Trading My Ex for His Uncle (Nyla) novel Chapter 423

Seeing Nyla's sadness, Damon wanted to pull her into his arms. However, as soon as he touched her, she stepped back.

A flicker of disappointment crossed his eyes as he noticed how she deliberately kept her distance.

"You should head home for now. I've asked Spencer to investigate, and I'll let you know when we have results," he said.

"Alright," Nyla answered.

She walked out of Prospectus Technology and saw Gabriel standing by her car, clearly waiting for her. She quickly approached, her attitude as cold as ever. "Do you need something?"

"Nyla, have you figured it out?" Gabriel asked.

Nyla looked up at him. "Figured out what?"

"Nothing," he replied.

His gentle facade only made Nyla feel more disgusted. He clearly despised her, yet continued to put on this act. She almost pitied him for how hard he tried.

"If there's nothing else, I'm leaving," she said.

Gabriel nodded. "Alright."

As Nyla's car disappeared from sight, Gabriel finally looked away, got into his vehicle, and headed toward the police station.

…

Later that evening, Nyla was making dinner when the doorbell rang unexpectedly. She opened the door to find Damon standing there.

"Mr. Sumner, has Spencer found anything?" she asked.

The moment the door opened, Damon caught the scent of her cooking.

"Are you making dinner?" he asked.

Nyla pressed her lips together. "Yes."

Seeing that she wasn't going to invite him, Damon raised an eyebrow and smiled. "I haven't eaten yet. How about we talk over dinner?"
