Chapter 124
Nyla stood still, sensing a dangerous vibe from Damon that made her instinctively want to flee.
“Uncle Damon, it’s dark here, and it’s not appropriate for us to be alone. I’ll head back,” she said, turning to leave.
As she took a few steps, though, she heard footsteps behind her. Panicking, she tried to quicken her pace but stumbled and tripped.
She lost her balance, but a strong hand grabbed her waist and pulled
her back.
Nyla fell into Damon’s arms. She quickly pushed him away and stepped back.
Damon narrowed his eyes, the menace in them intensifying as he remarked, “You use people and then discard them. You’re quite skilled at that.”
Nyla bit her lip, feeling embarrassed. “Uncle Damon, thank you for just now, but we should keep our distance.”
Damon stepped closer, and Nyla instinctively tried to retreat but found herself against the door of the greenhouse. She had nowhere to go.
When they were so close that they could hear each other’s breathing, Damon looked down at her and said, “But I don’t want to keep my
distance.”
Nyla took a deep breath, looked up at him, and said, “Uncle Damon, Ms. Hulle is more suitable for you. She’s beautiful and-”
Before she could finish, her eyes widened in shock. Damon grabbed her chin and kissed her, swallowing the rest of her words.
Nyla was stunned. For a moment, she was completely frozen. This was

the Sumners‘ home. Was he out of his mind?!
When she regained her composure, she shoved him away and warned,” Uncle Damon, have some respect!”
Fury filled Nyla as she glared at Damon with icy disdain.
“If I hear you mention any other woman again, I’ll have to shut you up my way,” Damon said, his tone serious.
Nyla clenched her hands at her sides. She turned her gaze away and said coldly, “If you don’t want to hear it, I won’t say it. Can I leave now?”
If anyone saw her alone with Damon in the middle of the night, who knew what they would think?
Marie already disliked her. If Marie discovered Damon’s feelings for her, who knew what she would do?
Damon’s demeanor grew even colder. “Do you really not want to be around me that much?”
“Uncle Damon, given our relationship, is it appropriate for us to be alone, together? You might not be affected, but have you considered what people will say about me?”
In the end, Nyla thought Damon’s feelings were just a fleeting
infatuation. If he truly cared about her, he wouldn’t risk her reputation by cornering her late at night.
Damon’s gaze grew even colder as he questioned, “Who dares to speak. ill of you?”
Nyla scoffed. “You can’t control what others say.”

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....
