As soon as Damon stepped out of the car, someone else appeared at the entrance of the apartment building.
Damon's stride faltered, and his expression immediately hardened.
Gabriel positioned himself in front of Nyla.
Nyla's face, though free of makeup, remained strikingly beautiful, causing Gabriel's heart to stir as he gazed at her.
"Do you need something?" she asked, her tone frosty.
Sensing her coldness, Gabriel looked somewhat disappointed but managed a forced smile. "Nyla, I just returned from visiting your dad. He misses you. If you're free tomorrow night, let's go see him together."
Nyla pressed her lips together. "Okay. If I'm free, I'll go."
Eager to avoid further interaction with Gabriel, she turned to leave.
Just as Gabriel was about to call after her, he felt a cold stare. Turning, he saw Damon approaching, his face stormy.
Nyla noticed Damon too. Her gaze flickered with confusion. He had publicly reconciled with Rebecca—why was he there?
With that thought in mind, she walked to the elevator and pressed the up button, pretending not to see Damon.
Gabriel smirked. "Mr. Sumner, what brings you here?"
"I'm here to see her. It has nothing to do with you," Damon replied.
"Of course it does. I'm Nyla's brother, and you're a man with a girlfriend. It's inappropriate for you to be seeking her out privately, don't you think?" Gabriel countered.
Damon's gaze grew colder. "This is between her and me. It's not your place to interfere."
"But it seems Nyla doesn't want to see you," Gabriel retorted.
The chill in Damon's eyes deepened, his cold aura almost palpable.
Gabriel, however, maintained a faint smile, showing no fear as he met Damon's gaze.
While they were locked in their standoff, the elevator doors opened.

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....
