Chapter 126
Nyla was momentarily stunned before she looked down and said calmly, “Ms. Hulle, I’m afraid I can’t help you. I’m not close to Uncle Damon.”
“You’re family. How can you not be close? Ms. Nyla, you’re not unwilling to help me, are you?” Erin asked, her gaze probing.
During her last visit to the Sumner residence, Erin had noticed something strange about the way Damon looked at Nyla.
After some reflection, she decided to investigate Nyla further and discovered that Nyla was now working at Prospectus Technology. Erin planned to assess Nyla’s attitude toward Damon.
Nyla excused herself, “Ms. Hulle, it’s not that I don’t want to help you. I really am not close to him. I have unfinished work in the lab, so I must go.”
With that, she stood up and left.
Erin watched Nyla walk away, a cold glint in her eyes. It seemed Nyla wasn’t going to be easy to deal with, so Erin would need to proceed with
caution.

Back in the lab, Nyla continued her experiments.
Time flew by, and she didn’t realize it was already past 6:00 p.m. until Clark called. “Nyla, I’m downstairs at Prospectus Technology. I’ll pick
you up.
Nyla packed her things and headed to the elevator.
Prospectus Technology’s workday ended at 5:00 p.m., and Damon didn’t encourage overtime, so the office was nearly

When the elevator arrived from the top floor, Nyla saw Damon and Erin inside. She hesitated for a moment.
“Mr. Sumner, Ms. Hulle,” she greeted
Erin smiled and nodded at her, while Damon’s expression remained cold, as though he were deliberately ignoring her.
Nyla had noticed that when the elevator doors first opened, Damon had been chatting with Erin, a faint smile on his face.
It seemed he truly disliked Nyla, but this was the reaction Erin had been hoping for.
Stepping into the elevator, Nyla turned her back to them.
Erin’s soft voice broke the silence. “Mr. Damon, I know of a newly opened restaurant that’s quite good. How about we go there for dinner tonight?”
“Sure, you decide,” Damon replied in his deep voice.
Nyla couldn’t help but sense a hint of warmth in it.
If he and Erin ended up together, they would make a good match.
Ignoring the discomfort in her heart, Nyla focused on the floor number. For the first time, the descent from the eighth floor to the first seemed interminable.
Her subtle movements didn’t escape Damon’s notice, and his gaze grew even colder.
Finally, the elevator reached the first floor.
As Nyla stepped out, she heard Erin’s cheerful voice. “Mr. Clark and Ms. Nyla seem to get along well. He even picks her up from work.”

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....
