Trading My Ex for His Uncle

Chapter 449



"Gabriel, do you really have to be this disgusting?" Nyla snapped.

Her blatant disgust and anger made Gabriel's smile falter.

After a long pause, he finally met her gaze and said seriously, "Nyla, one day you'll realize that I'm the one who's truly right for you."

"I would never like you. You're like a rat in a sewer-dark, filthy, and repugnant. Who could like someone like that?" Nyla shot back.

Gabriel smiled at her description. "You're right."

Even a rat in the sewer wanted to see the sunlight and reach for it.

Gabriel left, but his words lingered over Nyla like a shadow she couldn't shake off.

Valarie looked at her with concern. "Nyla, maybe you should come stay with me. I feel like Gabriel has lost it, and I'm worried about what he might do."

She couldn't understand how the gentle boy she had known could transform into the menacing and terrifying man he was now.

Nyla shook her head. She couldn't stay at Valarie's place forever. "No need. If he keeps bothering me, I'll just head to Capitarnia early."

Valarie sighed. "Alright, then."

"Don't worry about me. Let's go out for dinner, my treat. You helped me move today, and you must be exhausted," Nyla invited.

On the way to the restaurant, Valarie suddenly asked why Nyla had left in such a rush the night before, wondering what had happened. At that moment, the car swerved unexpectedly.

Valarie was startled and quickly grabbed the steering wheel, pulling it back.

An SUV had nearly brushed past Nyla's car.

"Nyla, what's going on? You scared me half to death!" Valarie exclaimed.

"I'm sorry, Valarie. I was just distracted for a moment..." Nyla muttered.

Seeing Nyla's pale face, Valarie said, "Maybe you're tired from moving today. If you want, you can park the car by the side of the road, and I'll

drive."

"It's fine. We're almost there. I'll be more careful," Nyla replied, declining Valarie's offer.

Valarie persisted, "If you're really tired, just let me know. I can drive."

"Okay..." Nyla agreed.

After this minor scare, Valarie didn't mention the previous night's events again, which relieved Nyla. She planned to keep the incident a secret, buried deep inside her.

When they finished dinner, Valarie had the driver bring her car over, and they went their separate ways.

On her way back, Nyla received a call from Damon.

"You moved?" Damon asked.

Nyla pressed her lips together and gripped the steering wheel tighter. "Yes, so you don't need to make any more grand gestures." "Nyla, you know what I want," Damon said.

His deep voice made her bite her lip. "What you want, I can't give you. Mr. Sumner, you should find someone else."

"If not you, then no one else will do. I only have room for you in my heart," Damon confessed.

Nyla pulled over to the side of the road. After a moment of silence, she said slowly, "Damon, would you be willing to be with someone you don't like?" There was silence on the other end of the line. Only Damon's heavy breathing could be heard.

"I don't like you anymore, so I don't want to be with you. And I hope you won't push me, or you'll end up being just like Clark in my eyes," Nyla said.
