Chapter 617
The familiar scent of pine momentarily caught Nyla off guard. It wasn’t until the crowd cleared that Damon let go of her.
“Are you okay?” His cool, deep voice came from above her.
Nyla pressed her lips together and replied softly, “I’m fine.”
“Good to hear,” Damon said.
“Daddy, can you and Mommy ride the carousel with me?” Mason looked up at Damon, completely unbothered by what had just happened and unaware that Nyla had zoned out.
Damon thought the carousel was childish, something only kids and women would enjoy. Just as he was about to decline, Mason grabbed his leg, looking up at him with eager eyes.
Caught in Mason’s hopeful gaze, Damon found himself relenting. “Alright, let’s do it.“–
They lined up at the carousel. Just as they were about to get on, Nyla’s phone suddenly rang.
When she saw it was Oliver, she looked up at Damon. “I need to take this call. If we get to the front of the Tine, just take Buddy on the ride.”
Damon, towering over Nyla, caught a glimpse of the name flashing on her screen when she pulled out her phone.
Ever since he learned the truth from Richard, his feelings toward Nyla had become complicated. They were different from his previous aversion–they were something more nuanced.
He knew Oliver was Nyla’s boyfriend and felt he should just agree now, yet it made him uncomfortable.
After a moment of silence, he pushed his swirling emotions down and replied, “Sure, but if you can, hurry back. Buddy wants to ride the carousel with both of us, after all.”
He intentionally emphasized the word “us“.
Nyla nodded. “Okay.”
Stepping aside, she answered the call.
“Oliver, what’s up?” she asked.
Oliver’s gentle voice came through the line. “Nyla, what are you up to? Do you want to bring Buddy out for lunch? I haven’t seen him in a while.”
Oliver claimed he wouldn’t mind her past with Damon, but she was living under the same roof with Damon now. Oliver might misunderstand if he found out about today, so it was better to keep it to herself.

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....
