"Gabriel sees you as a sister, so of course, he wouldn't say it directly," Wren said with a sneer.
"But the girl he was on a date with did. She said he brought another woman along, claiming she was his girlfriend. He's just returned to the country and doesn't know many people in Saintornia. If you weren't the one he brought, who else could it be?" she demanded.
Nyla looked at Wren intently. "Wren, shouldn't you consider why you're pushing him to go on dates when he's just back and hasn't even settled into his job yet?"
Wren laughed coldly, her tone sharp. "Gabriel isn't like you, already married once and willing to settle for any divorced man. I have to be concerned about his future. If you have nothing to do, you should stay away from him and not ruin his relationships!"
Nyla's gaze turned icy.
Just as she was about to respond, the chair next to her was abruptly pulled out. She turned instinctively and saw Damon sitting down beside her.
He wore a smile, but his eyes were devoid of warmth, sending a chill down one's spine. "Mrs. Jayston, I didn't quite catch what you just said. Why don't you repeat it?"
Facing Damon's cold gaze, Wren lost all her earlier arrogance. She forced a smile, trying to placate him. After all, with Gabriel working at Prospectus Technology, offending Damon could spell trouble for him.
"Mr. Sumner, I was just chatting casually with Nyla," she said.
Damon looked at her icily. "What kind of casual chat makes you suggest that she should settle for any divorced man in the future? Have you forgotten that you're also divorced and even brought a son into your second marriage?"
Wren's smile froze, her face paling. She hadn't expected Damon to be so blunt.
The atmosphere grew tense and awkward.
After a few seconds of silence, Wren forced another smile. "Mr. Sumner, that's not what I meant. It's just that having been through a divorce myself, I know how difficult it is for divorced women. That's why—"
"So you decided to kick someone when they're down?" Damon interrupted.

The readers' comments on the novel: Trading My Ex for His Uncle (Nyla)
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....
