Trading My Ex for His Uncle (Nyla) novel Chapter 1341

Nyla suddenly recalled the strange questions Valarie had been asking her a few days ago.

At the time, she'd been confused, but now she had a feeling they were connected to the surprise Damon had mentioned.

"Alright, I won't ask any more. We'll talk about the surprise later. But you can't keep leaving early and coming home so late. It makes me uneasy," she said.

Damon nodded. "Understood! So... can I hug you now, wifey?"

The corners of his eyes crinkled slightly, his gaze warm with affection.

Nyla reached out first and hugged him. "Yes."

Just as Damon wrapped his arms around her, Mason's voice interrupted them.

"Daddy, Mommy, if you're going to hug, can you do it in your room? This is the living room—a public space! Not the place for PDA," he said, unimpressed.

Damon pulled away from Nyla and looked at Mason. "Why are you still up so late?"

"I woke up thirsty, so I came down for some water," Mason said, walking toward the kitchen.

Nyla instinctively moved to follow him, but Damon gently held her back. "Nyla, Buddy is five now. He can handle things on his own. Let's see if he needs help, and we'll step in if he does."

Mason looked confident, clearly used to getting his own water. He probably had it all figured out.

"Alright," Nyla said.

A moment later, Mason returned with a glass of water.

Seeing his parents still standing there, he frowned. "Why are you two still here?"

"We were waiting for you," they said in unison.

The three of them headed upstairs together.

When they reached Mason's door, he turned back to them. "Goodnight, Daddy. Goodnight, Mommy."

They watched him walk into his room before heading back to theirs.
