Trading My Ex for His Uncle (Nyla and Damon) novel Chapter 930

Mason nodded. "Okay."

"Good. When you receive a gift, you should feel happy, not worried. Now, go wash up for dinner," Nyla encouraged with a smile.

"Okay!" Mason chirped.

…

After dinner, Damon retreated to his study to work, only returning to the bedroom late at night.

Seeing that Nyla was still awake, he frowned. "Didn't I tell you not to wait up for me? Staying up late isn't good for you."

"I wasn't waiting for you tonight. I just couldn't sleep," Nyla admitted.

"Why? Did something happen?" Damon asked.

She considered telling him about Mason but decided against it.

Shaking her head, she replied, "It's nothing, really."

Damon had been working hard lately, and she didn't want to distract him with other concerns.

Damon studied her, his expression knowing. "Nyla, your face gives you away. If you don't talk about it, you're not going to fall asleep tonight, are you?"

He smiled, despite his exhaustion. He made time for Nyla because, while work was important, so were she and Mason. He didn't want his responsibilities to make them feel neglected. That wouldn't be fair to them.

After a brief hesitation, Nyla finally spoke. "We've both been so busy lately that Buddy feels a bit left out."

Damon pressed his lips into a thin line. "I've noticed that too. I've been neglecting not just Buddy, but you as well. I've decided to set aside a day this weekend for the three of us to spend together."

Nyla felt a pang of guilt. "That's thoughtful, but taking a full day off will wear you out. I was thinking that, on evenings when you don't have meetings, you could bring your work home and spend a little time playing with Buddy instead."
