After finishing the call, Hazel put on a long face.
While pondering the other person’s intentions, she felt that her lower leg was embraced by a pair of small hands, and a comforting child’s voice sounded.

saying “Mom, give me a hug” Ethan, who brought her over, leaned against the door and joked, ‘She knows you are at home and doesn’t like me anymore.”
“Uncle, cheeky.”

Hazel
Hazel was very busy these days, so Leila followed Ethan around. It had been a long time since she had been close to her mother, so as soon as she saw Hazel, she started to act coquettishly. After playing with her mom for a while, Leila fell asleep. Hazel carried her to bed, covered her with a blanket, and left with the door not firmly closed. She then went to the sofa outside the room to chat with Ethan.
She pondered and said, “I will take Leila to Los Angeles in a while.”

Ethan’s face.
“No, you don’t have to. I’m telling you because I need you to take care of the things over in Akron for me.”
Ethan knew that she was planning to build a research institute in her home country that would rival ZN Laboratory. He nodded but still had some doubts.
“Hazel, Los Angeles is not a good place for both of us. Why do you still want to go back?”
Hazel’s face turned cold as she thought about what the person on the phone had just said.
The person who made the phone call was not a stranger.
It was Abbie who took her from Nyack to Los Angeles that year.
“There were some things that I couldn’t do anything about back then, but now… I can’t let people keep stepping on me all the time. I have to reclaim the grievances I have suffered and the lost self–esteem myself.”
And she also wanted to know what the “treasure” that her grandmother promised to give Abbie
was.
Abbie couldn’t forget it after more than ten years.
The sadness that always lingered around Ethan became even more intense at this moment. He remained silent, lowering his gaze.“Reclaim by herself?”

As soon as she woke up, Leila went into the cloakroom and picked out a little dress to wear for the day.
Her cloakroom was filled with clothes bought by her elders, with the majority being gifts from her two godmothers. Especially Lucia, who was crazy about her beloved daughter, bought her many limited edition pieces from the fashion show a few days ago.
Leila held up one little dress after another in front of the mirror, occasionally turning back to ask Hazel for her opinion.
Ethan waited downstairs for a long time, but he didn’t see the two of them coming downstairs. So he went upstairs to urge them.
“Why haven’t you come down to have breakfast yet?”
“You see for yourself.”
In Leila’s cloakroom, the sofa was piled with various dresses. Ethan crossed his arms in front of his chest and couldn’t help but shake his head as if he saw scenes of Leila going out on dates in the future.
“Mom, I will wear this.”
Finally, Leila chose the dress she wanted to wear.
She turned around and saw Ethan, her eyes lit up.“Uncle, Leila looks beautiful.” Ethan walked over and lifted her, smiling.“Our little princess looks good in anything.” Upon hearing the words, Leila happily kicked her two little legs and held her chosen dress in her hands.
Ethan hung her dress on the nearby rack and said softly, “Go have breakfast first. It’s still too early for the parent–teacher meeting. After breakfast, I will tie your hair into a pretty ponytail. Hazel listened to the conversation between them and smiled helplessly and indulgently. Ethan often said that it was she and their daughter who gave warmth to his home, but he also gave them happiness in return.
When Hazel took Leila to kindergarten, Jaxon and Joshua were already eagerly waiting.
As soon
as they saw them get out of the car, they rushed over.“Mom! Leila!” Leila wore a pretty little dress with a new hairstyle created by Ethan, looking very cute. She held the hands of her two brothers and warmly greeted Gabriel, who came along behind Jaxon and Joshua.
Gabriel wore besides suits for most of the time and had very few clothes of other styles. He was wearing a white casual shirt with jeans, and a long khaki windbreaker. This outfit he had on today was all casual wear that Hazel had bought for him in the past. But obviously, Hazel had already forgotten.

Hazel and Leila had just gotten out of the car when Sebastian, dressed in sportswear, stepped out
of the back seat of the Rolls–Royce that was following behind them. He walked straight towards

The man’s voice was warm and gentle.“Haze, we meet again.”
Hazel nodded in a plain expression.
Sebastian didn’t feel that she was cold, so he walked over and continued talking to her.
Gabriel’s steady pace paused for a second, and his fingers tightened by his side as he silently gazed at the two people.
Hazel didn’t wear a very extravagant dress as Joshua expected, but she still wore a very elegant white
gown.
Compared to other formal dresses that appeared during the banquet, her outfit looked exceptionally clean and simple, yet it still caught people’s attention.
When Jaxon and Joshua started school, it was Hazel who brought them to complete the enrollment procedures.
Therefore, the principal and teachers of the kindergarten did not know that they were the two young masters of the Campbell family.
Today, when Gabriel appeared here, everyone was drawn to his cold and powerful aura, and they were all curious about his identity.
Someone here had previously collaborated with the Campbell Group, so they recognized Gabriel and began telling their children. to make friends with Jaxon and Joshua.
Not surprisingly, when Hazel walked in holding one son’s hand, Jaxon held Leila’s hand, and Gabriel silently followed behind, their appearance caused quite a stir in the kindergarten.
The atmosphere around froze for a moment.

Sebastian had just sat down when he heard Leila’s voice. He turned his head and met her sparkling eyes, smiling gently.“Leila, long time no see.”
Gabriel felt an indescribable tinge of jealousy in his heart when he saw Leila’s affection for Sebastian once again.
The little girl sitting next to Sebastian grabbed his hand tightly and said, “Sebastian, you are mine. You are not allowed to talk to her.”
Sebastian
lowered his head and said, “Courtney, you couldn’t be SO rude.” Leila blinked her eyes when feeling the hostility from the girl and immediately withdrew her
enthusiasm towards Sebastian.
Sitting quietly in Hazel’s arms, Leila listened to the teacher speaking at the front of the classroom.

Hazel turned around while holding her daughter, gently patting her back to bring her closer to Joshua by her side.
Although Hazel didn’t know the girl, she knew the girl’s mother. It was Annabella Stevens of the Stevens family who had married a man in Seattle.
Abbie got this daughter late. Annabella was Sebastian’s aunt but was not much older than him. She asked her younger brother to attend the activity. It seemed that Annabella’s position in the Reed family was indeed as awkward as the rumors said.
It was called a teacher–parent meeting, but it was actually more of an interactive session between parents and children.
The teacher first awarded the students in the class with small red flowers, using various awards to ensure that every student in the class received a reward, and invited parents to come on stage to grant the awards to their children.
Jaxon and Joshua looked at Hazel with anticipation as she smiled and led them onto the stage. Leila was not tall, and other parents were sitting in front of her, blocking her view. She hesitated for a moment and then went to Gabriel.
