Mason's once-downcast eyes lit up. "Even more important than Uncle Oliver?" "Of course. No matter who I'm with, you'll always be my number one," Nyla replied.
Mason hugged her tightly. "I love you the most too, Mom." Nyla gently patted his back, sensing he had noticed the changes between her and Oliver and felt insecure. As smart as Mason was, he was still almost five years old. Without a father figure growing up, it was natural for him to be more sensitive than other children. Nyla silently vowed to spend more twith him, ensuring he felt secure.
After getting Mason to sleep, Nyla returned to the living room, intending to read for a bit. Just then, her phone rang. It was Edgar.

Frustrated, she set the book down and took a deep breath, trying to calm herself.

By Friday noon, Nyla had just finished lunch when she received a call from Luca.

Damon's tall frwas clad in a sleek black suit. He held a document in his hand, his side profile cold and distant.
The atmosphere around him was so forbidding that it sent a chill down her spine.
Sensing her hesitation, Luca explained, "Ms. Kinsey, Mr. Sumner just finished a business meeting and needs to head to the branch office, so he offered to pick you up on the way." Nyla nodded. "Okay, thank you.'
She got into the car, sitting as close to the door as possible. Despite her efforts, she still couldn'Descape the faint scent of pine coming from Damon. It surrounded her like an invisible net, making her feel suffocated. $
Damon glanced at Nyla, noting how she was practically pressed against pressed against the door. His gaze hardened as he asked in a low voice, "Ms. Kinsey, am I that terrifying?" Chapter 526 X
