Chapter 93
Hazel’s car smoothly entered the Campbell family, one could say without any obstacles. The butler seemed to have known that she would come today and waited at the door to greet her early.
The car stopped at the entrance of the garden.
Hazel pushed open the car door and got straight to the point, asking about the whereabouts of the two children.
“What about Jaxon and Joshua?”
After Gabriel brought the two children back, they were immediately taken back to the old house to have dinner with Arthur.
The butler knew that if he confessed honestly, Hazel would probably never even consider stepping foot into the Campbell family.
But Mr. Campbell had already been waiting in the study for a long time. He sighed in his heart and lowered his gaze respectfully, saying, “Only Mr. Campbell knows the whereabouts of Jaxon and Joshua.”
“Ms. Robinson, Mr. Campbell is waiting for you in the study.”
The other servants in the house had already been cleaned up, and the old butler left after escorting Hazel into the house.
After all, it was a place where Hazel had lived for five years. Although it had been two years since she had been away, the location of the study was not unfamiliar to her.
She suppressed the raging anger in her heart and, disregarding the elevator, walked briskly towards the direction of the stairs.
With the upbringing and politeness ingrained in her, she still knocked on the door before entering.
“Gabriel, open the door!”
But the anger in the voice was still not hidden.
As soon as the words fell, the man obediently came over and opened the door, stepping aside to let her in.
Hazel did not enter the study, and she stood facing Gabriel through a closed door.
“Why did they suddenly take away Jaxon and Joshua?”
Gabriel didn’t intend to hide it from her and confessed, “Arthur called and said he wanted to see his grandson, so I took them back to the old house to have dinner with Arthur.”
Thinking of the respected and highly influential grandfather of the Campbell family, Hazel fell ⚫ silent.
Her five–year marriage with Gabriel, Arthur was considered a good elder in the Campbell family towards her.
“Arthur wanted to see his grandson. I could arrange a car to personally take him there, but took the child an hour earlier and didn’t let anyone inform me. What was your intention?”

She is not stupid. Today, Gianna was just taught a lesson, and in the afternoon, Gabriel personally took away both of his sons. It is impossible to say that there is no connection between
these events.
Although she had a guess in her mind, she still wanted to try if there were any other possibilities.
Hazel curled her fingers and asked in a hoarse voice, “Gabriel, what was your purpose after all?
In front of me, the man was still wearing the suit, with his sword–like eyebrows and starry eyes. His face was stern, completely different from the him in the photo taken at the entrance of the gynecology department.
“You made the bodyguard slap Gianna one hundred times today.”
Hazel closed her eyes and the corner of her mouth on the right side twitched for a moment, full
of sarcasm.
“So, are you going to stand up for her?”
Gabriel frowned and said in a low voice, “I didn’t come to defend her, I just wanted to see you.”
During this period, Hazel had been avoiding him. She blocked his calls, ignored his emails, and didn’t let him enter her house. Gabriel had no choice but to resort to this, and he couldn’t see her at all.
“What did you see me doing?”
She didn’t think there was anything else to talk about between two people except for children.
Gabriel grabbed her arm and said, “Come inside.”
“There was no need for it.”
Hazel turned around and was about to leave, but the man refused to let go no matter what. “Why do I keep helping Gianna over and over again? Come in, I’ll tell you the reason. The Campbell family’s study was very spacious, with a small sitting room outside. On the sofa, there was still the pillow Hazel had bought, light blue, contrasting so vividly with the black sofa.
The coffee table was filled with snacks and fruits. Gabriel pushed the things forward and said, “The butler remembers you and specially prepared the pastries you used to love. Give them a try.”
The Campbell family’s chef may not have cooked the most delicious meals, but their pastry–making skills were unparalleled.
For at least two years after Hazel’s divorce, she never had any snacks that tasted better than those made by the Campbell family chef.

the coffee table.
The man sat on the adjacent single sofa, his voice low and filled with a hint of helplessness in the quiet study.
“Gianna was pregnant.”
Hazel suddenly looked up and said, “Do you want me to let her go?”
Knowing that she would be angry, Gabriel immediately wanted to explain, but before the words

could quickly escape her mouth, his composure was shattered, word by word “Gabriel, are you speaking up for her because the child in her belly is innocent, or because that child is yours?”
The meaning in her words left his explanation frozen on his lips.
Gabriel closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and then continued, “What does Gianna’s child have to do with me?”
“Hazel, why do you always have to accuse me of something? I’ve said it before, I didn’t cheat!”
Hazel quickly adjusted her emotions and replied to him, “But your actions were no different from cheating,”

Hazel turned her face away, refusing to meet the man’s eyes. Her gaze, without focus, casually
landed on a corner.
Gabriel, however, reached out suddenly, and Hazel quickly dodged his approaching hand, retreating into the sofa.
The tall and majestic body, squeezed between the sofa and the coffee table, looked somewhat cramped.
Tightly clasping the fingertips in the palm, he slowly pried them apart, his slender fingers with distinct knuckles interlocking tightly with hers, leaving her unable to break free. Gabriel asked, “Hazel, I never thought about leaving you before.”
Even though he was much taller than her even when squatting, he was willing to lower his proud head for her, as if surrendering to her.
“Can we talk calmly?”
A quiet study room.
The clock hands rotated in circles on the wall.
Gabriel’s voice was naturally magnetic, and when he spoke in a calm and serious tone, it was easy for people to be transported back to that environment.
“Gianna saved Joshua’s life.”
From Gabriel’s calm narration, Hazel finally learned the reason why he helped Gianna, and she couldn’t help but find it even more ridiculous.
“Joshua was almost kidnapped by human traffickers, but Gianna saved him at the risk of her life. the hospital.” As a result, she was stabbed by the traffickers and admitted to “The knife injured her uterus, and the doctor said she might never be able to conceive for the rest of her life. This is too heavy a burden for a woman.”
Gabriel always paid attention to Hazel’s emotions, and his voice was steady without any fluctuations, afraid that she might misunderstand his thoughts about Gianna through his voice. Hazel nodded, “Hmm, it was a touching story.”
She raised the corners of her mouth and gave a slight chuckle, asking him in return,“Just, so what?”

Hazel’s reaction was beyond Gabriel’s expectations.
Merer
He thought she would be surprised, would forgive, would sigh, but he never expected that Hazel would only have irony and self–mockery at the moment.
He tightly held her soft hand in his palm, furrowing his brows as he called out to her. Hazel continued to stare into his eyes and asked, “Do you need me, as a child’s mother, to be grateful and indebted to you for the rest of my life, treating you like an ancestor?”
