Chapter 1009 Wilhelm thought that when Gabriel was home, Jane never hit him without a reason.

But ever since his father left, his mother had become unpredictable. Sometimes, even the sound of him making noise while eating would lead to punishment, forcing him to stand in the corner.

He missed the mother who would kiss him and speak to him gently. He didn't want the mother who hit him for no reason.

"But Daddy's out there with another woman now and won't come home," he said.

Although he was young, he understood a lot of adult issues.

Lately, Gabriel hadn't been around. With Jane's constant hints, Wilhelm had started to believe that Gabriel had left because of a bad woman, choosing her over their family.

"Mommy, when I grow up, I'll protect you. I won't let any bad woman bully you!" Wilhelm vowed.

Tears welled in Jane's eyes at his words, her heart filled with a mix of emotions. Yet, her moment of hesitation lasted only a second before her resolve hardened.

The only way to give Wilhelm a complete family-and for her to get what she wanted-was to make Gabriel come back home.

She smiled at Wilhelm, her voice soft. "Wil, the most important thing right now is finding a way to bring Daddy back. Mommy has a plan, but I need your help. Will you help me?"

"Mommy, I'll do anything if it means Daddy will come home!" Wilhelm promised.
