From Secret Wife to Queen of Her World by Anonymous

Chapterl76.

The understated black Maybach was parked beneath a tree at the entrance of the village, neither too far nor too

close to the small villa where Hazel lived

From Gabriel's perspective, he could perfectly see Hazel’s room, and he silently stared in that direction, lost in

his thoughts.

Gabriel didn’t know why he cover,

It was just that upon learning that she was going back to Nyack, he subconsciously made this decision and

followed her back here.

The rain gradually got heavier.

Compared to the previous storm, the current rain was just a drizzle.

His view was blocked by the rainwater on the windshield, making it difficult to see Hazel’s room. Gabriel had no

intention of finding a place to stay in the village nor did he plan to knock on Hazel’s door. He simply sat in the

car and rested.

Hazel observed by the window of her master bedroom for a while and noticed that Gabriel hadn't gotten out of

the car. She had thought that Gabriel would probably leave soon After all, there was no reason for him to stay

here.

Hazel didn’t want to dwell on the reasons behind Gabriel's inexplicable actions anymore. She pulled the curtains

in the master bedroom shut, blocking the view from outside, and took her change of clothes to the bathroom.

When she finished bathing and changed her clothes, the black Maybach was no longer under that

tree.

She breathed a sigh of relief and went downstairs to have a meal.

Hazel thought that Gabriel had already left.

However...

After she pulled up the curtains, Gabriel drove the car into her blind SPOL

The dark clouds passed, and the rain stopped.

The car window rolled down, and the air was filled with a mixture of soil and the scent of grass. Gabriel rested his

elbow on the door, his slender fingertips holding a touch of crimson firelight

He wasn’t addicted to cigarettes, but at this moment, he needed nicotine to calm himself down.

The next morning.

Hazel woke up very early, missing her three children. She planned to go back to Seattle after paying respects to

Annika in the morning.

She had prepared everything for the worship.

The morning in the mountains was a bit chilly. The wind blew into Hazel’s neck, so she deliberately wrapped an

extra scarf around it. She carried a basket filled with flowers and walked towards the direction of the back

mountain, bypassing the front gate of the courtyard step by

step.

Hazel remembered the words Annika had said to her.

Annika was born in Nyack, and her family had been practicing medicine for generations. When she was young,

she aspired to a life in the big city and went to Seattle alone with a small luggage to attend university. Due to her

exceptional medical skills, she accidentally saved Skylar's mother.

Back then, Skylar, who was a famous playboy in Seattle, had been spoiled by his family. Although Annika wasn’t

a stunning beauty, she was still good-looking. Moreover, due to growing up in the countryside among the

mountains, she was natural and pure.

The countryside was simple and pure. Annika had always been familiar with herbal medicine since she was

young, but she didn’t understand human nature. Being innocent, she was quickly drawn in by Skylar’'s sweet

words and gradually gave her heart away.

When she was deeply trapped and unable to extricate herself, she discovered that Skylar had been in a

relationship with his childhood friend. Later, she cto know that the reason Skylar pursued her was because

she had three similarities with that childhood friend.

Although Annika was simple-minded, she was very decisive. She immediately broke up and changed all contact

information. Coincidentally, she had just graduated from college, so she packed up all her belongings and went

back to Nyack directly.

Annika didn’t know she was

pregnant

until she returned to

the village.

She didn’t plan to have that child, but due to health reasons, terminating the child would probably result in

infertility for the rest of her life.

Annika’s father persuaded her that the child was innocent.

In the end, Annika softened her heart.

Skylar didn’t cto realize his regret until after losing her. He journeyed to Nyack and remained in the village

for three years. The village was small, and his presence becthe topic of gossip among the neighbors due to

his arrival.

Selders even cspecifically to advise Annika that since she had the baby, she shouldn’t ac so haughty. It

should be sufficient that men cand beg her. All those people were driven away by Annika.

Later, Annika’s father had an accident while collecting herbs on the mountain, leaving only her and the children

at home. After taking care of her father’s affairs, Annika went back to Seattle with Skylar for the sake of the

children’s future.

Everyone thought that they had reconciled, but in reality, Annika and Skylar, although they got married, lived

apart for their entire lives.

Little did Skylar know that as he happily awaited a bright future, thinking he had successfully won over his wife,

a lifetof estrangement awaited him.

Although the two people lived under the sroof, they always slept in separate rooms. No matter how Skylar

begged and repented in a low voice, Annika never softened her heart towards Skylar.

Later on, after the child had obtained all the inheritance rights of the Robinson family, Annika moved out and

lived alone.

Until the Robinson family went bankrupt and Skylar was hospitalized before his death, he wanted to see Annika

one last time, but Annika did not agree.

Skylar never received forgiveness from his beloved until death.

He died in the end on a snowy night.

Hazel also saw Annika again after the Robinson family went bankrupt and Devin disappeared. Annika then

returned to Nyack with the young Hazel.

Until now, Hazel still remembered the words Annika said to her.

“Haze, everyone thought | was heartless, and they thought Skylar was just momentarily distracted in his love

affair, and later he even sent his childhood love abroad and didn’t allow her to cback. All of them said

bygones should be bygones.

“But | never forgave him all my life. Everyone said | was narrow-minded. Skylar blamed me, your father blamed
