Chapter 1107

Mason froze momentarily before glaring at Gabriel. No wonder his mother didn't like this fellow. He didn't like him either.

The two stared each other down in tense silence until Gabriel's phone rang. He glanced at the caller ID, squinting slightly before answering.

"Mr. Hackett, the plane is ready to go. You can take off anytime. When will you be here?" a voice on the other end asked.

Gabriel checked the time. "Around 8:00 p.m."

"Got it," the caller replied before hanging up.

Gabriel lowered the phone and turned his gaze back to Mason, his expression unreadable.

He hesitated, debating whether to send the boy away first. It would be safer. As long as Nyla couldn't see Mason, she'd agree to his terms and leave with him.

"I need to pee!" Mason's loud declaration cut through Gabriel's thoughts, his face darkening instantly.

Gabriel growled, "I already told you if you need to pee, just do it in your pants."

Mason crossed his arms, defiant. "Are you scared I'll run away? A grown man, afraid of a little kid running off. You're such a coward!"

Gabriel scoffed. "Scared of you? Don't flatter yourself—I just don't want the hassle!"
