Trading My Ex for His Uncle by Hello Spring

Chapter 836

Before Nyla could respond, Damon interjected coldly, "Mr. Hackett, she probably doesn't have the time."

As he spoke, he stepped in front of Nyla, blocking Gabriel's view.

Gabriel looked directly at him, unperturbed. "Mr. Sumner, Nyla hasn't answered yet, and you're speaking for her. Isn't that a bit domineering?"

The two men held their ground, both roughly the same height, as the atmosphere grew tense between them.

Damon exuded an icy aura, as if he could freeze anyone in place.

Meanwhile, Gabriel maintained a slight smile, seemingly unaffected by the tension.

The living room fell into a heavy silence, each breath audibly punctuating the quiet.

Nyla frowned and spoke coolly. "Gabriel, I heard your mother has remarried. We have nothing to do with each other anymore, and I don't want to have dinner with you." Gabriel's smile faltered, a flicker of disappointment appearing in his eyes.

He lowered his gaze and said softly, "Nyla, I know you still hold a grudge for what happened before. I just want to be like a brother to you now, to make up for the harm I caused." "There's no need," she replied sharply. "If you truly want to make amends, let's pretend we don't know each other when we meet in the future. It's better for both of us."
