Luca caught a glimpse of Mason’s profile and felt a strange sense of familiarity. He couldn’t quite place where he had seen it before. Before he could look closer, Nyla had already put the mask on Mason. Standing up, Nyla faced Damon, trying to appear calm. “Mr. Sumner, Mr. Fleming, what a coincidence.” Damon nodded. “The company has an amusement park project, so we’re here to do some research.” As he spoke, his eyes drifted to Mason, whom Nyla was holding by the hand.
Mason looked up at him, and for a brief moment, their eyes met.
Damon felt an odd, indescribable sensation. He usually didn’t care for children, finding them a hassle, but there was something about Mason that stirred none of his usual annoyance.
“This child…” he began to say.
Nyla instinctively pulled Mason behind her but quickly realized how overprotective she was being. She forced a smile to maintain her composure. “He’s my son. He’s a bit shy… Well, since you’re here on business, I won’t hold you up. Goodbye.”
Without giving Damon a chance to respond, she immediately pulled Mason away and left quickly.
It wasn’t until their figures disappeared that Luca, unable to contain his surprise, muttered, “I didn’t know Ms. Kinsey had a child this big already… I don’t remember hearing anything about her getting married.”
Damon pulled his gaze back, his expression indifferent. “Let’s go.”
Even though Damon remained focused on his work that entire afternoon, his mind kept wandering. The strange feeling from his brief moment of eye contact with Mason lingered, and he couldn’t shake the memory of those eyes.
He thought he must be overworked, allowing such irrelevant thoughts to distract him. Once the amusement park project in Capitarnia was finalized, he decided he would take a few days off to rest.
On the other side, Nyla had been preoccupied and distracted ever since their encounter with Damon.
Mason noticed her restlessness but remained quiet, though a thoughtful glint shone in his eyes.
Nyla had been contemplating how to prevent Damon from discovering Mason’s existence. She even considered sending Mason abroad. In her worry, she didn’t notice how unusually quiet Mason had
become.
It wasn’t until they returned home that Mason broke the silence.
As Mason grew older and learned to read, he realized that the “far away” place his mom had mentioned was heaven. He had also learned a word for it–dead.

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....
