Trading My Ex for His Uncle (Nyla) novel Chapter 1174

Seeing the flicker of guilt in Alexander's expression, Nyla said, "If you really feel sorry for Buddy and me, promise me one thing."

"What is it?" Alexander asked.

"If I ever ask for your help after going to Meristate, you have to help me no matter what," Nyla said.

Alexander smiled. "You might find that once you become the Nixons' successor, I'll be the one asking you for help."

"So, is that a no?" Nyla asked.

Seeing her serious expression, Alexander finally nodded. "Fine, I promise."

"Let's hope you won't break your word," she replied.

Alexander offered, "If you don't believe me, I can swear on my life."

Nyla shook her head. "That won't be necessary. I have other things to do, so I'll be leaving now."

…

Nyla headed straight to Prospectus Technology.

Damon was surprised to see her arrive unexpectedly. "Nyla, why are you here at this hour?"

"I missed you, so I came to see you," Nyla answered.

Her gaze was tender, filled with love—and a hint of sorrow so subtle it was almost imperceptible.

Damon, ever perceptive, quickly noticed something was off. He approached her and asked, "Did something happen?"

Nyla shook her head. "Nothing at all. I'm just tired. You go back to work. I'll read here for a while, and we'll pick up Buddy together later tonight."

"No, something's wrong. Nyla, whatever it is, just tell me. Don't keep it bottled up. We're husband and wife. We're supposed to be honest with each other," Damon urged.

"It's really nothing. If there's anything at all, it's that I missed you and wanted to see you. Is that not allowed?" she asked.
