"Okay," Nathaniel answered.
As they embraced, their thoughts were worlds apart.
Nathaniel was preoccupied with Rebecca's health, while Rebecca was focused on seizing the rare opportunity to get close to Damon if he attended the party the following night. It might be her only chance to make something happen with him.
…
The next evening, when Nyla arrived at Valarie's house, the driveway was already lined with luxury cars.
After confirming Nyla's identity, a maid escorted her into the hall.
Upon entering, Nyla immediately noticed the many eyes fixed on her, accompanied by a murmuring buzz.
"Isn't that Nyla? I thought after her divorce from Clark, she'd completely fade from this circle."
"Why would she have the nerve to attend Valarie's birthday party? Is she hoping to catch a wealthy suitor here?"
"Hah, everyone knows about her past with the Sumners. Who would take her seriously? Maybe for a fling, but not as a serious prospect—her looks are her only asset."
Valarie overheard the murmurs, and her expression darkened immediately.
She declared, "Nyla is my friend and a guest at tonight's party. She is no different from anyone else here. If anyone has a problem with my friend, you are welcome to leave. Tonight is my birthday party, not a stage for anyone else."

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....
