Trading My Ex for His Uncle (Nyla and Damon) novel Chapter 1014

Wilhelm froze at Gabriel's stern expression, shrinking behind Wren and peeking at his father with frightened eyes.

Without looking at him, Gabriel called for a maid. "Take him to the Wilkies with the driver later."

The maid nodded. "Understood."

Just as the maid was about to lead Wilhelm away, Wren pulled the boy behind her and snapped, "Gabriel, can't you see how scared he is?"

Gabriel finally lifted his gaze to her, his tone icy. "Weren't you the one who brought him to me and insisted I let him see Jane? Now that I've agreed, what more do you want?"

Wren stiffened but quickly composed herself. "I only brought him because he was crying so pitifully. That doesn't mean I want him to live with Jane again."

She wasn't stupid. It was clear that Wilhelm was better off with Gabriel than with Jane.

If the divorce went through, Jane would eventually remarry, and who knew how much Wilhelm would suffer in her new household?

At least with Gabriel, Wren could visit Wilhelm often, and he would have a stable life.

"I've already told you, this is my business. Stay out of it," Gabriel warned.

Wren was angry. "I have no choice but to interfere. Just look at Wil—what have you and Jane done to him with your constant fighting? You're his father. Can't you stop being so selfish?"

With a sharp crack, Gabriel slammed his file onto the desk, silencing the room.

Wren, who was quite afraid of Gabriel, turned pale and didn't dare speak again.

In the silence, Wilhelm's sobs echoed through the study. "Waaah! Bad Daddy! I don't want you! I want Mommy!"

At Gabriel's signal, the maid quickly stepped forward and carried Wilhelm out of the room.
