Your Uncle’s My Husband Now Back Off Ex (Nyla and Clark) novel Chapter 718

After all, just seeing Damon in the hospital didn’t prove he’d deceived Nyla. Maybe he had to go there for some

reason.

If this photo led to a misunderstanding between them, it would be a huge mistake on Ruby’s part..

After thinking for a moment, Ruby decided not to tell Nyla for now. Instead, she would test the waters when they were back at work the next day. If Nyla truly didn’t know anything, then she would inform her.

By the time Damon returned to the villa, it was nearly 9:00 p.m.

Nyla was chatting with Lydia.

When Lydia saw him, she quickly stood up. “Mr. Sumner, did you have a drink at your social event tonight? Ms. Kinsey made you some hangover soup. It’s in the kitchen–I’ll go get it for you.”

Damon paused, tugging at his tie with a slightly somber expression. “No need. I didn’t drink tonight.”

“Eh?” Lydia was taken aback, looking puzzled.

Wasn’t it customary for Damon to drink at social events?

She quickly recovered and said, “Okay, would you like something to eat? The kitchen saved you some dishes.”

Lydia thought about what a shame it was regarding the hangover soup Nyla had made for him.

“No, Lydia, you can go rest,” Damon said dismissively.

Seeing that he wanted to be alone with Nyla, Lydia chuckled. “Alright, I won’t interrupt you. If you need anything, just call me.”

After Lydia left, Damon strode over and sat down next to Nyla. He asked, “You’re still up this late, waiting for me?

The soft lighting highlighted Damon’s handsome face, making one’s heart flutter. At night, he seemed warmer than his usual daytime demeanor, and his gaze toward Nyla was incredibly gentle.

Nyla nodded. “Yeah, I thought you might get drunk.”

“I’ll try to drink less at future social events,” Damon replied.

Just as Nyla was about to respond, she suddenly caught a faint scent of hospital disinfectant on him.

Clenching her fingers, she looked up and asked, “Where did you go for your social event tonight?”

Damon casually mentioned a name, raising an eyebrow. “Why? Are you starting to check up on me?”

“Do you not want me to?” Nyla retorted.

“I don’t mind, of course. Want to check my phone too?” Damon offered.

As he spoke, he held out his phone to Nyla, looking all innocent as if to say, “You can check whatever you want.”

Nyla didn’t take it. “Let’s skip the phone check. Your phone’s filled with company secrets. If something goes wrong at the company and you suspect me, I won’t have a chance to explain myself.”

“The company and I are both yours. And no matter what happens, I won’t suspect you,” Damon professed.

Nyla shot him a sidelong glance and teased, “Did you eat candy tonight? Why are you talking so sweetly?”

“Why don’t you try and find out?” Damon challenged.

With that, he grabbed Nyla’s chin and leaned down to kiss her.

The atmosphere in the living room became charged with a flirtatious tension.

A gust of night wind billowed through the sheer curtains by the window, casting their movements in a hazy light…

As the kiss ended, Nyla was left breathless, resting against Damon’s chest.

He looked down at her gently, his gaze darkening slightly as he saw her sparkling eyes and flushed cheeks. He caressed her waist.

Nyla felt a tingle in her lower back, her body melting even more into him.

“Damon, this is the living room! Watch yourself!” she chided without heat.

She looked up, glaring at him, her expression a mix of embarrassment and irritation.

Damon raised an eyebrow. “Should I carry you back to the room?”

Seeing him feign the intention to lift her, Nyla quickly pushed him away and jumped off the sofa. “Stop messing around! If someone sees us, it’d be embarrassing…”

Her face was flushed, like a blooming peach blossom–beautiful enough to make anyone’s heart race.

Damon’s gaze darkened involuntarily. Originally, he had just wanted to tease her, but he’d overestimated his self-

control.

He looked at her, feigning disappointment. “Are you sure you don’t want me to carry you upstairs?”

“No! I can go by myself. Since you didn’t drink, I’m going to sleep,” Nyla said quickly.

With that, she turned and hurried upstairs, her figure disappearing down the corridor faster than a rabbit.

Damon’s smile deepened while watching her leave.

Back in her room, Nyla finally calmed down, only to remember that she’d forgotten to ask him why he smelled of

disinfectant. She couldn’t help but frown. Beauty could really distract from important matters.

…

When Nyla went downstairs the next morning, she was surprised to find the dining room empty.

Usually, Damon would be sitting at the table, drinking coffee while handling work at this hour. Where was he today? Was he still in bed?

Lydia noticed her puzzled expression and explained, “Ms. Kinsey, Mr. Summer has a lot of work today, so he left early. After you finish breakfast, the driver will take you to the company.”

What kind of work needed to be handled so early?

A trace of suspicion flickered in Nyla’s eyes, but she suppressed her doubts and nodded. “Okay.”
