Trading My Ex for His Uncle (Nyla) novel Chapter 1343

"Buddy clearly doesn't want to talk about it," Damon said. "If you keep pressing him, it'll only make him feel worse. I'll have Spencer look into what happened at the party today. Once we have the full picture, we'll figure out what to do. For now, let's go eat dinner."

Nyla pressed her lips together. "I don't have much of an appetite."

Thinking of how dejected Mason had looked earlier made her heart ache.

"You still need to eat something," Damon coaxed.

Distracted, Nyla took only a few bites before setting her utensils down.

Damon didn't push her. Instead, he asked Lydia to keep the food warm in case she got hungry later.

Soon after dinner, Spencer arrived. "Mr. Sumner, I managed to get the surveillance footage from the Tafts' party today."

Damon nodded and had Spencer send it to his phone.

The video was over half an hour long. At first, everything seemed normal, but midway through, things took a turn.

A group of kids cornered Mason, forcing him to eat all the cake in their hands.

After watching the footage, Nyla trembled with anger. "These kids are out of line! We can't just let this go!"

Damon gently rubbed her back, his voice soft but firm. "Nyla, calm down. You're pregnant. Let me handle this."

Nyla took a deep breath and nodded. "Alright. I'll go to the kindergarten and talk to Mason's teacher about this on Monday."

"Good. For now, go check on Buddy," Damon said.

Just thinking about how helpless Mason must have felt being forced to eat that cake made Nyla's heart clench.

"Okay," she relented.

After she left, Damon's expression turned ice-cold. "Find out who those kids' parents are."
