Trading My Ex for His Uncle



Raymond and Gabriel stayed in the study for over an hour before emerging.

By then, Raymond's expression had shifted from initial unease to radiant joy, his face brimming with smiles.

It seemed the fortune teller had been right-Wren was indeed his lucky star.

Despite his company's brush with bankruptcy, Gabriel not only promised to inject 70,000,000 dollars into it but also agreed to partner with them on future projects.

The potential profits were enough to make it impossible for Raymond to hide his grin.

Seeing his cheerful demeanor, Wren let out a breath of relief.

Setting Wilhelm down from her lap, she turned to Raymond and asked, "So, you reached an agreement?"

"Yeap. I need to get back to the office, though. I'll have the driver pick you up later," Raymond replied.

"Alright. Will you be home for dinner?" Wren asked.

"Of course! Tonight, we'll celebrate properly," Raymond promised.

After Raymond left, Wilhelm tugged on Wren's sleeve. "Grandma, when are you going to talk to Daddy about letting me see Mommy?"

"I'll go right now," Wren answered.

"I'll go with you," Wilhelm said.

The two headed to the study and knocked on the door.

"Come in," came Gabriel's voice.

Wren pushed the door open and stepped inside. "Gabriel, I heard from Wil that you're not letting him see his mother?"

Gabriel set down the document he had been reading and cast a cold glance at her. "Mom, you can't even manage your own family matters, so maybe stay out of mine."

"I don't intend to meddle in the issues between you and Jane, but Wil is my grandson. He's just a child.

"How could you deny him the chance to see his mother? You left him crying in the living room-what if something happened to him?" Wren explained.

Gabriel set the document aside and told Wilhelm, "Wil, step out for a moment."

Wilhelm shook his head. "No! Daddy, I want to see Mommy! I want to be with her!"

"Are you sure? Have you already forgotten how she used to hit you?" Gabriel reminded him.

At these words, Wilhelm shrank back, fear flashing across his face. Clearly, he remembered the terrifying experience.

After a moment's hesitation, he

nodded. "Mommy didn't mean to hit

me. She told me she was going through a hard time and promised it wouldn't happen again. She even took me out for something delicious yesterday..."

Looking at Wilhelm's innocent face, Gabriel frowned. He didn't want to tell Wilhelm that Jane had taken him out yesterday to deliberately trigger an allergy in order to force a meeting with him.

However, if Wilhelm didn't fully see her true nature, he would keep begging to see her. Over time, he might even come to resent Gabriel, his own father.noveldrama

After a pause, Gabriel asked seriously, "If you had to choose between Daddy and Mommy, who would you pick?"

"Daddy, I don't want to choose. I want both of you. I want us to be a happy family again," Wilhelm replied.

"You have to choose. Either me or your mother," Gabriel insisted.

Tears welled up in Wilhelm's eyes, and he began to sob. "I don't want to choose! I want both of you! I don't want you to get divorced!"

Wren's heart ached as she watched Wilhelm cry.

She scowled at Gabriel. "What kind of father are you? If he misses his mother so much, let him see her. Why force him to make such a cruel choice?" Ignoring her, Gabriel turned to Wilhelm and said, "Since you won't choose, I'll decide for you. I'll send you back to your mother's place."
