Chapter 82
Last night, Gabriel did not get an answer.
During breakfast, his gaze frequently fell on the faces of Hazel and Leila, with an uncertain guess in his mind.
The former pretended not to have seen it.
The latter thought that he wanted to eat the porridge in his own bowl, so he generously scooped him a big spoonful.
Leila took herself out of the child chair and handed it to Gabriel’s mouth, also gesturing for him to open his mouth wide.
“Uncle, open your mouth and eat.”
Gabriel was softened by her actions and gently touched her little head, saying, “Uncle doesn’t eat, Leila eats.”
Today is the weekend.
Gabriel rarely didn’t go to the company and stayed with the Robinson family to accompany their
three children.
The happiest ones were Jaxon and Joshua.
Hazel didn’t want to see Gabriel at home, but the two children had just experienced an attack and were already feeling uneasy. Having their father by their side would provide them with a greater sense of security.
“Mom, will you play with me and build blocks?”
“Dad, Dad, look at the toy car Auntie bought for me!”
“Oh no, Leila, this is not how you play it. Let me show you, then like this, you see, the toy train is running now.”
brother teaches you, like this first;
“Dad, this is the painting I made. This is Mom and Dad, this is my brother and sister, and this is handsome me…”
The morning passed quickly.
Hazel and Gabriel accompanied the three children, played with many toys and games. The adults were tired, but the children were still full of energy.
During that time, Gabriel stole glances at Hazel several times, his eyes filled with complexity, as if he wanted to say something but held back.
“Haz…”
“Gabriel, I just wanted to spend quality time with the children.”
He caught a glimpse of her detachment and indifference in her eyes, causing the words on the
- man’s lips to be swallowed back down.
Perhaps it was the soft material of the home clothes that softened Gabriel’s mature and stern demeanor, which had been honed through his experiences in the business world. hen those deep–sea–like black eyes fell upon her, Hazel unexpectedly sensed a hint of helplessness and grievance emanating from within.

She felt like she had gone crazy.

How could Gabriel possibly feel wronged? He exuded a dominant aura that seemed to control the fate of others. It would be more fitting for others to feel wronged in his presence. Unable to bear his gaze any longer, Hazel went straight to the study upstairs.
Since he wanted to accompany the child, she gave him plenty of time and space, and took the opportunity to deal with the matters in the laboratory.
Leila’s hands were dirty from playing with clay.
She pouted and raised her hand in front of Gabriel with a hint of disdain. Her lively eyes twinkled like stars.
She said in a childish voice, “Uncle, wash your hands.”
Gabriel snapped out of his thoughts, his gaze brushing over the child’s hands smeared with clay. His voice was gentle as he said, “Alright, Uncle will carry you to wash your hands.”
He lifted Leila up with one hand and carried her, striding towards the separate bathroom outside.
Leila sat on the sink, swinging her legs leisurely, while her fair and smooth hands rinsed under the flowing water.
Gabriel gently applied hand soap to her, treating her as delicately as if she were a fragile item.
Leila opened and clenched her five fingers under the flowing water, splashing several droplets onto Gabriel’s clothes, but the man paid no attention at all.
If this were placed on someone else, he would have blackened his face long ago.
When Jaxon and Joshua were washing their hands, Gabriel also didn’t allow them to splash

But Leila was an exception.
Every time Gabriel saw this child, he had the impulse to buy her everything in the world that she liked.
After wiping the child’s fingers clean, Gabriel finally picked up Leila again.
A big one and a small one stood in front of the mirror for a long time without leaving.
He looked at his own and Leila’s facial features in the mirror, carefully examining them for a long time, not missing any detail.
The child’s face shape resembled that of the mother.
Her eyes, nose, and mouth were also just like hers.
Especially when her eyes smiled, they looked exactly like a crescent moon, just like Hazel.
Leila, she was a miniature version of Hazel.
The only thing that was a little similar to him was the small mole on the forehead.
But is it possible?
Could Leila possibly be his daughter?
Gabriel was feeling anxious in his heart.
ila held onto Gabriel’s neck and imitated him, looking at herself in the mirror. Occasionally, she made funny faces to make him laugh.

“Uncle, it looked good.”

Although she knew in her heart that Gabriel was her biological father, Leila decided to pretend not to know until her mother agreed.
Gabriel couldn’t resist and kissed her check.
He praised, “Leila looked better.”
Upon hearing this, Leila shyly buried her cheeks into Gabriel’s neck, affectionately nuzzled him, and softly called him uncle.
“Well, uncle was there.”
Gabriel responded to every call of “uncle” from the children.
Leila really enjoyed the feeling of being with him now, and there was an increasing amount of dependence and joy in her eyes.
The cold and hard shell of the heart was completely melted by the child’s soft and adorable
nature.
As soon as Gabriel thought that Leila could possibly be his daughter, he wished he could pluck stars and moons for her right away.
He finally made up his mind in his heart.
“Leila, the little butterfly on your head is crooked. Uncle will help you tie your hair again, okay?”
Crooked?
Leila looked at her hairstyle in the mirror with confusion, it was exactly the same as the one her mother had done for her in the morning.
She shook her head for a while and realized that the butterfly hairpin was still in its original position. Just as she was about to say she could go find her mother, Gabriel had already placed her back on the sink and untied her ponytail.
Leila sighed in her heart.
…Okay.
I could only trust my dad’s skill of doing hair once again.
“Uncle, Leila didn’t want to become bald.”
Gabriel felt

“Leila, don’t worry, Uncle has practiced this time.”
As Gabriel said, this time the hair braiding action was obviously much more skilled, and only three or four hairs fell out.
He redid Leila’s hair nicely, and carried her back to the toy room, instructing his two sons to take good care of their sister.

“Leila, be a good girl and play here with your brother. Uncle will be right Leila glanced at Jaxon and Joshua in the room, nodded obediently, and waved her hand to urge him to come back quickly.
Gabriel smiled and agreed, “Okay.”
He returned to the washbasin he had just been at, picked up a comb, and put Leila’s hair into the

At the entrance, Ezra had already been waiting in the car early.

Ezra took the documents and was about to go to the appraisal agency immediately. However, he received a call from the company stating that there was an issue with one of the documents and he needed to come over to handle it. He had no choice but to go back to the “Mr. Nelson, does this document need to be dealt with together?” The speaker is another female secretary of Gabriel, who was clearly wearing a flamboyant red dress, but had a peaceful and serene expression on her face.
Ezra’s heart tightened:“No need! I will handle this personally!”
Seeing his back as he quickly finished his work and hurriedly left, the female secretary immediately followed him. At the moment she saw the appraisal agency, she immediately understood what was inside that document.
After Ezra left, she walked into the appraisal agency.
Half an hour later, he finally left with satisfaction.
