Chapter 695

Nathaniel was enraged, veins pulsing on his forehead. He clenched his fist and struck Rebecca hard. Despite the intense pain coursing through her body, Rebecca didn’t scream or beg for mercy like before. Instead, she burst into laughter.

She laughed at how she and Nathaniel were like two pitiful creatures, harming and despising each other yet unable to leave one another.

At first, she planned to live this pathetic life, but that changed when she saw that Nyla was still alive. Even if she were to die, she wanted to drag those who had hurt her down to hell with her!

The next morning, after Nyla woke up and washed up, she began making breakfast for Mason.

By 7:30 am., Mason was awake. Once he brushed his teeth and got dressed, he walked out of his bedroom.

Seeing Nyla bringing breakfast to the table, he cheerfully called out, “Mommy, good morning! What’s for breakfast? It smells so good!”

“I made bacon and eggs, as well as some pancakes and waffles,” Nyla replied.

“I love pancakes! Thanks, Mommy!” Mason cheered as he sat down.

He grinned when he saw the bacon and pancakes before him, his eyes squinting with joy.

“Dig in!” Nyla encouraged.

“Okay!” Mason exclaimed, taking a bite of the pancake and savoring its soft, delicious flavor.

Seeing him with syrup all over his mouth made Nyla chuckle as she wiped the corners of his mouth with a napkin. She said gently, “By the way, I want to discuss something with you.”

“What is it, Mommy?” Mason asked.

“Remember how you told your dad you wanted to go to the zoo this weekend? Uncle Oliver wants to come along, too. Would you mind if he joined us? If you don’t want him to, I can talk to him, and we can go out together another time,” Nyla elaborated.

Mason took another bite of pancake and thought about how he wanted them all to be together.

He shook his head and replied, “I don’t mind! I really like Uncle Oliver! Let’s have him come along!”

If Oliver came too, his mother could build a connection with his father while also bonding with Oliver–it

was a win–win situation!

The more Mason thought about it, the smarter he felt. He decided he would always invite Oliver from now

  1. on.

Seeing he wasn’t troubled at all, Nyla nodded and said, “Okay, I’ll let Uncle Oliver know.”

After finishing breakfast, Nyla went to work, leaving Mason with the nanny at home.

On her way to the office, she called Oliver to let him know Mason was okay with him coming along.

After hearing this, Oliver chuckled happily and said, “Great! I’ll come by Saturday morning to go to the zoo with you.”

“Sounds good! What time will you arrive? If you come early, I can make breakfast for you, too,” Nyla offered. NôvelDrama.Org holds text © rights.

“I’ll be there around 8:00 a.m.,” Oliver answered.

“Alright,” Nyla replied.

After hanging up, she hesitated for a moment, wondering if she should mention to Damon that Oliver would be joining them. Ultimately, she decided to tell Damon anyway.

As soon as she sent the message, Damon called her back.

“Why is Mr. Raynor coming? We’re taking Buddy to the zoo. Bringing along an outsider seems a bit inappropriate,” he said.

Hearing Damon refer to Oliver as an outsider made Nyla feel uncomfortable. To her and Mason, Oliver would never be an outsider.

“He wants to spend time with Buddy, and I asked Buddy this morning. He hopes Oliver can come too,” she replied.

“Are you sure Buddy wants him to come?” Damon asked.

Noticing the slight edge in his tone, Nyla frowned as she answered, “I’m sure. I said I asked Buddy.”
