Chasing the Unexpected (Nyla)

Chapter 793

Damon stiffened and averted his gaze. “It’s nothing.”

“Is your arm still hurting?” Nyla asked, trying to look at Damon’s arm, but he turned away.

He dismissed her concern. “It’s fine. Let’s get ready for dinner.”

He didn’t even glance at Nyla as he walked past her toward the dining room.

Nyla frowned, sensing something was off about his attitude. She thought back and realized his demeanor had changed after she returned to the car from the pharmacy.

Could it be because she hadn’t mentioned Ruby to him? Was he sulking?

During dinner, Damon spoke only to Mason, ignoring Nyla unless she initiated the conversation.

After dinner, seeing Damon head toward the study, Nyla quickly followed him.

“Damon, wait! I need to talk to you,” she called out.

His tone was somewhat cold when he replied, “What is it?”

Nyla looked up at him. “Are you upset with me?”

Damon avoided her gaze. “No.”

“If that’s true,

then why were you only talking to Buddy at dinner?” she pressed.

“You’re overthinking it,” Damon replied dismissively.

Displeasure flashed in Nyla’s eyes. “If you’re unhappy about something, spill it. Keeping it to yourself will only upset you and sabotage our relationship.”

“It’s really nothing,” Damon insisted.

Noticing his indifferent expression, Nyla felt a surge of frustration.

“You always do this, keeping everything to yourself. How am I supposed to know what you’re thinking?” Her voice rose slightly, tinged with hurt.

Damon frowned, seeming to realize he might be in the wrong.

He sighed and pulled Nyla closer. “Don’t be mad. I just… I saw you talking to another guy and asked what you said, but you wouldn’t tell me, so I felt a little jealous.”
