Trading My Ex for His Uncle



"No! I hate you! I don't want to live with you!" Wilhelm yelled.noveldrama

"Whether you like it or not, the court decided you're staying with me," Gabriel stated flatly.

As they argued, Nyla and Damon approached, holding Mason's hand.

Wilhelm's eyes flickered with jealousy and resentment when he spotted Mason.

Summoning unexpected strength, he broke free from Gabriel and lunged at him.

Why did Mason get to have loving parents while his were abandoning him?!

The attack was so sudden that no one could react in time.

Mason was shoved to the ground, wide-eyed with shock.

Wilhelm was about to strike him when Damon pushed him aside and pulled Mason up.

"Buddy, are you okay?" Damon asked, his voice full of concern.

Mason nodded. "I'm okay, Daddy."

Luckily, his thick winter coat had cushioned the fall.

Wilhelm, sprawled on the ground after being shoved, stared blankly at the scene. He watched as Damon and Nyla fussed over Mason, checking him for injuries.

When he had fallen, his mother had never cared if he was hurting. She had yelled at him for being clumsy, and his father hadn't bothered-merely watching coolly from the side.

Jealousy burned hotter in Wilhelm's chest. Why did Mason get such caring parents while he didn't?

Suddenly, he was yanked off the ground by his collar. He looked up to see Gabriel's thunderous face.

"Wilhelm, do you even know what you just did?!" Gabriel demanded.

Wilhelm froze under his father's icy glare.

Tears welled up again, but Gabriel didn't care.

He dragged the boy over to Damon and Nyla to apologize. "Mr. Summer, Nyla, I'm terribly sorry. This is entirely my fault for not teaching Wilhelm better. Is Buddy hurt?"

Swn

Damon's voice was sharp. "Your son deliberately pushed mine to the ground and tried to hit him. Do you think a few words of apology are enough?"

Wilhelm had gotten physical with Mason before, and now he had charged at him again, for no reason. If Damon hadn't been there, Mason might have actually been hurt.

Gabriel knew he was in the wrong.

"I understand, Mr. Sumner. If Buddy doesn't feel well, I'll cover all medical expenses. If there are any issues, I'll take full responsibility," he replied humbly.

"As for Wilhelm, I'll make sure to educate him properly to ensure this doesn't happen again," he added.

Damon snorted. "If I remember

before. For him to get physical right in front of Nyla and me, as well as all these other parents-who knows if he's been bullying other kids behind our backs?"

The crowd murmured, parents exchanging uneasy glances.

Some began questioning their children about whether Wilhelm had bullied them before.

This wasn't just a personal dispute anymore.

At a prestigious kindergarten like
