"Thanks, but there's no need. In the future, let's try to keep our interactions to a minimum. I don't want to be insulted anymore," Nyla requested coldly.
She was about to walk past Gabriel when he stopped her.
"Nyla, I apologize on behalf of my mother for what she said. I've spoken to her, and she promises not to contact you again. Please don't be angry, okay?" Gabriel asked.
"If she truly believes she was wrong, then you wouldn't be the one showing up here tonight," Nyla replied.
Gabriel frowned and asked softly, "If she came to apologize in person, would you forgive her?"
Nyla's displeasure was evident. She didn't understand why Gabriel was so insistent that she forgive Wren.
Wren was just her stepmother—their interactions had been minimal, and there was no need to force a reconciliation.
"I won't forget what she said to me, and I can't forgive her. If there's nothing else, don't come looking for me again," she said.
Without giving Gabriel a chance to respond, Nyla opened the door and went inside.
Gabriel stood at the door for a moment before leaving. When he got home, he encountered Wren returning for clothes.
Seeing the bag in his hand, Wren frowned. "Where did you go just now?"
Gabriel replied calmly, "I went to deliver some food to Nyla."
Wren's expression darkened, and her tone became sharp. "Didn't I tell you to keep your distance from her?"
"I didn't agree to that, and she's my sister," Gabriel answered.
"Sister?" Wren scoffed. "You have no blood relation to her. Continuing to associate with her will only drag you down. You've just returned to the country. Offending the Sumners won't be good for you. I'm doing this for your own good!"
"I said, I don't care," Gabriel insisted.
"You don't care?" Wren angrily threw the clothes she was holding onto the sofa and stood up, gritting her teeth. "Even if you don't care, can't you think about me? I raised you with great difficulty, sent you abroad to study, and now that there's finally some hope, you're about to ruin your future over someone irrelevant!"

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....
