Chapter 16 Gianna’s Slander
The tent was set up, and the three children started moving their toys inside, just like little
hamsters.
Jaxon and Joshua were handing toys outside, while Leila, only with her socks on, was inside the tent and placing toys.
After finishing this task, the three of them, tired, had rosy cheeks.
Hazel quickly brought water for them.
Gianna held the kite with a sad and aggrieved expression on her face. She raised her hand towards Joshua and said, “Joshua, don’t you want to fly the kite? I’ve brought you the kite.” Jaxon had already taken off his shoes and entered the tent, turning back to look at Joshua with
cila.
Joshua, who had just taken off one shoe, paused for a moment and looked at the kite in Gianna’s hand, feeling a little tempted.
As soon as Gianna saw that, she immediately went over and grabbed his hand, her eyes fixed on Jaxon inside the tent, and urged, “Jaxon, Joshua, it’s not fun inside the tent. Let’s go out and fly kites together.”
Leila sat obediently in the tent, blinked her eyes, and played with her toys by herself, lowering her head.
She was happy when someone played with her.
If no one played with her, she would play by herself.
This was the most heart–melting character of Leila, exactly like her mother.
Suddenly, there was a small doll in Leila’s palm, and she looked up to meet Jaxon’s smiling eyes. He touched the little ponytail on her head and said to Gianna, “Thank you, Gianna, but I would rather play in the tent.”
The tent was set up next to the camping canopy.
Hazel was cutting fruits for three children. Upon hearing Gianna’s words, she glanced at Jaxon and Joshua.
Seeing the hidden
the hidden excitement in Joshua’s eyes, she knew she guessed right. Although she was Joshua’s biological mother, Joshua had always been close to Giltha
So there was no point in forcing Joshua since it was his nature. She directly said to Joshua, “If you want to go, then go.”
Jaxon turned back to look at Joshua and nodded at him.
Joshua peeked at Hazel and saw that she didn’t care about him at all. This blatant disregard left him distinctly displeased.
Joshua thought, “Fine, I’ll go. Anyway, she didn’t like me.”
He got up and left the tent.
Leila continued playing with the building blocks in her hands, while the two little ponytails on her head swayed back and forth, looking extremely adorable.

Canna Ganna managed to lead Joshua away as she desired. However, due to the high–heeled shoes she was wearing, with each step she took on the lawn, her feet sank.
Forget about running to fly a kite; it was even arduous for her to take just a few steps. Joshua looked at the kite that couldn’t fly up all the time, a little disappointed. Gianna bit her lip and coquettishly asked Gabriel for help, ‘Gabriel, I can’t run anymore. Can you help me?”
Gabriel’s gaze fell upon Joshua’s disappointed eyes, and he stepped forward to take the kite string from her hand.
Not long after, the kite successfully flew into the sky.
Hazel and Lucia removed their shoes as well and stepped into the tent. There, they joined the two children and began playing with building blocks.
The kids eagerly expressed their desire to compete.
“Haze, Leila, and I will be in one team, and the two of you will be in another. Whoever loses the game has to stick a sticky note on their face.”
The two kids were very excited and were ready for the game.
Half an hour passed.
Four people had small sticky notes stuck on their faces.
Leila looked at the yellow sticky note newly attached to her nose and couldn’t help but blow on it, her eyes filled with joy.
The tinkling sound of laughter emanated from the tent, time and again drawing the attention of Joshua, who was flying a kite.
Gabriel’s gaze also fell on the tent several times.
Gianna sat on the chair beside him, her eyes clouded with gloom. After painstakingly being able to be at his side today because she said she would be here to look after the kids, she was resolute that Hazel wouldn’t derail her plans. She was determined to keep Hazel at bay.
She held a strong determination in her heart, thinking, “Hazel, the Campbell family will be mine, and Gabriel belongs to me!
As for your

two sons, in the end, they will have to obediently call me mou
After playing for so long, the two kids were a bit tired.
Right at the moment when the sun outdoors wasn’t overly hot, Hazel led her two children out of the tent. Jaxon spotted his kindergarten classmates. Having got Hazel’s permission, he, together with Leila, went to play with them.
Before leaving, they also called Joshua along.
Hazel’s gaze followed the children all along, with Lucia sitting beside her, gesturing for her to see Gianna.
She clicked her tongue and said, “Your ex–husband was really popular with the ladies.” Hazel glanced over there indifferently and said, “I wish them a happy ending as a couple.
would be best if they got together soon and had more children.

When Gabriel wouldn’t fight for custody with her.
duct was somewhat worried. Haze, are you really going to vie with the Campbell family for custody? The Campbells have been wealthy for centuries. Even though your ex–husband was untrustworthy in matters of the heart, his professional capabilities were quite awesome.” If he was unwilling to let go, it would be difficult for Hazel to obtain custody. Hazel looked at the azure sky and said in a leisurely tone, “They are my children. No matter what, I have to fight for it.”
From the moment she left the Campbell family, she never gave up on the two children and had been secretly building her own power for the past two years.
Lucia sighed, “If you need my help, feel free to ask.”
During their conversation, Hazel
Hazel saw Gianna walking towards the children. The worried that Gianna might do something to them, and immediately followed up. As Hazel approached, she heard Gianna chatting with other parents.
“Ms. Lewis, are you and Mr. Campbell are going to marry soon?”
Glanna pretended to be shy and glanced at Gabriel who was talking on the phone in the distance. Out of the corner of her eye, she happened to see Hazel walking towards her. She raised her voice and said, “Yes, soon. We’ve already met each other’s parents, and the two children are really fond of me. Once Gabriel has some free time, our families will talk about our marriage. By then, we’d be

Wedding
In her student days, Gianna was crazy in love with Gabriel. Regrettably, Gabriel was full engrossed in his studies and had ΠΟ inclination towards romantic involvements. After graduation, Gabriel immediately took over the Campbell Group. Suddenly, he had an arranged marriage for him when very young. He not only got married soon but also had three children.
Fortunately, they got divorced!
Gianna arrogantly curled the corners of her mouth. So what since Hazel had once been intimate with Gabriel? After five years of a secret marriage, she had ultimately been left as a neglected wife.
Seeing Gianna keep staring at her, Hazel gave Gianna a disdainful look in silence. People who heard her words were all very surprised.
In this circle, people used to get engaged before getting married. They would spend some time together and if they felt compatible in all aspects, they would then obtain a marriage certificate.
Gianna looked at Hazel provocatively and went on, “Gabriel said his previous marriage was a mess. It tortured him physically and mentally for five long years. He can’t wait to marry me to get rid of the shadow cast by that past marriage.”
Hazel paused.
mess, tortured him physically and mentally, shadow….
Suddenly, as if a blunt knife stabbed fiercely into her heart and stirred it. Hazel gritted her teeth, thinking, “Scumbag!”

evaluation he received.
It appears that Mr. Campbell truly held his ex–wife, with whom he had a five–year secret marriage with him, in contempt. I’m curious about what kind of woman she was.” “I heard that they had a child in the second year of their marriage. I initially thought they were keeping it a secret for self–protection, but now it seems that he was compelled to marry a woman he didn’t love. He must be unhappy deep down, and that’s why he didn’t want to introduce her to
others.”
“Well, everyone knows that Ms. Lewis is the only female companion that Mr. Campbell has brought out to meet us. Can’t you imagine her status?”
Hazel heard everyone’s whispering.
She didn’t want Jaxon and Leila to be criticized, so she didn’t approach them anymore. However, when Leila saw her, she happily ran towards her.
Mom!”
Others also saw Hazel and couldn’t help but take a cold breath, being shocked by her exquisite features and ethereal temperament.
“Whose daughter is this? She looks so beautiful!”
Gianna lowered her gaze, concealing the melancholy in her eyes. No matter how attractive Hazel was, she still couldn’t win over Gabriel’s heart.
However, the next second!
Jaxon, however, caught her off guard.
