Nyla wasn't prepared for what happened next. Her lower back slammed against the edge of the marble sink, sending a sharp pain shooting through her body. Her face turned pale.
Nathaniel quickly rushed over to support a swaying Rebecca, his expression anxious. "Rebecca, are you alright?"
A bruise was already forming on Rebecca's forehead, but she managed a weak smile. "Nathaniel, I'm fine. Ms. Jayston didn't do it on purpose... Besides, I just got back, and Damon broke up with her. It's only natural for her to be angry with me..."
Nathaniel's expression darkened as he glared at Nyla. "Rebecca and Damon were together before. They're just getting back together now. No matter how unhappy you are, there's nothing you can do about it. If I see you lay a hand on Rebecca again, I won't let you off easy!"
Nyla had been caught off guard by Rebecca's little stunt, and her back still throbbed from when Nathaniel had shoved her into the sink.
Already irritated, she couldn't help but sneer at his words. "Mr. Preston, by your logic, since Rebecca and Damon are a couple, it should be Damon saying this to me, not you. Anyone who doesn't know better would think you were her boyfriend."
Nathaniel's expression darkened further, his eyes cold. "Considering you were with Damon before, I'll let this slide if you apologize now. Otherwise, when Damon shows up, you won't be able to handle the consequences!"
Before he could finish speaking, a cold voice came from the side. "Apologize for what?"
Nathaniel turned to see Damon and said coldly, "Damon, you're just in time. Ms. Jayston pushed Rebecca on purpose. Who knows what could have happened if I hadn't stepped in?"
He pushed Rebecca toward Damon, his anger still evident.
Damon looked down and saw the bruise on Rebecca's forehead, his gaze hardening.
Tears of grievance welled up in Rebecca's eyes as she looked pitifully at Damon. Even so, she tugged at his arm, pleading on Nyla's behalf, "Damon, Ms. Jayston didn't do it on purpose. And… I did take you away from her right after I got back, so, understandably, she'd resent me..."

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....
