Nyla was about to speak when Damon held a takeout box in front of her.
"Here, eat on the way," he said.
She paused for a moment, then took the breakfast. "Thank you."
She hadn't expected him to be so considerate.
Damon didn't say anything else. Instead, he opened a file and began reading.
After a while, he glanced at her and noticed she hadn't eaten. With a frown, he asked, "Why aren't you eating?"
"I'm not that hungry right now. I'll eat when we get to the office," Nyla replied.
"Mm," he hummed and lowered his head to continue reading, but his phone rang.
"Mr. Sumner, there's news from the police. After reviewing the surveillance footage, they confirmed that Mr. Jayston accidentally fell down the stairs, so there shouldn't be any way to sue Wren," Spencer informed him.
Damon's gaze darkened. He murmured, "Alright, I understand."
He hung up and turned to Nyla, about to speak, but she beat him to it. "I heard everything."
Concerned she'd be upset, Damon spoke softly to reassure her. "Don't worry. I'll have someone keep watch outside your father's hospital room, so Wren won't be able to get near him."
Nyla pressed her lips together before saying, "Even if she can't be punished legally, I still want her to apologize to my father in person."
"I'll contact Gabriel about that. You don't need to worry, and don't have any more contact with him," Damon reminded her.
He had only traced the flowers sent to Nyla back to a security guard, but he was sure it was connected to Gabriel. Although he hadn't uncovered much else, he suspected Gabriel had support from other forces.
Damon's expression grew colder as he considered it.
Nyla nodded. "Alright, thank you."
Damon pulled her into his arms. "Then, how about a reward tonight?"
As soon as he said that, Nyla pushed him away and glared at him. "I'm being serious here."
"I'm serious too," Damon quipped.

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....
