Nathaniel turned to Rebecca in disbelief, gritting his teeth. "Rebecca, what does Damon mean by this?"
Rebecca shook her head, tears streaming down her face, but she refused to speak.
At that moment, Nathaniel understood everything.
Despite being with him, Rebecca had still been seeking opportunities to be with Damon. The realization made him feel foolish for wanting to stay with her.
He chuckled bitterly, his expression growing cold. "Since you still have feelings for Damon, let's break up."
For years, he had silently loved Rebecca, but her attention always seemed to be on Damon, never on him. No matter how deeply he loved her, her lack of response over time had worn him down.
Rebecca was stunned, panic flashing in her eyes. She reached out to grab Nathaniel, but he avoided her touch.
Without looking back, he walked away.
"Nathaniel!" Rebecca cried, her face turning pale as she hurried to chase after him.
She stopped him at the villa's entrance, her eyes filled with regret and guilt. "Nathaniel, I was just confused. It was only when you mentioned breaking up that I realized I've been in love with you all along. I just didn't realize it... Please, let's not break up."
Seeing the tears in Rebecca's eyes, Nathaniel felt conflicted. After all, she was the woman he had loved for so many years. Even though he had decided to break up earlier, seeing her distressed now made his heart ache.
Rebecca grew more anxious at Nathaniel's silence. She grabbed his hand, her voice choked with emotion. "Nathaniel, I truly understand my mistake. Please give me one last chance. I promise I'll be with you properly from now on."
Nathaniel was silent for a moment before gently pulling his hand away from hers.
"Rebecca, I've been disappointed too many times. Since you love Damon, I should let go," he said and walked past her.

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....
