They confronted each other in the living room.
But Hazel couldn’t help it and turned her face away, laughing unabashedly.

“Gabriel, keep your domineering words for other women, They don’t work on me.”
The gradually warming atmosphere was broken by her smile.
Gabriel’s gaze became deep as he looked at her genuine smile, and his eyes darkened.
That was her heartfelt smile, indicating her indifference.
Maybe it was because he looked serious and spoke in a domineering manner, Hazel couldn’t help but laugh.
Unlike her increasingly clear cognition, Gabriel, on the other hand, was gradually becoming puzzled, his eyes keeping focused on her.
The coolness of autumn was dispelled by the heating inside the house.
Gabriel supported himself with both hands on the armrest, trapping her in the middle. Hazel’s face suddenly changed.
He chuckled softly, “Mocking me?”
She huddled into the armchair, gazing at the aloof man. As Hazel watched his body lower, she extended her foot to press against his chest.
Her gaze swept over somewhere, implying, “I don’t think there will be another chance for you to stand up again.”
Gabriel was speechless.
“I’ll tell you one last time. We won’t be together again.”
She got up and was about to push him away when Gabriel lowered his head and said, “Did you ever think about why I didn’t question you when I saw you and Dylan coming out of the same room back then?”
He

Hazel scoffed lightly.
do you think I would rather be cuckolded than divorce you?”
“Do you know what the greatest charm of a man is? It’s the ability to solve problems.
“Why didn’t you ask me the first time you saw the video? Doubt is equivalent to conviction. Haven’t you condemned me in your heart?”
The atmosphere between the two became tense again.
Hazel was not in a hurry to leave.
She continued, “I don’t like holding onto things from five years ago, but you keep bringing it up time and time again. To put it bluntly, don’t you just feel like you’ve been cheated on, yet you still want to be with me? Not mentioning divorce makes you think you’re noble, right?”
Gabriel pursed his lips and said, “No.”
“Okay. But when I asked you what exactly your relationship with Gianna was and why you kept helping her, how did you answer me?”
Hazel’s face turned cold.“You didn’t answer.”
If he had helped her only a few times, she wouldn’t have cared so much.
It was Gabriel’s indulgence that allowed Gianna to continuously provoke her.
If he had given even a single warning to Gianna, she wouldn’t have dared to cause such a scene in front of Hazel.
Hazel curved her lips and leaned closer to him.“Besides Alfred, does anyone else know that I am your wife, Gabriel?”
Their eyes met. Her shadow was reflected in his eyes.“During those years, the Campbell Group was in its prime, and I had made too many
enemies…”
Hazel sneered, “Yeah, that’s why you sent so many bodyguards to protect her. She wanted to enter the entertainment industry, so you paved the way for her, giving her so many privileges and using me as the stepping stone. In the end, you said it was to return her favor. I’m truly touched by your gratitude towards your benefactor.
“I gave birth to two sons for you. I almost died. Why don’t you treat me well? Gabriel, if you had accompanied me to a social event even once, those five years wouldn’t have been so exhausting for me.”
The Campbell Group made an official announcement about them getting married back then. Everyone knew that Gabriel was married. But he kept appearing by another woman’s side, supporting and favoring her, undoubtedly treating Hazel like dirt.
The more Hazel thought about it, the more she wanted to hit him.
People who were not familiar with Hazel would certainly think that she was being hypocritical when they saw her not explaining the hotel

Not only would that make love appear 100 false, but it would also make gratitude seem cheap.
Regardless of whether her values were distorted or not….
She was just like that.
“I need to remind you that I didn’t know Dylan would show up at the hotel, and I had no idea how he would come out of that room following me. Even if you ask me a thousand times, this is still my answer!
“As for you… Gianna is just the trigger. What truly made it unbearable for me was your indifference, which is emotional abuse when it comes to marriage!”
As Hazel spoke, her eyes became red.
“Do you know why I appeared at that hotel? It’s because Wendy’s life was ticking away, and that room held a special significance for her.
“I went to visit a friend who was about to pass away. I tried to save her through my medical skills but failed. Is this reason good enough?
Gabriel wanted to hug her, but he didn’t dare to move.
Just a few minutes later, the laughter in her eyes turned into tears, and her fair skin was stained with a furious blush.
Gabriel’s body sank little by little, with one knee kneeling at the edge of the sofa.
He rested his forehead against the back of the sofa. It appeared from behind as if he was enveloping her in his embrace. Actually, he didn’t even touch her clothes.
Gabriel did not feel the joy he had imagined when he realized that Hazel had no emotional entanglement with Dylan. He felt suffocated.
They were close.
Their breaths were filled with the scent of each other’s bodies.
Though Hazel was sober, she had once succumbed to the brief tenderness from Gabriel, allowing her sanity to break down.
“You probably forgot, but at first, you used to call me Zell, just like Grandpa. After Gianna appeared, you either called me Haze or Hazel.

He answered quickly and confidently this time.
“I never liked Gianna. There is no doubt about it!”
“Really?”
It was Hazel’s reaction.
It made Gabriel heart–wrenching, and his hands curled into fists.
He raised his gaze and said, “Don’t you believe me?”
“It doesn’t matter whether I believe it or not. All I need is that you don’t interfere in my personal life anymore, whether it’s Dylan, Sebastian, or any other man. I have the freedom to be with whoever I choose.
“You and I have divorced.

have even the slightest feelings for me, please gather yourself and don’t make it difficult for Jaxon and Joshua.”
Gabriel had always led a successful life, being admired by others. Only Hazel dared to speak to him so bluntly.
Unfortunately, he was helpless.
This time, he did not stop Hazel anymore.
The driver outside the seaside villa was also observant. Seeing Hazel coming out of the villa alone, he immediately approached and said, “Ms. Robinson, Mr. Campbell asked me to take you back to Top Villa.”
The black Maybach was parked in the yard of the villa, and the driver gestured to another relatively low–key new

Hazel thought for a moment and then got into the back seat.

The driver didn’t say a word and quietly drove Hazel back to Top Villa. He only drove back after she entered the house, waiting for Gabriel’s further instructions.
In a quiet living room, Gabriel sat on the carpet, leaning against the sofa that Hazel had sat on before, with various bottles of alcohol placed on his right side.
The shirt collar, without a tie, was unbuttoned by him, and his noble and cold temperament was dyed with the melancholy of the night.
Why couldn’t they be reconciled…
