Chapter 203 Two Years Ago, In The Hospital...

Gabriel

remembered past holidays, and he would habitually have

someone prepare jewelry.

As far as he knew, the wealthy wives in the circle all liked jewelry, and he thought Hazel would too. But after Leila's 'reminder," he suddenly realized that perhaps she had never liked it.

Faced with his sudden question, Hazel paused for a moment before answering, Talking about this now is meaningless."

Divorce was not a process for men to reflect upon.

The marriage has ended.

Hazel didn't like to always reminisce about the past.

She stood at the door and waved to Leila, "Sweetie, it's time for us to go home."

Gabriel approached her and said, "I felt it was meaningful."

"Since you didn't like it, why didn't you tell me earlier? If you had told me that you didn't like these things, I wouldn't have continued....* He remembered that Hazel was delighted when she received jewelry for the first time.

When did it start to change?

Halfway through the conversation, Gabriel suddenly remembered a figure that had flashed by at a party, thinking at the time that he had mistaken it.

Looking back now, I realize that person might have been Hazel.

He grabbed the woman's wrist who wanted to leave, his deep eyes locked onto hers, "Do you think I also gave gifts to Gianna, so that's why you

don't like me?"

"No," Hazel said, pushing his hand away and taking a step back.

Gabriel's indifferent eyes flickered, step by step pressing on: "The jewelry I gave you was personally

chosen by me. Besides you, I have never given jewelry to any other woman."

He seemed as if Leila had opened his Ren and Du meridians.

Certain details that he had ignored surged into reality from the depths of his mind in an instant. "However, the Campbell Group had collaborating jewelry designers, and when the public relations department sent relevant jewelry to their long-term female clients, they would select from the works of these jewelry designers."

"But the jewelry I gave you, all of them were personally customized by me... I thought you liked them.*

He lowered his gaze and looked at her, with a slight ripple in his eyes, hoping to see some affection in her eyes.

Hazel in front of me was just too rational.

Jumping out of an inappropriate marriage wall, standing outside and looking inside, you can see more clearly than when you were inside.

She did not interrupt Gabriel's words, she just smiled faintly.

After he finished speaking, Hazel responded calmly, "I got it."

Gabriel's thick and stiff long eyelashes trembled slightly before drooping, and his voice became deep and slow: "Hmm, go back slowly.'

Leila, who got on the car early, quietly waited for the

between the two adults to end.

Before she left, she waved goodbye to Gabriel.

The courtyard returned to tranquility.

conversation

The man lowered his head and looked at the velvet gift box in his hand, and found that every piece of jewelry had been adorned with smiley face stickers by Leila.

He watched the back of Hazel and the children as they left, just as Leila turned around and blinked at him, silently tugging at the corners of his mouth.

Daughter, indeed thoughtful.

When Hazel got home, she carried Leila to wash her face and hands.

Leila stood obediently on the little deer chair and washed her hands, playing with the cleansing foam in her hands, and formed a heart shape.

She looked up and smiled at Hazel, saying, "This is for Mom."

Looking at her daughter's increasingly three-dimensional and delicate facial features, her gaze

involuntarily fell on the dimples on both sides of her cheeks. This was the most obvious feature she inherited from Gabriel, even her two brothers didn't have it.

Hazel had also awakened.

Is it unfair for her to not recognize her father?

She washed the child's hands clean, carried her to the wardrobe, and changed her into a more comfortable home outfit.

When changing clothes, Hazel asked her, "Does Leila want Daddy?"

Leila, who had just taken off her coat, looked at it and shook her head.

As if sensing Hazel's worries, Leila nestled into her arms and gave her a hug, saying, "Hazel, you don't need to worry, Daddy."

Whether it's her two older brothers or her loving father, whenever they are compared to her mother, Leila will always choose her mother.

"Mom liked it, Leila liked it."

"Mom didn't want, and Leila didn't want either."

Hazel's eyes turned red.

Hazel continued to change the child's clothes, and when she was dressed, she kissed the child's face and looked at her with a gentle and serious

gaze.

"Leila, if one day you want to recognize your dad, mom won't stop you. You just need to let mom know, okay?"

She handed over the decision-making power to her daughter, and if she truly wants Gabriel to be her father in the future, she will not prevent

Leila nodded hesitantly.

On the other side, Gabriel appeared in the hospital where Hazel had initially been diagnosed with pregnancy, sitting in front of the hospital director.

"Where is the child?"

"I remember the next day after the trending topic, when that woman from the trending topic came to see her, she lost her child due to excessive sadness."

Although the two female nurses were discussing secretly, this floor was all VIP wards, very quiet, and the conversation could be heard very clearly.

After they left, Gabriel came out of the men's restroom across the street, pale-faced. While washing his hands, both of his hands were trembling. He looked at himself in the mirror, remaining silent for a long time.

When he left the hospital, it started raining, and the black Maybach raced on the elevated highway, heading towards the destination.
