Your Uncle’s My Husband Now Back Off Ex (Nyla and Clark) novel Chapter 698

However, Ruby didn't plan to go alone and intended to invite Nyla along.

After she shared what had happened the previous night, Nyla's expression darkened.

"Why didn't you tell me last night? Did you call the police?" Nyla asked.

Ruby nodded. "Yes, I reported it, and the police are investigating now."

Nyla's gaze dimmed. If she had any hope left for her parents, it was now gone. Ruby genuinely intended to cut ties with them.

If the police discovered that the person who tried to drug and abduct her was indeed acting on her parents' orders, she wouldn't let it slide easily.

Seeing the determination and strength in Ruby's eyes made Nyla's heart ache.

She took Ruby's hand and said, "Alright, I'll go with you tonight. Sullivan saved your life, so it's only right to invite him to dinner."

"Thank you, Nyla," Ruby replied.

Nyla sighed and spoke seriously. "If anything like this happens again, you must tell me right away."

Ruby's eyes shimmered with gratitude. "Nyla, thank you!"

"Alright, enough with the pleasantries. Go take a break," Nyla said.

"Okay," Ruby answered.

After Ruby left, Nyla hesitated for a long time before sending Damon a message, hoping he could help Ruby find out who had tried to kidnap her.

About ten minutes later, she finally received a response from him.

Damon: [Nyla, I expect compensation for helping others.]

Nyla bit her lip.

Nyla: [What kind of compensation do you want?]

Damon: [Let me think… How about you cook for me this weekend?]

Upon reading this, Nyla felt a wave of relief.

Thankfully, it wasn't too difficult a request. At the same time, she felt a little disappointed. Was she… secretly hoping for something?

As Sullivan turned around, his smile vanished, leaving his expression icy and unsettling.

Nyla sent a message to Damon, letting him know she would be having dinner with Ruby and wouldn't be going back with him.

Damon hadn't replied yet, probably still in a meeting.

Nyla put her phone in her bag and got in the car with Sullivan and Ruby.

…

Because of the evening rush hour, the roads were a bit congested. By the time they arrived at the restaurant, it was nearly 7:00 p.m.

After sitting down and ordering their food, Nyla received a message from Damon. He said he had social commitments that evening and asked for the restaurant's address, saying he would have his driver pick her up after dinner.

Nyla was typing a reply when Ruby tugged at her sleeve.

"Nyla, isn't that Mr. Sumner outside? Who's that woman with him? They seem pretty close," Ruby commented.

Nyla turned her head. What she saw through the window was a couple walking side by side. Her grip on her phone tightened instinctively.
