Not wanting to waste any more time arguing, Nyla turned to leave, but Damon blocked her path. She frowned and looked up, about to speak, when he suddenly wrapped his arms around her waist.
"What are you— Mmph!" Her words were cut off as Damon's lips pressed against hers.
Nyla's eyes widened in shock.
Was he out of his mind?!
The balcony was only separated from the main hall by a curtain. Someone could come by at any moment. If anyone saw this, she wouldn't be able to explain herself no matter how hard she tried.
She trembled and tried to push Damon away, but he wouldn't budge. In her fury, she bit down hard on his lip.
Damon winced in pain and released her. He wiped the blood from his mouth and was about to speak when Nyla slapped him across the face.
The sound of the slap echoed in the sudden silence between them. A cool breeze swept through, making Nyla shiver. Damon's gaze was like a brewing storm.
Nyla fought to suppress her fear and looked up at him, speaking with emphasis. "You wanted to know what makes Oliver different? I'll tell you. He's kind and doesn't force me to do things I don't want to. That's the difference between him and you."
With that, she turned and walked away.
Damon's gaze remained dark and brooding as he watched her leave, but he didn't try to stop her.
Neither of them noticed a pair of cold eyes watching from the corner, taking in everything that happened on the balcony.
Rebecca was holding a wine glass, her beautiful features twisted with anger. Her grip on the glass was so tight that it almost shattered.
Taking a deep breath, she glanced at a nearby server, who gave her a nod before carrying a glass of wine toward Damon.
Back in the hall…

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....
