Chapter 497
#26 BONUS
How Ironic. Nathaniel once fantasized about the day he could marry Rebecca, but now that she was actually his wife, they both despised each other so much that they wished the other were dead.
Wren had kept the news of Nyla’s cliff dive a secret for a month, but Harrison eventually found out.
Overwhelmed by shock, he fainted and had to be revived multiple times over the next three days.
Even after waking up, he couldn’t come to terms with reality. He refused to eat or undergo treatment, clearly resigning himself to dying.
Wren tried to persuade him but to no avail. In frustration, she threw the food into the trash and sat by his bed, crying. “Fine, don’t eat then. I’ll starve with you!”
Harrison turned his back to her as if he hadn’t heard.
After a long silence, he finally spoke in a weary voice. I have two bank cards in the bedside drawer. There’s money in them that should be enough for you to live on-
Wren interrupted him angrily, “Why are you telling me this? If you want to die, I’ll die with you!”
Harrison was silent for a moment before saying slowly, “You’ve had a hard time too over the years. Nyla is my biological daughter. My only wish was to see her live happily, but I failed her. Not only did I not help her, but I also criticized her constantly. I’m the one who let her down.
“Wren, you know me. I really don’t want to live anymore. I don’t know what purpose my life still serves.” Wren threw herself by the bedside, choking back tears. “Without Nyla, you still have me and Gabriel. Gabriel will be like your own son. And Nyla would want you to live a good life too…”
Harrison closed his eyes and said softly, “Pick a good day. I plan to hold a funeral for her and send her off.
Suddenly, Wren seemed to remember something and spoke excitedly. “Harrison, Nyla’s body hasn’t been found. She might still be alive!”
Harrison’s expression changed, though he knew the chances were slim, a glimmer of hope still rose in

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....
