Chapter 75 The Secret From Five Years Ago

Menu

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 and was about to leave the restaurant, “I won't disturb Mr. Campbell while he’s busy.” 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 eyes, 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, struggled twice but couldn't break free. She could only stand beside the man and listen to Gianna’s

situation on the phone.

“Mr. Campbell, there was a problem with Ms. Lewis's plastic surgery. Her body had a reaction to the medication

involved, and she has now been transferred to another hospital for emergency, treatment. Currently, she has not

Ezra, who was also unsure, arranged for someone to stay there and take care of Gianna, and then he went back

to his country with Gabriel.

“Since we've already come, why not take the opportunity to tidy up Gabriel's face darkened, and Hazel couldn't

help but laugh softly.

i In response to the cold and piercing gaze from the man above, she waved her hand and said, “I wasn’t

laughing at Gianna, | simply thought Mr. Nelson's words were quite humorous.”

Gabriel: “...”

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

Nelson, arrange for someone to follow up on this matter and try to save Gianna’s

life as much as possible.”

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

of resentment.

surge

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 hear 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

you?”

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

served, | couldn't possibly ask you to accompanyand go through all the trouble, right?”

“And, | left you with a bodyguard and a driver.”

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 heartlessn

At that time, although he didn’t love her, he also didn’t love any other woman. 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 keenly sensed that there was a story she hadn't finished telling, and he tightened his grip on her slender

fingers.

It has been two years since we got divorced, so it doesn’t matter anymore what confession happened back then.

“Let go, I'm going to see the children,” Hazel said as she broke free from Gabriel's grasp, and heard the man’s

apology.

“Sorry.”

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 you. 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 discuss them one by

one, perhaps...”

Gabriel had not finished speaking when the phone 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. She was unwilling to listen to his so-

called explanations afterwards.

Before the misunderstanding was completely resolved, Gabriel did not offend her and only left with the words

“wait for me” before hastily leaving the Robinson family.

In an emergency, Gabriel went straight to the airport.

In the car, Ezra dutifully reported the cause of the accident, “The former head of the cooperating party was

ousted, and the current head requested an additional two points on top of our

contract.”

The man’s face

turned cold, “Then let's just switch partners directly.”

Gabriel went abroad for a week.

was also during this week that Hazel becmore certain about her inner thoughts. To obtain the love of a cold-

hearted man, it is like falling into a cold abyss. To regain one’s breath, one must hold it and swim against the

current under the thick layer of ice. She was actually very satisfied with her current life, leaving behind all the

sadness she had experienced before, she built her own career and gained new possibilities in life. | didn’t want to

ruin the beauty that had been painstakingly rebuilt with the children. Gabriel returned to 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.

On the other side, Dylan was holding Leila and feeding her fruits in his arms. The closer we got, the clearer we

could hear the children’s voices.

Jaxon looked at his motionless fishing rod and wondered, “Mom, why isn’t the fish biting yet?” On the side,

Joshua, who rarely stayed quiet, also frequently looked at his fishing rod. “Mom, my fishing rod hasn't moved

either. Is it because the small fish don’t like the bait | prepared?”

Hazel turned her head and

and smiled, “Fishing is all about taking it

it slow Seeing the confusion in the eyes of the two little ones, and their restless demeanor, she gently asked,

“Are Jaxon and Joshua feeling hot? Do you want to go back to the house and rest for a while?”

Jaxon shook his head, “It wasn’t hot, | wanted to catch a big fish to make fish soup for my

sister.”

Upon hearing his older brother's words, Joshua also refused to admit defeat and said, “Mom, | will definitely be

able to catch a fish!”

Hazel praised them again and turned her head to her other daughter, “Is Leila tired? Do you want to take a nap?”

Leila shook her head, “Mom, | wasn't sleepy.”

She slipped out of Dylan's arms and picked up the fork on the small table to feed fruits to her mother and

brother.

At the end, | didn’t forget to get one for Dylan too, thanking him for taking care ofearlier.

Leila’s voice was soft and cute, “Uncle, eat.”

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 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 juice on your face, letwipe it off for you,” said Uncle.

Hearing this, she obediently lifted her face and said,

“Thank you, uncle.”

Leila, who let Dylan wipe her cheeks, did not see the disappointment in her father’s eyes not far

away.

Joshua led him by the hand towards the pond and said as they walked, “Dad, my brother and | were fishing in a

competition, but we waited for a long tand didn’t catch any fish”

Jaxon comforted, “It’s okay, little brother, | also didn’t catch any fish.”

The road that Gabriel walked from the gate was not far. His gaze remained on Hazel, burning, urgent, and filled

with an uncontrollable eagerness to clear up the misunderstanding. However, his face always wore a calm and

indifferent expression.

Hazel, apart from initially glancing at him when her daughter called him “uncle,” did not look back at him again.

Gabriel pursed his lips and concealed the emotions in his eyes.

He led his two sons to the edge of the pond and immediately spotted the tiny fish fry in the pond. 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.

and said, “It’s nothing, just cto say thank you.” His gaze fell gently on Hazel’s face, and his tone was filled

with sincere gratitude. Out of politeness, Hazel returned him a smile that said “You're welcome.” 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
