Chapter 512
Nyla glanced at Mason, who was waiting at the table for dinner, and hesitated.
“Caroline, I really don’t have time tonight. The nanny is on leave, and I’m not comfortable leaving Buddy at home alone,” she explained.
“Why don’t you bring him along? I can look after him for a while. Once you’re done with the investor, you can take him back home,” Caroline offered.
Hearing Caroline’s urgent tone, Nyla realized it would be difficult to avold tonight’s party.
She bit her lip and said softly, “Let me ask Buddy.”
After ending the call, Nyla walked over to the dining table and crouched down to face Mason. “Buddy, Mommy needs to go to a celebration party tonight. I’m not comfortable leaving you at home alone. Would you like to come with me? It won’t take long.”
Mason looked at her, thought for a few seconds, then nodded. “Okay.”
He jumped off his chair and headed to his bedroom.
Nyla followed him and watched as he grabbed his portable language practice tape from his room. She felt a bit exasperated.
“Mason, you can take one of the comic books Mommy bought you when you go out to play. You don’t have to study all the time,” Nyla reminded him.
Mason looked unfazed. “I don’t like comic books.”
“What do you like then? Tell Mommy. I’ll get it for you next time,” Nyla said.
“I like studying.” Mason answered.
Nyla was speechless. –
Sometimes, she felt there was no common ground between her and her son.
At his age, shouldn’t he be into toy cars and superheroes? Why did he always seem so much more mature and emotionally stable than she was?
Being a mother in this situation felt unfulfilling.
The venue for the celebration party was not far from Nyla’s apartment, taking less than half an hour to
reach.
Nyla nodded. “Has the investor arrived yet?”

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....
