Chapter 309
Damon approached them with a smile, but Nyla could sense his bad mood.
Gabriel followed her gaze and noticed Damon, his eyes narrowing slightly as he perceived the hostility. Damon walked directly to Nyla and sat down beside her. With a smile, he said, “Nyla, I didn’t know you were having dinner with your brother, I would’ve joined you if I had known.”
Gabriel looked at Nyla, his expression questioning. ‘This is?”
Feeling the weight of both men’s gazes, Nyla frowned.
Just as she was about to introduce them, Damon interjected with a smile, “Mr. Hackett, it’s nice to meet you. I’m Damon Sumner, Nyla’s boyfriend and the CEO of Prospectus Technology.”
Gabriel’s eyes flickered as he shook hands with Damon. “Hello, I’m Gabriel Hackett.”
In that brief exchange, only the two men understood the underlying tension.
Nyla asked Damon, “What are you doing here?”
Damon released Gabriel’s hand and turned to her. “What’s wrong? Can’t I join you? It seems like you didn’t want me here.”
Nyla replied, “I thought you might be busy.”
“No matter how busy I am, I can always find time to have dinner with your family, Damon said.
Gabriel’s grip on the table tightened as Damon’s words reminded him of his role as Nyla’s stepbrother. His gaze toward Damon began to show a hint of hostility.
He had hoped that with Nyla’s divorce from Clark, he might have a chance. It now seemed that Damon had beaten him to it.
“Then have a look at what you want. We just ordered for two,” Nyla said.
Damon handed her the menu with a smile. “You pick. You know what I like.”
Since they hadn’t been together long, Nyla wasn’t sure of his preferences. She didn’t want to embarrass him in front of Gabriel either, so she took the menu and ordered a few dishes.

When will the new chapters come...
Author! Why does it always so mean? Like a new character will appear and at the end of the chapter, they're all antagonist who always intend to hurt Nyla. Is there any character who will protect her with no expectation in return of any thing?...
AUTHOR!!! NOTICE THIS PLEASE!!!! I hope that Nyla's heart can be softened with Damon alone like clear things up and make some intimate time with each other. And of course Damon talking to Rebecca will make Nyla go back to her status again. Just a short calmness and joy for Nyla and Damon....
