In MH Group Headquarters…

Neil was browsing through a few documents on his desk when his assistant entered his room. 

Assistant Shawn walked over to him and placed a few documents on his table. "President Mo, this is the information on the properties that you have asked. "

Neil took a look at the documents and took out a few properties that he liked. He pointed the documents to Assistant Shawn and spoke, "Let's choose these two first. Later I will take my wife to take a look at the site."

Assistant Shawn glanced at the documents that his boss had picked up and nodded. Then, the two of them continued to discuss a few things regarding their company before the assistant left.

At this time, Neil's phone on the table rang. The moment he saw the name on the screen, his expression softened. He picked up the phone and slid his finger on the screen.

"Mrs. Mo, why did you call me at this hour? Are you off work?"

Edith laughed at the other line. "I am working. Mr. Mo, I am calling you regarding Hazel."

The smile on his face quickly disappeared and was replaced with a deep frown. "Hazel? What happened to her?"

"Nothing. But next week, the school will be organizing an activity. All parents are invited to spend their time together with the kids. Mr. Mo, are you coming?"

Neil clicked an icon on the computer and checked his planner. "Next week?" After checking the time and date with Edith, he then nodded. "I'll make time for it." 

The last time he had joined the kindergarten's activity, Neil had seen how the other parents were involved in their kids' activities. If he didn't come, wouldn't his Hazel have to stay alone without anyone supporting her? Even though Edith was around, the feeling wouldn't be the same.

Anyway, it was a rare chance for him to spend his time at his wife's workplace. If he came, he will be able to watch as his wife was at work and accompany Hazel at the same time.

"When will you get off work?" Neil asked. "I'll come and pick you and Hazel from the kindergarten, alright?"

"Are you not busy working?"

"I've chosen a few properties as our future home. Let's go and take a look at which one did you prefer best. Then, we can have dinner outside before we go back to the apartment. What do you think?"

Edith looked up from the paperwork on her desk and pondered over his suggestion.

"Let's bring Hazel with us," Neil continued. "It has been a while since we bring her out and play."

Edith was about to say that she did not mind whichever property that he was going to pick up. However, once she heard that they were going to bring Hazel out, Edith changed her mind and quickly agreed.

…

When both Edith and Hazel walked out of the kindergarten, Neil's vehicle was already waiting for them outside. The moment they came out, Neil helped them both with the door and went back into the driver's seat once the two girls were seating properly.

Hazel looked out of the window and saw that they were passing by familiar scenery. She turned to her uncle and asked, "Uncle, where are we going?"

"We're going to look at a new house to live in. Later, you will have a bigger bedroom and playroom," Neil said. 

He knew that his niece had a hobby of building and collecting Gundam like her friend, Alex. Previously, Edith had told him a little bit about this hobby. He knew that once Hazel's collection grew, they will need a proper place to display them.

His niece was still young, but she managed to build such a complicated model. Although he could not understand much about this hobby, Neil had a sense of pride every time he saw that Hazel had managed to complete a model. His niece is definitely a genius!

"This road…" A light frown appeared on her face as she continued to look at the scenery outside the window. Hazel had thought that the road looked familiar and she was sure that previously, she had passed by this area countless times with her parents.

"Hmm…" Neil's expression changed a little, knowing what his niece was trying to say. "This area is closer to your house." There was a brief silence between them before Neil spoke again. "Would you like to visit your house?"

Hazel did not speak for a while. "Can we?"

Neil nodded. "Of course we can."

Surprisingly, the property that Neil had brought them to was only next door to Adam and Claire's house. 

The relationship between Neil and Adam was very good. Years ago, when the development in the area began, Neil and Adam decided to purchase a property next to each other. They had long planned that after they had their own family, they will continue to look out for each other.

However, the house was a little too big for Neil to live alone. Neil did not want his brother to constantly worry about him and therefore, he decided to stay at his current apartment. The place was closer to the company and Neil find it convenient to move around.

After taking a short tour at Neil's property, the three of them went next door to look at Hazel's old house.

The last time Hazel stepped into the house was after her parents' funeral. After packing up her luggage and following her uncle to his apartment, Hazel had no longer stepped into the house.

As soon as they entered the courtyard, the old housekeeper greeted them and was surprised to see Hazel. She went over to Hazel with her teary face and greeted both Neil and Edith and ushered everyone inside.

The three of them walked around the house and Hazel stopped at her own bedroom. She stood outside the door and stared at her old bedroom with a dazed expression. Her plushy and toys were still where she had left them.

It seemed that nothing had changed from the time she left the house. The housekeeper had tidied up the place, but let everything remain unchanged.

Hazel then entered her father's study and looked around. She went over to the balcony and recalled how she would often hide at the place whenever she made her mother angry. 

Back then, other than her bedroom, Hazel would spend most of her time in her father's study. Her father would sit behind the desk and she would sit at the coffee table with her crayons and paper. 

Walking around the house made Hazel missed her parents a lot. Every she turned around, Hazel would remember her parents and her lips quivered at the memories.

Hazel scrunched her nose as she sniffled. 

Her movement halted the moment she stood in front of her parents' bedroom.

Suddenly, Hazel turned around. She lifted her head and saw that her uncle and auntie have been following her from the beginning.. Stretching up both hands, Hazel then said, "Uncle, I'm tired."
