Trading My Ex for His Uncle (Nyla and Damon) novel Chapter 1064

"For how long?" Nyla asked.

Seeing the worry in her eyes, Damon stroked her head, answering in a slightly hoarse voice, "Don't worry. With you and Buddy here, I won't do anything foolish. I promise."

Nyla bit her lip, her concern evident.

"I promise," Damon said again, his tone firm. "If I left you and Buddy behind, I'd be the most selfish person alive. Trust me, okay?"

Looking into his serious gaze, Nyla hesitated before finally nodding. "Alright. I'll be in the living room. If you get hungry, just let me know."

"Okay. But don't wait up for me. I might sleep in the study tonight. Get some rest," Damon replied.

"Alright," Nyla conceded.

Damon turned and walked toward the study, his steps heavy.

Nyla's worry deepened as she watched his retreating figure. She was genuinely afraid that he might not be able to cope.

For now, all she could do was trust him. Prospectus Technology's abrupt collapse was something he needed time to process and accept.

After Damon disappeared around the corner, Lydia hurried over anxiously. "Ms. Kinsey, is it true? Has Mr. Sumner's company gone bankrupt?"

Nyla looked at Lydia and nodded. "Yes."

"How could that happen?" Lydia asked, disbelief written all over her face.

Such a large company—how could it go bankrupt so suddenly?

Before Nyla could respond, her phone rang. Seeing that it was Mason's kindergarten teacher, she quickly answered.

"Ms. Kinsey, Mr. Hackett just picked up Wilhelm, and he took Mason with him. I couldn't stop him…" the teacher informed.

Nyla's expression changed. "I understand. Thank you."

Nyla glowered at it. She pressed the gas pedal, and her car sped off into the night.

…

Half an hour later, Nyla pulled up outside Gabriel's house. She got out, her face cold as she rang the doorbell.

The door opened quickly and a maid greeted, "Ms. Kinsey, Mr. Hackett has been expecting you. Please come in."

Ignoring the polite invitation, Nyla strode inside and headed straight for the living room. She found Gabriel alone, lounging on the sofa.

"Gabriel, where's Buddy?" she demanded.

Gabriel's gaze softened upon seeing her. "He's upstairs playing with Wil. He's perfectly safe. Don't worry. This is your first time here—let me show you around…"

Nyla didn't even glance at him. She turned and rushed upstairs.
