Leila rugged at her pajamas, covered her mouth, and giggled. She looked super cute. Hazel brought out breakfast and told Jaxon about last night when Gabriel came to pick him "Your dad came to pick you up, but you were asleep. He didn't want to wake you, so he let you sleep here'

Even though she didn't like Gabriel anymore, she didn't want to ruin his image as a dad in Jaxon's eyes

upset.

Jaxon wasn't around for dinner last night or breakfast this morning. Joshua felt down about that. Seeing how nice Jaxon was being to Leila now, he got even more ticked off.

Jaxon asked, "Dad, why did you come so early?"

Gabriel reminded him, "Did you forget that you promised Gianna last week to go to the aquarium on Sunday?"

Today, Gabriel was indeed different from the

past.

Jaxon glanced at Joshua, who was hiding behind his dad, and said honestly, "Dad, I didn't promise anything. It was Joshua who wanted to go to the aquarium and agreed with Gianna Joshua, who was mentioned by him, had actually forgotten about the agreement with Gianna. He followed along just to play with Jaxon.

But since he had promised Gianna, he couldn't go back on his word.

It was Joshua, not Jaxon, who agreed to go to the aquarium, so he said directly, "Dad, you can take Joshua with you. I want to play with Leila.

"I could take the car home at night."

Gabriel always encouraged his kids to speak their minds from a young age, so Jaxon just said it.

Joshua, who was hiding behind, was about to echo when he heard his father speak up. "Joshua, you

begged to go to the aquarium yourself, and now Gianna is waiting for you at the door. Are you going to change your mind at the last minute?"

Finally, Jaxon stayed as he had wished.

Gabriel led Joshua downstairs and Joshua kept looking back.

Joshua hesitated and said, "Dad, can I come and play with Jaxon next weekend?" Gabriel looked into Joshua's expectant eyes. He couldn't bear to refuse Joshua. "When Leila's dad

not around, you can come."

Jason scratched the back of his head. He remembered Leila saying that she didn't have a father

When they were in Nyack.

"Who cares? As long as Dad agrees!" thought Jaxon.

Gabriel had bodyguards go with Gianna and Joshua to the aquarium. Then he headed back to the office to work overtime.

Just before the next weekend came around, Lucia had an accident.

A staff member messed up, and Lucia fell off the wire. She got a bunch of scrapes all over. She was rushed to the nearby hospital.

Hazel rushed to the

Lucia sighed and comforted her, "Haze, don't worry. I have always been lucky since I was a child. Nothing will happen to me."

Leila patted Hazel's shoulder. Hazel bent down and held her. The little one kissed Lucia's uninjured face. "It won't hurt. It didn't hurt."

"Leila, you are truly my sweetheart." Lucia wanted to hold Leila, but Hazel did not agree. Although Lucia

did not have any fractures, she had many abrasions on her body, which made it unsuitable for her to hold Leila.

This weekend, she was going to accompany Lucia in Chicago.

Hazel thought about the promise she made to Jaxon. She sent him a voice message that very day to explain what was going on with her.

The first person to hear the voice message was Gabriel.

Hazel's voice message to Jaxon was very soft and gentle, as she briefly explained the things she had encountered.

Finally, there were the sweet words from Leila. Jaxon, be good and wait for me Jaxon had already listened to the voice message on Gabriel's phone a bunch of times. He found out that Hazel and Leila weren't in Seattle, and he felt

and he felt a little disappointed.

But Hazel promised him that she would call him as soon as she got back, and that cheered him up. Hazel and Leila stayed with Lucia in Chicago for a few days. And after Lucia was discharged from the hospital, the three of them flew back to Seattle together.

That night, the lights in the city began to twinkle.

Hazel nodded.

When she got to the underground parking lot, she went straight to find her car, not paying any attention to the two people behind her..

Ezra suddenly said, "Ms. Robinson, our car had a flat tire. Can we hitch a ride?" Hazel rolled down the car window. "Ezra, this is Seattle. If your car breaks down, you can take a

taxi.

Ezra hurriedly said, "Ms. Robinson, Mr. Campbell was drugged and needs to be taken to the hospital right away."

Hazel had already smelled the unusual scent coming from Gabriel when she entered the elevator. Seeing that she was about to leave, Ezra urgently called out, "For the sake of the kids!" Gabriel and Ezra finally managed to get in the car.

Gabriel was burning with desire all over.

He leaned his head back against the chair, his eyes half-closed. His whole body felt like it was being roasted, and his throat was getting drier-by the minute.

Gabriel tugged at his tie, opened his eyes, and saw Hazel in the driver's seat. The anger deep inside seemed to have grown stronger.

His eyes held the anger that had built up over time, as if it could swallow Hazel whole in an instant.

"Hazel, why do you appear?

"Two years ago, you chose to abandon me and the kids, leaving them without a care in the world Now, what nerve do you have to come back and try to take the kids away from me?

Leila, who woke up early, skillfully found Joshua's account and made a video call, getting ready to give

him a big smile.

The video call was connected.

The little one grinned, "Joshua!"

Leila had finally gained some weight. With her delicate chubby face, she looked so adorable, making people feel happy just by looking at her.

Seeing Gabriel's pale face, Leila approached with confusion and felt that Gabriel seemed a bit different today.

Gabriel took the initiative to speak, "Joshua is not here."

Leila heard his words and her eyes showed disappointment.

Seeing the doctor across from Gabriel, she tilted her head, stared at Gabriel, and then looked pitiful. "Gabriel, take medicine."
