Nyla felt a pang of guilt flash in her eyes. "It's nothing. Just some clothes I bought with Valarie while shopping."
Why would clothes need hiding?
Seeing that Damon wasn't convinced, she quickly added, "Really, it's just clothes."
Damon couldn't help but chuckle. "Nyla, do you know the saying, 'the more you try to hide, the more obvious it becomes'?"
The more she tried to explain, the more suspicious it sounded.
Nyla bit her lip, subconsciously clenching her fingers around the bag. She regretted accepting the clothes from Valarie earlier.
Now, the awkwardness was overwhelming, and she wished she could disappear into the floor.
Under Damon's half-smiling gaze, her initial embarrassment slowly turned into irritation. She snapped, "Why do you need to know so much? Some things are just hard for a woman to explain to you."
Damon froze, momentarily surprised by her snap. Then, he couldn't help but laugh. "Okay, my bad."
Even though he admitted his fault, Nyla only felt more frustrated.
"I'm going upstairs... You can keep working," she said calmly, making a show of walking past Damon to leave the room.
Once upstairs, she hurried into her bedroom and locked the door behind her. After sitting there for a while, she finally calmed down.
Looking down at the bag in her hand, she felt conflicted.
Should she throw it away? It was really expensive, though. She didn't want to waste it.
However, if she kept it and Damon found out, she might as well have asked for a hole to fall into.
After some thought, she still didn't know what to do with it. She shoved the clothes deep in her closet, planning to deal with it later when Damon wasn't home.
With that settled, Nyla finally relaxed.

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....
