Trading My Ex for His Uncle



Mason glanced at Wilhelm, whose face was streaked with tears and snot, his expression filled with disdain.

Seriously, how old was he to still be crying like a baby?

Gabriel's already cold expression, darkened further as he felt the weight of the crowd's stares turning toward him and Wilhelm.

It was like an icy wind sweeping through the playground. Everyone instinctively tugged their coats tighter.

Having received significant donations from Gabriel, the principal had explicitly instructed Laura to ensure nothing upset him during the sports day.

Seeing the scene unfold, Laura hurried over with a nervous smile and asked, "Wil, what's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"

Emboldened by the attention, Wilhelm only escalated his tantrum. He threw himself to the ground, rolling and crying loudly, repeatedly demanding to see his mom.

Gabriel felt his temples throb. Never in his life had he been so embarrassed.

"Wilhelm, get up!" he ordered, glaring at the boy on the ground.

Wilhelm looked up defiantly. "I won't! If you don't let me see Mommy, I'm not getting up!"

Gabriel forced himself to remain calm and nodded. "Fine. Get up, and I'll take you to see your mom."

"Really?" Wilhelm eyed him suspiciously. After all, Gabriel had refused just moments ago. Why the sudden change?

"Really. But first, get up," Gabriel replied.

"No! Call her now! I want to talk to Mommy first!" Wilhelm demanded.

Gabriel took a deep breath, suppressing the urge to walk away. He pulled out his phone and dialed Jane's number.

Soon, Jane's cold voice came through. "What do you want?"

"Wil says he wants to see you," Gabriel replied curtly.

Jane snickered. "Weren't you the one who swore I'd never see him again?"

Gabriel said nothing and handed the phone to Wilhelm.

Wilhelm quickly snatched it and ran off to a quieter corner.

"Mommy, I miss you! Can I come to the hospital to see you?" he asked.

Hearing Wilhelm's voice tugged at Jane's heart. She was about to agree when she remembered what Wendy had told her-it was best for Wilhelm to stay with Gabriel

She took a deep breath and steadied her tone. Wil, Mommy is very busy right now. I don't have time today. How about I see you another day?"

"No! I want to see you today!" Wilhelm insisted.

"Be a good boy. Mommy really can't today. Give the phone back to your dad, okay?" Jane coaxed.

Wilhelm blinked, fat tears falling from his cheeks. "I knew it! You don't want me anymore! I hate you!"

He threw Gabriel's phone to the ground and bolted toward the school gates.

Alarmed, Gabriel retrieved his phone and chased after Wilhelm.

The gates were locked, and Wilhelm was already climbing them in desperation.

Gabriel grabbed him down in one swift motion. His voice was sharp, his expression cold. "Wilhelm, have you had enough?"

"Let go of me! I hate you! I don't want you or Mommy anymore!" Wilhelm wailed.noveldrama

He thrashed wildly in Gabriel's grip, his face flushed with tears, his eyes

filled with defiance. He reserved a

cornered animal, baring its teeth in vain.

Gabriel sighed, releasing his grip but keeping hold of Wilhelm's jacket to prevent him from running off.

"Wilhelm, your mom and I are divorced. You'll see her less often now. You need to accept that instead of throwing tantrums," he said.
