Dylan’s leg has fully recovered.
He came over with the gift right away to thank Hazel and made a reservation at a restaurant to treat her to a meal.
“Hazel, after all, we were college classmates, and you even saved my life. I don’t think you would refuse to have a meal with me, would you?”
He squatted in front of Leila, smiling as he gently ruffled her soft hair, and whispered, “Leila, am I right?”
Leila’s eyes curved like a crescent moon, and upon hearing that she could go out to eat, she nodded without hesitation and said, “Yes!”
Hazel happened to want to talk to Dylan about not giving any more gifts to the Robinson family, so she agreed to his invitation for dinner the next day.
Dylan didn’t stay long with the Robinson family.
Although he was determined to pursue Hazel’s heart, he understood the importance of restraint and taking things slowly. He knew that if he overstepped his boundaries, he could easily scare her away or even make her avoid him.
I have waited for seven years, so I can wait for this moment.
Dylan wants to thank Gabriel’s clueless wooden head about love. If it weren’t for his repeated rejections, he wouldn’t have had this opportunity.
The next morning.
Gabriel had just finished a quarterly meeting when he heard the news reported by Ezra. “Mr. Campbell, Ms. Robinson, and Dylan went out on a date.”
The man’s footsteps paused for a moment and then he continued walking towards the office. Ezra immediately followed and continued, “Dylan had booked a private kitchen restaurant, located at 99 Road.”
This address was not unfamiliar to Gabriel.
Because he and Hazel have also been there, this restaurant is most famous for its limited–edition couple set menu, and there is no seating available without a reservation in advance. “This private kitchen is very famous. I have booked a table for Saturday. Gabriel, would accompany me to give it a try?”

The words Hazel had said echoed in Gabriel’s ears, and he thought about her going to this restaurant with Dylan, his whole face turned black.
Dylan booked the best private room.
He had contacted the restaurant in advance and arranged for a baby chair and baby meal. He even skillfully put on a bib for Leila and took the initiative to take on the task of feeding her. Leila arrogantly waved her hand and said, “No need.”
She skillfully used children’s utensils, took a bite, and showed her appetite to Dylan with a loud “ah–woo“, laughing brighter than the sun.

Hazel sat beside her daughter, wiping her mouth and saying, “Leila never needed adults to take care of her while eating, she could do it herself.”
Looking at Leila’s well–behaved eating manner, Dylan felt like his whole heart was melting.
Before meeting Leila, he had never realized how much he liked
His eyes softened as he said, “Leila was very well–behaved.”
children.
Upon hearing Dylan’s praise, Leila’s gaze shifted away from her small bowl and she bestowed upon him a big, big smile.
Leila:“Dylan, let’s eat.”
After saying that, she once again focused on her own plate. When it came to eating, Leila was the most passionate in their family.
The private rooms of this private restaurant were not completely enclosed, as the hollow wooden carved doors could not fully block the view inside.
The scene of Hazel happily talking with her daughter and Dylan stung Gabriel’s eyes.
Ezra sat next to him, not daring to say a word, with a table full of delicious food, Gabriel didn’t eat a bit, only he was eating.
Watching his own boss in his current state of being ousted, he sighed silently in his heart: If only I had known today, why did I have to do it in the first place.
This ex–wife, who was always distant and divorced, was not so easily appeased.
Unfortunately, his boss at home was not good at expressing his emotions. Even if people were burned to ashes, his boss’s mouth would still remain stubborn!
Gabriel thought that Leila was only close to him, but he saw her smiling brightly and warmly at Dylan, with no apparent difference in how she treated him.
The feeling of being suffocated in my heart became even stronger.
Hazel and Leila had no idea that the person in the next compartment was Gabriel. One of them was enjoying her meal, while the other was having a pleasant conversation with Dylan.
Dylan was kidnapped when he was young and was raised by a foster mother.
The exercise of living in poverty, made him have a little more endurance than others when dealing with things, and once he made up his mind, he would stick to it till the end.
When this meal was almost finished, Hazel expressed her thoughts in a joking manner.
“Dylan, I did have your thank–you meal, so please don’t send any more gifts to the Robinson family in the future.”
The man understood her meaning and continued with her words, “Hmm, the gifts I gave before were all tokens of gratitude, so I won’t give any more in the future.”
The subsequent gift was his pursuit of Hazel.
What she cared most about were her three children.
Having immersed himself in the shopping mall for so many years, Dylan knows best how to cater to people’s preferences. He has already sent someone to collect various toys that children would love.
The three of them enjoyed this meal very happily.

Until Dylan took Hazel and the child back, Gabriel sat in the compartment with a cold face. Ezra coughed and said, “Mr. Campbell, don’t you want to have something to eat?” He was full, but his boss at home didn’t eat a bite.
Where Gabriel could no longer eat, he got up and walked outside, and Ezra immediately followed.
In order to avoid being discovered by Hazel, Gabriel had Ezra change the car, and they followed Dylan’s car all the way to the Robinson family.
Hazel got off the car, holding her daughter, and thanked Dylan for driving them back.
“Wait a moment.”
Dylan briskly walked to the trunk and took out two bunches of powdered lychees, one big and one small.

“Hazel, I thought I would have to be in a wheelchair for the rest of
my life, but made me stand up again. I am truly grateful. If you don’t want to accept a valuable gift, then please accept these flowers as a token of my gratitude.”
“Don’t worry, this is the last bouquet of flowers to express gratitude,” he said with a sincere tone, and there was no other emotion beyond gratitude in his eyes.
Dylan still knew Hazel to some extent. He didn’t dare to immediately express his feelings, slowly blending in was currently the best approach.
Hazel was not a shy person either. He spoke his mind to such an extent that it was a bit embarrassing for her to refuse any further.
Moreover, she is currently single, so even if she were to receive a bouquet of flowers from the opposite sex, what difference would it make?
Hazel took the flowers and said, “Thank you.”
Dylan smiled at her, lowered his head and handed the smaller bouquet to Leila in Hazel’s arms and continued, “Leila gave me candy, so this bouquet is an exchange for the candy, okay?” Leila looked at the big bouquet in her mother’s hands, then looked at the small bouquet in her own hands. Her clear and lively eyes were filled with twinkling joy.
She held the flowers in her arms and sweetly said, “Thank you.”
Today’s progress has exceeded Dylan’s expectations. He was satisfied with the results of the day and left after delivering the flowers, citing work as the reason.
Originally worried that the flower had other meanings, Hazel, seeing the man’s indifferent expression, didn’t think much about it anymore.
Leila shook the small bouquet in her arms and pointed at the bouquet in Hazel’s hands, cutely saying, “Mom’s, Leila’s.”
Dylan really managed to win Leila’s heart with his gift. She happily got down from Hazel’s arms, with one hand holding flowers and the other hand holding his, taking joyful little steps towards home.
Seeing her daughter so happy, Hazel’s face also lit up with a smile.
This scene was glaring in Gabriel’s eyes, and he suddenly asked Ezra, “Do you think they were a good match?”

The latter dare not answer directly and said politely, “Mr. Campbell, Ms. Robinson is beautifu and single, so it is normal for her to have suitors.”
