Trading My Ex for His Uncle (Nyla and Damon) novel Chapter 1040

"We can sign an agreement if you're still worried. I promise never to challenge your custody of Wilhelm in my lifetime," Jane assured.

Seeing her determination, Gabriel remained silent.

Noticing his hesitation, Jane gripped the armrests of her wheelchair tightly. "Gabriel, you're already hesitating, even though you haven't remarried yet. How can I believe you'll treat Wilhelm fairly in the future?"

Gabriel's gaze turned cold. "No matter what, Wilhelm will be better off with me than with you. When and how much of the shares I give him is my decision, not yours."

With that, he turned to leave.

As he reached the doorway, Jane's voice echoed behind him. "If you don't transfer half your shares to Wilhelm, I won't leave the country!"

Gabriel paused, then glanced back at her mockingly. "Whether you leave or stay means nothing to me. And why would you think your refusal to leave is a threat to me?"

"Gabriel, you're a bastard!" Jane shouted.

Gabriel smirked and left without another word.

He found Wilhelm sitting in the garden gazebo.

Standing over him, Gabriel said, "You have two choices. Stay here alone—your mom will leave for another country soon—or come with me."

Tear tracks marred Wilhelm's face, but he remained silent.

His tiny features were set in a stubborn scowl—a miniature version of Gabriel.

Gabriel wasn't about to indulge him further. He turned and walked away.

At the gate, he heard hurried footsteps behind him and turned to see Wilhelm trailing after him, panic and fear written all over his small face.

In a short period, Wilhelm had witnessed Gabriel leaving home, being struck by Jane, the divorce, and his custody being handed over to Gabriel.

Now, Jane was abandoning him when he went to find her.
