Trading My Ex for His Uncle (Nyla) novel Chapter 1022

Jane's face flushed with anger as she exclaimed, "He's my son too!"

"But I hold custody now," Gabriel said firmly. "Don't waste your time trying. He's staying with me."

Without another word, Gabriel ordered Wilhelm to be picked up from the study.

"Gabriel, you can't just take Wilhelm away like this!" Jane cried.

Gabriel motioned to his guards. "Take her upstairs."

Jane shouted after him, "Even if you take him today, I'll find a way to get him back!"

Gabriel cast her a cold glance. "You're welcome to try. Let's see if you have what it takes to fight me."

The guards escorted Jane upstairs.

When Wendy returned with Wilhelm a few moments later, Gabriel was the only one in the living room.

Wilhelm clung to Wendy, unwilling to move.

Wendy patted his head, her voice gentle. "Mr. Wilhelm, go with your father."

Compared to Jane's volatile behavior, Wendy believed Wilhelm would be better off with Gabriel.

Wilhelm stayed put, unwilling to let go of Wendy.

Gabriel stepped forward and picked up Wilhelm without hesitation. He looked at Wendy and said, "Jane is upstairs. I'm taking Wilhelm now."

"Mr. Hackett," Wendy called out, her voice low. "Please be good to the boy. He's your own son."

Gabriel's gaze hardened slightly. "I know what I need to do."

He carried Wilhelm out, their figures disappearing beyond the door.

Wendy sighed heavily and headed upstairs.

At the entrance to the master bedroom, she heard the sound of objects shattering inside.

…

Gabriel brought Wilhelm back to his home.

Wilhelm ran upstairs as soon as they arrived, slamming his bedroom door shut.

Understanding his son's frustration, Gabriel simply shook his head.

"Send some food up to his room later," he instructed a maid before retreating to his study.

…

News of Jane and Gabriel's divorce spread quickly.

When Nyla heard it from Valarie, she was taken aback. "I thought their marriage was solid. What happened?"

Valarie hesitated for a moment before whispering, "I heard Gabriel insisted on the divorce because of you. But I don't know if it's true."
