Chapter 515
Trading My Ex for His Uncle
If it werenât for Caroline, Nyla wouldnât be where she was today.
Five years agoâ¦
After falling into the sea, Nyla miraculously survived when a kind stranger rescued her. At that time, she didnât want to return to Saintornia or have any ties with her past. Thus, she reached out to Caroline, who took her away.
It took three months for her to fully regain her emotional stability.
By then, everyone she knew in Saintornia believed she had died. She decided to take her motherâs surname, and as for the baby she was carrying, he a For the next few months, Nyla stayed in the apartment Caroline rented for her, preparing for her exams while managing her pregnancy.
It wasnât until the following year that she had the opportunity to reapply for graduate school. From that point on, she juggled her studies and raising her c These past few years hadnât been easy, but Nyla felt content. If Damon hadnât suddenly reappeared, her life would have continued on its peaceful path.
Caroline shot her a playful glare. âIf you keep being so polite, I wonât help you next time.â
Over the years, Caroline had come to see Nyla as her little sister. She had witnessed every step of Nylaâs journey and understood how much she had st âAlright, I wonât say it again,â Nyla replied with a smile.
Caroline looked at her with concern. âBut you canât keep hiding this from Buddy forever. If Damon finds outâ¦â
nnas!
Nyla lowered her gaze, remaining silent for a moment before finally saying, âIâll keep hiding it as long can. Buddy is my everything. I wonât let anyone take him away from me.â
âWhatever happens, you need to be prepared in advance,â Caroline advised Nyla nodded. âI know.â
After Caroline left, Nyla sat on the sofa, lost in thought.
The way Damon had looked at her tonightâit really seemed like he didnât recognize her. It was as if he werenât pretending.
Thinking of this, she immediately pulled out her laptop and searched for Damonâs name.
After moving to Capitania, she had completely cut ties with anyone or anything related to Saintornia. If Damon truly didnât remember her, maybe there wo In no time, Nyla stumbled upon news from five years ago. Her eyes widened in shock as she read the words âcar accidentâ and âmemory lossâ.
Damon had actually lost his memory?
When he said they were meeting for the first time tonight, he wasnât lyingâhe had genuinely forgotten about her.
Nyla gripped the mouse, an unexpected sense of relief washing over her.
Damon had forgotten about her. Even if he saw Mason, who looked just like him, he wouldnât think Mason was his son. This meant she no longer had to worry about Damon trying to take Mason away from her.
Still, she needed to avoid running into Damon, and more importantly, she couldnât let him meet Mason.
As Nyla lost herself in thought, her phone suddenly rang.
The moment she picked up, a gentle voice came through the line. âNyla, I just finished a meeting and saw the video of your presentation today. It was fa Nyla grinned confidently. âOf course. Who do you think I am?â
On the other end, Oliver chuckled and walked to the window. âDo you have time tomorrow? Letâs have dinner together in the evening.â
âSure. I donât have any plans for tomorrow night,â Nyla replied.
âBring Buddy along too. I havenât seen him in a while, and I miss him,â Oliver added.
After they set a time and place, Nyla hung up, closed her laptop, and got up to get ready for bed.
The next evening, Oliver came to pick up Nyla and Mason.
When Mason saw him, he smiled. âHi, Uncle Oliver!â
Oliver scooped him up with a hearty laugh. âBuddy, have you missed me these past few days?â
