Nyla's eyes instantly welled up with tears as she pulled Mason tightly into her embrace. Her voice trembled as she said, "Buddy, I'm happy as long as I have you."
Mason reached out his little hand and gently patted Nyla's back, speaking in a mature tone. "Mommy, I'll be good. We'll be fine in our new place."
Releasing Mason, Nyla wiped away her tears and smiled. "Okay, let's go to the new place together and start a new life."
Mason nodded vigorously, his expression filled with determination.
They didn't have much to pack, finishing in just a morning.
During lunch, Nyla shared their plans to leave with Lydia.
Lydia froze, nearly spilling the soup she held. She quickly set it down, her face filled with disbelief.
"Ms. Kinsey, why are you leaving so suddenly? Did Mr. Sumner not let you stay anymore?" she asked.
Looking into Lydia's concerned eyes, Nyla felt a warm wave wash over her. Lydia had been so kind since her first day here. Now, as she prepared to leave, she felt reluctant to say goodbye.
"Lydia, it's not like that. Buddy and I are moving out, and Mr. Sumner agreed to it," Nyla explained.
Lydia was taken aback. "How could that be…"
"It's true. He told me before he left for a business trip yesterday. I'm really grateful for your kindness, and I'll definitely come back to visit whenever I can," Nyla promised.
Lydia's eyes reddened at these words. Nyla's promise to visit likely meant she wouldn't return after leaving. She could tell Nyla wanted no further contact with Damon.
Wiping her eyes, Lydia said, "There's another dish in the kitchen. I'll go get it."
Nyla felt a pang of sorrow at Lydia's sadness, but she knew she couldn't stay here forever. Leaving was only a matter of time.

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....
