Mason nodded. "I know. That's the money I earned myself."
"You earned?" Nyla repeated.
The couple stared at Mason in disbelief. How could a five-year-old possibly earn that kind of money?
Damon frowned and crouched beside him. "Buddy, do you know there's 1 trillion dollars in that account? Do you understand how much that is?"
Mason shook his head. "No... but it really is the money I earned."
Damon asked, "Then tell Daddy, how did you earn it?"
Mason hesitated, his expression conflicted. "Daddy... can I not tell you?"
He had promised the person who helped him earn the money that he wouldn't reveal anything about it.
"Buddy, if you don't tell us, we can't be sure if this money is really yours," Damon replied gently but firmly.
Mason thought for a moment before shaking his head again. "I can't say."
Damon was about to push further when Nyla placed a hand on his arm, stopping him.
She turned to Mason, smiling softly. "Okay, if you don't want to tell us, we won't force you. Go back to class now, and Mommy will pick you up after school."
"Okay… Mommy, you're not mad, right?" Mason looked up at her, his eyes wide with concern.
Seeing his anxious little face, Nyla smiled. "No, sweetheart. You're a big boy now. If you don't want to talk about it, that's okay. Mommy and Daddy aren't mad."
She nudged Damon with her elbow as she spoke.
Damon forced a smile and nodded. "Daddy's not mad either. Go back to class, okay?"
Reassured, Mason nodded happily. "Okay! Bye, Mommy! Bye, Daddy!"
As his small figure disappeared into the school building, Damon turned to Nyla. "Why didn't you let me press him further?"
Thinking of the 1 trillion dollars on the card, he felt restless.

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....
