Trading My Ex for His Uncle (Nyla and Damon) novel Chapter 1151

"I encountered Buddy for the first time when he was three years old. Back then, I had no idea about my connection to you or that Buddy was your son." Alexander's tone was serious, his gaze unwavering.

Nyla nodded thoughtfully. "Really? Buddy is that talented with computers? He's never shown any of that in front of me."

"Yes, he's incredibly gifted—one of the most talented I've ever seen. That's why I took him on as my apprentice. Later, when I discovered our connection and learned he was your son, I liked him even more," Alexander explained.

Nyla noticed the warmth in his eyes and felt a pang of something she couldn't quite place. Her gaze flickered. "It seems you understand Buddy better than I do."

"I suppose I do, at least in some ways. Back then, Buddy told me you were always busy with work and rarely had time for him. We used to talk almost every night," Alexander recounted.

Nyla sat silently, listening as he shared his memories. Her hands clenched slowly on her lap.

So much had happened between Mason and Alexander without her knowing. It was no wonder Mason had been reluctant to tell her anything about Alexander, no matter how much she prodded. Their bond was deeper than she had imagined.

Now, she needed to reconsider how to gradually distance Mason from Alexander.

After about half an hour, Alexander finished speaking and leaned forward slightly.

"Nyla, I can promise you this—if you agree to take Buddy to Meristate, his future will be limitless. I'll personally guide him every step of the way," he promised.

Nyla frowned, her displeasure clear. "Mr. Kinsey, we're just starting to reconnect. I haven't made any decisions about something like that yet."

Alexander chuckled lightly. "You're right. I was being too impatient. My apologies."

"When your sister was five, Edward had an affair and even fathered a child with the other woman. Now, Edward is gravely ill, and he wants to pass the Nixon businesses to his illegitimate son.

"Your mother opposes this because she's the one who built the Nixons to what it is today. But within the family, there are many loyal to Edward who support his illegitimate son's claim."

Nyla smirked, her expression tinged with irony. "So, that's why she wants me back?"

Alexander's brow furrowed almost imperceptibly at her tone. "Yes. She hopes you can inherit the Nixons. Your siblings are too naïve to handle the responsibilities of running the businesses."

"So, she thinks she can ignore my feelings, send you here to disrupt my peaceful life, and force me to leave Damon?" Nyla's voice was sharp.
