel's expression, but Gianna did. The overwhelming sense of crisis made her clutch her skirt tightly.

She pretended to be sad and fell to the side.

Catching the sight of Leila out of the corner of her eye, Gianna pulled the same stunt, using her fake nails to scratch Leila's arm in an attempt to tick Hazel off and make her do something rash. Jaxon saw it first and forcefully pushed Gianna away. "You are not allowed to harm Leila!" Hazel also noticed Gianna's actions and quickly held Leila in her arms, bowing her head to check if Leila was injured..

The little one was scared and cried out, "Mom, I'm scared."

Her little face, usually pink and soft, turned red from crying.

Jaxon watched as Hazel held Leila in her arms and soothed her. Tears also streamed down his face.

Hazel held Leila in one hand and wiped Jaxon's tears with the other. "Leila, be good. I'm here. Jaxon, don't cry. Leila is fine."

The noise in the parking lot drew the attention of people inside.

Lucia couldn't reach Hazel's phone and hurriedly rushed over with Hazel had just managed to calm Jaxon down.

Gabriel said with a stern look on his face, "Jaxon, who taught you to push others Hazel looked up, unable

with a poker face, and she burst into laughter out of anger.

No matter if it was two years ago or two years later, no matter if it was his wife or his sons, they were not as important as Gianna in his heart.

it would be a pain in Hazel's heart. If this matter wasn't resolved today, She kissed Leila's cheek, handed her over to Lucia, and then squatted down to pick up Jaxon.

Jaxon, stung by Gabriel's words, naturally hugged her neck tightly, hiding his face against her shoulder. Hazel glanced at Lucia, who nodded in agreement.

They instinctively covered the kids' ears.

Gabriel, why are you so protective of Gianna?

"Back then, you made me say sorry, and now you want my son to do the same. Does your bond. with her only stay intact with our apologies?"

Gabriel didn't catch Gianna's subtle moves. All he saw was Jaxon pushing Gianna for no apparent

reason.

His gaze darkened, and his voice dropped to an icy tone. "My children will not act unreasonably." Gabriel looked into Hazel's eyes and said slowly, "You spoiled him, didn't you?" Hazel's ears were buzzing, and she felt numbness in her chest.

Gazing into the cold and noble handsome face in front of her, she felt that the five years she had spent with him were nothing but a cruel joke.

Wrong. I am totally wrong."

Hazel's eyes were locked onto Gabriel's face. Had it not been for the kids being there, she would have really wanted to give him a slap.

"Marrying you was the biggest mistake I've ever made!"

Looking into her sad eyes, Gabriel felt his throat close up.

His pale fingers balled up into fists, trying to hold back the emotions that were bubbling up. "You jumped

to blame Jaxon without even asking why. Is that how a father should act? How do you think he will learn to trust his parents in the future?"

Gabriel looked at Jaxon's teary eyes, and his heart softened.

He reached out his hand and said slowly, "Jaxon, I didn't scold but you shouldn't push Gianna for no reason. Apologize to Gianna, and then we can go have some fun." Hazel held Jaxon and avoided his outstretched hand, her voice dripping with contempt "Gabriel, I seriously question how you ended up as CEO of the Campbell Group. I wouldn't even

She glanced at Gianna, a look of realization dawning on her face.

"Yeah, being around someone so two-faced and hypocritical all the time, it's no wonder you'd blind and deaf, let alone think clearly."

In the past,

when dealing with a tough business partner, Gabriel would stay cool and detached. like a machine without feelings.

But at that moment, his anger was easily ignited by her.

She closed her eyes and reaffirmed her thoughts.

"Gabriel, you are right. Children have the right to choose between their mother and father. Since that's the case, let's give them the right to choose."
