Trading My Ex for His Uncle (Nyla and Damon) novel Chapter 834

"Oh, it's no trouble at all. About Wilhelm, would you mind taking him home for now? I'll speak with the other children about the importance of kindness and discourage them from excluding anyone," Laura said.

"Alright," Gabriel replied.

"If that's all, I'll take Mason back to his class," Laura said.

"Of course. I appreciate you keeping an eye on Wilhelm," Gabriel added.

"It's what I should do," Laura replied.

Gabriel left the office with Wilhelm, and they parted ways with Laura at the stairwell.

…

During the drive home, Wilhelm sat quietly, gazing down with a gloomy pout.

When they finally pulled up to the villa, Wilhelm turned to Gabriel, his eyes red. "Daddy, if I don't apologize, will the other kids really hate me?"

At home, Wilhelm was used to bossing around the service staff and throwing tantrums when things didn't go his way. Despite that, he couldn't ignore the sting of being left out by the other kids at school.

Gabriel looked at him, noticing the hurt in his son's eyes.

Unfastening his seatbelt, he leaned over and gently patted Wilhelm's head.

His voice was soft but firm as he explained, "Wil, you can be as playful or demanding as you like at home—Mommy and I will indulge you. But with other kids, you can't act like that, or they'll end up disliking you."

He went on, "Think about it. If there were a kid who lied and said you hit them or stole their things, wouldn't you feel upset and not want to play with them?"

He dropped Wilhelm off at the villa, leaving him in the care of the housekeeper, and headed back to the office. Thinking about meeting Nyla later, he felt his mood lift.

As he neared the office, Gabriel received a call from Jane.

"Gabriel, I met Mr. Tonra before Theo, but he wouldn't even consider us as a partner—he's clearly favoring Prospectus Technology. After the humiliation Damon put me through yesterday, I'm not letting him get the Golden Waters Resort project!" Her voice was tight with anger.

Gabriel's expression remained calm, though his tone was reassuring. "As long as Starlite Enterprise hasn't signed with Prospectus Technology, we still have a chance.

"Ideally, we can find out Prospectus Technology's bid through Mr. Tonra. If the Wilkie Group offers more, we'll secure the deal."

"That's exactly my plan. I'm heading back to the office now, but I'll try to catch Mr. Tonra at the golf course this weekend," Jane replied.
