Trading My Ex for His Uncle (Nyla and Damon) novel Chapter 1069

Hearing that, Nyla instinctively bit her lip and lingered at the door momentarily. In the end, she sighed quietly and walked away without saying anything more.

When she returned to the living room, Lydia immediately approached her. "Ms. Kinsey, how is Mr. Sumner?"

Nyla shook her head. "He's fine, don't worry. But he still doesn't want to come out to eat. Just keep the food warm for him tonight and take it to him whenever he feels like eating."

Lydia nodded quickly. "Got it. Ms. Kinsey, you should go have dinner."

"Okay," Nyla said, though she didn't have much of an appetite.

Between Prospectus Technology's bankruptcy and Mason being forcibly taken by Gabriel earlier in the day, she was utterly exhausted, both mentally and physically.

Despite that, she had to force herself to eat for Damon and Mason's sake. They both needed her to stay strong.

She sat down at the dining table, and Mason frowned slightly upon noticing it was just the two of them.

"Mommy, isn't Daddy coming to eat?" he asked.

Nyla mustered a small smile. "No, Daddy doesn't want to eat right now. Let's eat first."

Mason pouted. "Okay, then."

The meal passed in silence.

After dinner, Nyla comforted Mason for a while before saying, "Buddy, your dad's been really tired lately. Don't tell him about what happened with Wilhelm's father today, okay? I don't want him to worry about you."

Mason nodded obediently. "Okay, Mommy. I won't say anything."

Pleased with his response, Nyla kissed his cheek. "You're such a good boy, Buddy!"

"Yeah," Nyla said softly. "Prospectus Technology will be filing for bankruptcy on Monday. The project can't move forward without funding. Over the next few days, I'll be wrapping things up with Leon and arranging for him to return to Capitarnia."

There was a brief silence on the other end before Caroline spoke again. "What about you? Are you coming back to Capitarnia?"

"No," Nyla said firmly. "Caroline, I've resolved all the misunderstandings between Damon and me, and we're back together now. I'm staying here with him. Once the lab handover is done, I'll start looking for work here in Saintornia."

"Did you tell the professor about this?" Caroline asked.

"I mentioned it to him during a phone call. He agreed," Nyla replied.

"If you've already made up your mind, I doubt I can change it," Caroline said, a hint of resignation in her voice. "But I want to remind you of something. No matter what happens, don't give up your career for a man. Betting everything on love rarely ends well."

With Damon's situation now, he'd certainly appreciate Nyla's support.
