Chapter 4 Your Lover? 

Hazel thought that she wouldn’t feel heartbroken any longer since it had been two years. To her surprise, his words still pierced her heart like a needle. 

She was angered. 

“We have divorced, and I have remarried. Gabriel, please have some self–respect.” Hazel pushed him away forcefully and prepared to go upstairs to find her daughter. Gabriel grabbed her wrist and pulled her back, “Who is the man that made you willing to abandon your husband and child!” 

Yes, she didn’t believe him but in fact, he didn’t believe her, either. 

Nazel shook off his hand and told him word by word. 

“A man who is a hundred, a thousand, and ten thousand times better than you!” Hazel walked away briskly, and behind her came the sound of Gabriel falling to the ground. Gabriel’s fever, which had just subsided last night, recurred.

agreement. 

Although they parted ways unhappily, the rain had not stopped yet. With Ezra’s help, Hazel and Gabriel finally 

They would leave Nyack when the Tappan Zee Bridge was passable. During the time they stayed in her place, Gabriel had to pay 150 thousand dollars each day for the accommodation and medical fees. 

They stayed for one week. 

Leila was very happy to have two more friends. The happiest thing for her every day was playing with Jaxon and Joshua. 

Joshua was young and naive. Under Jaxon’s guidance, he also liked Leila very much. She was a cute girl who liked to laugh a lot. 

Every day, as soon as he woke up, he would go to Hazel’s room with Jaxon, waiting for Leila to wake up. 

Gabriel rested in the guest room. He had various meetings every day. He was quite bus 

He had just finished an international conference when he saw Leila, who should have been taking a nap upstairs, lying on the stairs. 

She rubbed her eyes and came over to Gabriel, her eyes red as she reached out her hands towards him, saying, “Hug.” 

Gabriel stiffly picked her up. 

The maid who was cooking hurriedly pushed the door open. He knew from her that Hazel went out to check on the ill elderly in the village. 

She knew medicine?

Before leaving, Hazel asked the hourly maid to come and take care of Leila. But the maid went back home 

collect clothes and 

clothes and Leila took the chance to climb downstairs. 

Gabriel narrowed his cold eyes and scrutinized with a powerful aura, “Do you know how dangerous this is?” 

aving a child over one year–old at home could lead to any kind of danger 

The maid didn’t think this was something big. She also didn’t expect Gabriel to the angry She hurriedly explained. 

“The clothes at home were not collected and I was afraid of the rain. My house is just next door. I planned to come back as soon as possible. I didn’t expect Leila to wake up so quickly. 

Sensing his anger, Leila smacked him and kissed his cheek, imitating Jazon’s voice as she called out to him. 

Leila said, “Daddy, don’t be angry.” 

Leila was still learning new words. She didn’t understand what the word “Daddy‘ meant. Gabriel tightened his grip on Leila’s arm. Many thoughts flashed through his mind. No matter how important those projects were, he couldn’t be as nervous as he was at this moment. Was there a possibility that Leila was his child? 

Forget it, it was highly unlikely. He took contraceptive measures at that time. And the timing couldn’t match up. 

Two hours later…. 

After returning from visiting the sick elderly in the village, Hazel was disinfecting herself with alcohol at the door. Due to the prolonged heavy rain, the old ailments of the elderly in the village had started to flare up. It took her a while to treat them. 

She pushed the door open and saw her daughter being held by Gabriel. The maid stood awkwardly on the side, and when she saw her, she quickly apologized Hearing the maid’s explanation, Hazel frowned and said, “Vivian, I told you. You can’t leave Leila. You have to stay by the bedside. 

For this, Hazel paid extra money. 

Vivian had never seen Hazel so indifferent before. In the past, Hazel had always been quite polite. to her. 

“Hazel, Leila was sleeping soundly. And my home is nearby. It didn’t take much time for me to run back and collect the clothes. That’s why I went back. 

“Leila is fine. When we are busy with our farming work in the village, all the children stay home by themselves. Nothing has ever happened. Besides, Leila is a girl. She’s not as precious as boy.” 

With that, Vivian straightened her back again. 

“Leila’s father is just making a big deal out of nothing! He accused me. I’ve been working at your house for a month and I haven’t suffered this kind of grievance. Hazel, you have to compensate me a little.” 

Hazel looked at Vivian with a cold gaze. “Firstly, that is not Leila’s father. Secondly, I paid you to work for me. Yes, nothing has happened. But what if something does happen?” Vivian noticed Hazel’s anger and felt a bit nervous. 

Not only because Hazel gave her a lot of money, but also because she would always bring back some meat and vegetables Hazel bought. 

Hazel would have people deliver ingredients regularly, all of the best quality.

zel, I promise I won’t make the same mistake again. Please give me another chance 

She knew that Hazel cared the most about her daughter, so she immediately went to Gabriel’s arms to snatch Leila. “Leila, come here. Let me hold you.” 

Gabriel dodged away, not giving her a chance to get close to Leila. 

Vivian had some dirt spots on her hands, but she wanted to get close to Leila like this. Hazel’s gaze became even colder. She immediately took out some money as Vivian’s salary from her 

purse 

“Vivian, you are fired. You don’t need to come anymore.” 

Vivian was dumbfounded. She just left for a while and nothing happened, yet she was about to be 

fired? 

“Hazel, you are so heartless. You fired me so easily? You are cruel. No wonder your man doesn’t Want you!” 

Hazel drove her out, saying, “Go away! Don’t let me see you again!” 

She lived in Nyack with her family for a period of time during her childhood, but she left here after starting school. 

After the divorce, not knowing where to go, she came to Nyack with her child. At that time, her belly was not yet showing, but later it grew bigger and bigger. Rumors started to spread, saying that she came here because she was abandoned by a man. 

One time, she unintentionally saved the village chief’s life. After that, everyone’s attitude towards her changed. 

Medical resources were the scarcest for a small village. 

Normally, when seeking medical treatment, one–had to spend a long time traveling on the rural bus to t the county town, and it would take almost half a day for a round trip. 

After she arrived, everyone would go to her to have their minor problems checked. Vivian revealed her true nature after losing her job. 

She grabbed onto the gate of Hazel’s house, refusing to leave, and cursed loudly. 

“Hazel, you said this man is not the father of your daughter, then he must be your lover, right? 

“Both of his children don’t like you. Could it be that you stole someone else’s husband? You look so good but you raise your daughter alone without 

a man. You are a bitch.. 

“I have seen many women like you, pretending to be kind but actually being despicable. Your daughter might grow up to be just like you, a despicable woman!” 

Three loud sounds appeared. 

Hazel slapped Vivian three times. 

“Pay attention to your words.” 

Gabriel called two bodyguards and they threw Vivian out. 

Vivian was stunned by the slapping, but as soon as she regained her senses, she sat on the ground and started throwing a tantrum. 

“Damn it! I was slapped. A damn shameless bitchy couple hit me. How can they hit an old womans like me?”
