Trading My Ex for His Uncle (Nyla and Damon) novel Chapter 921

Before Lydia could finish, Damon interrupted, "Lydia, these sandwiches are really good. Grab two more for me from the kitchen, please."

Lydia's attention was successfully diverted. She replied, "Sure, I'll get them right away."

Once she left, Nyla quickly walked over and sat across from Damon.

"If you're really not feeling well, don't push yourself," Damon said.

Nyla nodded. "I know."

After breakfast, the two headed to work.

Throughout the morning, Nyla tried to minimize her movements, staying seated as much as possible. Thankfully, it wasn't too exhausting.

Close to lunchtime, she received an unexpected call from Gabriel.

"Nyla, do you have time for lunch? I have something I'd like to discuss with you," Gabriel invited.

Nyla's tone turned cold. "What is it? Just say it over the phone. There's no need for us to meet."

A brief silence followed on the other end before Gabriel spoke again, his voice slightly somber. "Do you really dislike me this much?"

"I don't have time to entertain pointless questions. If that's all, I'll hang up now. I'm busy," Nyla replied.

For Gabriel, she could barely muster the energy to treat him like a stranger. She had no interest in further interaction.

"I wanted to talk about my mom and your father," Gabriel stated.

Hearing this, Nyla's brows furrowed tightly. "They've already divorced. There's nothing left to discuss. Tell Ms. Hackett this for me—if verbal warnings don't work, I'll be forced to take legal action."

With that, she ended the call, her mood sour for the rest of the day.

…

Gabriel set his phone down, his expression darkening.

"We're husband and wife. Helping you is my responsibility. I don't need a reward," Gabriel answered.

Before Jane could respond, her phone buzzed.

Seeing that it was Shane calling, she quickly answered.

After a brief exchange, her face lit up again as she replied, "Alright, Mr. Tonra, I'll head over right now!"

Hanging up, she turned to Gabriel and said, "Mr. Tonra wants me to sign the contract right away. Afterward, let's celebrate tonight!"

"Sure," Gabriel replied.

After Jane left, Gabriel's phone rang again. This time, it was Shane.

"Mr. Hackett, should we start pulling the net now?" Shane asked.

"No rush. I need more time to gather the necessary information. Wait for my signal," Gabriel answered.
