"No, thanks. I like playing by myself," Mason replied, recalling how he had always lost to Damon in their previous games.
He had no desire to play building blocks with him again.
Damon wasn't offended by his son's rejection. Smiling, he raised an eyebrow and asked, "Are you afraid of losing to me?"
Mason shot him a glance but didn't respond—his expression clearly said, "Do you really need to ask?"
"Buddy, as a boy, you should face challenges bravely and keep trying until you finally beat me," Damon coaxed.
Mason didn't even look up as he stacked another block. "Daddy, there's a saying about knowing when to back off. I play with building blocks for fun. If I keep losing to you in every game, it just makes me unhappy and defeats the purpose of playing."
Damon was momentarily taken aback by Mason's words, feeling uncharacteristically speechless.
After a few seconds, he finally spoke up. "Buddy, I want to know what happened at school today. Can you tell me about it?"
"I already told Mommy. You should ask her," Mason replied, not wanting to repeat himself.
Damon was rendered speechless.
Watching Damon get shot down, Nyla stifled a laugh from the side.
On their way back, she had shared what Mason had said with Damon, who had hoped to have a chat with their son but ended up getting rejected instead.
Seeing the corners of Nyla's mouth turn up in a slight smile, Damon raised an eyebrow and said, "Nyla, come with me to the study."
Surprised, Nyla looked up and met Damon's intense gaze, instinctively curling her fingers.
"What's going on? Is there something you need?" she asked.
"Yeah, it's something important about Buddy," he replied.

The readers' comments on the novel: Trading My Ex for His Uncle (Nyla)
More chapters please why stop updating...
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....
