Trading My Ex for His Uncle (Nyla) novel Chapter 1190

Damon and Nyla didn't speak. They simply lay there, holding each other, feeling time slowly slip away.

Eventually, they both drifted off to sleep.

The next morning, Nyla and Damon were still asleep when there was a knock at the door.

"Daddy! Mommy! Are you awake?" Mason called.

Nyla stirred but still felt groggy, her eyes refusing to open. "Damon, can you get the door for Buddy?"

"Alright." Damon sat up, yawning as he walked to the door.

When he opened it, he looked down to see Mason fully dressed—hat, mask, everything—looking completely ready to go.

Seeing that Damon was still in his pajamas, Mason frowned. "Daddy, it's already past eight, and you guys are still sleeping?"

Damon leaned against the doorframe, looking a little helpless. "Mommy and I went to bed late last night. Can you let us sleep for just 30 more minutes?"

Mason thought about it seriously before nodding. "Alright. I'll wait for you in the living room."

"Good." Damon closed the door and climbed back into bed, pulling Nyla into his arms. "Let's sleep a little longer."

While he had been talking to Mason, Nyla had woken up completely. She pushed his hand away. "I'm already up—I won't be able to fall back asleep. I'm going to wash up. I'll wake you when I'm done."

Damon opened his eyes and looked at her. "If you're up, then I might as well get up too."

"You should rest a little longer. You haven't been sleeping well these past few days," Nyla advised.

"A few more minutes won't make a difference," Damon replied.

He sat up and followed her into the bathroom.

Nyla squeezed toothpaste onto their toothbrushes, while Damon filled their cups with water.

About ten minutes later, they were both dressed and walked into the living room.
