The study was still lit, and Damon hadn’t gone to bed yet. Surprise flashed in his eyes when he saw Nyla. “What are you doing here? How’s Valarie?”

“She’s already asleep,” Nyla answered.

Noticing that Nyla seemed to have something to say, Damon raised an eyebrow.

“Damon, thank you for what you did tonight,” Nyla said.

“Why are you being so polite? I’m your boyfriend–it’s what I should do,” Damon replied.

After a moment of hesitation, Nyla appeared to make up her mind. She slowly raised her head to meet his gaze. “It’s not just about tonight. You’ve always been good to me since we met. I owe you an apology and a thank you.”

The seriousness in her eyes made Damon press his lips together and approach her.

As he drew closer, Nyla subconsciously stepped back and asked warily, “Why are you getting up all of a sudden?”

Damon beamed. “Didn’t you want to thank me?”

“Yeah, but you-” Nyla began.

Before she could finish her sentence, Damon wrapped his arms around her waist and picked her up, carrying her to the sofa.

Being lifted off the floor made Nyla uneasy, and she quickly wrapped her arms around his neck. “Damon, what are you doing? Put me down!”

Ignoring her protests, Damon set her down on the sofa. “You said you owed me a thank you. How do you plan to repay me?”

Nyla met his deep gaze and froze, asking instinctively, “How do you want me to thank you?

Damon’s smile widened. “Nyla, how can you ask how to thank someone? Didn’t you think about how you’d show your gratitude?”

His tone was casual, but Nyla felt a twinge of guilt, sensing an underlying pressure. She hadn’t really thought about how to thank him.

Damon had everything she could give, and what he didn’t have, she couldn’t provide. Now that he mentioned it, just saying thank you felt insincere…

Upon seeing Nyla’s expression shift from frowning to pouting, Damon’s smile deepened. ” If you can’t think of anything, how about I give you a suggestion?”

Nyla looked up at him, unaware that she was walking right into his trap. “What suggestion?

“I need a wife,” Damon said.

Nyla was rendered speechless.

After a few seconds of silence, she feigned innocence. “Are you asking me to introduce someone?”

“Why would I need an introduction when I already have a ready–made option right here?” Damon countered.

Nyla felt his grip tighten around her waist and quickly pushed him away. She jumped off his lap and replied, “You can give me another suggestion then. I’m not planning to get married right now.”

“But I don’t lack anything else,” Damon retorted.

Nyla chuckled. “Well, when you suddenly realize what you’re missing, feel free to let me know. It’s getting late now, so I’m going to sleep. You should get some rest too. Goodnight.

With that, she hurriedly turned to leave, as if afraid Damon would say something else.

Damon smiled, his eyes filled with affection, as he watched her flee.

Once back in her bedroom, Nyla finally calmed down.

When Damon mentioned needing a wife, she felt a moment of excitement. They had missed out on so many years, and now that they were giving it another shot, she thought about marrying him.

However, since they had just gotten back together, it felt too fast for her to consider marriage right now.

That was why she had run away.

After some time, when their relationship stabilized, she would seriously think about marriage.
