Trading My Ex for His Uncle

Gabriel lowered his gaze, a flash of ruthlessness crossing his eyes.

Once Jane took Wilhelm away, he would have no further concerns. He wouldn't let Damon off the hook for ruining him.

After leaving the police station, Jane immediately had her assistant handle Wilhelm's international travel paperwork and booked tickets for the next morning.

When she arrived home, Wendy had already brought Wilhelm back.

As soon as Wilhelm saw Jane, he rushed into her arms. "Mommy!"

Jane patted his head and said, "Wil, how about we have a meal with your grandparents later?"

Wilhelm looked up at her cautiously. "Mommy, now that you've brought me here, are you going to send me back to Daddy's place later? I don't want to go back there..."

"Don't worry. I won't. From now on, you'll stay with me," Jane reassured him.

Wilhelm's face brightened at first, then his expression dimmed slightly. "But what about Daddy? Won't he come with us?"

Jane's smile faded as she looked at Wilhelm. "I've already separated from your father. Now, you have to choose between me and him. Who do you want to stay with?"

If Wilhelm chose Gabriel, she wouldn't take him with her.

Upon seeing Jane's serious expression, Wilhelm's face paled.

During the divorce, he had learned to read the situation. He knew that if he said he wanted to stay with Gabriel or hoped for the family to reunite, it would upset Jane.

He clenched his small fists and carefully answered, "Mommy, I want to stay with you. Is that okay?"

Hearing that, Jane smiled and reached out to pat his head. "Of course! Let's have Wendy take you upstairs to shower, and then I'll take you to your grandparents, okay?"

"Okay," Wilhelm replied.

After Wendy led Wilhelm upstairs, Jane picked up her phone and dialed her mother.

"Mom, I'm bringing Wil over for lunch later, and I need to talk to you about something," she said.

Around noon, Jane arrived at her parents' house with Wilhelm.

When Ruth saw him, her brow furrowed. "Didn't the court already rule that he stays with Gabriel? Why did you bring him back?"

As a mother, she didn't want Jane raising Wilhelm alone. The child would only hold her back.noveldrama

Wilhelm noticed his grandmother's unusual attitude and instinctively shrank behind Jane's wheelchair, looking up at her warily.

Jane turned and gently patted his head. "Why don't you go play in the garden for

a while? Mommy needs to talk to Grandma."

Wilhelm diğn't move, his eyes filled with fear. He was afraid his mother would send him back to the cold house, and he hadn't seen his dad in days...

Noticing his fear, Jane softened her tone.

Go ahon't worry. I won't leave y

Go ahead, and after you play for a while, I'll call you for lunch.

"Okay." Reluctantly, Wilhelm left.

Once he was out of sight, Jane turned to Ruth. "Mom, Wilhelm son. Now that Gabriel might b facing prison time, if I don't take care of him, who will?"

"But have you considered this at your age, if you take a child with you, what kind

of man with good prospects will want you?" Ruth asked.

Moreover, Jane would soon be going abroad. Raising a child alone there would only make things harder.
