Oliver stopped and looked at Nyla, his gaze a little dimmed.
After a few seconds, he sighed. "Nyla, I shouldn't have gotten angry with you... I'm sorry."
He had been upset about her arriving with Damon, but most of his anger had melted away the moment she held his hand.
Nyla gazed at him and said softly, "It was my fault. You have every right to be upset. I didn't consider your feelings."
Since she had agreed to be with Oliver, she knew she should keep her distance from other men, especially since she and Damon shared a past. It was only natural for Oliver to feel uneasy about their interactions.
Oliver's gaze softened. "It's just a small matter. Let's move on. Shall we head inside?"
"Okay," Nyla replied.
As they entered the auction venue, Nyla finally felt the intense gaze on her back fade away.
Valarie, who was also attending the auction, saw Nyla and immediately approached her with a smile. "Nyla, you're here too!"
Nyla was pleasantly surprised to see her. "Yes, it's been so long since we last met."
Valarie pulled Nyla aside and playfully glanced at Oliver. "Mr. Raynor, I'm going to borrow Nyla for a while. You don't mind, do you?"
Oliver chuckled. "I wouldn't dare."
After finding out Nyla was alive, Valarie had confronted Oliver and given him a piece of her mind. He had apologized multiple times before she finally forgave him.
"Good to hear." With that, Valarie led Nyla away.
While watching them walk off, the smile on Oliver's face deepened. He thought Nyla must be happy to be back in Saintornia and reconnecting with Valarie.
A few people nearby recognized him and came over to chat, so he soon engaged in conversation with his business associates.

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....
