Nyla pressed her lips together before replying softly, "Mr. Sumner, please come in."
Damon entered, holding Mason, and glanced at Oliver, who was standing in the middle of the living room.
"Mr. Raynor, I hope I'm not interrupting," he said.
Oliver met his gaze without hesitation. "Not at all."
Their eyes locked, and although both were smiling, the atmosphere felt tense, as if the air had thickened around them.
Nyla placed the watermelon on the table and broke the silence. "Mr. Sumner, Oliver, have a seat."
Oliver looked at her warmly. "Is it okay for me to be here while you and Mr. Sumner talk? If it's not a good time, I can step out."
"It's fine. There's nothing to worry about," she replied.
As Damon listened to their conversation, bitterness swelled in his heart, and he subconsciously tightened his grip on Mason.
Mason exclaimed, "Daddy, you're holding me too tight!"
Nyla and Oliver turned to Damon, who quickly loosened his grip on Mason and said apologetically, "I'm sorry, Buddy. I got a little distracted."
Mason shook his head. "It's okay, Daddy. I'm not mad at you."
"Mm. If anything ever feels uncomfortable, just let Daddy know," Damon replied.

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....
