Trading My Ex for His Uncle (Nyla and Damon) novel Chapter 353

Caroline paused before smiling. "Alright. I'll be waiting for you in Capitarnia."

"Sure," Nyla promised.

After Caroline entered the hotel, Nyla drove off.

Halfway home, her phone suddenly rang.

Seeing that it was an unknown number, she decided not to answer. The caller didn't try again but sent a text message instead.

It wasn't until Nyla parked downstairs that she checked the message.

[Ms. Jayston, my father was one of the victims of the Harris Pharmaceuticals incident six years ago. I saw in the news that you found evidence and sent Cyrus Sumner to the police. I also have some evidence and would like to give it to you. Please contact me if you see this message.]

After reading the text, Nyla tightened her grip on her phone but didn't rush to reply.

Cyrus had been in custody for a while, and this person was just now reaching out. It seemed a bit suspicious.

After a moment of consideration, she decided to ignore it for the time being.

If the other party was genuinely desperate, they would reach out again. No matter their intention, it was better to be cautious.

For the rest of the weekend, Nyla stayed at home studying.

Gabriel sent her several messages inviting her to join him for a meal. Initially, she responded, but eventually, she began to ignore them.

…

On Monday morning, just as Nyla was leaving her apartment, she found Gabriel waiting by the elevator.

She greeted him coolly and was about to leave when he stepped before her. "Nyla, am I bothering you?"

Understanding he was referring to her lack of response to his messages, she nodded. "A little."

Gabriel looked momentarily taken aback, then his eyes softened with a hint of indulgence and helplessness. "I understand. I won't bother you again."
