Chapter 25 Gabriel Tricks His Ex–Wife By Soothing The Children!
Leila was tiny, nestled in Hazel’s arms.
Upon hearing his words, the little one’s pitch–black eyes widened, she pursed her lips, unable to believe that the adult would deceive such an adorable child.
Just now he clearly told her that his brother was at home, but now he says he doesn’t know if his brother is with their mother.
Leila’s little face drooped as she looked at him with a pair of innocent and pitiful eyes, “Uncle, you lied to children!”
Stared at by her with a skeptical look, Gabriel’s ears grew warm. The little guy had a soft face, puffed up like a small pufferfish.

He rubbed the little guy’s dark and dense hair and promised, “On Saturday morning. Uncle will have someone bring your brother to accompany you to play.”
Leila, who liked her older brother, immediately smiled with joy.
She stretched out two fingers and shook them, looking at Gabriel’s eyes expectantly, and said, “Let’s play for two days.”
Gabriel agreed, “Okay, two days.”
The little one’s eyes, full of liveliness and filled with a smile, turned back and hugged Hazel’s neck, coquettishly saying, ‘Mommy, I’m tired.”
Hazel kissed her daughter’s face, which was fair and smooth like a peeled egg- “Mom carried you back to sleep.”
She turned to look at Gabriel, said nothing and her intention to bid farewell was evident. Gabriel also realized it.

she watched the man leave.
The little one nestled into her arms before bedtime, tilting its head back and affectionately rubbing against her cheek, its eyes filled with dependence and love for her.
“Leila loved her mother.”
Hazel’s heart was deeply moved by her words.
“Mom loved you too.”
After putting the little one to sleep in her arms, she opened her phone and checked the surveillance cameras in every corner of the villa. She saw how the little one made his way from the room to Gabriel’s side.
Hazel watched as her daughter playfully interacted with Gabriel on the surveillance footage. Even though she didn’t know he was her father, her daughter still instinctively gravitated towards him, trusting him and reaching out for a hug
This is bloodline.
She stood on the balcony and enjoyed the cold breeze for a while. After organizing her chaotic thoughts, she returned to the room and lay on the bed for a while. Once her body warmed up, she got into the blanket and cuddled the little one, who was fast asleep with a sweet face.

The weekend arrived in the blink of an eye.
Early in the morning, Leila was already looking forward to the arrival of Jaxon and Joshua. Time just passed by, minute by minute.
The Campbell family’s car did not show up, and Jaxon’s phone was also unreachable. Leila was lying on the living room sofa, her little face resting on her hands, her big watery eyes fixedly staring at the entrance of the courtyard.
She frequently turned around and asked,
Hazel was worried if something had happened to them.
“Hasn’t
brother my
arrived yet?”
Since Gabriel had promised to bring the two children over, he wouldn’t change his mind at the last minute. She still had some trust in him.
She held her daughter in her arms and said calmly, “Leila, don’t worry. Maybe your brother got
delayed by something. Mommy will make a phone call to check.”
Leila nodded obediently, “Wait, brother.”
Hazel dialed Jaxon’s number again, but it was still busy.
She hesitated repeatedly, but finally dialed the string of numbers that had been engraved in her heart two years ago.
The phone rang
ang three times and was answered by the person on the other end.
Gabriel’s deep voice came.
She tightened her hand holding the phone and voluntarily identified hersel
“I was Hazel.”
Gabriel glanced at the unfamiliar number on his phone and paused for a moment before speaking again, Is there something you need?”
There was a faint sound of doctors doing rounds over there.
Hazel’s heart skipped a beat, could it be that the child was sick?
“You promised Leila to bring two children over today.”
Gabriel just remembered about this matter.
After two consecutive days of overtime, his headache symptoms worsened. He pinched his brow and apologized.
Hazel asked anxiously, “I heard the doctor’s voice, did the child get hospitalized? Gabriel, don’t hide it from me.”
She thought about how Jaxon used to sit alone on the hospital terrace, frail and helpless, which always made her heart ache.
Gabriel heard the urgency in her voice and explained, “No, it’s Gianna who had a car accident and is hospitalized. I brought the two children to visit her.”
Hazel’s heart returned to its original place.
The little person in her arms looked at her eagerly, and Hazel’s heart melted as she kissed her
cheek.
She said to Gabriel, “When did you bring the child over?”

One morning passed.
Leila had been eagerly anticipating the arrival of her two brothers.
Hazel was reluctant to see her sad, “If you are not available, I can come and pick up the children.” This time, Gabriel was indeed busy and forgot about it.
“Today might not work, Jaxon and Joshua are going with me to the Lewis family, and we will leave only after having dinner.”
“Tomorrow morning. I will take them there.”
Leila tucked her face into her hood, eagerly staring at her phone, while her little hand tugged at
her sleeve.
Hazel held the child and kissed and cooed, “Good baby, your two brothers have something to do today, they will come and play with you tomorrow.”
The little one pursed his lips, his eyes turned red, and he muttered with a special grievance towards the phone, “Uncle lied.”
She came down from Hazel’s arms and ran towards the stairs.
“Leila!”
Hazel quickly dropped her phone and caught up with her, hugging her tightly.
She patted her back gently and said, “Brother really has something to do today. How about Mom taking you to the amusement park to ride the carousel later?”
Soft Leila, with her two hands tightly gripping Hazel’s collar, cried with sobs, while shaking her head.
Her little face turned red from crying, and her voice was soft and full of grievance.
“My uncle deceived me.”
Hazel didn’t care about anything else and tried every method to coax the little one. Before long she fell asleep on her shoulder.
Crying too hard, several red lines were cried out on the forehead, sweat broke out on the forehead, hair was smooth and stuck to the face, and the clothes on the body were slightly cool.
She took the child upstairs and changed clothes.
After her daughter fell asleep, she went downstairs to get her phone and went back upstairs.
The call had not been disconnected.
On the other end of the phone, Gabriel waited in the hallway.
The noise from the opposite side came intermittently.
Leila’s sobbing in distress, Hazel’s comforting words to the child, and the sound of their footsteps as they went upstairs and Hazel came downstairs….
Until her voice rang out again from the other end of the phone.
Hazel’s voice sounded weary. She didn’t argue with him, nor did she mock him. She simply said at few words and hung up the phone.
“Gabriel, if you can’t do it, don’t promise the child.”
The phone rang busy again.
abriel knelt and leaned against the hospital corridor, his slender figure exuding a hint of exhaustion, his brain throbbing faintly.
My mind was filled with the dependence of the little one asking for a bug that night, and the anticipation of hearing that Jaxon and Joshua would come to play with her on the weekend. Immediately after, the two sentences Leila just said on the phone kept echoing in his ears, with each word tightening his heart.
Uncle lied.

He could even “see” her hanging her head, with two little pouts swaying in a pitiful manner. Gabriel stood up straight, tall and graceful, with a posture as straight as a cypress tree. Thinking of the soft and adorable little guy, his beautiful black eyes filled with a gentle sparkle, he
turned to the ward to bid farewell to the Lewis family.
Gianna clenched the bedsheet under the covers, biting her lower lip anxiously as she asked, “Gabriel, aren’t you staying with me anymore?”
Gabriel apologized.
“Take good care of yourself and if you need anything, you can contact Ezra.” Gianna struggled to get out of bed to pull him, but she was afraid of annoying him. She hesitated and asked, “Where are you going?”
Gabriel led two children and walked towards the entrance of the ward.
“I promised the child at home something, but I forgot.”
“I have to go and apologize to her now.”
