Chapter 519
Trading My Ex for His Uncle
Before Damon got engaged to Erin, he had already realized that he had no physical desire for any woman, Even if a woman stood naked in front of him, He later consulted a doctor, who suggested that it might be a lingering effect of the car accident he had been in. The doctor had even recommended tryin Not only was there no physical reaction, but Damon also felt nothing emotionally.
After trying for a while, he accepted his reality and decided marriage wasnât in the cards for him.
He had assumed he would never be interested in womenâ
until that day in the elevator when Nylal bumped into him. Suddenly, he felt electrified by the contact.
At first, he thought it was just a fluke. However, when he saw her again at the celebration party, he felt something strange stir inside him.
He couldnât quite identify what it was, but instinctively, he wanted to resist it. Yet despite his resistance, his eyes were drawn to her.
Damon frowned, pushing away the chaotic thoughts. He rubbed his temples, wondering if he was just too tired. Otherwise, why would he feel a sense of After Damon left, Erin called her mother. âMom, I saw Nyla tonight.â
There was a brief silence on the other end before Melissa Gaskinâs voice came through.
âWhat nonsense are you talking about? That woman died five years ago. Do you think sheâs come back from the dead?â she asked.
âIâm serious! I even talked to her! You should ask Dad to investigate and see if sheâs really alive!â Erinâs voice trembled, betraying her panic and instabilit Hearing her daughterâs anxious tone, Melissa said seriously, âAlright. Il tell your father to look into it.â
The Hulles had thrived over the past few years, largely due to Erinâs engagement to Damon. Their business had grown significantly compared to five yea If Nyla really wasnât dead, it could potentially disrupt the Hullesâ future.

Nyla and her company had just finished dinner and were walking out of the restaurant when she received a call from Caroline.
âNyla, thereâs an issue with one of the data sets in the experiment Iâm running. Iâm on my way home and canât make it to the lab in time. Do you have tim âSure. Iâll head over right away,â Nyla replied.

How about I take Buddy to my place to sleep? When youâre done, ca Nyla glanced at Mason, who was starting to doze off in the back seat, and nodded. âOkay.â
When they arrived outside the lab, Nyla unbuckled her seatbelt and said, âOliver, Iâm sorry to trouble you with Buddy.â
Oliver gave her a warm look. âItâs no trouble. Just call me when youâre done.â
Once Nyla disappeared into the lab, Oliver started the car and drove off.
As soon as Nyla stepped into the lab, Leon Colwell hurried over. âNyla, youâre hereâ¦â
âWhich set of data is the issue?â Nyla asked.
âNo. 25,â Leon answered.
Nyla took the experimental data and records Leon handed her, scanning them quickly.
Ten minutes later, she frowned and said, âThereâs nothing wrong with the experiment records. The entire experiment for this set will need to be redone.â
Leonâs face fell. âThe data is due tomorrow morning. Looks like weâre pulling an allânighter.â
