Trading My Ex for His Uncle



Seeing Damon's lips slowly approaching, Nyla quickly pushed against his chest. "I can sleep... I can sleep..."

"Then are you still going to Buddy?" Damon asked.

Nyla remained silent for a moment before she relented. "No..."

"Okay, then let's sleep," Damon replied, releasing her and settling back into his original position.

As Damon moved away, the fresh scent of pine on him gradually faded.

Nyla clutched the blanket, a sudden and unexpected sense of loss sweeping over her. She wasn't actually hoping for something, was she?

"Why aren't you covering yourself? Do you want me to help you?" Damon's deep voice broke through her thoughts.

"No, thanks," Nyla answered.

She pulled the blanket up to her collarbone and closed her eyes, trying to drift off to sleep.

Since Mason turned three, he had refused to sleep with her and insisted on sleeping in his own room.

For the past two years, Nyla had slept alone, so suddenly having someone else in her space felt strange.

Nyla thought she would have trouble falling asleep, but surprisingly, she drifted off shortly after.

Damon turned to look when he heard her even breathing beside him. The room was pitch black, and he could only vaguely make out her face. The person he had missed for over five years was finally asleep beside him, and he found it hard to put his emotions into words.

It felt like suddenly finding a long-lost treasure, one that brought joy but also a sense of unreality.

Damon quietly watched Nyla for a long time, long enough that his eyes grew sore before he finally looked away and gently held her hand under the blanket.

Although it was late, the lights in the Wilkies' study were still on.noveldrama

Jane and Gabriel sat on the sofa, both wearing serious expressions.

"Gabriel, Mr. Tonra said he could give us a chance, but the Wilkie Group has to invest half a billion dollars to participate in the Golden Waters Resort project," Jane said.

That amount was a little too much for the Wilkie Group.

Jane knew that the liquid funds they had available were only about 650,000,000 dollars. If they invested half a billion dollars in the resort, they wouldn't see a return until it was completed and opened.

If it were 250,000,000 dollars, she might be able to negotiate with Pedro, but half a billion dollars... he would definitely not agree.

After all, if something went wrong with the Wilkie Group, they couldn't quickly withdraw funds from the project, putting them at risk of bankruptcy.

Gabriel remained silent for a moment before speaking softly. "Jane, I can't make this decision for you, but if I were you, I wouldn't easily give up this opportunity after all the effort I've put in."

Hearing this, Jane frowned, recalling

how she had humbled herself to

et

Shane Tonra at the golf course earlier that day. He had only given her a chance to negotiate because he knew she was with the Wilkie Group. She couldn't help but grit her teeth.

When she spoke to Shane, several other people from different companies had been around. The companies were all competing at a similar level to the Wilkie Group, making it a tough competition.

In the end, Shane had said that if the

Wilkie Group was genuinely interested, Pedro should come with the money to talk to him. Someone with no authority to make decisions, like her, shouldn't be sent to waste his time.

Gabriel continued when Jane seemed persuaded. "Anyway, it's impossible to bid with Prospectus Technology now. So, you'll have to tell Grandpa about it sooner or later. Why not tell him now, and then mention the Golden Waters Resort project? Let him decide whether to invest the money."
