All he’s interested in is his son. Which makes you wonder, depending how the finale works out and if he finds out about Belle
What if Regina offers Belle to Rumple in a deal and he says no becase Bae is his main priority? Do you think he would be willing to set back his plans to find his son in order to help Belle? Of course right away I wanna scream “YES!” but all of his actions are for Bae and Bae only, how will Belle fit into them?
I’m dying to see how Belle’s existence messes with his head and his plans. Right now he’s just got the one goal: to get out into the world and find Bae. ALL his emotions and focus are with that goal in mind. He’s probably got his bags packed, ready to leave town the instant he’s able, and then SURPRIIIIISE, your lady love lives. 😮 You’d think he’d at least have to take some time to wrap his head around that and formulate a new plan and decide if Belle can fit into his future and how. We don’t know what kind of state she’ll be in when he discovers her. If everyone ends up remembering, surely her father, and probably many other people, would try to keep them apart. So even if Mr Gold wants to be with her, and/or take her with him on his trip to find Bae, it may not be that simple.

He still has the please clause to use.
I would guess that if the curse breaks, everyone remembers, and Regina’s life becomes a living hell because everyone’s out to get her, she’ll no longer feel the need to comply with his terms and the “please” would lose its power.
