Chapter 1014 Wilhelm froze at Gabriel's stern expression, shrinking behind Wren and peeking at his father with frightened eyes.
Without looking at him, Gabriel called for a maid. "Take him to the Wilkies with the driver later." The maid nodded. "Understood." Just as the maid was about to lead Wilhelm away, Wren pulled the boy behind her and snapped, "Gabriel, can't you see how scared he is?" Gabriel finally lifted his gaze to her, his tone icy. "Weren't you the one who brought him toand insisted I let him see Jane? Now that I've agreed, what more do you want?" Wren stiffened but quickly composed herself. "I only brought him because he was crying so pitifully. That doesn't mean I want him to live with Jane again." She wasn't stupid. It was clear that Wilhelm was better off with Gabriel than with Jane.
If the divorce went through, Jane would eventually remarry, and who knew how much Wilhelm would suffer in her new household? At least with Gabriel, Wren could visit Wilhelm often, and he would have a stable life.

Wren was angry. "I have no choice but to interfere. Just look at Wil-what have you and Jane done to him with your constant fighting? You're his father. Can't you stop being so selfish?" With a sharp crack, Gabriel slammed his file onto the desk, silencing the room.
Wren, who was quite afraid of Gabriel, turned pale and didn't dare speak again.
In the silence, Wilhelm's sobs echoed through the study. "Waaah! Bad Daddy! I don't want you! I want Mommy!" At Gabriel's signal, the maid quickly stepped forward and carried Wilhelm out of the room.
Once the study was quiet again, the oppressive atmosphere made Wren feel suffocated.
She hesitated, then cautiously said "Gabriel, just remembered something I need to take care of וויד cback another day to visit Wil." "Wait." Gabriel's cold voice stopped her in her tracks.
"Do you know why I brought him here?" he asked.
"W-Why?" Wren managed to ask.

Wren's eyes widened in shock. "What?! She did that to her son?!" She recalled Jane's phone call the previous night and felt a chill run down her spine.
Jane had called her because she couldn't get through to Gabriel to m manipulating her into arranging the meeting. The more Wren thought about it, the more alarmed she became.
For Jane to go so far as to harm Wilhelm, her child-who knew what else she was capable of?
"No. Wil can't go back to her. If she can use his allergies to get her way once, who The knows what she'll do next? They can't meet anymore!" Wren exclaimed.
Gabriel's expression remained cold. "I didn't tell Wil about what she did. ↑ didn't want to hurt him." "How can you not tell him? And you still planned to send him back him.
