Trading My Ex for His Uncle (Nyla and Damon) novel Chapter 1025

Wilhelm gazed at Gabriel with hopeful eyes, full of anticipation.

After a brief moment of eye contact, Gabriel finally nodded. "Alright. Sit here for a while. I'll call her and see if she's willing to come."

Wilhelm's face lit up immediately. "Okay, thank you, Daddy!"

He firmly believed that Jane would come once she received the call.

Gabriel set Wilhelm down and stepped aside to make the call.

A few minutes later, he returned with a grim expression. "Wil, your mom is in the hospital right now and can't come."

"Oh." Disappointment flickered across Wilhelm's face, but he quickly masked it.

His mother didn't want him anymore. If he upset his father, and the latter abandoned him too, then no one would want him.

The thought filled Wilhelm with a deep sense of injustice, and his eyes reddened.

Gabriel assumed Wilhelm was upset about Jane's absence.

Squatting down to his level, he reassured him, "Wil, don't be sad. The next time the kindergarten has a sports day, your mom will definitely come."

"Really? But you two are divorced. Will Mommy still want me?" Wilhelm asked.

Looking into Wilhelm's teary eyes, Gabriel hesitated momentarily before nodding firmly. "Yes, of course. I promise."

If Jane stopped fighting for custody and calmed down emotionally, Gabriel wouldn't stop her from seeing Wilhelm. After all, no matter what, Jane was Wilhelm's biological mother.

Keeping them apart would only deepen Wilhelm's resentment toward him.
