Chapter 322

Author: Hello Spring
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 o

You know books this long just repetitive. Melody replaced Valerie and I guess new characters will just keep replacing old ones with the same story line on repeat. What’s more left to happen in this story? I’m genuinely curious they’re already divorced. The story is dragging on

    When Clark finally processed what Nyla had said, he scowled."You'll regret this!" he spat before storming off.Nyla remained unfazed, calmly continuing to eat.Seeing that she showed no signs of distress, Gabriel lowered his eyes with a smile. "Looks like you're really over him."Nyla's tone was even. "He's just a scumbag. Not worth my time."Gabriel nodded, his expression serious. "Yeah, you'll find someone better."Nyla didn't reply.At this point, she felt that spending time on a relationship wasn't nearly as productive as focusing on her career.…After they finished eating, Gabriel drove Nyla back to her hotel before heading home.As soon as he walked in, he saw Wren sitting on the sofa with an angry expression.Surprised, he asked as he took off his shoes, "Mom, you're not going to the hospital tonight?""What happened at that blind date the other day? I heard you brought another woman with you," Wren questioned.Gabriel hummed in response."Who was she? Was it Nyl

    "Gabriel sees you as a sister, so of course, he wouldn't say it directly," Wren said with a sneer."But the girl he was on a date with did. She said he brought another woman along, claiming she was his girlfriend. He's just returned to the country and doesn't know many people in Saintornia. If you weren't the one he brought, who else could it be?" she demanded.Nyla looked at Wren intently. "Wren, shouldn't you consider why you're pushing him to go on dates when he's just back and hasn't even settled into his job yet?"Wren laughed coldly, her tone sharp. "Gabriel isn't like you, already married once and willing to settle for any divorced man. I have to be concerned about his future. If you have nothing to do, you should stay away from him and not ruin his relationships!"Nyla's gaze turned icy.Just as she was about to respond, the chair next to her was abruptly pulled out. She turned instinctively and saw Damon sitting down beside her.He wore a smile, but his eyes were devoid

    "I thought you were planning to never speak to me again," Damon said, gripping Nyla's chin and forcing her to look at him.Nyla slapped his hand away, her voice icy. "Mr. Sumner, there's nothing to discuss between us. What you're doing now is sexual harassment. If you don't want me to call the police, let me go right— Mmph!"Before she could finish, Damon kissed her.Nyla froze for a moment, then bit him hard, the taste of blood filling her mouth.Damon let her go, his expression darkening. "Are you part dog?"Seeing his lower lip bleeding, Nyla sneered. "If you dare lay a hand on me again, this will just be the beginning."Damon wiped the blood from his mouth and raised an eyebrow. "You just accused me of sexual harassment. I thought I should live up to the charge. Otherwise, what's the point?""Can you let me go now?" Nyla asked."I will, as long as you promise to stay away from Gabriel," Damon replied.Nyla nodded. "Fine. I'll agree as long as you keep your distance from Re

    In the evening, Nyla received a call from Valarie, inviting her out for dinner.When Nyla arrived at the restaurant, Valarie hadn't yet arrived. She had just taken a seat when a familiar figure appeared at the entrance. Her gaze landed on the woman standing beside Damon.The woman was dressed in a white strapless gown with subtle makeup and a serene smile. Her delicate features and elegant demeanor marked her as a striking beauty.Although Nyla had never met Rebecca, the way she intimately held Damon's arm revealed her identity.Nyla quickly looked away, pretending not to have noticed them.What she did not realize was that Damon's gaze had also settled on her as she averted her eyes.Rebecca sensed Damon had stopped walking and glanced up, her curiosity piqued. Noting his gaze fixed on a particular spot, she tightened her grip on his arm.Before returning to the country, Rebecca had seen photos of Nyla.The Nyla in the photos was already strikingly beautiful—so much so that ev

    Damon's gaze instantly darkened, but he remained silent. Instead, he withdrew his arm from Rebecca's grasp and pulled out the chair closest to her. "Have a seat."Afterward, he avoided looking at Rebecca and sat in the chair beside her.Rebecca's smile faltered momentarily, but she quickly regained her composure and sat next to him as if nothing had happened.Most people probably didn't notice, but Nathaniel could sense Damon's indifference toward Rebecca.Their behavior suggested that they had not reconciled, yet if they hadn't, Damon likely wouldn't have brought her along like this.Pushing aside the strange feeling in his heart, Nathaniel smiled and said, "Alright, it's Rebecca's welcome-back party tonight. I'm glad everyone could make time to come."The room buzzed with conversation, with most attention focused on Rebecca.For a moment, she felt as if she were back when she was with Damon—being the center of attention.She was well aware that if Damon hadn't come with her t

    Mockery flashed in Connor Bambra's eyes. "Why is it that you can dish it out, but you can't take it?"Erin stood up, sneering. "You think standing up for Rebecca will get you a partnership with Prospectus Technology? Idiot!"Although Connor had been thinking along those lines, being called out by Erin before everyone made his face darken with anger."I think you're just bitter because you can't get the man you want, and now you're lashing out at everyone," he taunted."You—" Erin was livid. She shot to her feet and said coldly, "You'll regret this!"With that, she spun around and stormed out of the room.Throughout the ordeal, Damon watched the scene unfold with an indifferent expression, not a hint of emotion on his face.The room quickly returned to its lively atmosphere, as if nothing had happened.Despite the apparent calm, Rebecca couldn't shake her unease.In the past, even if someone spoke ill of her behind her back, Damon would never have let it slide if he found out.

    "Even if you were the one who ended things, he wronged you first! Are you just going to take it lying down?" Valarie looked at Nyla, her expression a mix of anger and sympathy."What else can I do? He doesn't like me anymore. Am I supposed to hold a knife to his throat and force him to change his mind?" Nyla's voice was calm as if discussing something unrelated to her life.Her naivety had led her to believe Damon genuinely liked her, that he wouldn't hurt her as Clark had done.Valarie glanced down at Nyla's hands, clenched so tightly that her knuckles had turned white. With a sigh, she said, "Let me go. I'm not going to cause a scene.""Really?" Nyla asked, unsure.Valarie nodded. "Yeah."People always kicked those who were down. Even if they confronted them now, the others would laugh at Nyla's expense.Nyla released Valarie and said softly, "Don't dwell on this. I've made peace with it."Sometimes, she still felt sad when she thought about him."Okay, let's not talk about

    Nyla wasn't prepared for what happened next. Her lower back slammed against the edge of the marble sink, sending a sharp pain shooting through her body. Her face turned pale.Nathaniel quickly rushed over to support a swaying Rebecca, his expression anxious. "Rebecca, are you alright?"A bruise was already forming on Rebecca's forehead, but she managed a weak smile. "Nathaniel, I'm fine. Ms. Jayston didn't do it on purpose... Besides, I just got back, and Damon broke up with her. It's only natural for her to be angry with me..."Nathaniel's expression darkened as he glared at Nyla. "Rebecca and Damon were together before. They're just getting back together now. No matter how unhappy you are, there's nothing you can do about it. If I see you lay a hand on Rebecca again, I won't let you off easy!"Nyla had been caught off guard by Rebecca's little stunt, and her back still throbbed from when Nathaniel had shoved her into the sink.Already irritated, she couldn't help but sneer at hi

    "Alright, let's take a nap. We still have to play with Buddy later," Damon suggested.Nyla shook her head. "Before we nap, there's something I need to tell you.""What is it?" Damon asked.She pulled a small notebook from her bag, flipped it open, and handed it to him. "This is what Buddy wrote last night—all the rewards he wants."I plan to buy the remaining ones over the next two days. I'll also prepare a few extra gifts. In the future, for his birthdays or holidays, just pick something from here and give it to him for me."As soon as she finished speaking, Damon frowned. "Even after you go to Meristate, you can still send him gifts yourself. Are you planning never to come back?""No, listen to me. I just want to be prepared. If I can stay in touch with both of you after I leave, then you won't need to use these gifts. I'll choose new ones every year and send them myself. I'm just getting these ready in case something happens," Nyla explained.Damon protested, "There won't be

    Mason nodded excitedly. "Okay!"They returned to the changing area, showered, changed into fresh clothes, and took the shuttle to the restaurant.As soon as they sat down, a server approached. "Mr. and Mrs. Sumner, we have several types of cuisine ready. What would you like for lunch?"Damon looked at Nyla. "Nyla, you decide."Nyla glanced at Mason and noticed his eyes fixed on the roasted chicken leg. She couldn't help but smile. "I'd like a steak, but I think Buddy wants the chicken leg."Following her gaze, Damon saw that Mason's eyes were practically glued to the golden-brown roasted chicken leg. He chuckled. "Alright, we'll have the steak, and Buddy can have the chicken leg.""Understood. How would you like your steak cooked? Any dietary restrictions?" the server asked.Nyla shook her head. "Medium-well, and no restrictions."Damon replied, "Medium-rare.""Got it. And for Mr. Mason, besides the chicken leg, would he like anything else?" the server asked."No, that's all

    After changing their clothes, Damon led them to a shallower spring more suitable for Mason. He stepped in first to test the temperature, then carefully lowered Mason into the water.As soon as Mason felt the warmth, he beamed. "It's so cozy!"Damon chuckled and let go once he was sure Mason was steady. The shallow depth was perfect for Mason, as the water reached his neck when seated.For Damon and Nyla, however, it was a bit too shallow.After Mason adjusted to the spring, Damon turned to Nyla. "Should we move to one of the deeper springs? This one feels a little chilly."Nyla hesitated, glancing at Mason as he splashed around. "But I'd feel uneasy leaving Buddy here alone.""I'll call for some staff to keep an eye on him. He'll be fine," Damon said.After a moment of thought, Nyla nodded. "Alright."Once the staff arrived to supervise Mason, Damon led Nyla to a nearby, deeper spring.As she sank into the warm water, which reached up to her shoulders, she sighed in satisfacti

    Drake stormed off, his anger radiating with each step.Reaching his car, he kicked the door hard in frustration. The action brought little relief, so he pulled out his phone and dialed a number."Put a hold on the collaboration between MK and the Kinsey Group. Don't move forward until I return," he commanded.Whatever the person on the other end said only fueled his fury."Do as I say! I'll take full responsibility for any consequences!" he growled before abruptly ending the call.Breathing deeply to suppress his rage, Drake yanked open the car door and sped away.…Two hours later, Damon pulled up to a luxury hot springs resort.Nyla's face lit up with delight as she turned to him. "I've always wanted to visit this place, but you've been so busy with work that I never mentioned it."Damon smiled. "Spencer recommended it. I might have to give him a raise when we get back."In the back seat, Mason's curiosity was piqued—he'd never been to a resort before.As the family exited

    "Enough with the overthinking!" Lydia chided. "Take this time to relax. Once they're back, you'll probably be driving late nights again.""Fair enough," Walter remarked.…In the car, Damon glanced at Nyla. "The place we're going is a bit far. You and Buddy should rest. I'll wake you when we get there."She nodded. "Okay."Leaning back, she closed her eyes but couldn't fall asleep. Thoughts of leaving Damon and Mason in just three days weighed heavily on her.After a while, she opened her eyes, gazing at Damon with a mixture of longing and reluctance.Sensing her stare, Damon turned to her briefly. "What's wrong? Can't sleep?""Yeah," she admitted softly. "I just wanted to look at you. Don't mind me."Damon smiled. "Nyla, do you really think I can drive normally with you staring at me like that?"His teasing tone made her roll her eyes. "Buddy's here. Be serious!"From the back seat, Mason piped up, "Mommy, I covered my eyes! Pretend I'm not here. I can't see or hear anythin

    Nyla and Damon exchanged a glance and couldn't help but laugh."Let's go upstairs and pack too," Damon suggested. "Otherwise, Buddy will be all done and rushing us."Nyla nodded. "Alright."The two headed to their bedroom, each packing clothes for the next few days.Since Nyla needed to gather her skincare products and makeup, Damon finished first. He walked over, intending to help, but she waved him off."Just stay put," she said. "If you touch this, you'll mess up everything I've just organized. Besides, you don't even know what's what."Damon chuckled, leaning against the dresser. "Fine. I'll just watch you."He didn't argue—makeup wasn't his forte. To him, all the lipsticks looked the same, though Nyla insisted there were big differences.It took another ten minutes before she finally zipped up her bag.Damon grabbed their suitcases and carried them downstairs, where Mason was already waiting.Upon seeing them, Mason's eyes lit up. "Mommy, Daddy! Are we leaving now? Where

    Harrison's response was immediate. "I'm not going. I've lived in Saintornia all my life, and I'm used to it here. Besides, with my health as it is, I don't have many years left anyway. I'd rather not move around."Nyla's heart sank. "Dad, you'll live a long and healthy life."Harrison gave a faint smile. "At my age, with my body the way it is, every day is a gift. The only thing I can't stop worrying about is you. Otherwise, whether I live or die wouldn't matter to me.""Please take care of yourself," she implored."I will. Since your mother is willing to entrust the company she's built over the years to you, make sure you work hard and don't let her down," he advised.In Harrison's mind, Emerald was still the gentle and kind woman he'd known years ago. He had no reason to doubt what Nyla told him."I will," Nyla replied.After sitting with him a while longer and discussing a few things, she finally took her leave.When she returned to the car, her eyes were red, and tears shim

    Nyla bit her lip, forcing a lighthearted tone. "I was just talking casually. Don't take it seriously. Besides, you're not the type to believe in these things anyway, right?""But when it comes to you, I can't afford not to believe," Damon replied."I promise I'll make sure to come back safely. Besides, no matter what, she's still my mother. She wouldn't truly harm me," Nyla reasoned."Alright," Damon answered.The two hugged quietly for a while before Damon finally loosened his grip on Nyla. Still, his gaze remained fixed on her, unwavering.Feeling his intense stare, Nyla shifted uncomfortably. "Why are you staring at me like that?""I just want to take a good look at you," he said.Nyla pressed her lips together before leaning up to plant a kiss on his lips. "I'm tired. Let's sleep.""Alright." Damon turned off the light, plunging the bedroom into darkness. The only illumination came from the soft moonlight streaming through the cracks in the curtains.Snuggling into Damon's

    Understanding Nyla's concerns, Damon reassured her, "Don't worry. I won't do anything."They had only three days left together. He wished time would slow down so he could savor every moment with her. He had no intention of wasting even a second.Nyla shot him a skeptical look. "Really?""Really. I swear," he replied with a serious expression.Reluctantly, she nodded. "Alright, but you have to keep your word.""Of course," Damon promised.Once upstairs, he handed her a towel. "You go ahead and shower first.""Okay," Nyla replied.As the sound of running water filled the room, Damon walked to the window, pulled out his phone, and made a call."Prepare for departure to Meristate tomorrow. The mission is to protect someone indefinitely," he instructed.The voice on the other end said something, and Damon replied, "It's my wife, Nyla Kinsey."After ending the call, Damon slipped his phone into his pocket and gazed at the night sky, his expression hardening. He vowed their separat
