Chapter 205 Leila, I Am Your Father

Seeing the woman’s suddenly pale face, Hazel looked directly into her eyes, but the smile did not reach the depths of her eyes.
“It seems that Ms. Morris knew.”
Emma suppressed her inner panic and replied with a smirk, “I didn’t know.”
She handed the delicate box in her hand to Gabriel and said, “Mr. Campbell, Mr. Nelson said the watch has been repaired. I’m going back to the office first.”
After the people hurriedly left.
Hazel informed Gabriel about the doubts surrounding Emma’s identity, advising him to change secretaries and to avoid assigning her to important projects as much as possible.
“I didn’t want the company’s affairs to affect the two children.”
She turned around and walked into the yard, but in the next second, she heard the man’s voice behind her, sounding both tentative and resolute.
“Are you sure it was two, not three?”
Hazel thought she would feel anxious upon hearing these words, but she didn’t.
There was even a sense of relief as he finally asked.
She turned around and looked at the man, her eyes calm. “If you are willing to give Leila more care and love, as a mother, I will not refuse.”
Faced with her calmness, a surge of anger welled up in the man’s heart.
“And his father, wouldn’t he refuse as well?”
He gazed at the woman’s face, which was so close to him, and couldn’t tell whether it was joy or sorrow in his heart.
“Or rather, Leila’s father was actually… me?”
Gabriel finally asked.
The result of the first paternity test, he only checked whether he and Leila were not father and daughter, but forgot to check whether Hazel and the child were not mother and daughter.
Leila had dimples on both sides of her cheeks, just like him.
And there was Arthur’s firm statement: “This child must be our Campbell family’s child.”
It made him deeply aware of some overlooked details.
After receiving the paternity test results for Hazel and the child, it was confirmed that they were not mother and daughter.
Gabriel had an instant realization.
Although he was also unsure why Leila’s test results turned out this way, anyone who saw the resemblance between Hazel and her mother would never doubt their relationship.
Reverse inference.
Hazel was not unaware that he wanted to verify the paternity of the child, but rather knowingly chose to do so.
Just to make him see the result and give up after that.
At this moment, Gabriel couldn’t care less if he had made her angry.
He said in a hoarse voice, “You did it on purpose, didn’t you?”

Hazel’s eyes flickered slightly, and there was a slight flaw in her plan.

for her and their daughter.
She really didn’t expect him to do a paternity test
Hazel first glanced in the direction Emma had left, and once she was sure that the person had left, she said to the man, “Come in with me.”
Gabriel followed her into the room with steady steps.
She glanced at her daughter playing puzzles in the toy room and took the man to the more private study.
The man took a deep breath and asked again, “Leila’s father, it’s me, right?”
Hazel asked him, “Did you really want to be Leila’s father?”
The man in front of her advanced step by step, his sharp eyes filled with anticipation. His pupils remained still, focused

The pink foxes seen everywhere were all bought by the man in front of her.
She lowered her gaze and pondered, as the transitions of a few breaths passed. In her heart, she made a decision,

Little did she know, she said, “Alright, from today onwards, she will be your daughter. I hope you keep your word and truly treat her as your own daughter, spoiling her.”
Gabriel said in a deep voice, “What do you

Hazel replied somewhat perfunctorily, “Um, your daughter.”

bit stifled inside. Although Gabriel had already achieved the desired goal, he always felt a Originally, the communication of the matter had reached this point, which could be considered harmonious. Unfortunately, Gabriel said, “Let’s remarry for the sake of providing a healthy environment for our child.” Hazel heard and said, “Accepting our daughter is fine, but remarriage is out of the question.” The atmosphere in the study froze once again.
Time passed by minute by minute, Gabriel had his own pride, which was the biggest concession he had made so far.
Gabriel tightened his hand around the watch box, his gaze heavy. “I wanted to hear a definite answer.” Understanding his meaning, she lifted her gaze and met Gabriel’s eyes, the man’s cold gaze fixed on her.
Hazel nodded gently.
Upon hearing her answer, Gabriel’s last trace of worry in his heart was also dispelled, and the corners of his mouth silently curved upwards.
He had a daughter.
His daughter was a lovely and adorable child.
Knowing how much she cared about her daughter, Gabriel took the initiative to clarify, “I didn’t come to take custody of Leila.”
“So, you didn’t need to reject me like this.”

break up this family, but to join it.”
Leila, hiding at the doorway, not only eavesdropped on their conversation but also opened a pack of snacks and happily crunched away.
Gabriel and Hazel, who heard the sound, turned around simultaneously.
I saw
a door that had been pushed open slightly, and Leila sitting on a small deer chair.
Leila innocently blinked her eyes, squinted and smiled.
She put down the snacks in her hand, wiped her hands, and ran into the house.
Leila: It’s her turn for the scene.
The man crouched down, his eyes never leaving her face, his voice trembling lightly as he reached out to catch the force of her running towards him.
“Leila…”

“Mom, hug me.”
Gabriel’s dark eyes were filled with deep affection and tenderness as he said, “Leila, I was your father.”
The child’s face showed no surprise or shock.
She nodded and calmly spoke words that surprised Gabriel.
“I knew it~”
Leila raised a smiling face and continued, “I knew it a long time ago, Leila is super smart!”
Gabriel choked on his throat and couldn’t speak.
He finally understood why Hazel didn’t deny that the child was his daughter, it turned out that Leila knew everything.
“Leila, Mom has something to tell you…”
Dad, these two words she was not used to saying, but Leila understood. She kissed Hazel’s cheek.
“Leila loved her mother the most.”
The butler, who had been waiting at the elevator entrance from a distance, hurried over to take the child downstairs when he saw Leila coming out of the study.
After the children left, Hazel turned her gaze back to Gabriel and asked, with a serious expression on her face, “How are you planning to handle Emma’s situation?”
Just at that moment, the box in Gabriel’s hand made a strange sound. She raised her hand to signal the man to be quiet and took the box from his hand.
Opened, the watch inside was not valuable.
But there were some familiar faces.
Hazel took out the watch and brought it closer to the instrument on the desk, and the buzzing sound became more pronounced.
She opened her mouth, but no sound came out: “There is eavesdropping.”
Hazel gestured for Gabriel to continue speaking.
“Emma did not make any mistakes at work. The Campbell Group cannot dismiss employees arbitrarily, as it may easily dishearten other employees. What I was thinking is…”

He followed her lead and spoke, his voice getting softer and softer. If there were indeed listening devices and someone on the other side was eavesdropping, they would surely increase the volume at this moment in order to hear more clearly.
Hazel opened the specially made drawer and gently placed the watch inside, closed the drawer, and opened a certain app on her phone, adjusting the volume to the maximum limit.
The drawer with special soundproof design, with its perfect effect, blocked the harsh sound inside the drawer. However, the person on the other side suffered.
In a black car outside Top Villa, Emma hurriedly dropped the earphones from her ears, but it was already too late.
That sound was too harsh, with decibels far exceeding the level that the human body can normally withstand. The brain was stimulated by this sound to the point of dizziness.
“Ms. Morris, your two ears were bleeding!”
