Trading My Ex for His Uncle (Nyla and Damon) novel Chapter 1178

Damon nodded. "Alright. I'll do everything I can to grow Prospectus Technology. I'll bring you back."

Nyla couldn't help but smile. "Good. Don't look so serious. After all, she is still my mom. She wouldn't go that far."

Damon forced a small smile. "When are you leaving?"

"In three days," Nyla answered.

"That soon?" Damon asked.

"Yes. So I want to spend these next three days with you and Buddy," Nyla replied.

Damon nodded. "I'll clear my schedule for the next three days. I'll also call Buddy's kindergarten to excuse him from class."

"Okay," Nyla replied.

Just then, there was a knock at the door, followed by Mason's voice. "Mommy? Are you in there? I finished my list!"

Nyla quickly wiped her tears and said, "I'm here, Buddy! Wait for me in the living room. I'll be right out."

She turned to Damon and said, "I'll go check on Buddy. Finish up here and join us when you're done."

Damon nodded silently, and Nyla left the study.

After a quick stop in the bathroom to wash her face and compose herself, she joined Mason in the living room. He was sitting on the couch, holding a small notebook.

As soon as he saw her, he held it out eagerly. "Mommy, here! This is my list of rewards I want!"

Nyla took the notebook and laughed softly at the 20 or so items scribbled on the pages. "Buddy, you've got quite the list here. I'll need time to think about which reward to give you.

"Go upstairs, take a bath, and get ready for bed. When you wake up tomorrow, your reward will be waiting on your nightstand."

"Mr. Sumner—" Spencer tried.

"Spencer, I don't want to repeat myself," Damon interrupted.

Hearing the edge in Damon's tone, Spencer had no choice but to agree. "Understood, sir."

"Good. Inform Mr. Keane to oversee operations for the next three days. No matter what happens, I don't want to be disturbed," Damon instructed.

This stunned Spencer. In all the years he had worked with Damon, he had never seen him set aside work for anything. Still, he managed a hesitant reply. "Mr. Sumner, is everything alright?"

Damon's tone remained cold. "Just do as I said."

After ending the call, Damon contacted Mason's kindergarten to arrange his absence. Then, lost in thought, he stared out at the night sky.
