Trading My Ex for His Uncle by Hello Spring

Chapter 751

Nis glanced at Rusty out of the corner of her eye and noticed her pale face. She fell silent, clearly accepting, Sullivan's words.

From then on, neither of them exchanged glances, speaking only to Ruby individually.

Once dinner concluded, Sullivan offered to drive them home, but Nyla declined

Sullivan quickly resumed his previous gentle facade. "Nyla you're not still holding onto what happened earlier, are you? If you're really upset, I can apologize "

No need, Sullivan. It's out of the way for you, so I'll just take a cab home," Nyla replied.

Just as she turned to walk toward the curb, Ruby grabbed her arm. "Nyla, I'll go with you. It's on my way."

Nyla turned to Sullivan and said, "Sullivan, it's getting late. You should head home too. Drive safely.".

Sullivan didn't push further, simply nodding. "Alright, let me know when you get home."

"Sure," Ruby replied.

Sullivan turned toward his car only after Nyla and Ruby hailed a cab and left.

In the taxi, Nyla apologized to Ruby. "I'm sorry, Ruby. If it weren't for me, the atmosphere wouldn't have been so awkward tonight."

Ruby shook her head. "It's fine, Nyla. I think what you said was right."

She had invited Sullivan to dinner because he'd saved her, and she felt obligated to help him if he needed anything. Yet, she couldn't shake the feeling that he had ulterior motives. "Ruby, I hope you always stay this alert. There are many ways to thank Sullivan for his help, but don't let your gratitude lead you to accept his feelings too easily," Nyla cautioned.

"I understand," Ruby replied.

"Good," Nyla said.

After chatting for a bit longer, Ruby got out of the cab.

Nyla was left alone, her mind drifting back to the scene she had witnessed earlier in the restaurant. A pang of bitterness rose in her chest.

Suddenly, her phone buzzed.

Seeing Damon's name flashing on the scree moment, she decided to pick up.
