Trading My Ex for His Uncle (Nyla and Damon) novel Chapter 1221

If they couldn't find Nyla by 6:00 p.m., the banquet would have to be canceled, and Emerald would become a laughingstock.

At another estate on the west side of the city…

Nyla was having lunch in the garden with an elderly man who appeared to be around 70, his graying hair neatly combed.

"Ms. Kinsey, try this truffle omelet. It's the chef's specialty," the old man said.

Nyla smiled and nodded. "Thank you."

After breakfast, they took a walk through the garden.

"Ms. Kinsey, how does my estate compare to your mother's?" the old man asked.

Nyla glanced around, then smiled. "Each has its own charm. Both are beautiful."

"And which one do you prefer?" he pressed.

Nyla thought for a moment before meeting his gaze. "Do you want the truth or a polite answer?"

"The truth, of course," he replied.

She answered honestly, "I prefer Ms. Kinsey's estate because it has my favorite Damask roses."

"Just because of that?" he asked, amused.

"Yes," Nyla said simply.

The old man chuckled. "Alright. When I take over the Nixons, I'll give you that estate as a token of gratitude for helping me."

Nyla smiled. "You're not lying to me, are you?"

"Of course not. I always keep my word," he assured her.

"Well then, I wish you success in advance," she said.

"As long as you help me, I will definitely take the Nixons," he declared confidently.

After a short stroll, the old man retired to rest while Nyla, under his secretary's arrangements, began preparing for what was to come.
