"Do you think I don't dare to?" Jane snapped.
The mere thought that Gabriel had once liked Nyla twisted Jane's jealousy around her heart like a creeping vine, tightening its grip and making it unbearable.
"I'm not saying you don't dare to do it. I just hope you consider the consequences. There's a meeting at the company, and since Wil is fine, I'll head back now," Gabriel replied.
As he turned to walk away, footsteps rang out behind him. In the next moment, Jane's delicate hands wrapped around his waist.
"I'm sorry, Gabriel. I lost control earlier because of Wil's injury," she said.
Gabriel glanced down at her hands around his waist, a flicker of disgust crossing his eyes.
After a moment of silence, he held her hands and looked down at her, speaking gently. "Jane, I'm not angry."
"Really?" Jane looked up at him, guilt evident in her eyes.
"Of course. I wouldn't be angry with you. You're my wife and the mother of my child. You're the most important person to me," Gabriel coaxed.
A hint of shyness crossed Jane's face as she lightly tapped his chest. "I knew you'd say something sweet to smooth things over."
Gabriel tightened his grip on her hands and leaned down to whisper in her ear, "I only say it to you."
His voice was deep and tender, and Jane felt as if she were walking on air, a giddy sensation washing over her.
"Aren't you supposed to be in a meeting? Hurry up and go. I can handle Wil," she urged.
Gabriel gently pulled her into his embrace, saying, "There's no rush. I'll take you and Wil home first before heading to the meeting."
Jane pushed him away. "No, you just established your position at the company. If you neglect work for personal matters now, it will surely upset Grandpa. I can handle this. Just go."

The readers' comments on the novel: Trading My Ex for His Uncle (Nyla)
More chapters please why stop updating...
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....
