The blaring car horns from the back snapped Nyla back to reality. She quickly pulled over to the side of the road.
Her hands were shaking as she picked up her phone.
The call was still connected, and Valarie's anxious voice came through. "Nyla, what happened? Are you okay? Are you on your way to work? I shouldn't have told you this now!"
Nyla wiped her misty eyes and replied quietly, "I'm fine. My phone just fell."
"I'm glad you're okay... I really shouldn't have called you now..." Valarie's voice was filled with regret.

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....
