Chapter 124

Nyla stood still, sensing a dangerous vibe from Damon that made her instinctively want to flee.

“Uncle Damon, it’s dark here, and it’s not appropriate for us to be alone. I’ll head back,” she said, turning to leave.

Nyla fell into Damon’s arms. She quickly pushed him away and stepped back.

Damon narrowed his eyes, the menace in them intensifying as he remarked, “You use people and then discard them. You’re quite skilled at that.”

Nyla bit her lip, feeling embarrassed. “Uncle Damon, thank you for just now, but we should keep our distance.”

Damon stepped closer, and Nyla instinctively tried to retreat but found herself against the door of the greenhouse. She had nowhere to go.
