Trading My Ex for His Uncle

Chapter 645



Valarie didn't wait for Nyla to respond and rushed out as if something were chasing her. With Valarie's departure, the living room fell into silence.

Nyla lowered her gaze for a moment, hesitating before finally looking up at Damon.

To her surprise, he was also looking at her. Their eyes met, but neither spoke.

Eventually, it was Nyla who broke the silence.

"Mr. Sumner, I'm really sorry about what happened before. I'll compensate for the losses caused to Prospectus Technology. I have only one request- please don't hide Buddy from me," Nyla pleaded.

"I promise I won't. I also won't use Buddy to threaten you anymore. If you don't want to live here, you can take him and move out. But you can't go back to Capitarnia right now," Damon replied.

If Nyla took Mason back to Capitarnia, he couldn't guarantee that Richard wouldn't try to kidnap Mason again. Keeping them in Saintornia was the only way he could protect them.

Nyla was taken aback, staring at Damon in disbelief.

Did she hear him wrong? Damon actually agreed to her request and even suggested she move out with Mason? How could he suddenly be so agreeable?

"Mr. Sumner... are you serious?" she asked.

Seeing the doubt in Nyla's eyes, Damon replied earnestly, "Yes, it's true. I was wrong before. I didn't protect you and Buddy properly. I won't force you to do anything anymore, but you can't stop me from seeing Buddy."

After talking to Spencer earlier and gaining a clearer understanding of his past with Nyla, Damon realized how outrageous his previous behavior had been. He thought he was justified in believing that Nyla had secretly given birth to his child. Yet, if he hadn't pursued her back then, she wouldn't have fallen into the sea while pregnant and wouldn't have had to give birth alone.

He had no right to blame her or take Mason away from her.

Several seconds passed as Nyla processed what Damon had just said.

"Can I really take Buddy and leave?" she asked again.

Damon confirmed, "Yes, but for now, you still can't leave Saintornia."

Nyla worried he might change his mind the next day, so she said, "Then, I'll pack my things now and move out tonight."

Damon's gaze darkened slightly

while watching her anxious

demeanor. It was clear that his

earlier concerns had been unfounded-she felt no attachment to him now. to

Given the chance to leave, she would do so without hesitation.

"No need to rush," he replied. "I have a business trip tonight and won't be back for a week. Plus, you haven't found a new place yet."

Nyla hesitated. She wanted to refuse but feared provoking Damon into changing his mind. "Okay, then I'll leave tomorrow."

Damon gave her a pointed look before turning to go back to his study, only emerging when it was time for dinner.

Dinner was rather quiet.

Damon was already a man of few words, and Nyla was preoccupied with thoughts about where she and Mason would live after leaving the villa. to

Strangely enough, she felt a twinge of reluctance to leave, despite having disliked this place before.

"Mommy, you're going to eat your food through your nose," Mason complained.

Mason's voice brought Nyla back to

reality. She blinked and noticed that

both Damon and Mason were looking at her, their puzzled expressions remarkably similar. to

Nyla averted her gaze, feeling a bit embarrassed as she laughed awkwardly. "Sorry, Buddy. I was just lost in thought....."

After dinner, as Nyla planned to take Mason for a walk, Damon suddenly asked her to come to the study.Content held by NôvelDrama.Org.
