Alex looked at the man in front of him and could guess that the reason for his appearance at this time was related to Hazel. Hazel had said that her uncle had seen her when she snuck out with him early in the morning and Alex was preparing himself to face the consequences.

However, a few minutes passed between them but the person in front of him had not said a word. With each passing second, Alex found that he was growing agitated. He knew very well that the man in front of him was trying to test his patience.

"Don't worry. I only have a few things I have to say to you. It would not take too long," Neil said. He took a sip from the coffee and continued. "You should know why I came here to find you." He did not wait for Alex to reply and continued, "I already know that Hazel and you are in a relationship."

Alex was aware that Neil would know about them. After all, he had accidentally seen the man's message on Hazel's phone.

"Since Hazel had agreed to be with you, then I would not say anything or try to stop you."

Although Neil was not too happy that Hazel had agreed to date Alex, Neil decided that he should not do anything to stop him. His wife was right. Hazel is a grown-up and knew what she was doing. Moreover, Alex was someone that they have watched for years. Rather than seeing Hazel dating someone they were not familiar with, it would be better if Hazel dated someone they know.

Meanwhile, Alex was surprised that Hazel's uncle would give his permission to date Hazel without making things difficult for him. He could not help but think that there was a trick behind this.

The corner of his lips turned into a smile. Neil was aware of what was going through Alex's mind at this time. "What? You think I would make things difficult for you?" His brow shot up. "Am I such a person?"

Of course, Alex could not say what was truly on his mind. 

However, a few years ago, when he had the intention to pursue Hazel, was it not this man who had come over and stop him from going through with his plan? If that was not considered as making things difficult, then what is?

"I have told you that once you grew up, I will not stop you from pursuing Hazel," Neil said. "However, that does not mean that I will stop from keeping my eyes on you." There was a brief pause between them before Neil spoke again. "The most important thing for me is Hazel's happiness. Alex He, if you dare to hurt Hazel, you will have to face me."

"Uncle Mo, you don't have to worry. In this life, I will not do anything to hurt Hazel."

Neil merely chuckled at the boy's response. The two of them had a long way to go. Although he was aware that Alex liked his niece, he could not be too sure about what will happen in the future.

"It's good that you think of it like that." Neil paused as a thought came to his mind. "However, I still did not appreciate you and Hazel sneaking out in the middle of the night. Hazel is a girl and the city at night can be dangerous."

Alex nodded obediently. "I understand."

As he got nothing else to say to Alex, Neil stood up to leave. However, just as he was approaching the door, a thought came to his mind and Neil turned around. 

"I heard that you have helped Hazel when someone tried to create a problem for her in B City."

"Yes. Hazel said told me that she ran into some trouble and asked if I can help her to find the person who was responsible for it," Alex said. He was unaware of how Hazel's uncle would know about that matter. After all, his role in helping Hazel was very minor.

"You don't have to be surprised." Neil chuckled. "President Zhang is a good friend of mine. Since her daughter was somehow implicated in that matter, of course, I will know about it."

Neil had heard bits of the accusation on Hazel. He was upset when he heard that there were some classmates who had mocked Hazel for being an orphan.

Hazel was five years old back then, but Neil could still remember how his wife had told her how Hazel had cried because one of her classmates had said that she was unwanted. He would never want Hazel to be sad because of her status again. However, he did not expect that once his little girl had lived far from him, she would be facing some grievance.

Although Hazel did not mind their mean words, it does not mean that he would feel the same. Neil was very angry when he heard the news. He was the one who had asked his friend, President Zhang to help him and arrange for the best lawyer to sue that girl for defamation.

Neil nodded. "Thank you for helping Hazel."

In the beginning, Neil did not like it when he heard that Alex had moved to B City to start a company. He knew very well that Alex had a hidden agenda for moving over to the city. However, at this time, Neil was relieved that Hazel would have someone to look after her when she ran into trouble.

Once he had finished what he wanted to say, Neil swung open the door to leave.

His movement halted when he saw Hazel stood in front of the door.  His niece had her hand raised up as she was about to knock on the door.

The moment their gazes met, the two of them were unable to hide their surprise.

"Why are you here?" Neil asked.

Hazel was flustered upon seeing her uncle in front of her and she was not expecting to see him here. Moreover, she was aware that her uncle had seen her sneaking out last night and she was still worried that her uncle would be upset. Seeing that he had shown up in Alex's office, Hazel was worried that her uncle came to make things difficult for Alex. 

"It's lunch hour. I came to accompany Alex for lunch," Hazel answered.

Didn't they just meet a few hours ago?

His eyes narrowed as Neil could sense the girl's distress. It seemed that she was really worried about her boyfriend.

"Uncle, why are you here?" Hazel asked.

"I came to discuss something with Alex."

Hazel tilted her head to one side. "About what?"

"Just some matters about cabbage."

"Ah?"

Neil laughed at her reaction. "Go on in. I still have to head to my office."

Hazel snapped out of her thoughts. "Oh. Okay."

Neil paused for a while and asked, "You're going to return to B City this weekend, right?" He watched her nodded and continued, "Come over and see me before you head back.. I have something to talk to you."
