Oliver noticed the way Nyla’s ears reddened, sensing her shyness but choosing not to comment on it. He nodded. “Alright. I have a full day of meetings tomorrow. Let’s plan for dinner the day after.”
“That depends on whether I have to stay late for experiments,” Nyla replied.
“Okay, I know you’re busy. I’ll check in with you again the day after,” Oliver said easily.
As Nyla walked him to the door, Oliver hesitated before asking, “You don’t have to see me out, but… can I give you a hug?”

Before he even finished, she stepped forward and wrapped her arms around him.
Oliver froze, his eyes wide in disbelief. He had prepared himself for rejection, so her response caught him completely off guard.
After a moment of shock, joy surged through him. He gently returned the embrace, treating her like something fragile and precious.
“Nyla, I’m really happy you’re willing to respond to me,” he said, his voice unsteady.
Feeling the depth of his emotions, Nyla loosened her hold and replied sincerely, “Oliver, I’m willing to try
to get closer to you, so you don’t need to be so careful or worry about upsetting me.”
“Got it,” he said softly.
“Alright, y should head back now,” she urged.
Reluctantly, Oliver headed downstairs to his car, already toying with the idea of buying the unit across from Nyla’s. That way, he could see her and Mason every day.
After watching his car drive away, Nyla felt her heart racing. The sensation of hugging Oliver lingered, her thoughts spinning with the unfamiliar excitement.

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....
