“...I was alone.”

Hazel’s voice was soft, and every word fell on Gabriel's heart as if it weighed a thousand pounds. His heart felt

as if it had been fiercely squeezed.

The man had sharp eyebrows and eyes, leaning back in the study chair. His long and slender legs were lazily and

casually placed. The buttons on his shirt collar were unbuttoned by him.

Just now, when she said that she was alone in the hospital, her voice was unusually low, and a strange heat

spread from her chest, causing him to catch his breath, and even the surrounding temperature began to rise.

Gabriel held his breath and asked her, “Why didn’t you tell me?”

Hazel forced a smile and said, “I called you many times, but your

many times, but you didn’t answer.” He asked her, “Were you sick? Why were you hospitalized?”

speaking, “It didn’t matter anymore.”

She picked a few more things during their secret marriage period, and Gabriels indifference to sof the

things that made her feel wronged deepened his sense of gloom.

“You see, you did bullyquite a few times.”

“Sorry.”

From the first sound on Gabriel's phone, Hazel could tell that there was something off with his voice. It was only

when he drank that his voice becso deep.

At this moment, she heard his apology again, which made her even more certain.

“So, Gabriel, two years ago we could part ways amicably, why can’t we peacefully coexist for the sake of our

child two years later?”

Gabriel rubbed his sore and swollen forehead.

He had dinner with several older clients today and drank a lot of white wine. At this moment, he was feeling

drunk, and in his ears were her soft and gentle whispers, making it difficult for hig to distinguish between dreams

and reality for a while.

Gabriel: “The custody of the children belongs to me. You can cand see them anytime. What difference does

it make if the custody belongs to you and | go to see thuh?*.

Hazel told herself to calm down. The more she argued, the less likely she would get custody. She took a deep

breath and slowly exhaled.

“Since there was no difference, why didn’t you agree?”

Gabriel looked at the family photo on the desk, while he was eloquently arguing at the negotiation table without

changing his expression, his throat seemed to be blocked by something at that moment.

We could only hear each other's breathing over the phone.

Very light, very light.

The two people were silent for a moment.

Suddenly, the door of Gabriel's study was knocked, and he furrowed his brow. At this time, the butler or maid

wouldn't cto disturb him.

“Gabriel, are you there?”

Gianna's sweet voice cfrom outside the door.

In a daze, Gabriel's heart suddenly skipped a beat, tightened abruptly, and instinctively focused on the sound of

breathing on the other end of the phone.

Sure enough, Hazel’s breath changed.

The atmosphere between the two people had just finally becharmonious, but with Gianna’s appearance,

there was once again a change.

There ca barely audible sneer from the opposite side.

He wanted to explain, but Hazel had already hung up the phone.

The drunkenness in the eyes faded away in an instant.

Gabriel rubbed his slightly throbbing temples, drank swarm water, and waited for the drunkenness to

dissipate before going to open the door.

Outside the door, Gianna was wearing only a black lace camisole, the thin fabric clinging closely to her body,

barely covering her buttocks.

The white gauze on her cheeks added a touch of innocent fragility to her, and the strong scent of rose perfume

filled the air.

Gabriel furrowed his brow and took two steps back, his gaze falling on her eyes, completely ignoring the

ambiguous atmosphere she had deliberately created.

He looked somewhat angry and said, “It's so late, do you have something to do?”

Blushing, she asked in a tender voice, “I need to change the medicine on my face, but the disinfectant is gone. |

couldn't find where the medicine box is.”

Gianna intentionally bent over, her captivating gaze shimmering under the lights. However, Gabriel's eyes never

wavered for a moment.

You returned to the guest room in the annex, and the butler would take care of you.” She saw the man indifferent

to her figure, with tears in her eyes, she raised her

gaze and looked at him, wanting to speak but hesitating, her eyes were full of dependence on bin

‘Sorry, Gabriel, did | disturb you?”

She bit her lip in pretended annoyance and said, “I am such a fool, always doing stupid things in front of you.

Gianna took a step forward and reached out to pull Gabriel's shirt, her voice soft and alluring. ‘Hazel, she... even

“Gabriel, | am now alone and have no one else but you. You won't abandonand leaveall alone, right?”

Gabriel sidestepped.

Her fingertips didn’t even touch the edge of his clothes when she saw him quickly take two steps

ack and create distance.

The man distanced himself and said, “I know you have romantic feelings for me, but we are just friends. Please

go back.”

Downstairs, the sound of the butler and the maid moving about could be heard. Gianna bit her lip and forcefully

pulled down the straps of her lace nightgown.

Gabriel was faster.

He turned around and went back to the study directly, closing the door.

Gianna stood frozen in place, her chest feeling cold and tender, but she did not receive Gabriel's

gaze.

She slumped down at the door and shouted, her tone filled with sadness and fear, “Gabriel. I'm sorry, I, | just

miss my mom and dad too much...”

“Now only you could save them, Gabriel, | beg you to help me. The Lewis family was framed, my parents were

innocent!”

Gabriel's voice, devoid of the gentleness he used to have towards her, sounded icy and frosty, making it

impossible for anyone to discern his true emotions.

“Gianna, you were not sober now, go back to your room and rest well. | will have someone follow up on the

things you promised, you don’t have to worry about it.”

Heard the sound of the butler and the maid going upstairs.

Gianna hurriedly put on her clothes..

Seeing Gianna standing coolly at the door of the study, with a sorrowful look in her eyes, the butler and the

servants exchanged a glance, feeling quite shocked.

The maid spoke, “Ms. Lewis, letescort you back to your room.”

Although Gianna’s advances were rejected tonight, at least she has now moved in with the Campbell family.

Although it was just a secondary building where the housekeeper lived, it was still the Campbell, family’s house,

which was a great achievement for her.

“Gabriel, I'm sorry, | let the Lewis family’s situation cloud my judgment and did something irrational tonight.”

“I won't do this again in the future, I'm truly sorry,”

She raised her proud head in front of the maid, straightened her back, and pretended to leave the second-floor

study with strength.

After the others left, Gabriel cout of the study.

He only glanced at the butler.

The latter immediately understood and apologized directly to him, “Mr. Campbell, it was my negligence, | will

definitely be more careful in the future.”

The main building's entrance had a password lock.
