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.

Once they reached the ground floor, Nyla threw the trash into the bin and turned to Damon. “Mr. Sumner, I won’t see you off any further.”

Without waiting for a reply, she turned and walked away.

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.

Back at her door, just as Nyla was about to unlock it, a sudden noise from the stairwell startled her.

She turned to see Gabriel emerging from the hallway, his gaze fixed on her, eyes dark and unreadable.

A wave of unease swept over Nyla as she instinctively fumbled with the lock, trying to get inside. Just as her hand touched it, Gabriel grabbed her wrist.
