Trading My Ex for His Uncle (Nyla and Damon) novel Chapter 1079

Nyla reached out and hugged Damon. "I'm not going to leave you. Whether you're the CEO of Prospectus Technology or just an ordinary person, you're still the one I love. I love you—not the company behind you."

"Nyla, I'm sorry. I've been too sensitive lately," Damon said, his voice heavy with remorse.

"It's not your fault. It's normal to have moments of self-doubt when facing such a major setback. You just need to remember one thing: I'm never going to leave you. That's all that matters," she replied softly.

Damon didn't say anything more. Instead, he tightened his embrace around Nyla.

Suddenly, the sound of small footsteps echoed through the quiet room.

They both turned toward the staircase and saw Mason coming downstairs in his pajamas.

Damon released Nyla and faced the boy. "Buddy, why aren't you asleep yet?"

Without answering, Mason ran up to them, clutching a card in his small hands. He held it out to Damon. "Daddy, I heard your company is in trouble because there's no money. This is the money I've saved over the years."

Seeing the card in Mason's hand, Damon felt a lump rise in his throat.

"Buddy, you should keep this for yourself. Don't worry about the company. Daddy will figure it out," he said gently.

Mason, determined, placed the card firmly in Damon's hand. "Daddy, you can use this first. You can pay me back after you make the money back."

Damon's eyes grew misty as he looked at Mason's earnest expression. He knew the amount in Mason's account likely wasn't much—nowhere near enough to pay his employees' wages—but it was everything his son had.

Damon accepted the card with a solemn nod. "Thank you, Buddy. I'll make sure to use this money wisely."

"Okay," Mason said with a bright smile.

Satisfied that his father had accepted the card, Mason wished them goodnight and headed back upstairs.

Once Mason's small figure disappeared at the top of the staircase, Damon turned to Nyla. "You set up this card for him, right? It's where his gift money and allowances go?"

Nyla nodded. "Yes. It's probably accumulated a few thousand over the years."

For a child Mason's age, it was a small fortune.
