Trading My Ex for His Uncle (Nyla) novel Chapter 243

"Call me when you've made up your mind," Clark said.

Nyla took her phone, her gaze lowered in silence. After Clark left, she quickly locked the door and propped a chair against it, finally feeling a bit of safety.

After a moment of reflection, she called Damon.

In the Sumner residence's living room…

Richard and Marie sat on the sofa with grim expressions, while Damon stood nearby.

"Clark says you have feelings for a married woman. Is that true?" Richard asked, his gaze stern and scrutinizing.

As Richard's most distinguished son, Damon was expected to uphold the family's reputation. Richard could not tolerate any scandal involving Damon and a married woman.

Marie also looked displeased. Despite introducing Damon to many eligible young women, he hadn't shown interest in any of them. If it turned out he was interested in a married woman, it would be a major embarrassment.

Realizing the matter couldn't be hidden for long, Damon decided to be straightforward. "Yes."

Richard slammed his hand on the table, his face dark with anger. "I don't care who you're interested in! You need to end this immediately!"

Marie clutched her chest, unable to believe what she was hearing. "Damon, you've never caused us any trouble. With your status, you can have any woman you want. Why on earth are you fixated on a married woman?"

Damon met their gaze steadily and replied, "She'll be divorced soon."

Marie was so distressed she could barely speak. "Even if she divorces, it's unacceptable! If you're involved with a divorced woman, what will people say about you? They'll say you've lowered yourself to pick up someone else's leftovers!"
