Your Uncle’s My Husband Now Back Off, Ex! novel Chapter 490

Oliver noticed the way Nyla’s ears reddened, sensing her shyness but choosing not to comment on it. He nodded. Alright. I have a full day of meetings tomorrow. Let’s plan for dinner the day after.

That depends on whether I have to stay late for experiments,Nyla replied.

Okay, I know you’re busy. I’ll check in with you again the day after,Oliver said easily.

As Nyla walked him to the door, Oliver hesitated before asking, You don’t have to see me out, butcan I give you a hug?

Before he even finished, she stepped forward and wrapped her arms around him.

Oliver froze, his eyes wide in disbelief. He had prepared himself for rejection, so her response caught him completely off guard.

After a moment of shock, joy surged through him. He gently returned the embrace, treating her like something fragile and precious.

Nyla, I’m really happy you’re willing to respond to me,he said, his voice unsteady.

Feeling the depth of his emotions, Nyla loosened her hold and replied sincerely, Oliver, I’m willing to try to get closer to you, so you don’t need to be so careful or worry about upsetting me.

Got it,he said softly.

Alright, you should head back now,she urged.

Reluctantly, Oliver headed downstairs to his car, already toying with the idea of buying the unit across from Nyla’s. That way, he could see her and Mason every day.

After watching his car drive away, Nyla felt her heart racing. The sensation of hugging Oliver lingered, her thoughts spinning with the unfamiliar excitement.

In the CEO office of the Prospectus Technology branch, Damon worked late into the night.

The company had expanded rapidly in recent years, but many underlying issues still required attention. Now that the internal situation had stabilized, he could finally focus on addressing them one by one.

Suddenly, his phone buzzed on the desk, pulling him out of his thoughts. He glanced at the screen, recognized the caller, and set his pen down before answering.

Damon, guess what my people

saw today?the party on the other end of the line asked.

Get to the point. I’m busy,Damon replied, his tone indifferent, betraying no emotion.

Tsk, I knew you’d say that. Anyway, I won’t keep you in suspense. This evening, Spencer met with Oliver Raynor, the CEO of the Raynor Group,the other party reported.

Damon frowned. Are you sure?

1/2

Prospectus Technology had no significant dealings with the Raynor Group, so why would Spencer meet with its CEO?

When Prospectus Technology first entered the Capitarnia market, Damon had considered collaborating with the Raynor Group. However, the Raynor Group had not only refused but also poached several of Prospectus Technology’s projects.
