From Secret Wife to Queen of Her World

Chapter 313 Leila Digs A Hole

"Alfred, is it embarrassing to admit that you liked Lucia?"

"What?" Alfred's heart trembled at his words, and his gaze momentarily flickered,

Gabriel saw the three siblings standing not far away, and a warm light shimmered in his eyes. The tone of his voice also became slightly deeper as he spoke to them.

“It seems like you forgot that it was you who insisted on bringing people into the circle."

He lowered his gaze and carefully surveyed his old friend, who was covered in a disheveled state on the ground. There were purple bruises on the corners of his mouth from being punched, and his eyes were filled with a dazed expression in response to his words.

Alfred furrowed his brow and began to recall the memories of his initial encounter with Lucia,

Not only him, but even Lucia was starting to forget how she first met Alfred.

Gabriel spoke in a flat tone, "Can you really distinguish between infatuation and curiosity?"

His words left Alfred stunned in place, his gaze blankly lifted, staring at Gabriel's cold jawline, lost in endless contemplation. "Lucia, Lucia... You are Edgar's cousin, right? You look so delicate and beautiful."

"Your cousin is my good brother, and from now on, I will also be your brother. Come on, Lucía, say 'brother' and let me hear it."

Alfred's brain was tense.

Originally, it was him who insisted that Lucia call him "brother". It was him who made advances towards the young girl first.

Edgar had long settled abroad with his spouse and had never returned to his home country in all these years.

Over time, he was almost forgetting those distant things because he had let Lucia call him brother and had also been punched by Edgar.

When he came to his senses.

Gabriel had already left with his daughter.

Leila turned around and waved her tender white fist at him, warning him not to bully her mother and godmother.

But she didn't hold on for a

face into Gabriel's nect few seconds, a gust of cold wind blew by, and she quickly withdrew her hand into her furry coat, burying her little

blocking out all the cold wind.

Leila came to a very important realization today: one cannot fight in winter because their hands get too cold.

The black Maybach left quickly.

Just a wall away, Lucia's thoughts had just escaped from her memories.

"Haze, how did time pass so quickly?" a voice sighed, seemingly not expecting a response.

She did not pay any more attention to the man at the door and turned around to go back inside the warm room to have breakfast.

Hazel had a brief conversation with her and hung up the video call when a work phone call came in.

When she became free again, it had already been several hours.

Thinking about what Gabriel said to Alfred, a deep darkness settled in Hazel's eyes.

When Leila came back, she was wearing a headband and carrying the latest pink fox in her arms, bouncing and jumping back into the house. Jaxon and Joshua also had big and small bags in their hands, while the rest were in the hands of the bodyguards following behind.

As soon as Joshua entered the door, he couldn't wait to share today's events with Hazel.

"Mom, Dad left suddenly after receiving a work call. Look, these are the toys that Dad bought for us and our sister."

The black Maybach turned into a nearby small road after leaving Top Villa.

When I came out again, I went straight onto the highway.

At this moment, there was no longer Gabriel's shadow in the back seat of the

car.

A few minutes later, a low-profile black car slowly pulled out and headed in the opposite direction.

"Boss, the guy who hit our car earlier ran away."

Matthew's eyes were alert as he looked into the rearview mirror, constantly

keeping an eye on his surroundings.

In the back seat, Gabriel pinched his furrowed brow.

The man who appeared inexplicably last time was found to have no real influence behind him, but there was an indescribable hostility towards

him.

Gabriel said indifferently, "Let people continue to stare."

After spending the weekend in Seattle with her two sons, Hazel returned to Nyack with her daughter.

However, before heading to Nyack, she made a trip to Akron, where a bustling experimental base was being perfected, and unexpectedly saw a somewhat familiar man on the scene.

Jadon, the person who used to pick on her halfway through.

"You see, here and here, everything has been changed according to your requirements. You don't have to worry about the workers, there will definitely be

no cutting corners. As long as you make the payment quickly enough, I guarantee that the project will be completed ahead of schedule, without any delays." Audrey was talking about construction matters with her.

Hazel furrowed her brows and glanced at Audrey, who was supervising the scene, and asked, "Why is he here?"

"Who is it?"

Audrey turned around and followed her gaze, suddenly realizing, "You're talking about him, right? He came for an interview when we were hiring before. I saw that he had the best physical abilities, quick and efficient movements, and his price was also reasonable. I hired him on the spot. Is there any problem?"

"Not a big issue, just attempted to kidnap me."

Hazel's gaze fell upon the man's seemingly scrutinizing eyes, as she pondered his intentions in her mind.

The local big shot in Akron.

No matter how bad things were going, there was no need to resort to doing manual labor here.

-Audrey, who speaks faster than she thinks, blurted out, "Oh, kidnapping, well, that's really not a big deal... What! Kidnapping?"

Hazel glanced at her and bluntly said, "Why don't you just go shout in their ear?"

"I wasn't afraid, there was just no need to shout in my ear."

Audrey gossiped as she approached, raising her eyebrows and winking, "Could it be your admirer?"

After this period of time and interaction with Audrey, Hazel found that her personality, apart from being a little too straightforward, had no

other issues.

She raised an eyebrow and replied, "Do you think I came over here to listen to your jokes?"

"Audrey, I am your client now, and I want the payment to be made quickly. So, please start working right away."

"OK, Ms. Robinson, I will go to work for you right away," Audrey shrugged and continued to supervise with the drawings in her hand.

In the wind of Seattle, the taste of winter had already arrived.

Aspen, located in the southernmost region, had a slightly more pleasant temperature and a more comfortable climate.

Audrey glanced at Leila, who was standing alone in a separate sandy area not

far away, wearing a doll-collar shirt and orange overalls. She was holding her own toy shovel and happily digging in the sand.

She thought about her son Brian.

I heard that now he lives with his grandparents, not staying with his philandering father, and I don't know how he is doing now.

Leila, who took off her furry coat and put on lightweight clothes, felt like a happy and agile child again.

She turned around and saw Hazel coming towards her. Smiling, she asked for praise, “Mom, look, Leila dug a really big hole."

"Leila was amazing."

Hazel gave her daughter some water and wiped the dirty dust off her face. She smiled and asked, "What are you digging such a big hole for?"

Leila tilted her head, her fair and tender little face filled with a serious and thoughtful expression.

After a while.

She smiled and replied, "If anyone bullies Mom again, Leila will bury them."

Every day, she watered it. When spring came and the flowers bloomed, Leila picked them and put them in a vase to show her mother and godmother.

Hazel: "?"

Is this the amaryllis flower that was planted? This idea of my daughter's is a bit dangerous.

Leila thought about Alfred's tall height and looked at the small pit in front of her, feeling that it needed to be bigger.

"Mom, you go and do your things. Leila will keep digging for a while."
