Trading My Ex for His Uncle (Nyla and Damon) novel Chapter 1020

At that moment, Wendy emerged from the kitchen and was met with the sight of Gabriel and Jane locked in a tense standoff, while Wilhelm sobbed uncontrollably nearby.

She hurried over, frowning. "Ms. Wilkie, Mr. Hackett, if you're going to argue, at least don't do it in front of the child."

Jane scoffed. "We're divorced. What do you expect?"

Wendy froze, her eyes wide with disbelief. "Divorced? For real?"

At the mention of the word "divorced," Wilhelm's sobs grew louder, his cries piercing the room.

Frustrated by the noise, Jane snapped, "Stop crying! All you do is cry! Can't you do anything else?"

Wilhelm flinched at her outburst but continued crying even harder.

Gabriel took a deep breath and turned to Wendy. "Take Wilhelm upstairs and pack his things. I'll be taking him with me."

Wendy hesitated. "You're taking Mr. Wilhelm away?"

"Yes. I have custody," Gabriel answered.

Wendy glanced at Jane, who remained silent, her expression cold.

Understanding the situation, Wendy sighed. Gabriel and Jane could divorce whenever they wanted, but Wilhelm had no choice.

"Understood," she replied.

She then picked up the still-sobbing Wilhelm and carried him upstairs to pack his belongings.

The living room fell silent, leaving only Jane and Gabriel.

Gabriel broke the silence. "Jane, from now on, I'll make sure you never have the chance to hurt Wilhelm again."
