Your Uncle’s My Husband Now Back Off, Ex Novel

Chapter 688 Seeing Ruby's eagerness to avoid Sullivan, Nyla couldn't help but smile. "Okay, I understand." The experiment finally ended around 7:00 p.m. After cleaning up the equipment and workspace, Nyla was preparing to leave when Sullivan approached her with a bag of food. "Nyla, you all worked hard on the experiment, so I brought some food," he said. Surprised, Nyla raised an eyebrow. "Sullivan, that's very thoughtful of you." Tina, who knew Sullivan well, joined them. "Sullivan, you're as considerate as always." In the past, when they worked late on experiments, he would bring them food.

She hadn't expected him to continue even after the teams were split up. With a friendly smile, Sullivan said, "Of course. You've all been working hard. As the project leader, it's my duty to handle the logistics." Since eating wasn't allowed in the lab, he set the food up in the nearby office. Although Nyla didn't particularly like Sullivan, she maintained a professional demeanor. After washing her hands and removing her lab coat, she was about to head to the office when Ruby spoke up from behind her. "Nyla, I'm feeling a bit tired today, so I'm going to head home," Ruby said.

Nyla turned to find Ruby looking pale, concern flashing in her eyes. "What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell? You look really pale." She stepped forward and touched Ruby's hand, finding it cold. Ruby quickly pulled her hand back, shaking her head. "It's nothing. I'm just a bit tired. I'll head home first." Before Nyla could say anything else, Ruby hurried off. Watching Ruby leave, Nyla sighed and walked to the office. As soon as she entered, she noticed Sullivan's gaze shift. It wasn't directed at her-it was looking past her.

For a moment, she thought she saw a hint of disappointment in his eyes, but she wasn't sure. Leon and Tina were already eating oysters. When they heard the door open, they looked up. Tina, surprised to see Nyla without Ruby, asked, "Where's Ruby?" "She said she was tired and went home early," Nyla replied. "Oh." Tina didn't dwell on it and resumed eating. Nyla turned to Sullivan. "Sullivan, why aren't you eating?" "I've already had dinner, so I'm not hungry. I actually have something I need to take care of, so I'll be heading out.

Before you all leavenet please double-check that the lab and office doors are locked," he reminded them. As he walked past Nyla, she suddenly stopped him. "Sullivan, there's something I want to talk to you about. Let's go outside." Sullivan paused for a moment, then nodded. "Alright." Once they were in the hallway, a cold breeze blew past, making it feel chilly. "Nyla, if it's not urgent, let's discuss it tomorrow. I really need to leave," Sullivan insisted. "Sullivan, Ruby is a simple girl. The two of you aren't a good match, so I hope you can keep your distance," Nyla said.

She only said this because she was certain Ruby had no feelings for Sullivan. In her opinion, someone like Sullivan wasn't someone Ruby could handle. Sullivan smirked, his smile partially hidden in the shadows, making it hard to read his expression. "That's my personal matter, and I don't think it's your place to interfere With that, he turned and walked away. Frowning, Nyla knew she'd have to find an opportunity to talk to Ruby about it directly since Sullivan wasn't taking her advice.
