Trading My Ex for His Uncle (Nyla) novel Chapter 1038

If Wilhelm stopped wanting to see Jane, the bond between them would naturally fade over time.

"No! I don't want food!" Wilhelm cried, hurling Gabriel's phone onto the car seat.

He began pounding on the car door, trying to open it. "I want to see Mommy! I want to live with her, not you!"

Gabriel, his patience wearing thin, locked the doors with a sharp click and turned to Wilhelm, his expression darkening.

"Your mother doesn't want you. Even if you find her, she won't take you. I'm the only one you have now," he said.

"I hate you! I don't want to be with you! I don't want you as my dad!" Wilhelm screamed.

Gabriel's restraint, already fraying after days of tantrums, finally snapped. He stared at his son and said coldly, "It doesn't matter whether you want me or not. No one wants you now except me."

Jane didn't want Wilhelm. The Wilkies wouldn't want him either.

"That's not true!" Wilhelm sobbed uncontrollably. "Mommy wants me. Mommy's just mad. If I'm good, she'll take me back! She has to..."

Gabriel let out a mirthless laugh. "Fine. Let's see if that's true. I'll take you to her now."

He called his assistant to confirm Jane's current location and started the car without another word.

Wilhelm wiped his tears and stopped crying.

He asked cautiously, "Are you really taking me to Mommy?"

Gabriel drove in silence, offering no reply.

…

An hour later, they arrived at Jane's villa.

As soon as Gabriel unlocked the car doors, Wilhelm flung one open and bolted toward the house.

Watching the boy's eager figure, Gabriel followed at a measured pace, his face betraying no emotion.
