Trading My Ex for His Uncle (Nyla) novel Chapter 455

Nyla was irritated by the persistent knocking and slowly walked out of her bedroom. She asked, "Valarie, who's at the door?"

Valarie turned to her and said softly, "It's Damon."

Nyla's hand, resting on the doorframe, grew pale from tension, and her already wan face seemed even more drawn.

After a moment of silence, she finally said, "Let him in."

Since Damon was already aware of the situation, she couldn't avoid him forever or remain hidden indefinitely.

"But you—" Valarie's gaze involuntarily dropped to Nyla's stomach, filled with concern.

Nyla forced a smile. "It's okay."

She had known that a day like this would come the moment she discovered she was pregnant.

"Alright then," Valarie replied and opened the door.

An immediate chill ran down Nyla's spine. Facing Damon up close felt far more oppressive than seeing him through the peephole. An icy dread seemed to rise from her feet.

Damon's eyes were calm, but his expression was cold and unreadable. Still, Valarie could sense the suppressed fury beneath his calm exterior, ready to erupt.

"Damon, Nyla is—" Before Valarie could finish, Damon pushed past her and entered.

Upon seeing Nyla leaning against the doorframe, looking pale, Damon abruptly halted. His clenched fists betrayed his anger.

Valarie quickly stepped in front of Nyla, adopting a protective stance. "Damon, if you're going to do something, take it out on me. I signed the papers. Nyla is weak right now, and you—"

"Get out!" Damon's cold, piercing glare cut her off, his eyes flashing with a dangerous glint.

Valarie had never seen him like this before and trembled involuntarily. Despite that, she stood her ground, protecting Nyla.

Seeing Valarie's slight shiver, Nyla felt a pang of gratitude. Even though Valarie was scared, she still stood bravely in front of her.
