Chapter 18 Hazel Hires a Lawyer 

Gianna dialed Gabriel’s work phone number. 

At that time, Gabriel’s mobile phone was connected to the computer at that moment, while everyone was deeply immersed in listening to one’s presentation.. 

When Gianna’s phone rang, the person who was giving a presentation was so shocked that his hand trembled, and he answered the phone just like that. 

When Hazel’s voice resounded from the speakers, it happened to be at the part where she was mentioning Gabriel’s first kiss and sex…. 

Everyone in the meeting room heard what she said. 

Ezra and the other employees hung their heads low, not daring to look at Gabriel’s extremely Soomy face.

two pieces by him. 

Ezra immediately hung up Gabriel’s phone. 

The sound system in the meeting room of the Campbell Group was excellent. Every pause and breath of Hazel’s speech could be heard clearly. 

Gabriel’s face was as sullen, his cold eyes sweeping around, and his voice was icy cold. 

“Go on!” 

In Goldfish Resort. 

After driving away the annoying Gianna, Hazel returned to the restaurant and had dinner with the three children before returning to the room together. 

In the room, three children were having fun while holding pillows. 

Lucia stayed until Hazel finished taking a shower before returning to the room. Hazel played with the kids for a while and then started urging them to go to sleep. 

After playing all day, the kids almost ran out of their energy. 

They fell asleep before finishing listening to a bedtime story. 

Hazel closed the bedroom door gently and tiptoed into the living room to start replying to 

messages. 

John was very efficient and sent over the information of several lawyers in just one afternoon. 

She carefully examined their information one by one, selected the most experienced lawyer, and asked John to arrange for someone to contact the lawyer. 

Gradually, Hazel felt sleepy. 

Hazel had just been about to return to her bedroom when she heard a knock at the door. 

She glanced at the time. It was 11 o’clock at midnight. 

It would definitely not be Lucia. 

Somehow, someone’s image appeared in her mind. 

HT 

Hazel felt that it was impossible. 

She peeked through the peephole at the door, and a tall, upright male figure came into sight. His nose was high–bridged, his lips were thin, and his facial features were exquisitely perfect. In the dim light of the corridor, they seemed especially charming. 

It really was Gabriel. 

The 

moment Hazel opened the door, the

smell of alcohol 

hit her face. 

She didn’t like the taste of alcohol, and the disdain in her eyes remained as always. Gabriel’s pitch–black eyes fixed on her intently, like a hawk’s. The corners of his cold, composed eyes tilted slightly downwards, and his gaze was completely placid, as he watched her in silence. He came here in the middle of the night without saying a word, which left her somewhat Puzzled. 

Hazel gently spoke, “Mr. Campbell…” 

Gabriel sneered, and a chill reached the depths of his eyes. 

There was a noticeable emotional fluctuation on his gloomy face as soon as he heard what Hazel said. 

He walked straight into the room. 

His black suit added to his cold and aloof aura, highlighting his broad shoulders, narrow waist, and long legs. To Hazel, he was the most handsome man she had ever seen in a suit. Gabriel carried the two children out of the bedroom and swiftly entered the suite across the corridor. 

Hazel didn’t want to wake up the children, so she didn’t say anything to stop 

him. 

She blinked her confused eyes and looked at the closed door opposite, not understanding why Gabriel was suddenly angry with her. 

Did Gianna say anything to slander her again? 

Hazel felt that Gianna made a fast move. 

However, as Hazel shook her head, reflecting on the days of their secret marriage, she came to the realization that keeping her distance from

But… 

men would keep her carefree. 

The children were with their father, and she shouldn’t have worried, but Hazel couldn’t forget the strong smell of alcohol on Gabriel. 

Gabriel put the children on the bed and gently covered them with a blanket. They groggily opened their eyes, “Dad…” 

Gabriel responded, “I’m here.” 

The two children, upon seeing him, fell back asleep in relief. 

He came out of the bathroom after taking a cold shower. 

The doorbell rang just now. 

The hotel’s smart robot delivered a hangover cure. His heavy and suppressed emotion stirred eilently in his hear 

He closed the door of the room expressionlessly. 

Hazel, who 

in her room, breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing this. Although Gabriel did not take the hangover cure, she could tell from his expression that he had already sobered up. She was reassured that he would be able to take care of the children. 

Holding Leila, she slept until dawn. 

The next morning 

Hazel took Leila to find Jaxon and Joshua. She knocked on the door, but no one opened it for a long time. 

fazel asked the receptionist and found out that Gabriel had left early in the morning with them, in a hurry, as if there was something urgent. 

However, she soon found out what this urgent matter was. 

On the first trending topic, there was a photo. 

In the ward, the pale–faced Gianna lay on the hospital bed, tears in her eyes, a smile on her lips, gazing affectionately at Gabriel and children by her bedside. 

The topic was The business tycoon and the gentle actress“. 

This charged moment, perhaps captured in a fictional photo, deeply moved netizens. They took up their pens one by one, eager to craft a romantic love story of mending broken hearts, 

in the Hazel’s relationship might unfold imagining how Gabriel and 

the future 

Hazel sat on the sofa, holding her daughter, while Lucia hesitated to say something. 

Hazel turned her head and smiled, “I’m fine.” 

She had already experienced it two years ago, and now she was just reliving i 

Time could heal all wounds, and for Gabriel now, he was just the father of her children. Leila held her face and kissed her cheek, her clear eyes filled with love for her. 

“Mom, I will always love you.” 

Lucia’s eyes welled up with tears, “Leila… is so sweet.” 

Hazel agreed wholeheartedly with her good friend’s words, and she lowered her head to Leila’s forehead. Leila was another gift sent to her by heaven. 

to kiss 

Since the moment she was pregnant with Leila, Hazel had been blessed. Leila, even in the womb, never caused her any discomfort. After Leila was born, she was incredibly well–behaved and intelligent. 

“Good girl, I love you too. 

I will always love you.” 

On the day when Gianna was discharged from the hospital, she rode in the car of the Campbell family. 

Despite being a newcomer, she enjoyed the support of the powerful Campbell family. As a result, she was naturally showered with numerous good resources. 

Le day after Lucia returned from the Goldfish Resort, she went straight to the filming set. Hazel Went home with her daughter. 

Hazel hired a nanny specifically to take care of Leila, and security guards were arranged both inside and outside the villa. No one was allowed to enter without her permission. 

These days, Hazel’s mind has been preoccupied with the custody issue. She has already reached out to a lawyer and, following the lawyer’s instructions, arranged for someone to prepare the requisite documents. 

She knew that it was a tough battle. 

If she lost the battle, it was very likely that she would never see Jaxon for the rest of her life, as for Joshua she was hesitating. 

Compared to Hazel, he clearly preferred Gabriel and Gianna, and Hazel did not have confidence. 

in this battle. 

Mr. Campbell, a lawyer wants to see you. 

When Gabriel learned that Hazel had indeed hired a lawyer to fight for custody, his face turned pale. 

A sense of indifference shrouded Gabriel’s clear and refined eyes, as his deep, dark eyes. narrowed into a scrutinizing arc. 

In his office, Gabriel’s slender fingers, with their distinct knuckles, suddenly clenched into a fist. He then tapped it оп the desk, the sharp sound shattering the silence. 

He looked at Ezra and said, “Do I still need to teach you how to do it? I don’t want to see those trending topics. Make sure no one will talk of those shits!” 

Ezra was startled. “I’m on it!” 

Gabriel leaned back on the chair, his gaze falling on the family photo on the table. This was taken in the year when Jaxon and Joshua were just born. 

He had put it on his table for six years. 

His eyes, dark and inscrutable, made it impossible to discern his true emotions. Hazel had just returned after her meeting with the lawyer. She was attired in a simplistic yet. refreshing white silk dress and sleek silver high–heeled shoes. Her long tresses were artfully curled, framing her face in a soft, alluring manner. She seemed to radiate, holding the onlookers unable to tear their eyes away.

As soon as she she saw a familiar black Maybach parked in front of her house, with no sign of a driver in the driver’s seat. 

The backseat partition rose up. 

She couldn’t see if there was anyone in the back seat of the car.
