Trading My Ex for His Uncle



Embarrassment flickered across Wren's face as she muttered, "I didn't... I just didn't know the situation before, okay?"

"If you don't know the situation, then don't meddle," Gabriel rebuked.

After a moment of silence, Wren stole a glance at Gabriel and softly said, "Gabriel, this time it's my fault. I'm sorry. But Wil absolutely cannot be sent back to Jane. Who knows how she'll treat him? She's already proven she's capable of terrible things."

Just thinking about Jane intentionally causing Wilhelm's allergic reaction made Wren's skin crawl. What kind of mother could be so cruel?

"I know what I'm doing. From now on, if Jane contacts you, don't respond," Gabriel instructed.

Wren quickly nodded. "Okay... I understand..."

"If there's nothing else, you can go. I have work to do," Gabriel dismissed.

"Alright... I'll leave now..." Wren answered.

As Wren walked out of the villa, she finally let out a sigh of relief.

Just as she was about to call her driver, her phone rang.

Seeing that it was Jane, she let out a cold laugh before answering.

"Jane, you've got some nerve calling me," she said.

"Mom, what's that supposed to mean?" Jane asked.

"You know perfectly well what it means! You deliberately caused Wil's allergic reaction just to force Gabriel to meet you. A person like you doesn't deserve to be a mother. I won't help you anymore, so stop calling me," Wren scolded before hanging up.

She then blocked Jane's number.

Jane hurled her phone at the ward's wall with a loud crash, startling Wendy.

"Ms. Wilkie, what's wrong?" Wendy asked nervously.

Jane's face was cold and sinister. She didn't answer, and Wendy dared not ask further. She silently pick up the shattered phone and set it on the table, sighing deeply.

After lunch, Gabriel instructed a maid to bring Wilhelm back to Jane.

When Jane saw Wilhelm, she didn't appear particularly happy. Instead, she fixed her gaze on the maid who had brought him over and asked, "Where's Gabriel? Why didn'the bring Wil himself?" Content belongs

"Ms. Wilkie, Mr. Hackett is busy with work, so he asked me to bring Mr. Wilhelm. If there's nothing else, I'll take my leave," the maid answered. "Stop right there!" Jane snapped, her eyes blazing with anger. "What does Gabriel mean by this? Is he done taking responsibility for his son?!"

"Ms. Wilkie, I was only asked to send Mr. Wilhelm. I'm not aware of anything else," the maid replied.

"Get out!" Jane shouted. Her fury made her look terrifying.

Wilhelm was frightened by her appearance and instinctively took a step back. When Jane had hit him before, she had looked exactly the same as she did now.

The maid nodded slightly before promptly leaving.

Once the room quieted, Jane turned to Wilhelm, her voice icy. "Come here."noveldrama

Wilhelm shook his head. "Mommy, I told Daddy I want us to live together as a family, but he wouldn't agree. Mommy, I did what you asked-please don't hit me, okay?"

His voice wavered as tears welled up in his eyes.

Jane's gaze turned cold, but she softened her tone. "Don't worry. Mommy won't hit you. I just want to know-was your dad treating you well?"

Wilhelm hesitated for a moment, then shook his head. "No... Daddy wasn't good to me. I had to cry and beg before he finally agreed to send me back to you."
