Trading My Ex for His Uncle (Nyla)

Chapter 520

Leon's eyes lit up with delight as he quickly said, "Thanks, Nyla!"

Nyla smiled. "Alright, let's get ready for the experiment.

With her help, the experiment went smoothly this time!

By 6:00a.m., Leon let out a huge sigh of relief as he looked at the data on the computer screen.

He turned to share the good news with Nyla, only to find her fast asleep at the table. The words he was about to say died in his throat, and he instinctively quieted his breathing.

They had taken turns resting through the night, but Nyla had stayed awake the entire time, overseeing the experiment. She must have been exhausted.

Ruby Jenner gently draped a lab coat over Nyla, her movements unusually tender for someone typically so energetic and direct.

She whispered to Leon, "Let Nyla sleep for a bit. We'll wake her around seven."

Leon nodded. "Got it."

The two sat down and quietly began analyzing the experiment data. The only sounds in the lab were the soft scratching of pens against paper and Nyla's faint breathing as she slept. "Mr. Sumner, this is our lab. Take a look..." Edgar introduced, opening the door to allow Damon to step

inside first.

The moment Damon entered, his gaze was immediately drawn to the person sleeping at the desk. His expression darkened slightly.

Leon and Ruby quickly stood up. "Professor Kington.

Edgar was surprised to find people in the lab. "What are you doing here?"

Scratching his head awkwardly, Leon explained, "One of our experiment data sets had an issue, so we stayed overnight to redo the experiment. Thanks to Nyla, we were able to finish successfully." Only then did Edgar notice Nyla sleeping at the desk.

Feeling a bit embarrassed, he cleared his throat and said, "Mr. Sumner, Nyla is always very dedicated to her experiments. She must have stayed up all night, which is why she fell asleep in the lab." Damon said softly, "I understand."

At Edgar's signal, Ruby reluctantly got up and gently woke Nyla.

Drowsily, Nyla opened her tired eyes. "Ruby, what's wrong? Is there an issue with the data?"

Ruby shook her head. "No, the data is fine. It's just. Professor Kington brought Mr. Sumner to tour the lab, and everyone's been watching you sleep."

Nyla snapped awake, embarrassment flooding her face as she stood up. Seeing Damon and Edgar by the door made her flush.

"Good morning, Professor Kington. Good morning, Mr. Sumner," she greeted, her voice steady despite her

discomfort.

If she had known they were coming to tour the lab today, she would have left earlier.

Damon's cold gaze settled on her, a flicker of curiosity passing through his eyes. Why did Nyla always seem so nervous around him? Did she think he was going to bite? Edgar nodded. "You've been working hard all night. You should go home and rest."

Desperate to escape, Nyla quickly replied, "Okay."

She turned and headed for the back door, feeling Damon's eyes on her the entire time, making her skin

crawl.

It wasn't until she stepped outside that the sensation of being watched finally faded.

As soon as she exited the lab building, her gaze was drawn to a familiar car parked nearby.

It was Oliver's car.

Had he... been waiting for her all night?

Nyla hurried over and saw Oliver sleeping in the driver's seat. She knocked lightly on the window.

Oliver opened his eyes and immediately rolled down the window when he saw Nyla.

"Nyla, did everything go okay at the lab?" he asked, concern evident in his voice. Chapter 521
