Trading My Ex for His Uncle (Nyla and Damon) novel Chapter 897

Although Mason was usually quite independent, he was still a child. He'd probably get scared when his parents weren't home.

"Mm, I know," Damon replied.

While they were talking, the elevator reached Nyla's floor.

"I'm heading to the lab," Nyla said.

"Okay, message me when you're almost done," Damon reminded her.

"Sure." Nyla nodded, quickly stepped out of the elevator, and disappeared around the corner.

By the time she arrived at the lab, Ruby had already set up the experiment.

Nyla glanced at her notebook, jotting down a few potential issues that could complicate the experiment, and then began the process again with Ruby.

The two of them were so focused that several hours passed before they realized it was close to midnight.

Fortunately, the experiment was successful this time, and the data came out as expected, leaving them both relieved. If the experiment had failed, they would probably have had to stay up all night in the lab.

After finishing, Nyla and Ruby tidied up the lab and left. On their way to the elevator, Nyla sent Damon a message to let him know they were done.

Damon replied quickly.

Damon: [Got it. I'll wait for you on the first floor.]

Nyla: [Okay.]

She put her phone away and glanced at Ruby, who was also typing a reply.

She changed the topic. "Nyla, are you hungry? Want to grab a bite?"

Nyla shook her head. "No, I'm a bit tired. Go ahead, I'll cover it."

"If you're not going, then I won’t either. What's the point of eating alone?" Ruby replied.

The two of them entered the elevator, which quickly descended to the first floor.

As soon as they stepped out, Nyla spotted Damon's tall figure nearby. She walked up quickly, surprised. "Have you been waiting long?"

"No, I just got here," Damon answered.

Nyla turned to Ruby. "Ruby, we'll take you home. It's too late, and it’s not safe to walk alone at night."
