Trading My Ex for His Uncle (Nyla) novel Chapter 426

Damon stood protectively in front of Nyla, shielding her from Gabriel. All she could see was the back of his head, but the panic inside her began to fade slowly.

Instinctively, she grasped the back of his suit jacket, her eyes filling with tears.

Thank goodness he had returned. Otherwise, who knew what Gabriel might have done to her?

Damon glared at Gabriel, his jaw clenched, exuding an icy, intimidating aura.

Meanwhile, Gabriel had completely shed his usual gentle demeanor. He returned Damon's glare with nothing but hostility and contempt.

"Mr. Sumner, juggling getting back together with your ex while messing around with Nyla... The men in your family are all the same, aren't they?" Gabriel sneered.

"You're in no position to lecture me. Get lost," Damon shot back, his voice cold and cutting.

Instead of responding, Gabriel turned his gaze to Nyla behind Damon. "Nyla, I won't give up that easily."

"If you ever come near her again, I'll make sure you regret it!" Damon's voice was filled with warning, his eyes blazing with fury.

Gabriel met his gaze without a hint of fear. "Don't worry. I'm sure we'll have plenty of chances to face off in the future."

With that, Gabriel turned and walked away.

As Damon turned to face Nyla, he saw her pale face, clearly still shaken. The coldness in his eyes softened.

"Don't be scared. It's over now," he said gently.

Suddenly, Nyla threw her arms around his waist, her voice trembling. "Mr. Sumner, thank you!"

Damon froze. It took him a few seconds before he slowly placed a hand on her back, softly reassuring her, "It's okay now. I won't let him hurt you again."
