Trading My Ex for His Uncle by Hello Spring

Damon's jaw was clenched, and his hands gripped the steering wheel so tightly that they turned white.

Nyla turned her head away, feeling a wave of bitterness welling up inside her.

From the moment he chose Rebecca, any possibility between them had disappeared. So why was he acting like this now? Who was he trying to convince?

He had saved her tonight, and she was genuinely grateful. She even felt a bit softened toward him. However, she knew deep down that the gap between them couldn't be bridged just by liking each other.

She also didn't want to experience the heart-wrenching pain of watching someone she loved walk away with someone else again.

They had broken up, and she didn't want to owe Damon any more than she already did.

Nyla frowned, her voice growing colder. "Mr. Sumner, I've told you twice that I don't need your help. Who's the stubborn one here?" "I'm doing this for your safety!" Damon insisted.

"And I've said I'm perfectly safe at Valarie's place," Nyla repeated.
