From Secret Wife to Queen of Her World

Chapter 21 Leaving Father, Staying With Brother

The little one had bright big eyes, with tears the size of beans hanging from them. She sniffed and stared at his deep eyes.

Leila: "Then the uncle laughed."

Gabriel avoided her gaze and said, "I didn't love to smile."

The fair and tender little face drooped disappointingly, with the clear and watery eyes visibly filled with a sense of loss. The mouth pursed, and the head lowered.

Watching the little person in his arms about to cry, Gabriel could only tug at the corners of his mouth, although stiff, it could be considered a smile.

Leila immediately went from tears to laughter.

She smiled brightly at Hazel next

to her and leaned her little face closer.

Hazel helplessly looked at her, wondering why her daughter wasn't afraid of Gabriel, even though his face was as dark as ink.

She wiped Leila's face with a tissue.

Just cleaned, the little one turned his head and smiled at Gabriel, shaking his little face at him.

Leila: "It was clean."

She swayed too forcefully, and her whole body lost balance and fell to the side.

Gabriel and Hazel acted at the same time.

The man pulled the little guy back a step ahead of her.

Hazel nervously said, "Leila."

Leila giggled and said, "Mom, Leila is fine."

She turned her head and kissed Gabriel's face again, "Thank you, uncle."

Hazel saw that she was fine, and her worried heart relaxed.

Seeing the man's gloomy face, Hazel quickly reached out her hand to the child and said, "Leila, come to mommy's arms."

Little did she know, the little one pushed Jaxon and Joshua towards her, her clear eyes glaficed around, and she nestled in Gabriel's arms with a mischievous smile.

Leila: "Mom carried my brother."

She knew that her mother had always wanted two brothers.

The remaining....

There was only this indifferent uncle.

Leila, with her clever little brain, was feeling a bit troubled. Her mother is also her brother's mother, so does that mean her brother's father is also her father?

But this "dad" is not likable, mom only wants two brothers, what should we do?

Noticing Leila's focused game, Gabriel lowered his head.

Leila smiled sweetly at him, reaching out to embrace his arm as the two little lovebirds swayed and swirled.

Gabriel softened his heart and embraced her in his arms.

Finally, Gabriel held Leila in his arms, while Hazel held their two sons, and they took many photos together.

The little one would occasionally look up at Gabriel, and when she saw that the man wasn't smiling, her eyes would start turning red again.

There was no choice, Gabriel had to go along with her.

Unspeakable and inexplicable emotions flowed slowly in his heart.

Took a photo.

The three little ones were like dividing toys, one for you and one for me, until all the photos were shared.

Leila picked out a card from her own and gave it to Gabriel, her teary eyes shining brightly, filled with joyful little stars.

She looked up at him and said, "Uncle, this is for you."

The man silently took it over, but his gaze froze the moment he saw the photo. This photo...

It looked just like

a family portrait of a family of five.

Leila nestled in his arms with an innocent smile on her face, her fair little hand clutching his black shirt, while in the photo, his lips curved slightly upwards, his gaze falling on Hazel beside him, who was holding Jaxon and Joshua, the three of them smiling with similar and charming

eye curves.

Hazel was right next to Gabriel and, upon seeing the photo, she also froze for a moment. Looking at her daughter who had returned to her son's side, she pondered and said, "I'm sorry Leila has always liked to share. Please don't mind. When she's not paying attention later throw away the photo."

As soon as the words fell, Gabriel's face immediately turned black.

The man's height was superior, standing much taller than her. Just now, he had been holding the child for

a long time, and his neatly pressed trousers were slightly wrinkled, adding a touch of laziness and casualness to his whole being.

Gabriel looked cold and distant, "In your eyes, am I someone who would casually lose a child's belongings?"

Hazel could smell the scent of his shower gel as they stood too close.

Very familiar.

It was somewhat like the one she loved to use the most during her marriage with him.

She took two steps back, creating distance between her and him.

The man's shallow eyes narrowed, and his noble and restrained demeanor suddenly turned cold His powerful aura left no room for retreat.

Hazel glanced at the time and said gently, "Leila, brother is going home, say goodbye to brother." Jaxon and Joshua both felt a bit reluctant to leave.

Jaxon even directly asked Gabriel, "Dad, can we stay here today?"

The man stood in the light and firmly said, "No, it is not allowed."

Joshua also wanted to stay, and upon hearing him say so, he became disheartened and lowered

Come again tomorrow." Leila was also reluctant to part with them, and she looked towards her mother for help. Hazel sighed and crouched down, hugging three children.

"Jaxon, Joshua, Mom will still pick you up from school tomorrow, okay?" She still didn't know how to face her youngest son, pausing for a moment when she said his name. "Leila, be good. Brother is going to school. Tomorrow, Mom will take you to pick up Brother after school."

The three little people nodded obediently.

Gabriel leaned against the door, with his jet-black hair falling loosely on his forehead, silently watching them.

Leila was helping her brother pack his small backpack.

Gabriel's emotionless voice came from behind her, "Do you think you can just take custody like this?" Hazel turned around to look at him and said lightly, "I just wanted to spend more time with the two children."

The man's deep and icy eyes, as if they could see through her soul.

His gaze

drifted towards Leila, complex and indiscernible. "Since you have already had a daughter with another man, what are you doing to care about my child?"

Gabriel's tone suddenly changed, and he said sharply, "Hazel, one should not be too greedy! Hazel was deeply affected by his words, causing her chest to heave dramatically She glanced worriedly at the children inside the house, arranged for someone to watch ver them, and then pulled Gabriel's arm and went to the study.

"Gabriel, besides providing tadpoles, what else did you do? I carried the pregnancy for nine months, breastfed them, took them to the hospital when they were sick, and took care of them. personally for four years."

"Having been a father for two years, you wouldn't forget those four years when you neglected the two children, would you? Who was away on business on their birthdays? Who never attended any parent- teacher meetings at their kindergarten?"

"It was you!"

Hazel gritted her teeth, her eyes filled with suppressed anger. Gabriel, who was greedy after all?" Chapter 21 Leaving Father, Staying W

The man was left speechless by her string of words, and the woman's cheeks turned red with excitement as she averted her gaze when he looked at her.

Gabriel's voice was hoarse as he said, "If you cared so much about the two children, why did you choose to divorce instead of fighting for custody?"

Hazel sneered, "Did I not want to? Back then, as an orphan, how could I possibly compete with you, the heir of the Campbell family?"

Gabriel instinctively responded, "So you're not getting
