Trading My Ex for His Uncle (Nyla)
Chapter 322

Damon's gaze hardened. "Nyla, I know I have no right to ask anything of you right now. In three months, I'll tell you everything."

"There's no need. I'm not interested. I just hope you'll stop looking for me," Nyla said, then walked past him and left.

In the following days, Damon did not come looking for Nyla again, but gossip about him and Rebecca spread like wildfire throughout the company.

At first, Melody would get upset, but seeing that Nyla genuinely didn't care, she stopped bringing it up in front of her.

Nyla's life gradually returned to normal. Besides going to work, she spent her time having real estate agents show her apartments. Staying in a hotel long-term wasn't convenient.

...

After work on Friday, Nyla was about to leave when Gabriel stopped her.

"Nyla, have you been looking for a place recently?" he asked.

It wasn't surprising that Gabriel knew. Nyla often browsed through listings from real estate agents during lunch breaks and used apps to search for places on her phone. "Yeah, what about it?" she asked.

"I've been looking for a place too. Why don't we look together? If we live close by, we can look out for each other," Gabriel suggested.

Nyla frowned, about to refuse, but Gabriel continued. "I visited your dad last night. He and my mom don't want to move abroad. They'd rather stay here where we can look after them. Moving to a foreign country where they don't know anyone would be too inconvenient.

"My mom's lease is almost up, so I'm planning to rent a bigger place and have her move in with me. Then, when your dad is feeling better, he could come and stay with us for a while too.

"But if you don't want to live too close, we can replace separate places. Don't worry about your dad-I'll take care of him."

Nyla pressed her lips together. "Okay, let's look together then."

Gabriel smiled. "Alright."

He knew well that Nyla wouldn't have agreed to look for a place together if he hadn't mentioned the last part.

...

Over the next two days, they continued viewing apartments.

By Sunday afternoon, they finally settled on a more upscale complex near Prospectus Technology. They rented apartments in the same building, though not on the same floor.

After signing the lease, Gabriel suggested they grab dinner together, and they chose a nearby restaurant. Midway through their meal, they ran into Clark, who had just finished a business meeting with a client.

When Clark saw Nyla, his eyes glinted with a cold edge. After bidding farewell to his client with a smile, he turned and approached their table.

"Nyla, I heard Uncle Damon dumped you?" he asked.

Annoyance flashed in Nyla's eyes. She said nothing, clearly uninterested in engaging with him.

Clark's smile faltered, his hands clenching at his sides. How dare she ignore him, especially after Damon had discarded her?!

Taking a deep breath, Clark looked.

Sworn.

Nyla hadn't wanted to engage with him, but having a pesky fly buzzing around while she ate was irritating.

She looked at Clark and said, "Could you do me a favor and buzz off? You're ruining my appetite."

Clark's face darkened instantly.

After a few moments, he sneered. "Fine. I came over to offer comfort, but it seems you don't appreciate the gesture."

Nyla smiled and remarked, "The best thing you can do is stay away from me. That would be more than enough kindness." Clark was momentarily stunned by her smile, caught off guard.
