Chapter 120
Damon was reviewing documents in his office at Prospectus Technology when his personal phone suddenly rang.
He answered, and Marie’s booming voice came through. “Damon, come home for dinner tonight.” Damon glanced at the pile of unfinished documents and immediately refused. “I’m busy.”
“No matter what, you must make time tonight. Otherwise, I’ll go to your office and drag you home myself,” Marie warned.
Marie’s commanding tone left Damon feeling helpless.
“There’s too much to do today. I really can’t make it,” he said.
“No excuses. You must come back for dinner. Even with your busy schedule, you can always spare time for a meal,” Marie insisted.
Without giving Damon a chance to respond, Marie hung up.
By the time Nyla and Clark had moved Nyla’s things back to the villa, it was already past 4:00 p.m.
After taking a shower and changing clothes, they headed to the Sumner residence.
As Clark pulled up to the entrance, Damon was about to walk in. Hearing the car, Damon turned around, his eyes narrowing slightly upon seeing the license plate. His expression became distant.
Nyla noticed Damon first from inside the car and subconsciously tightened her grip on the seatbelt. Clark also saw Damon, and his gaze darkened. “Let’s get out.”
As soon as Nyla stepped out of the car, Clark walked over and took her hand.
At that moment, Nyla’s skin crawled. If Damon hadn’t been watching, she would have pulled away from Clark’s touch.
Noticing Nyla’s compliance, Clark smiled and led her toward Damon. “Uncle Damon, what a coincidence.”
“Mm.” Damon’s gaze passed over their joined hands before settling on Nyla’s face. “Why aren’t you saying hello?”
Nyla flushed with embarrassment. She had assumed that Damon would ignore her after what had happened in the restaurant. However, she didn’t expect him to make things difficult in front of Clark.
She bit her lip and murmured, “Uncle Damon.”
Damon’s gaze lingered on her red lips for a moment before he turned away coldly.
Noting Damon’s frosty attitude toward Nyla, Clark was slightly surprised but quickly masked it with a smile. “Uncle Damon, Nyla is quite shy. You might scare her like that.”
“If she’s scared, she shouldn’t have been brought along,” Damon retorted.
With that, Damon turned and walked away.

Watching his retreating figure, Nyla felt a wave of indescribable sadness. From the look he gave her, it was clear he genuinely disliked her.
Although this was the outcome she wanted, she felt no joy at all.
As Clark led Nyla into the living room, Damon was already seated on the sofa, talking to Richard and
Marie.
Upon seeing the smiles on Richard and Marie’s faces, Clark’s gaze darkened.

The readers' comments on the novel: Trading My Ex for His Uncle (Nyla)
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....
