Chapter190. 

Just then, the waiter came over and delivered the hangover cure.

Alfred took the initiative to introduce himself and took over the task of feeding Lucia the hangover cure. Hazel did not refuse. 

She wanted to see what this man’s attitude toward Lucia was. 

Lucia looked at the person in front of her in a daze.“Alfred?” 

The man responded, “It’s me.” 

Hearing it, Lucia slapped him. 

She snorted coldly and said, “You are not Alfred. He would never be so gentle with me. If you dare to impersonate him, you’re dead. Alfred is 

very petty.” 

Hazel’s understanding of Alfred mostly came from Lucia’s descriptions of him.

Alfred sighed.“I know.” 

He didn’t argue with a drunk woman. After feeding Lucia with half a cup of the hangover cure, he embraced her in his arms. 

Alfred said, “I’ll take her home first.” 

Hazel asked for Lucia’s opinion, “Do you want to go home with Alfred?”

The hangover cure at Olive Park was developed by Hazel. It was a special concoction that had stronger detoxifying effects and worked faster than other products on the market. 

Seeing that Lucia did not resist Alfred, Hazel instantly understood her intention. 

Even so, she still reminded Alfred, “She is drunk.” 

What would happen when someone was drunk? Everyone understood. 

Although Lucia and Alfred were married, it was a business alliance. Moreover, Lucia was drunk. If Alfred wanted to do anything to her, she probably wouldn’t be able to react in time. 

But she liked Alfred in her heart. 

Hazel’s words were a reminder to Alfred that even if they were married, there were still certain things that needed to be done when they were both sober. 

Of course, if Lucia forced him, Hazel didn’t have a problem with it. 

She didn’t need to make things so clear. 

Alfred glanced down at the person in his arms and nodded.

Gabriel’s voice was low.“I’ll take you back home.” 

“No need. I have a driver.” Hazel refused without hesitation. 

She drank 

some wine with 

Lucia, but 

not 

much. Besides a 

faint smell of alcohol, she was completely sober. Hazel walked to her coat and bag. Then she got dressed and headed outside. Behind her, the steady and orderly footsteps of a man sounded. 

Every private room here was very quiet. 

Hazel’s exclusive private room was even more quieter, 

She walked through the exquisite classical–style garden and stood alone in the courtyard. She saw Sebastian, whom she had just met a couple of days ago. 

All three of them fell silent.

The overall impression of Sebastian was like the gently flowing water beneath the artificial mountain, warm, comfortable, and non–aggressive. 

He was still dressed in a casual gray outfit today, with his shoulder–length hair casually tied up. He looked elegant. 

When Gabriel saw him, his aura suddenly changed 

Ignoring the constant chill he emanated, Sebastian walked straight up to Hazel His blue pupils were filled with her reflection 

“Haze, I had something very important to tell you? 

His voice coincided with the sound of flowing water beneath the artificial mountain, and the familiar scent of his perfume faintly wafted in the air, which was as gentle as he was. 

The courtyard landscaping was personally overseen by Hazel, including each light design. 

With half of his face hidden in the dimness, Gabriel blinked twice. Upon hearing his words, Gabriel also looked at Sebastian. 

Sebastian was clearly waiting for her here. Gabriel knew that if he didn’t listen today, Sebastian would still appear in front of her. 

She glanced at the time and nodded. “Okay.” 

Gabriel’s eyes turned cold. He pursed his thin lips. He stared at Hazel with a 

She noticed the change in his mood. 

He was angry. 

But he had nothing to do with her anymore. 

Hazel followed Sebastian to his private room and saw that he hadn’t eaten any of it. 

As the boss, she asked, “Are you not satisfied with the food?

Sebastian paused for a moment and slowly said, “I’m satisfied. It’s just that I have poor appetite lately.” 

After he said that, Hazel also noticed that he had lost some weight since his time in Akron, and his jawline had become even sharper. 

Sebastian had a coffee table in the private room he reserved, but this time he was the one making coffee. He was very skilled, probably having received specialized training. 

“I knew everything happened before.” 

His voice was filled with guilt as he said, Although it has been a long time, I still want to apologize to you.” Back in Los Angeles, Sebastian immediately found his mother and grandmother, only to discover that his father’s affair had been exposed. Sebastian’s illusion of a perfect family was shattered when he discovered that his father, whom he held in high regard, was having an affair with a young woman who looked like his mother. 

And her mother, infuriated by this news, fainted in anger. She cried every day and asked her husband to get rid of that young woman. Abbie never imagined that her son would actually have an affair. Moreover, he was having an affair with someone who looked like his wife. Sebastian’s father left his family to be with Alanna. It seemed so ridiculous now.

Hazel quietly listened to the recent events happening in the Stevens family and did not make any comments

She looked up at him without answering his question. 

Sebastian could feel that there was an invisible wall between them now. 

He wanted to go over, but she didn’t want him to come. 

Sebastian had finally dealt with his father’s matter. Another problem arose with his aunt Annabella and her husband’s family. Payton wanted to divorce her aunt and replace her with another woman, but Abbie absolutely did not allow this to happen! she sent Sebastian over to support her daughter. She didn’t want to let her daughter be wronged, so He didn’t know so many things had happened before he returned to the country. The love of his parents in the past was like a fairytale book wrapped in honey. Now, it was no longer sweet anymore. As a man, Sebastian couldn’t understand why his father and uncle would cheat on their partners. He felt disgusted in his heart. Was being faithful such a difficult thing? 

He thought of Hazel and the days when they went to school, did homework, and chatted together in the past. Those memories gradually 

became an obsession. 

There were some things he couldn’t say to his family, and he couldn’t bring himself to talk to his friends either, but he could tell Hazel. “I am sorry for everything the Stevens family has done to you in the past. I will do my best to make it up to you, and this promise is valid for a

“If you are willing, I can…”

His words were cut short as Gabriel forcefully pushed open the door from outside. With a cold expression, he entered and grabbed Hazel’s hand. 

Gabriel said, “Come with me.”
