Chasing the Unexpected

Chapter 797

That night, Nyla couldn’t sleep. As soon as she closed her eyes, the image of marrying Damon filled her mind, making it impossible to doze off.

It wasn’t until just before dawn that she finally managed to fall asleep.

When she woke up in the morning, dark circles were evident under her eyes.

During breakfast, Damon raised an eyebrow at her and asked, “Didn’t sleep well last night?

Nyla glared at the one responsible for her sleepless night. “Yeah.”

“Was it because I said I needed a wife?” Damon asked teasingly.

Seeing him smile like a lovesick puppy, Nyla instinctively denied it. “Of course not! I was… worried about Valarie, so I couldn’t sleep. What you said had nothing to do with it!”

“Nyla, I never realized you were so good at saying one thing and meaning another,” Damon replied.

Nyla gritted her teeth. “And I didn’t know you could talk so much. It’s early, and you won’t stop chatting even over breakfast.

Damon’s smile widened as he continued to eat elegantly.

His calm demeanor only made Nyla feel more flustered, and in retaliation, she started eating more aggressively. In the process, she accidentally overstuffed herself.

On the way to the office, Nyla held her round belly and looked a bit pale. She had eaten too much that morning, and now, sitting in the car her stomach churned, making her feel

nauseous.

After finishing a document, Damon turned to see Nyla looking ill and rubbing her belly. His brow’s furrowed as he asked, “What’s wrong? Is your stomach upset?”

Nyla glanced at him but didn’t answer. He was the reason she felt this way in the first place.

Seeing her silent and gazing at him with a glum look, Damon thought she must be feeling really bad. He turned to instruct the driver, “Walter, take us to the hospital.

As soon as he spoke, Nyla quickly stopped Walter. “Walter, I’m fine. I just ate too much this morning. I’ll rest for a bit, and I’ll be okay.” Belongs © to NôvelDrama.Org.

“Are you sure?” Damon asked.

He grasped her hand, and feeling how cold it was made him frown even deeper.

“I’m sure. I just need some quiet for a little while,” Nyla confirmed.

She tried to pull her hand away from Damon but couldn’t manage it. Since she genuinely felt unwell, she gave up and leaned back against the seat, closing her eyes to rest.

Fortunately, it wasn’t long before they arrived at the office building.

Nyla opened her eyes to find Damon’s worried gaze on her. Her heart warmed, and much of her frustration faded away. She assured him, “I’m really fine. Don’t worry.”

Seeing that she still looked pale but her spirits seemed better, Damon finally sighed in relief.

He reminded her, “Okay, if you really can’t handle it, just take a sick day and go home to rest. It’s a big medical project. It won’t fall apart just because you’re not here.”

Though he spoke truthfully, Nyla felt a bit hurt by his words.

“Yeah, I know,” she replied.-

They parted ways in the elevator.

When Damon reached his office on the top floor, he had just sat down when Spencer knocked and entered.

“Mr. Sumner, Mr. Preston wants to see you,” he informed.

Damon’s gaze hardened, and he replied coldly, “I have nothing to discuss with him. I won’t meet him.”

If it weren’t for Nathaniel secretly helping Rebecca, he and Nyla wouldn’t have missed five years, and she wouldn’t have suffered so much.

He had already shown enough mercy by not pursuing the Preston Group further.

After hesitating for a moment, Spencer spoke up. “Mr. Sumner, Mr. Preston said he has some information about Rebecca that concerns Ms. Kinsey.
