“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?”
Wilhelm seemed to understand, nodding slowly. “But… Mason took away some of my friends as soon as he came. I hate him! I don’t want to apologize to him!”
Gabriel sighed. “Have you thought about why those friends wanted to play with him instead of you?”
“No… I don’t know…” Wilhelm mumbled.
“Then start watching to see what he does that makes the other kids like him, and try to do it even better, so those friends want to be around you again,” Gabriel encouraged.
Wilhelm stared, blinking, before murmuring, “Daddy, I’m not sure I understand…”
“It’s okay if you don’t fully understand yet. Just follow my advice. First, apologize to show the other kids you’re willing to change. Only then will they feel comfortable enough to be friends with you again,” Gabriel instructed.
Since Wilhelm always listened to Gabriel, he nodded. “Alright.”
“Good. Now go play inside, and I’ll pick you up after work to visit Mason’s house and apologize properly,” Gabriel said.

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.
