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? | 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 bechoarse 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.

and looked at the person in front of her face, using the morning light coming through the window. 22:15

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.

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 cto 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

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...
