Trading My Ex for His Uncle by Hello Spring

Chapter 1176

Watching Mason dash away, Nyla couldn't help but smile. But that smile quickly faded as she thought about their imminent separation.

"Nyla, why are you staring after Buddy like that?" Damon's voice snapped her back to reality.

She turned to him, quickly masking her sadness. "Oh, nothing. I was just thinking about how fast time flies. Buddy's already five years old."

Damon slid an arm around her waist. "It might feel fast to you, but not to me. When I think about the five years we lost, I can't help but feel regret. If we'd been together all that time, the three of us would've been so happy."

The mention of those lost years made Nyla sigh.

If only she had trusted Damon more back then, they wouldn't have missed out on so much time together.

And now, just as they had reunited, they were about to be separated again.

"I'm sorry, Damon..." she murmured.

Seeing the guilt in her eyes, Damon pulled her into his arms, his voice soft.

"There's nothing to apologize for. For me, as long as I'm with you and Buddy, it's never too late."

"Mm," Nyla hummed in response.
