Trading My Ex for His Uncle (Nyla and Damon) novel Chapter 1198

"I don't believe you! You're lying! Are you sick?" Mason cried.

"No…" No matter how much Nyla explained, Mason refused to believe her.

Eventually, she had no choice but to call Damon over. It took both of them a long time to convince him.

Even then, Mason was still sniffling. "Mommy... are you leaving because you don't want me and Daddy anymore?"

Nyla was rendered speechless. How was she supposed to explain such a complicated situation to a five-year-old?

She could only keep it simple. "No, Mommy's just going away for work. When I finish, I'll come back. And in the meantime, we can still talk on the phone."

"Mommy... are we out of money?" Mason's little fists clenched. "I can make money too!"

He had written code for his master before, and his master had given him lots of money. If he kept working, he could earn even more.

"No, Mommy's not leaving just for money. One day, when you're older, you'll understand," Nyla replied gently.

"I don't want to understand!" Mason suddenly jumped up, his little face scrunched in anger. "I don't care! I don't want to be apart from you!"

With that, he turned and ran upstairs. Moments later, a loud slam echoed through the house.

Nyla sighed helplessly and turned to Damon. "He probably won't be able to accept this right away. When I leave, please explain it to him slowly."

As she spoke, her eyes turned red.

Damon pulled her into his arms, his voice low and comforting. "Don't be sad. One day, he'll understand."

"Mm," she hummed softly.

Just then, his phone rang.

Seeing that it was his master calling, Mason wiped his tears and sniffled. "Hello... Master..."

Hearing Mason's thick, tearful voice, Alexander immediately frowned. "Buddy, what's wrong? Did something happen?"

Mason burst into tears again at the question.

It took some time before Alexander managed to ask, "Buddy, why are you crying so hard? Did your parents scold you because you did something wrong?"

Between sobs, Mason choked out, "Master... my mom's leaving! She's going far away! I don't want her to go!"

The moment he finished speaking, there was a long silence on the other end of the line.
