Trading My Ex for His Uncle (Nyla)
Chapter 399

Nathaniel had expected that, after last night, Rebecca would want to be with him. He was shocked to realize she had never even considered breaking up with Damon.

"What do you mean? If you're not planning to break up, then what was last night all about?!" he demanded.

"Last night was just an accident. Let's pretend it never happened. Besides, Damon is your good friend. If he replaces out that you slept with his girlfriend, it will damage your friendship," Rebecca said.

"Pretend nothing happened? Do you think that's possible?" Nathaniel questioned.

He angrily grabbed Rebecca's hand and said emphatically, "Damon doesn't have any feelings for you anymore. When are you going to realize that?"

Rebecca slapped him, her eyes blazing with anger. "This is between me and him. It's none of your business!"

Nathaniel, furious, managed a bitter smile. "Fine! So be it!"

He quickly gathered his clothes from the floor, dressed, and stormed out, slamming the door behind him with a loud bang.

Once he was gone, Rebecca finally relaxed. As long as Nathaniel didn't confront Damon, Damon would never replace out what had happened. Now, her goal was to remove Nyla from the picture and make Damon fall in love with her again.

...

At 3:00 p.m., Rebecca arrived punctually at the private room.

Damon looked at her calmly. "Have a seat."

Upon noticing Damon's cold demeanor, Rebecca's heart skipped a beat.

He shouldn't know about last night, right? No, given Damon's personality, he wouldn't have called her here if he knew.

Moreover, he had presented the jewelry to Nyla in front of her last night. He should be feeling guilty-not her!

With this thought, Rebecca's nervousness gradually subsided.

She sat down across from Damon, deliberately adopting a cool expression. "Did you ask me here to apologize for last night?"

If Damon were apologizing, she wouldn't let him off easily.

"If you want to put it that way, yes," Damon said.

Rebecca scoffed. "You embarrassed me so much last night, and now you think a simple apology will make me forgive you?" Damon looked at her. The charm that once drew him to her now left him unmoved.

"I'm sorry for causing you such embarrassment last night. I asked you out today to discuss something else as well," Damon said. "What is it?" Rebecca asked.

"Let's break up. I hope to repay your life-saving grace in another way," Damon proposed.

Rebecca was stunned for several seconds before she fully grasped Damon's meaning.

Anger flared in her eyes as she gritted her teeth. "You humiliated me last night, and now you're proposing a breakup? Damon, what exactly do you think I am to you?"

"Three months is too long. I don't want to let Nyla continue to be misunderstood, and I don't want to hurt her anymore," Damon stated. Nyla! Again with Nyla! Why couldn't she just disappear?

If it weren't for her, Damon wouldn't have moved on, and Rebecca wouldn't have had to resort to manipulating him to return to her.

"You don't want to hurt her, so you

come to hurt me instead? I have less than three months to live, Damon. Don't you think you're being too cruel? You and Nyla have a lifetime

ahead of you," Rebecca em to

Damon looked at her. Even as he saw her tears, his eyes remained cold and indifferent. He replied, "Rebecca, I no longer love you? Keeping me around for three more months serves no purpose
