From Secret Wife to Queen of Her World by Anonymous

Jaxon confessed, “Mom dropped us off downstairs and then left.”

“Dad, I took Leila to play,” Joshua exclaimed, his voice brimming with excitement. For the past two years, he and his brother had often accompanied their father to work at the company. They held Leila’s hand and made their way to the lounge inside. The two boys skillfully located the toys they had left there.

Gabriel was lost for words.

Leila’s eyes sparkled when she spotted the pink fox on the bedside table. She remembered it hadn’t been there during her last visit.

“Hmm, could it be Gabriel who bought it for me?” she wondered.

The door of the lounge was not closed.

The lounge door was ajar. Gabriel immediately noticed Leila’s eyes twinkling with joy. The pink toy fox on the bedside had been offered to her before, but Leila had refused it, so Ezra had taken it away.

Lately, Gabriel had either been on business trips abroad, babysitting at the Robinson family, or sleeping with the Campbell family. It had been ages since he’d stayed overnight in the company lounge, and he was unaware that Ezra had placed the toy fox on the bedside. Gabriel saw Leila’s fondness for it. His eyes softened. He watched as she ran towards him, clutching the little fox in her arms, and blinked her big, watery eyes to say thank you Gabriel reached out to the little girl by his legs and effortlessly lifted her onto his lap.

He teased, “How does Leila know this is for you? What if it’s for other children?”

For other children?

Will Gabriel have another daughter?

A flurry of question marks popped into Leila’s head. She looked down at the pink fox in her arms. Although reluctant, she gently placed the little fox on the nearby desk.

Leila murmured, “Well… then give it to the children.”

She was about to slide off Gabriel’s lap and go play with her two brothers and their toy cars. Just as she was about to dash away, she remembered something.

She turned around and tugged at Gabriel’s pant leg, earnestly saying, “My Thank–you… Give it back to me.”

She had thanked Gabriel just moments ago, and since it wasn’t for her, she felt she had to retract her gratitude.

Gabriel was thoroughly charmed by Leila’s train of thought.

He pulled her back onto his lap, his slender fingers gently tickling the tip of her nose. His sharp, yet captivating eyebrows were creased with a smile.

Gabriel’s voice dropped to a soft murmur, “It was a gift for Leila.”

As he spoke, he stuffed the little fox back into her hands and asked the secretary to bring her a
