Valarie didn't wait for Nyla to respond and rushed out as if something were chasing her.
With Valarie's departure, the living room fell into silence.
Nyla lowered her gaze for a moment, hesitating before finally looking up at Damon.
To her surprise, he was also looking at her. Their eyes met, but neither spoke.
Eventually, it was Nyla who broke the silence.
"Mr. Sumner, I'm really sorry about what happened before. I'll compensate for the losses caused to Prospectus Technology. I have only one request—please don't hide Buddy from me," Nyla pleaded.
"I promise I won't. I also won't use Buddy to threaten you anymore. If you don't want to live here, you can take him and move out. But you can't go back to Capitarnia right now," Damon replied.
If Nyla took Mason back to Capitarnia, he couldn't guarantee that Richard wouldn't try to kidnap Mason again. Keeping them in Saintornia was the only way he could protect them.
Nyla was taken aback, staring at Damon in disbelief.
Did she hear him wrong? Damon actually agreed to her request and even suggested she move out with Mason? How could he suddenly be so agreeable?
"Mr. Sumner… are you serious?" she asked.
Seeing the doubt in Nyla's eyes, Damon replied earnestly, "Yes, it's true. I was wrong before. I didn't protect you and Buddy properly. I won't force you to do anything anymore, but you can't stop me from seeing Buddy."
After talking to Spencer earlier and gaining a clearer understanding of his past with Nyla, Damon realized how outrageous his previous behavior had been. He thought he was justified in believing that Nyla had secretly given birth to his child. Yet, if he hadn't pursued her back then, she wouldn't have fallen into the sea while pregnant and wouldn't have had to give birth alone.
He had no right to blame her or take Mason away from her.
Several seconds passed as Nyla processed what Damon had just said.

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....
