Trading My Ex for His Uncle (Nyla) novel Chapter 278

Hearing the annoyance in Nyla's voice, Damon chuckled and let her go. If he kept teasing her, she might actually get mad.

Nyla took a few steps back, smoothing her hair that had become tousled during their playful scuffle. She shot Damon an irritated look.

"Alright, don't be mad. I might have to work late tonight, so I'll have the driver take you home first," Damon said.

Nyla frowned. "Your wounds need to be dressed. How late are you planning to work?"

"Not sure yet. As for the dressing, I'll have Spencer take care of it," he replied.

Nyla grew more frustrated due to Damon's casual demeanor, her face turning cold as she remained silent.

Damon sighed. "It's really nothing, just minor wounds. They'll heal in a few days."

"I'll come by after work to change your bandages, and then I'll head home," Nyla said.

When the elevator doors opened, she stepped out, leaving no room for Damon to protest.

Watching her hurry away, Damon couldn't help but smile.

Meanwhile, Clark returned home with a dark expression.

Jordyn, sitting in the living room with an acai bowl, noticed his frown and put down her bowl. "What's wrong? Did Grandpa still refuse to let you back into the Sumner Group?"

Clark sneered. "I expected that before I even went."

"Then who upset you?" Jordyn asked.

Clark's eyes flashed with irritation as he took in Jordyn's pregnant figure and slightly fuller body.

"It's none of your business!" he snapped.

He turned and walked briskly toward the study, not wanting to look at her any longer.
