Trading My Ex for His Uncle (Nyla) novel Chapter 327

Damon's gaze instantly darkened, but he remained silent. Instead, he withdrew his arm from Rebecca's grasp and pulled out the chair closest to her. "Have a seat."

Afterward, he avoided looking at Rebecca and sat in the chair beside her.

Rebecca's smile faltered momentarily, but she quickly regained her composure and sat next to him as if nothing had happened.

Most people probably didn't notice, but Nathaniel could sense Damon's indifference toward Rebecca.

Their behavior suggested that they had not reconciled, yet if they hadn't, Damon likely wouldn't have brought her along like this.

Pushing aside the strange feeling in his heart, Nathaniel smiled and said, "Alright, it's Rebecca's welcome-back party tonight. I'm glad everyone could make time to come."

The room buzzed with conversation, with most attention focused on Rebecca.

For a moment, she felt as if she were back when she was with Damon—being the center of attention.

She was well aware that if Damon hadn't come with her tonight, these people wouldn't be so enthusiastic.

That didn't matter, though. Her ultimate goal in returning to the country was to marry Damon and become Mrs. Sumner.

Amidst all the praise, a sarcastic voice suddenly cut through the chatter. "If I'm not mistaken, Mr. Sumner was recently seen with Nyla Jayston. How is it that, in less than two weeks, he's back with Ms. Austen? Could it be that Ms. Austen is the other woman?"

The room fell silent instantly, and Rebecca's smile froze.
