Trading My Ex for His Uncle (Nyla) novel Chapter 122

Chapter 122 

Erin’s smile stiffened slightly, but before she could say anything, Marie slammed her cutlery onto the table and chided, “Damon, is that how you. serve food?!” 

She had wanted him to help Erin with the dishes to help them bond, but he nearly went so far as to place the whole plate in front of her. If word got out, it would surely offend the Hulles. 

Damon smiled at Marie. “Mom, if you know I’m bad at this, don’t make me do it.” 

Marie was fuming and about to explode, but Erin quickly intervened.” It’s fine. I actually like fish, and it’s more convenient this way. No need to keep troubling him to serve me.” 

Seeing Erin’s willingness to smooth things over, Marie beamed with satisfaction, growing even fonder of her. 

“Erin, you’re so considerate. This brat only knows how to make me angry. After dinner, take her home,” she told Damon. 

Damon frowned, about to refuse, but Erin spoke first. “There’s no need. I drove myself here.” 

She could sense Damon’s lack of interest in her, and forcing him to drive her home wouldn’t help. It would be better to retreat and advance later. 

With Builders Property and Prospectus Technology about to cooperate soon, she’d have plenty of opportunities to get closer to him.

Erin’s gaze fell on the couple opposite her. Seeing how attentively Clark cared for Nyla, she couldn’t help but remark, “Mr. Clark is really good to Ms. Nyla.” 

Clark peeled a shrimp and placed it on Nyla’s plate, then looked at Erin with a teasing smile. “No need to envy. Once you and Uncle Damon are together, he’ll treat you just as well.” 

Erin glanced at Damon’s indifferent face, doubting he was the type to dote on a woman like that. 

As expected, Damon coldly replied, “Don’t assume everyone is like you. And if I’m not mistaken, you didn’t always treat her this well. Did you do something to feel guilty about?” 

Clark’s smile froze, and his gaze turned icy as he looked at Damon. 

The unusual tension between them made Erin frown, sensing something unsaid. 

After a moment, Clark pulled Nyla closer and smiled. “You’re overthinking it, Uncle Damon. Nyla and I are very close.” 

Nyla lowered her head, suppressing the urge to push away Clark’s arm around her. She knew that if she wanted to stay with him, she couldn’t always appear cold and distant. Otherwise, he would start to question her reasons for returning. 

Damon chuckled. “If you’re so close, why did she move out?” 

Marie looked at Nyla in surprise, her brows furrowing. Nyla had moved 

out? 

In truth, Marie wasn’t entirely satisfied with Nyla as a granddaughter–in-
