Trading My Ex for His Uncle (Nyla) novel Chapter 1348

"Then it's settled. I'll pick you up tomorrow morning. We'll need to get our hair and makeup done too," Valarie said.

Nyla nodded. "Alright."

That evening, during dinner, Damon mentioned his upcoming business trip.

Nyla looked slightly surprised but quickly nodded. "How long will you be gone?"

"Two or three days. I'm not sure yet," Damon replied.

"Okay, got it."

Damon placed a piece of braised pork on her plate and gently reminded her, "While I'm away, let Lydia and the maids handle things. Don't try to do everything yourself."

"Got it," Valarie answered.

"Yeah. From now on, don't wait up for me. Sleeping on the couch isn't comfortable," he said.

Nyla wrapped her arms around his neck. "You work so hard even after coming home. I just want to keep you company... but I get so sleepy lately and doze off without realizing it..."

"Mm. Your most important job right now is taking care of yourself. Be good and wait for me in bed next time," Damon reminded her.

"Okay," Nyla murmured.

Damon laid her down on the bed before heading into the bathroom for a shower.
