Trading My Ex for His Uncle



"Alright, it's time for your nap. When your dad gets home from work tonight, you can ask him about going to the amusement park," Nyla announced.

"Okay!" Mason agreed.

Excited, he took over an hour to fall asleep.

After covering him with a blanket, Nyla got up and sat on the sofa. She picked up her phone and sent a message to Damon.

From Mason's eager expression earlier, she figured it would make him very sad if Damon refused his

quest. Thus, before Damon returned, she needed to convince him to take Mason to the amusement

1. k.

She received no reply after sending the message.

By evening, Nyla could no longer hold back and dialed Damon's number. It rang a few times before he picked up.

"Mr. Sumner, I sent you a message this afternoon. I'm not sure if you saw it," Nyla stated.

Damon's cold voice came through the line. "I saw it."

Nyla wanted to ask why

he hadn't replied, but she then realized their only connection now was Mason. It was normal for Damon not to want to respond.

She cleared her mind and said softly, "Maybe

it's because Buddy hasn't had a dad since he was little, but he really wants to go to the amusement park with his parents like other kids do. If he asks you about it tonight, I hope you can say yes.'

As her words hung in the air, a long silence filled the space on the other end.

Not sure what he was thinking, Nyla frowned. “Mr. Sumner, if you keep being silent, I'll take that as your agreement."

Finally, Damon spoke up. "Ms. Kinsey, you sent a message and called about

this. I'm curious what gave you the impression that I wouldn't agree to such a small request from my own son.

"And let's be clear-his lack of a father isn't due to him not having one. It's because you've kept his existence hidden from me all this time."

At some point, Damon hung up, leaving Nyla holding her phone in a daze.

Damon was right. It was her concealment that had led to Mason feeling insecure now.

But could she really be blamed for this? If it had been possible, she would have wanted her child to grow up in a complete family.

Over the years, she had done

everything she could to provide Mason with the best education care Damon had no right to criticize her.

During dinner, Damon entered the villa.

From the moment he walked toward the dining room, Mason tensed up, and his eating slowed down. He was clearly nervous.

Nyla gently patted his back, her voice encouraging. "Buddy, don't be afraid. Just gather your courage and say it."

Damon sat down across from them, seemingly oblivious to Mason's anxiety, and started eating.

The dinner table was quiet. Apart from exchanging a few words with Mason, Nyla didn't glance at Damon. They finished the meal in silence.

Just as Damon was about to get

and head to his study, Mason

up

mustered his courage to say, "Daddy, I have something I want to tell you." Owned by NôvelDrama.Org.

Damon looked at him calmly. "What is it?"

"Um... can you come with Mommy and me to the amusement park this weekend?" Mason asked.

His eyes were locked on Damon,

filled with both hope and fear. He hoped that Damon would say yes

and feared that he might refuse. Each second felt like torture

After a moment of contemplation, Damon replied, “Is Saturday okay? I have to go on a business trip on Sunday."

Mason's eyes instantly lit up, and he nodded eagerly. "Yes! Thank you, Daddy!"
