"Okay," Nyla answered.
After seeing Oliver off, she bathed Mason and put him to bed.
Hesitating for a moment, she texted Damon to ask if he was free the next night, as she planned to drop Mason off.
Damon responded quickly.
Damon: [I'm free. What's up?]
Nyla: [I'm going to an auction tomorrow night, and I might be back late. Buddy should be asleep by then, and I don't want him to be scared if he's alone at home.]
Damon was typing for several minutes before his reply came through.
Damon: [Okay. I have to attend the same auction, but Lydia can put Buddy to bed.]
Nyla hadn't expected him to be going too, but Lydia was a better choice than the new nanny.
Nyla: [Alright.]
Damon didn't reply after that, so Nyla put her phone away and went to shower and sleep.
…
After exiting the texting app, Damon called Spencer from his study. His voice was cold as he instructed, "Get me a ticket for tomorrow night's auction."
Spencer sounded surprised. "But Mr. Sumner, you said you weren't interested in that auction."
Damon didn't respond and hung up abruptly.
Holding his phone, Spencer sighed, thinking it was impossible to understand what went on in a man's heart.
…
The next evening arrived quickly.
Nyla dropped Mason off at Damon's villa and reminded Oliver not to pick her up, as she would drive there herself.
When Damon saw her about to leave, he asked casually, "Did you drive?"
She nodded. "Yeah, why?"

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....
