Semua Bab Your Uncle’s My Husband Now—Back Off, Ex!: Bab 971 - Bab 980

Nyla paused, a flicker of surprise crossing her face before she said, "Because of me? That's impossible."Five years ago, Gabriel had confessed his feelings for her, but that seemed like a lifetime ago.Now, he had a family with Jane and even a child.How could he possibly still have feelings for her? She didn't think herself attractive enough to make him leave Jane."I'm just repeating what I heard. Don't take it seriously," Valarie said. "Who knows what's going on in his head? Maybe he just doesn't like Jane anymore and is using you as an excuse.""Hmm. Alright, I've got to go. I have an experiment to prepare for," Nyla said.After ending the call, Nyla didn't dwell on Valarie's words. Instead, she set her phone aside and focused on preparing the lab equipment for her experiment.…News of Gabriel's divorce had reached Damon, who sat in his office on the top floor. His sharp eyes narrowed, and his entire demeanor turned icy, radiating danger.It seemed Gabriel was preparing

Wilhelm gazed at Gabriel with hopeful eyes, full of anticipation.After a brief moment of eye contact, Gabriel finally nodded. "Alright. Sit here for a while. I'll call her and see if she's willing to come."Wilhelm's face lit up immediately. "Okay, thank you, Daddy!"He firmly believed that Jane would come once she received the call.Gabriel set Wilhelm down and stepped aside to make the call.A few minutes later, he returned with a grim expression. "Wil, your mom is in the hospital right now and can't come.""Oh." Disappointment flickered across Wilhelm's face, but he quickly masked it.His mother didn't want him anymore. If he upset his father, and the latter abandoned him too, then no one would want him.The thought filled Wilhelm with a deep sense of injustice, and his eyes reddened.Gabriel assumed Wilhelm was upset about Jane's absence.Squatting down to his level, he reassured him, "Wil, don't be sad. The next time the kindergarten has a sports day, your mom will defi

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 u

Offending too many people could lead to trouble. If someone ever decided to stab Gabriel in the back, it was unlikely anyone would be willing to help him.Gabriel's eyes darkened as he glanced at Damon, but he quickly spoke up. "Mr. Sumner, your words seem a bit unfair. Wilhelm has always gotten along well with his classmates."Before Buddy transferred, there hadn't been any issues. Everyone can attest to that, and Ms. Ferrier can confirm it as well."It was indeed Wilhelm's fault this time, but kids pushing and shoving during arguments is normal. Accusing him of bullying other children feels like an overreach, don't you think?"Damon smiled. "I'm merely raising a valid concern, not accusing him outright. However, if he can publicly shove Buddy today, who's to say he won't shove another classmate tomorrow?""You're speculating about things that haven't happened. Mr. Sumner, it seems excessive to assume the worst about a child this young," Gabriel countered."Oh, you misunderstand

Upon noticing Nyla's flushed cheeks, Damon's eyes darkened further."Nyla, need some help with your bath?" he asked, his voice low and enticing.Nyla snapped out of her daze, quickly pushing him away. Her wary gaze made him look like some kind of dangerous predator."No need, I'll do it myself," she replied.If she let him help, they might not come out of the bathroom for two hours.Disappointment flickered in Damon's eyes. "You really don't need help?""Mm-hmm. Now go. If you have nothing to do, play with Buddy downstairs. I'm going to shower," Nyla said, grabbing her pajamas.She darted into the bathroom as though something was chasing her, locking the door behind her with a sharp click.Hearing the lock, Damon chuckled softly, shook his head, and left the bedroom.Downstairs, Mason was playing with toys in the living room. He didn't even glance up at the sound of Damon's footsteps, already able to distinguish between Damon and Nyla's steps. Just as Damon reached the sofa,
