Chasing the Unexpected (Nyla)

Chapter 405

Gabriel offered a slight smile. “Mr. Sumner, haven’t you heard the saying that an older brother is like a father? Nyla is quite innocent, so as her older brother, it’s natural for me to look after her.”

Gabriel and Damon locked eyes, and the atmosphere between them grew lcy. They each understood the other’s unspoken message.

Damon didn’t believe that a stepbrother would treat his stepsister as well as a real sibling. Furthermore, his investigation had shown that their relationship was poor.

Upon recalling the auction where Gabriel had deliberately competed with him for The Lone Tear, Damon’s expression darkened.

“In that case, I should consider you a brother as well,” Damon suggested.

Gabriel sneered. “I’ve never seen anyone as shameless as you.”

Nyla frowned at Damon. “Mr. Sumner, what exactly do you want to say? If you’re finished, you can leave.” After a moment of silence, Damon realized it wasn’t the best time to continue the discussion. He said quietly. “We’ll talk about this another time.”
