Chasing the Unexpected (Nyla)

Chapter 425

Nyla hummed in response. She was about to take out the trash, so she decided to walk Damon downstairs as well.

Damon, wanting to spend more time with her, refrained from offering to take the trash for her.

Nyla’s apartment wasn’t on a high floor, so despite Damon’s intentions, there wasn’t much time to linger.

Damon watched her retreating figure with a complex expression. He sensed that Nyla had truly let go of their past.

He wasn’t sure how long it would take for her to forgive him, but he believed that day would eventually come.
