Trading My Ex for His Uncle (Nyla and Damon) novel Chapter 805

"Do you think I don't dare to?" Jane snapped.

The mere thought that Gabriel had once liked Nyla twisted Jane's jealousy around her heart like a creeping vine, tightening its grip and making it unbearable.

"I'm not saying you don't dare to do it. I just hope you consider the consequences. There's a meeting at the company, and since Wil is fine, I'll head back now," Gabriel replied.

As he turned to walk away, footsteps rang out behind him. In the next moment, Jane's delicate hands wrapped around his waist.

"I'm sorry, Gabriel. I lost control earlier because of Wil's injury," she said.

Gabriel glanced down at her hands around his waist, a flicker of disgust crossing his eyes.

After a moment of silence, he held her hands and looked down at her, speaking gently. "Jane, I'm not angry."

"Really?" Jane looked up at him, guilt evident in her eyes.

"Of course. I wouldn't be angry with you. You're my wife and the mother of my child. You're the most important person to me," Gabriel coaxed.

A hint of shyness crossed Jane's face as she lightly tapped his chest. "I knew you'd say something sweet to smooth things over."

Gabriel tightened his grip on her hands and leaned down to whisper in her ear, "I only say it to you."

His voice was deep and tender, and Jane felt as if she were walking on air, a giddy sensation washing over her.

"Aren't you supposed to be in a meeting? Hurry up and go. I can handle Wil," she urged.

Gabriel gently pulled her into his embrace, saying, "There's no rush. I'll take you and Wil home first before heading to the meeting."

Jane pushed him away. "No, you just established your position at the company. If you neglect work for personal matters now, it will surely upset Grandpa. I can handle this. Just go."

After he left, Jane took Wilhelm with her. However, instead of going home, she went directly to the Wilkie residence to see Pedro.

…

When Pedro saw Jane, he was still somewhat displeased, especially since she had almost ruined his birthday party and had given away two villas to resolve her foolishness.

His gaze shifted to Wilhelm, whose forehead was wrapped in a bandage. He froze for a moment before his anger flared.

"What happened to Wil's head?!" he demanded.

Wilhelm was Pedro's only great-grandson and was treasured. Pedro was overly sensitive about his well-being, and seeing him injured made it impossible for him to keep his composure.

Wilhelm, clever as ever, knew that Pedro adored him. He let go of Jane's hand and ran up to Pedro to report his grievances.
