There were no tightly closed windows, and a gust of summer heat blew in. Hazel rarely focused her gaze on

Gabriel's face, with his exceptional appearance and immense wealth, it's no wonder that SO many women

pursued him relentlessly. She was certain that even after forty or fifty years, the man in front of her would still

not lack young girls by his side.

Gabriel frowned and his temples throbbed as he heard her words. He was about to explain that there was

nothing more than a pure act of gratitude between him and Gianna when he received a frantic phone call from

Ezra.

“Mr. Campbell, Ms. Lewis caused a fatality!”

The previous conversation and the silence between the two made the restaurant so quiet that even a pin

dropping could be heard clearly, especially since Ezra did not have control over the volof his voice.

Gabriel immediately looked into Hazel’s eyes, the undisguised mockery between his eyebrows causing his gaze

to darken.

She got up

Upon hearing Hazel’s voice on the phone, Ezra’s heart sank: Oh no! It has affected the relationship between the

“former” couple!

Her wrist was held by a man, and she lowered her gaze to meet Gabriel's pitch-black and profound ink eyes.

There was a momentary stiffness in the emotions in the depths of her but she quickly composed herself.

Gabriel pulled her hand and said, “Gianna and | were not in the kind of relationship you thought.” He clicked on

the speakerphone directly and said to Ezra, “Continue speaking.” Hazel, who had been grabbed by the wrist,

The coldness on that handsand noble face slightly faded away, and his deep and magnetic ice said, “Mr.

Upon hearing this, Hazel’s face immediately darkened.

Her disgust towards Gianna had reached the core, and upon hearing Gabriel's words, she felt a

surge

of resentment.

The sunshine outside the window was bright and dazzling, but it couldn't penetrate Hazel’s heart at this

moment.

She forcefully tried to break the man’s fingers as he held her wrist, while also stepping on his toenails with her

foot, using a lot of force.

Gabriel furrowed his brows, afraid of hurting her. He didn’t exert much force with his hand, and seeing her

resistance, he had to loosen his grip even more.

“Hazel, listen to me, please.”

Hazel couldn't break free from his grip and sighed, “Fine, go ahead and explain. I'm curious to

ear how your love story was so earth-shattering.”

Gabriel sighed, “I didn’t love Gianna.”

His words made Hazel burst into laughter directly, sneering, “But you don’t loveeither. Five years ago, during

that heavy rainstorm in Seattle, you leftalone in the restaurant. You haven't forgotten about that, have

Gabriel continued to argue, “But you always wanted to eat at that restaurant, didn’t you? The food was already

“And, 1 left

Anger swirled in her mind, causing her rationality to slightly deviate. Upon hearing Gabriel's words, Hazel

couldn’t help but blurt out.

“Do

you think I just wanted to eat the food at that restaurant? Do you know what | was planning that day...”

The conversation abruptly ended!

Hazel’s earlobes burned, and she felt startled by the words she almost blurted out. She closed her eyes to calm

herself down.

From the first tthey met, Hazel knew that Gabriel was actually a heartless man. At that time, although he

didn’t love her, he also didn’t love any other wor At that time, although he was not unfaithful, he was arrogant.

She thought that even if they were only a couple who respected and supported each other after marriage, their

life could still be happy and beautiful.

But she still didn’t guard her heart well and was unknowingly attracted by Gabriel. After the birth of their two

sons, Gabriel began to pay more and more attention to the family. Hazel thought she saw hope and even started

to look forward to marriage before love. After making up her mind, she decided to confess to Gabriel. She

booked a private room and ordered flowers. Just when she was filled with anticipation, Gabriel

The clear and cold voice was so pleasant to listen to that it made people intoxicated. However, she felt a slight

soreness in her eyes and quickly raised her head to look at the crystal chandelier

above.

Proud as Gabriel, in Seattle, he could be considered a dominant figure, and even the most powerful individuals

had to address him as Mr. Campbell.

From childhood to adulthood, there was no person or thing that could make him apologize. Except for her, except

for the three children.

Hazel thought those three words were the man’s limit, but she didn’t expect Gabriel to continue.

“Five years ago, | left I'm sorry.”

“When Nyack was hurt, Leila got upset and mistakenly thought you were also sorry.” Having known each other

for so many years, this is also the first tGabriel has apologized so sincerely.

He didn’t know that the heavy rainstorm night five years ago had such a big impact on Hazel. At that time,

Gianna was taken away by a man on the street who found pleasure in abusing women, and he was thinking that

the situation was urgent.

For Gabriel, it was just a helping hand to save a child's life, without any personal emotions. Hazel turned her face

away decisively, “You can apologize, but | won't accept it. You have done more than just these two things to be

sorry for.”

Her voice trembled with a suppressed sob, like a bottle of vinegar spilled over his heart lake, the, sour sensation

slowly rising in his heart.

This unfamiliar emotion made his heart tighten.

Gabriel knew that he felt sorry for Hazel.

He released her wrist and instead held her slender arms with both hands, readjusting her body that she had

turned away from him, to face him once again.

“Hazel, | think there were many misunderstandings between us. If you're willing, we can difuss them one by one,

perhaps...”

Gabriel had not finished speaking

on the table rang again.

Upon hearing Ezra’s urgent remark, Gabriel's dark eyes suddenly changed in emotion, and he released his grip

on Hazel's hand.

After hanging up the phone, Gabriel looked at her and said, “I’m going out for a while. Please try to stay at home

with the children these days. If you really have to go out, bring more people with you.”

“The people outside are all elderly members of the Campbell family, reliable and trustworthy. You can assign

them to do anything you need.”

Hazel listened to his words, but didn’t feel much warmth of being cared for.

Seattle and immediately went to find Hazel, wanting to continue explaining the unfinished conversation from

before. However, he saw Dylan in the Robinson family garden, along with Leila sitting in his arms.

Under the sunshade, Hazel and her two sons each had a camping chair. Next to them, a small box was filled with

fresh fruits and drinks.

Dylan's leg had not fully recovered yet. Originally a cold-hearted person, sitting in a wheelchair added a touch of

pitiful frailty to him.

He always looked at

at Leila with a gentle gaze, and she liked him very much.

This joyful scene resembled a happy family.

The reason why people feel pain is because of emotions. Gabriel felt a tearing sensation in his heart, as if

suddenly being caught off guard by the fangs of a wild beast sinking into his neck. He seemed to understand

what Hazel said and felt uncomfortable when he saw him and Gianna appear at the stime.

Gabriel, at this moment, sees Dylan from the Robinson family and finds him extremely displeasing.

Leila was the first to see him and exclaimed with joy,“Uncle?”

The others turned around simultaneously and saw Gabriel, covered in dust and dirt, each with a different

emotion in their eyes.

Jaxon and Joshua's faces lit up with joy as they dropped their fishing rods and ran towards him. Leila wanted to

keep up with her brother's pace, but she was held back by Dylan.“Leila, wait a moment, you have watermelon

He led his two sons to the edge of the pond and immediately spotted the tiny fish fry in the pund, as well as the

fish bait on the fishing rods of his two sons, which were as big as marbles. Gabriel's mouth twitched slightly,

finding it difficult for the two children to sit for so long. He pretended to casually ask the man in the wheelchair,

Gabriel clenched his fist, beneath his calm and indifferent expression, his heart had long been swept away by the

raging wildfire, losing all rationality.

His eyes were cold and indifferent, yet sharp, as they met Dylan’s gaze in the air. The surrounding air seemed to

be filled with a tense undercurrent.
