Trading My Ex for His Uncle (Nyla) novel Chapter 281

After saying that, Nyla turned and quickly left the room.

Harrison wanted to call after her but ultimately couldn't make a sound. He covered his face in anguish, regretting everything he had done and said. He had intended to protect her, but his words had caused so much pain.

Wren sighed and said softly, "Harrison, don't blame yourself. This isn't your fault… It's mine. If I hadn't said those things, your relationship with Nyla wouldn't be like this…"

Harrison hung his head in silence, unsure of how to respond.

Outside the hospital, Nyla wiped the tears from her eyes, questioning her actions for the first time.

Why was everyone against her? Should she really give up?

But when she thought of Cyrus and Clark's schemes against her, and what Cyrus had done to her family, she couldn't bring herself to let it go. There was no turning back now—she had to stay with Damon and use him to deal with the Sumners.

…

When Nyla returned to the villa, it was already past 9:00 p.m.

Damon was home, sitting on the sofa and reading documents.

"Where have you been? Why are you back so late?" he asked.

Nyla shook her head. "It's nothing. I'm a bit tired. I'm going to rest now."

As she walked past the sofa, Damon suddenly spoke up. "Wait, what happened to your face?"

Nyla bit her lip and was about to respond when Damon approached her, brushing the hair from her face.

Upon seeing the mark of a slap on her cheek, his demeanor turned cold. "Who did this?"

"No one. Don't ask. I'm tired and just want to rest," she replied.
