Nyla was silent momentarily before saying softly, "Mr. Sumner, I need some time to think about this. I'll contact you once I've made a decision."
After hanging up, she let out a soft sigh, her expression complex.
Mason's safety was very important, but she didn't want to have any more interactions with Damon. Ever since the kidnapping incident, she had found it difficult to feel calm whenever she thought of him.
She decided the best course of action was to distance herself from him.
After pondering for a while, Nyla made up her mind.
…
In the evening, Oliver arrived just as she finished cooking.
"I could smell the ribs as soon as I stepped out of the elevator! Have you ever thought about opening a restaurant?" Oliver asked.
Nyla smiled at him, raising an eyebrow. "With a way of talking like that, I should reward you by making sure you finish all the ribs without leaving a bite."
Oliver nodded. "Deal!"
Hearing the voices, Mason ran out of his room. When he saw Oliver, he immediately dashed over to him.
Oliver caught him and lifted him, weighing him in his arms. "Buddy, it looks like you've been eating well lately. You've put on quite a bit of weight since your hospital stay."
Mason wrapped his arms around Oliver's neck and pouted. "Uncle Oliver, are you complaining that I'm getting fat?"
Oliver couldn't help but chuckle as he patted Mason's soft hair. "How could Uncle Oliver think you're fat? No matter what, you're the cutest in my eyes. Plus, a little extra weight is just a sign of a lively and healthy boy."
"Then, I'll eat more so I can grow up faster and protect Mommy," Mason declared.
Seeing Mason clench his chubby little fists, Oliver nodded. "I believe in you, Buddy."
Nyla watched the two interact, finding it amusing. "Alright, go wash your hands. Dinner will be ready soon."
With that, she turned back to the kitchen to grab plates and cutlery.
By the time she returned to the dining area, Mason and Oliver had already washed their hands and were seated at the table, eagerly waiting to eat.

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....
