Trading My Ex for His Uncle (Nyla and Damon) novel Chapter 822

Gabriel gave her a helpless look. "Because my friend wasn't dating the Starlite Enterprise general manager's secretary before now."

Jane froze for a moment before understanding. She set the document on the desk, walked around to face Gabriel, and wrapped her arms around his neck. She leaned up and kissed him.

Gabriel held her at the waist and returned the kiss, the sound of their passion filling the study.

When they broke apart, Jane rested her head against Gabriel's chest and spoke softly. "That's your reward."

Gabriel's gaze darkened as he twirled a strand of her hair around his finger with a smile. "Thank you, honey."

He was handsome, and the smile on his face now made Jane recall their first meeting.

Back then…

It was a rainy day, and Pedro was in the hospital. She rushed there and accidentally bumped into Gabriel as she entered, her umbrella splashing rainwater onto his clothes.

Her mood had been low due to Pedro's illness, but she was caught off guard by the gentleness in Gabriel's eyes when she looked up.

He was tall and striking, the top two buttons of his white shirt undone beneath his gray-blue suit. It revealed his throat in a way that was almost distractingly attractive.

Jane's heart skipped a beat.

Later, despite Pedro's disapproval, she insisted on marrying Gabriel. Thankfully, it was the right choice.

After they married, Pedro handed Gabriel the Wilkie Group's failing gaming company, which had been slated to close by the end of the year.

Gabriel's tireless work turned it around, and it became one of the Wilkie Group's top-performing subsidiaries. No one in the Wilkie family doubted her decision anymore, nor did they dare mock her.
