"For how long?" Nyla asked.
Seeing the worry in her eyes, Damon stroked her head, answering in a slightly hoarse voice, "Don't worry. With you and Buddy here, I won't do anything foolish. I promise."
Nyla bit her lip, her concern evident.
"I promise," Damon said again, his tone firm. "If I left you and Buddy behind, I'd be the most selfish person alive. Trust me, okay?"
Looking into his serious gaze, Nyla hesitated before finally nodding. "Alright. I'll be in the living room. If you get hungry, just let me know."
"Okay. But don't wait up for me. I might sleep in the study tonight. Get some rest," Damon replied.
"Alright," Nyla conceded.
Damon turned and walked toward the study, his steps heavy.
Nyla's worry deepened as she watched his retreating figure. She was genuinely afraid that he might not be able to cope.
For now, all she could do was trust him. Prospectus Technology's abrupt collapse was something he needed time to process and accept.
After Damon disappeared around the corner, Lydia hurried over anxiously. "Ms. Kinsey, is it true? Has Mr. Sumner's company gone bankrupt?"
Nyla looked at Lydia and nodded. "Yes."
"How could that happen?" Lydia asked, disbelief written all over her face.
Such a large company—how could it go bankrupt so suddenly?
Before Nyla could respond, her phone rang. Seeing that it was Mason's kindergarten teacher, she quickly answered.
"Ms. Kinsey, Mr. Hackett just picked up Wilhelm, and he took Mason with him. I couldn't stop him…" the teacher informed.
Nyla's expression changed. "I understand. Thank you."

The readers' comments on the novel: Trading My Ex for His Uncle (Nyla)
More chapters please why stop updating...
When will the new chapters come...
Author! Why does it always so mean? Like a new character will appear and at the end of the chapter, they're all antagonist who always intend to hurt Nyla. Is there any character who will protect her with no expectation in return of any thing?...
AUTHOR!!! NOTICE THIS PLEASE!!!! I hope that Nyla's heart can be softened with Damon alone like clear things up and make some intimate time with each other. And of course Damon talking to Rebecca will make Nyla go back to her status again. Just a short calmness and joy for Nyla and Damon....
