Trading My Ex for His Uncle by Hello Spring

"Thanks, but there's no need. In the future, let's try to keep our interactions to a minimum. I don't want to be insulted anymore," Nyla requested coldly. She was about to walk past Gabriel when he stopped her.

"Nyla, I apologize on behalf of my mother for what she said. I've spoken to her, and she promises not to contact you again. Please don't be angry, okay?" Gabriel asked.

"If she truly believes she was wrong, then you wouldn't be the one showing up here tonight," Nyla replied.

Gabriel frowned and asked softly, "If she came to apologize in person, would you forgive her?"

Nyla's displeasure was evident. She didn't understand why Gabriel was so insistent that she forgive Wren.

Wren was just her stepmother-their interactions had been minimal, and there was no need to force a reconciliation.

"I won't forget what she said to me, and I can't forgive her. If there's nothing else, don't come looking for me again," she said.

Without giving Gabriel a chance to respond, Nyla opened the door and went inside.

Gabriel stood at the door for a moment before leaving. When he got home, he encountered Wren returning for clothes.

Seeing the bag in his hand, Wren frowned. "Where did you go just now?"

Gabriel replied calmly, "I went to deliver some food to Nyla."
