Chapter 271 It Turns Out To Be A Cheap Dad
Menu
Hazel had just finished taking a shower when she happened to see her phone vibrating on the bedside table. Without thinking twice, she answered the call from Gabriel.
Now all three children are in his hands.
Did Gabriel call so late? I hope nothing happened to the child.
She raised her voice and asked, “Is the child okay?”
As soon as he heard her gentle and worried voice, Gabriel’s eyes darkened and his voice became hoarse as he said, “The child is fine.”
Hazel breathed a sigh of relief, and suddenly her tense emotions relaxed as well.
She clicked on the speakerphone, continued to wipe her still damp hair, and asked him, “So, what’s the reason for calling so late?”
Actually, Gabriel didn’t know why he suddenly made this phone call.
Just hearing her voice, he felt a sense of calmness wash over him.
She was like his… tranquilizer.
The silence from the opposite side carried an indescribable hidden meaning, transmitted through subtle electric currents. Hazel, who suddenly realized it, paused for a moment while wiping her hair.
She glanced at the phone on the bedside table, her hair half–dried and partially wrapped in a towel. Her voice was cold as she said, “It’s okay, I’ll hang up the phone, it’s late.”
Gabriel lightly “hmm“ed.
He looked at Leila, who was sleeping on the master bed in the Campbell’s villa, and remembered over two years ago when this place was still his and Hazel’s marital home, but now it had long changed.
Gabriel leaned back, tilting his head against the sofa, gazing up at the ceiling. He sat alone, with thick, ink–like eyes filled with endless darkness, eventually turning into a faint sigh.
The long silence has passed.
A barely audible thank you rang out in the silent bedroom, a silent curve appeared on his lips as he looked at Leila’s peaceful sleeping face, his gaze gentle.
At this moment, he was immensely grateful to Hazel, thankful that she was willing to give birth to their daughter.
After learning that his daughter was his own flesh and blood, Gabriel found the hospital where Hazel had stayed.
The shareholders behind that hospital were Hazel’s good friends.
So, everything can be explained.
Her friend told him that when she first found out she was pregnant, Hazel wanted to tell him, but she saw the trending topic of the “Shen Yan family” and the emotional turmoil it caused, resulting in her staying in the hospital for a long time.
Even on the day when they obtained their divorce certificate.
She actually left from the hospital, collected and then returned to the hospital for the purpose of preserving the pregnancy.
These words turned into dense needles at this moment, fiercely piercing into Gabriel’s heart. He realized that unbeknownst to him, she had single–handedly accomplished her own spiritual salvation in a place he was unaware of.
All her calmness and indifference now were all consequences of his blindness to see through people’s hearts.
All the pain was the consequence he deserved to endure.

The next morning, the chirping of birds broke the silence indoors.
Leila curled up in Gabriel’s arms and stretched lazily like a little kitten.
She groggily turned over, habitually scooted forward, grabbed the person in front of her by their clothes, affectionately called out “mom,” and prepared to continue lazing in bed for a while longer.
But soon, she realized that something was wrong.

Leila rubbed her eyes and sat up, still looking like she hadn’t woken up. She tried to open her eyes wide and looked at the person in front of her face, using the morning light coming through the window.

She suddenly widened her eyes upon seeing the photo placed on the bedside table: Isn’t this the family portrait they took before?
Gabriel got up first and took his daughter to the bathroom to brush their teeth, cherishing this opportunity to do it themselves.
He wiped her face with a towel, treating her like a fragile item. After washing her face, Gabriel carried his daughter to the specially designed dressing room for her.
Leila’s mouth slightly opened in disbelief as she looked at him, seeing the wardrobe filled to the brim with her clothes.
Gabriel smirked and asked, “Did you like it?”
Even though his daughter still refuses to call him “dad” at present, he does not show any favoritism when it comes to giving love to each child. Right

Considering that winter is coming soon, Gabriel also had someone design thick coats in similar colors, creating a whole set that is both warm and cute.
Leila couldn’t wait to change, but she heard Gabriel calling for the maid at the door.
She turned back in confusion.
Did cheap dad refuse to change her clothes?
Gabriel touched her hair, his voice filled with the deep and gentle love of a father.
“We, Leila, were a baby girl, dad…”
He blurted out for a moment, but quickly adjusted his words and continued, “Uncle is a man, so he can’t change baby girl’s clothes, you know.”
Although Leila was only two years old, Gabriel was very strict when it came to gender boundaries. He made sure that the housemaid took care of bathing and changing clothes for Leila.
Leila thought about how her uncle used to have the maid help him change clothes every time.
She nodded understandingly, raised a smiling face, and added, “Mom, godmother, and aunt can all dress Leila in beautiful little dresses.”
Facing the child, Gabriel retreated from his cold indifference and nodded, praising her intelligence.
When Leila came out of the wardrobe after changing her clothes, Jaxon and Joshua were already waiting for her at the door.
“Brother” Leila happily threw herself into the arms of her two brothers,
Jaxon and Joshua hurriedly hugged her, afraid that she might fall.
“Sister, you can’t run so fast in the future. What if you fall?” Jaxon thought that from now on, they would have to go to Leila themselves, as she always used to run towards them and throw herself into their arms whenever she saw them.
My younger sister was so small that she was very prone to bumps and bruises!
Joshua’s mind wasn’t as complicated as his brother thought. He hadn’t played with his sister for several days, and now he was back at the Campbell’s villa, eager to show her his entire wall of toy cars.

Every time he thought about himself in Nyack, not letting his sister play with the toy car, he felt very sorry for his sister.
Joshua patted his chest and said, “Leila, all the little cars in the future will be
Leila continued, “And Leila’s little foxes were also played with by her brother.”
Thinking about those pink little foxes, Joshua hesitated for a moment but then nodded. Although he didn’t really like furry dolls, as long as his sister liked them, he was willing to play with her.

The sofa at the entrance of the cloakroom.
Gabriel crossed his legs and watched the three siblings, who had a deep bond, with a slight sense of regret in his heart.
If Hazel were here too, it would be great…
