Just a moment ago, Wren had been thrilled about the upcoming reunion with her son. Now, she felt as if she had been struck by a hammer.
“I was actually planning to return last year,” Gabriel explained. ” I just hadn’t found a suitable job until last month when I began talks with a company in Saintornia. I’m signing the contract. tomorrow.”
“Why didn’t you tell me sooner?” Wren asked.
If she had known earlier, she wouldn’t have agreed to take Harrison abroad for treatment. Being unfamiliar with life abroad, both she and Harrison would face many inconveniences compared to staying in the country.
“I wanted to finalize everything before telling you,” Gabriel said.
Wren frowned, still feeling some frustration. She had already promised Nyla, and backing out now seemed unreasonable. Plus, staying in Saintornia might expose them to potential
retaliation from the Sumners.
After weighing her options, going abroad still seemed best.
“Gabriel, there’s something I need to tell you,” Wren said.
She explained Nyla’s conflicts with the Sumners, concluding with a serious tone, “Since you haven’t signed the contract yet, I suggest you don’t come back to avoid being dragged into this mess. Nyla isn’t listening to anyone right now, so who knows what she might do next?”

Unbeknownst to her, her words only reinforced Gabriel’s determination to return.
“Mom, I think Nyla is doing the right thing. And I’m not afraid of what the Sumners might do to me,” he said.
“Are you out of your mind?! You’re my only son. If something happens to you, how will I live? I forbid you from coming back. If you do, I’ll send you back personally!” Wren huffed.
With that, she hung up.
Across the ocean, Gabriel–sharp features framed by gold- rimmed glasses–set down his phone, removed his glasses,
and rubbed his brow.
His expression was indifferent. Regardless of Wren’s opinion, he was determined to return to his home country.
In the evening, as Nyla got into the car, her phone rang.
Gabriel had rarely contacted her since moving abroad, except when absolutely necessary. Today, his call made her wonder if he had heard about Harrison’s treatment abroad.

The readers' comments on the novel: Trading My Ex for His Uncle (Nyla)
When will the new chapters come...
Author! Why does it always so mean? Like a new character will appear and at the end of the chapter, they're all antagonist who always intend to hurt Nyla. Is there any character who will protect her with no expectation in return of any thing?...
AUTHOR!!! NOTICE THIS PLEASE!!!! I hope that Nyla's heart can be softened with Damon alone like clear things up and make some intimate time with each other. And of course Damon talking to Rebecca will make Nyla go back to her status again. Just a short calmness and joy for Nyla and Damon....
