“Brother, Dad and | are a team, and you and Mom are a team. We competed to see who could catch a fish first.”
As soon as she heard about the competition, Leila’s eyes lit up.
She waved her little hand and joined in, “Leila and Uncle are a team.”
Hazel, excitedly, did not refuse when Jaxon approached her.
Compared to the casual attire of others, Gabriel, who had just returned from the airport, was dressed in a
perfectly fitting black suit that accentuated his physique. Even while sitting there, he idn’t look like he was
fishing, but rather like he was discussing a deal of immeasurable value.
He readjusted the fishing bait for his two sons, with Jaxon separating him from Hazel, his gaze focused on the
water.
Leila sat closely next to her mother.
When Gabriel caught his first fish, Joshua stood up excitedly and applauded, “Wow! Dad is so amazing!”
Dylan's fishing rod also made a movement, and Leila, imitating her brother, applauded for him, saying, “Dylan is
great!”
The third person to catch a fish was Jaxon, and he exclaimed excitedly,”Mom, | caught one!” Hazel reached out
to touch her eldest son’s head and praised, “Our Jaxon is really amazing.”
Little did she know that Gabriel also reached out his hand at that moment, but she immediately withdrew hers as

“Don’t be afraid, Leila, don’t be afraid.”
“It's okay, it's okay. Uncle is here.”
Listen carefully, Gabriel's voice was still trembling.
Almost before the child's cry could be heard, he had already carried Leila to a safe place. Gabriel gently patted
