The teacher on the stage announced the game rules. The first family to finish 100 push–ups would be the winner.
Joshua was in front, and Jaxon was behind.
Leila was being held by her two brothers in the middle.
The combined weight of the three children was approximately equal to that of an adult.
Gabriel remained calm. He moved smoothly as the whistle sounded, unaffected by the three children on his back.
His hands were steady, and he was not slower than Sebastian who was beside him.
Most children’s fathers, who never exercised regularly, had big bellies touching the yoga mats on the ground without bending over. They couldn’t even do 10 push–ups and would just lie on the mat gasping for breath.
Some fathers were relatively thin and weak. They flapped their arms like the wings of a bee, causing the children on their backs to tremble. One might even think they would soon take off.
Gradually, there were fewer and fewer dads remaining.
Apart from Gabriel and Sebastian, there were a few other dads who needed to spend a lot of time training every day due to their special jobs. Everyone’s physical fitness seemed to be on par, but Gabriel had a slight advantage in terms of carrying heavy weights.
He breathed evenly, and the contours of his muscles under his clothes were constantly revealed in › the continuous and connected movements, fully
100 push–ups were soon finished.
Gabriel, Sebastian, and two other dads tied for the first place.

his charm.
Everyone’s forehead was slightly sweaty, and the mothers immediately took tissues to wipe the sweat. Each family looked very affectionate.
Annabella handed a tissue to Sebastian and said, “Well done.”
She held Courtney and asked with concern, “Courtney, are you tired? Mommy will carry you over there to drink water, okay?”
On Gabriel’s side, Hazel didn’t need to take the initiative.
After Leila got off his back, she ran quickly to her mother and took out a handkerchief from her little bag. Then, she hurriedly ran back to Gabriel’s side with small and quick steps.
“Gabriel, squat down.”
Gabriel squatted down as instructed, gazing softly at Leila, who was diligently wiping the sweat off.
Leila immediately reached out to wipe his sweat, praising him as she wiped. After she had wiped his cheeks clean, she gave him a kiss on the cheek.
Leila said, “Gabriel, you were so great!”
She covered her mouth and giggled, thinking, “I’m such a clever girl. I know to wipe clean Daddy’s face before kissing him.”

Jaxon also got disinfectant wipes from Hazel and handed them to Gabriel, saying, Dad, wipe your hands.”
“Dad, drink water.” Joshua handed him water to moisten his throat.
The three children each did their part.
Hazel did not feel disappointed when seeing the admiration and affection for their father in the eyes of the three children.
It was said that not all fathers were qualified, but only one qualified father could serve as a role model for children.
Gabriel did quite well in this aspect.
Seeing Leila’s rosy cheeks, Gabriel took the handkerchief from her hand and turned it over to wipe her face.
“Leila, go to your mother to have some water.”
He wiped the sweat off his two sons again and said, “You too.”
Gabriel took the children back to the resting area.
Hazel had prepared the children’s cups. Leila took two cups from her and volunteered, “Mom, I will give them to my brothers.”
Hazel touched Leila’s head and said, “Good girl, my Leila is
considerate.”
After delivering the water, Leila obediently held her little fox–shaped cup and sat on the sofa, drinking with a gurgling sound.
In the end, she didn’t forget to hand the cup to Hazel, with her sparkling big eyes blinking, “Mommy, drink.”

Hazel tidied the bangs on Leila’s forehead and said softly, “I have water. Thank
up Hazel was just about to get the bottled water on the small table next to her when a bottle of water with the cap already unscrewed was handed to her.
Hazel looked at the clearly defined fair fingers in front of her and turned to meet Gabriel’s cold and elegant gaze.
The man’s deep ink–like eyes glanced at the children, hinting for her to pay attention to the emotions of Jaxon and Joshua beside her.
Hazel raised an eyebrow and stubbornly refused to take the bottle from his hand. She handed Jaxon the opened bottled water in her hand and deliberately said, “Jaxon, I can’t open it. Can you help me?”
Jaxon’s eyes lit up.“Of course, I can!”
Hazel had unscrewed it halfway, so Jaxon easily opened the cap. She praised Jaxon, making his cheeks turn rosy.
Joshua, who was standing next to him, said he could as well.
“I know. Joshua is a good boy too.”
Gabriel was neglected.
Leila held her cup with one hand and patted Gabriel’s arm with the other, comforting him, “You are good too.”

Leila knew how to treat everyone equally.
What should they do if she were not here?
Hazel took her two sons to the stage to receive the little red flowers.

Gabriel watched as Leila couldn’t even open her eyes. He lifted her and placed her on his lap. He gently pinched her delicate nose and didn’t miss Leila’s giggle.
After such a long time, Leila was already a bit tired.
She handed the cup to Gabriel, found a comfortable position in his arms, and said to him,“Gabriel, pat.”
Gabriel lowered his gaze and looked at her sleepy face. He understood and patted her gently.
He took the windbreaker that was taken off on the side and wrapped Leila in it, gently patting her back with his large palm.
Without a lullaby or any other movements, Leila fell asleep in Gabriel’s arms quickly.
Gabriel’s ice–cold heart slowly melted as he saw the trust and peace on her face. Apart from Jaxon and Joshua, Leila was the third child who softened his heart. He always felt like something was pulling him towards her.
He chuckled lightly.“You little girl…”
On the other side, Sebastian was still softening up his little sister. Then he looked up and saw Gabriel under the shade of the tree, with a slight smile on his face, which touched his heart.
Although it was just a faint smile, for Gabriel, who usually had a cold expression, this was already a huge change.
And he even didn’t know Leila was his daughter. Gabriel’s smile seemed to be telling others that he had already recognized Leila as his daughter.
Sebastian looked over Hazel on the stage again. At that moment, she was helping the teacher to stick small red flowers on her two sons.
She just left her daughter in Gabriel’s care. Wasn’t it a kind of unbreakable trust?
The parent–teacher meeting finally ended.
In the afternoon, the children could go home with their parents.
Jaxon and Joshua were very happy today, both of them carrying their little backpacks and skipping along while holding Hazel’s hand.
They got in the car.
Watching her daughter sleeping soundly in Gabriel’s arms, Hazel reached out and whispered, “Give Leila to me.”
Gabriel was about to let go, but Leila in his arms immediately grabbed onto his shirt, showing signs of waking up. He quickly patted her back, and the small hand holding onto his shirt. loosened slightly.
“It’s okay. I’ll hold her.”
Although Leila was less than two years old, she had good genes and was a promising dancer compared to children of the same age.
During this period, she took the improved version of the medicine that contained Seven Stars

Just as they hadn’t reached the Robinson’s house yet, both of their phones vibrated simultaneously. Ezra and Johnson were calling.

“Mr. Campbell, something happened to Ms. Robinson!”
