Trading My Ex for His Uncle (Nyla and Damon) novel Chapter 929

Damon pulled Nyla into his arms, his expression amused. "Thank you for the compliment."

Looking at his serious face, Nyla couldn't help but laugh.

As they walked into the living room, Mason came running toward them on his little legs. In his excitement, he stumbled just before reaching Nyla and fell forward into her arms.

She quickly caught him, helping him stand upright before gently chiding, "Buddy, slow down next time, or you'll hurt yourself."

Mason held out a piece of chocolate, his face glowing with pride. "Mommy, I got a gold star at kindergarten today. This is the chocolate my teacher gave me as a reward. I saved it for you!"

He remembered how much his mother loved sweets and wanted to share it with her.

Nyla's heart softened as she looked into his expectant eyes. She took the chocolate from his hand, noticing it had melted slightly in the wrapper after being held for so long.

"Thank you, Buddy. Why did your teacher reward you with a gold star today?" she asked.

Mason straightened his small shoulders, his face sparkling up with excitement. "During nap time, Christian kept pulling Holly's hair and made her cry, and I told the teacher.

"The teacher scolded Christian, made him apologize to Holly, and gave me a gold star. She said I did the right thing and encouraged everyone to do the same."

Nyla smiled and praised him, "That's wonderful, Buddy. Mommy is very proud of you. As a reward, I'll buy you that Lego set you've been wanting tomorrow."

Nyla had always been fair in raising Mason—rewarding good behavior without spoiling him.
