The Extraordinary Bride Of The Wyndham Family (Isla and Gabriel) novel Chapter 219

“I will need you to calm down, sir. Please trust me. We will handle this matter.”

Stone’s voice was steady, but there was urgency beneath it. He stood close to Gabriel’s desk, watching him pace the large office tike a restless man that had been provoked.

Gabriel could not sit.

He moved from one end of the office to the other, his long strides were too impatient. His fists clenched, then relaxed, then clenched again. His jaw was tight, his teeth grinding slightly as if he were holding back something dangerous.

The message refused to leave his mind.

Enjoy your win while it lasts. But get ready to lose your newborn. .

Every time the words replayed in his head, his chest tightened painfully. His breath grew heavier. His thoughts flew immediately to Isla. To the triplets. And to the fragile peace they had just found.

Stone watched him closely.

“Sir,” Stone said again, lowering his voice, “this is exactly what they want. They want you distracted. They want you to be angry and afraid.”

Gabriel stopped walking abruptly and turned to face him.”Someone just threatened my children,” Gabriel snapped.”

You want me to stay calm?”

Stone did not flinch. “I want you alive. And I want your family safe. Losing control will not help. Trust me, whoever this person is, they only want you distracted And that is exactly what you’re doing right now.”

Stone continued. “There is no threat in your estate, I can. assure you. No one can get close to your family. So, just calm down and let me look into this.”

Before Gabriel could respond, a soft knock sounded on the door.

Gabriel inhaled slowly and straightened. “Come in.”

Jude stepped inside carefully. “Sir… they’re here.”

Gabriel nodded once. “Alright. Let them in.”

He returned to his chair and sat, though his body remained tense, his fingers gripping the armrest tightly.

Stone stepped closer and lowered his voice even more. “I’ll step out now. For the moment, ignore the message.

Whoever sent it wants your attention.”

Gabriel lifted his eyes and locked them on Stone’s face.

His gaze was cold and dangerous.

“One week,” Gabriel said slowly and clearly. “I’m giving you one week to find that insect and crush him.”Stone nodded sharply. “Understood.”

He turned and left the office.

Almost immediately, the door opened again.

Sarah walked in, holding Desmond’s small hand.

“Uncle Gabriel!” Desmond’s cheerful voice filled the room.

Everything in Gabriel shifted in an instant.

The anger in his eyes softened. The tension in his shoulders loosened. A smile spread across his face as he stood up quickly.

‘There goes my little man,” Gabriel said warmly as he lifted Desmond into his arms.

He spun the boy gently, making him laugh loudly.

Desmond’s laughter echoed in the office, bright and innocent, like it had the power to chase away darkness.

Sarah stood a few steps inside the room, watching them.

A gentle smile rested on her lips. She held her handbag with both hands in front of her. She looked calm, elegant, and composed, though her eyes carried curiosity.

When Gabriel finally placed Desmond back on the floor, he turned to Sarah.

“Congratulations,” she said warmly. “You should have let me see them first. Do you know how I felt when I heard the news?”Gabriel chuckled softly. “Things happened very fast.”

‘He pressed a button on his desk. “Jude, please come and take Desmond around.”

The intercom clicked off.

Moments later, Jude returned. “Come on, Desmond. I’ll show you something ceol.”
