Trading My Ex for His Uncle (Nyla and Damon) novel Chapter 1170

"If you force her, she'll resist even more. And don't forget, she has unresolved feelings about the past," Alexander reminded her.

Emerald's face darkened. "What does she have to resent? If it weren't for what happened back then, she wouldn't even exist. She should be grateful I brought her into this world!"

Alexander frowned. "If you want her to follow you to Meristate, you'll need to tone it down. She's not like Brian and Delia, who grew up with you."

"Fine. I'll meet her tomorrow and see," Emerald replied.

After divorcing Harrison and moving abroad, Emerald had initially thought about Nyla often. But over time, as her business grew and she had Brian and Delia, her thoughts of her eldest daughter faded.

Now, she only cared about Nyla because the Nixons needed her as a successor. Otherwise, she might never have thought about her again.

Emerald knew she had wronged Nyla, but she had gone through so much over the years. Besides, she had a son and a daughter who listened. She no longer had any affection or feelings toward Nyla.

To her, Nyla was nothing more than a mistake from her youth.

Staring out at the night sky, Emerald murmured, "I never thought I'd be back here."

Alexander said nothing.

When they arrived at the hotel, Alexander finally spoke. "Aunt Emerald, I'm warning you—Nyla's attitude toward you is... complicated. Tomorrow's meeting might not go well. Be prepared."

Emerald waved dismissively. "I know. Just make sure to pick me up tomorrow. I'm busy, so keep it close to the hotel."

With that, she strode into the hotel without a second glance.

Watching her go, Alexander sighed and drove away.
