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

Chapter 694 "Okay, I understand," Nyla replied. She lowered her eyes, suddenly recalling that the soup was cooking in the kitchen. When she looked up to ask Damon if she could have some now, she found herself lost in his tender gaze instead. The living room fell silent. She could almost hear her heart racing. After a few seconds of staring, she finally snapped back to reality and quickly averted her gaze. Right away, Damon's deep voice broke the silence. "What is it?" Nyla bit her lip and spoke softly.

"I just wanted to ask if I can still have soup tonight?" "You can, but try to avoid the areas that got burned," Damon answered. "Got it. I'm fine now," Nyla said. "Alright, I'll check again in the morning. If there's still swelling, we'll apply the oral gel again," Damon replied. As soon as he finished speaking, Nyla recalled the earlier moment when he applied the oral gel for her, and her cheeks flushed. She really didn't want to go through that again, so she said, "Just give me the oral gel. I can apply it in front of the mirror tomorrow." "It's no trouble at all.

I don't have anything planned for tomorrow anyway," Damon dismissed. Nyla felt speechless-that wasn't what she meant! Since he wouldn't give it to her, she had no choice. "I'll go check on the soup..." she muttered. Without waiting for his response, she hurried away, feeling as if she were escaping. Damon watched her retreating figure, his expression thoughtful and his gaze obscure. When Nyla finished cooking the soup, Damon was already in the study, dealing with work. She poured herself a bowl and set it aside to cool.

Just as she picked up her phone, she noticed a message from Ruby and immediately called back. The call connected quickly, and Ruby's somewhat hoarse voice came through. "Nyla..." "Ruby, what's wrong? Did something happen? How much do you need?" Nyla asked. Upon hearing Nyla's genuine concern, Ruby's eyes reddened as she struggled to hold back tears. "It's nothing just don't have enough money from this month's salary. If it's okay to like to borrow 500 doffars." "Sure, I'll transfer it to you right away. If that's not enough, let me know," Nyla assured her. "Thank you, Nyla!" Ruby cried.

"Don't worry about it. It's just a small thing. If you ever need help, remember to reach out. You're here in Saintornia for the project with me. I'll take care of you until you return to Capitarnia, Nyla promised. "Alright. It's getting late now, Nyla, so I won't keep you," Ruby replied. After hanging up, Nyla promptly transferred the money to Ruby. She wanted to ask what was going on but decided against it. If Ruby wanted to share, she would do so on her own. Damon was on a call with Spencer in the study. "Are you sure Howard has no connections with Gabriel?" Damon asked. "Yes, Mr. Sumner.

I've checked Howard's contacts from the past year. He has no interactions with Mr. Hackett, nor with anyone around him or his company," Spencer reported. Damon's expression darkened. His instincts told him this matter was linked to Gabriel, and he trusted that feeling. "Got it," he replied. After a moment of silence on the other end, Spencer's cautious voice returned. "So... should we continue the investigation?" "File a report. We need to ensure Howard doesn't have any chance to appear in front of Nyla again. Also, keep an eye on Gabriel," Damon instructed. "Understood. By the way, Mr.

Pedro Wilkie's birthday banquet is next week. Mr. Hackett will likely attend. Are you planning to send a gift or go in person?" Spencer inquired. Pedro was the grandfather of Gabriel's wife, Jane Wilkie. Since Gabriel married Jane, he had taken over one of the Wilkie gaming companies.
