Chapter142.

At the top–floor restaurant of Westfield Southcenter…

When

Sebastian arrived, Gabriel was waiting for him in the private room.

Both men were distinguished figures in their own right, but since Los Angeles and Seattle were far apart, Sebastian’s first sight of Gabriel had been at Hazel’s wedding.

The second time he met Gabriel was when he recently visited Seattle to discuss a collaboration.

Today marked their third meeting.

Both men were aware of each other’s relationship with Hazel.

While Sebastian had known about Gabriel for seven years, it was only this year, after an investigation into Hazel’s past, that Gabriel had learned of Sebastian’s existence.

They were usually rational, and despite this layer of connection, they could still shake hands and work together on a project.

“Mr. Campbell, I wish for a smooth collaboration between the Stevens Group and the Campbell Group.”

A week passed.

On Saturday morning, Ethan had arranged to race cars with his friends, so he was out of the house early.

After breakfast, the three children practiced writing for a while and then played with a puzzle on the carpet in the playroom.

Leila handed pieces of the puzzle, and Jaxon and Joshua worked together to assemble it. The three siblings worked in perfect harmony.

They had been working on a 2,000–piece puzzle for several days, and there were only a few hundred pieces left to complete.

Hazel was sitting with them.

Just as they finished putting a piece together, Joshua ran over holding his bank card, smiling widely as he said, “Mom, can I treat you, Jaxon, and Leila to a meal today?”

Hazel was a bit confused but didn’t want to dampen the kids‘ excitement.

She held Leila in her arms and said, “Sure. Leila, Joshua’s treating us, what should we say?” Leila tilted her head and said, “Thank you, Joshua.”

Joshua scratched his head and said, “That’s okay.”

Jaxon ran over and said, “Mom, I have a card too. I can treat everyone to a seafood feast, which Leila loves the most.”

Hazel patted both of her sons heads and said, “You two are both great.” Leila, curious about the cards in Jaxon and Joshua’s hands, thought of her own piggy bank.

She wondered, “Does a black card mean a big feast?

“Well, I have one too! And a lot more!”
