Chapter 809
As Nyla was about to finish her work in the evening, Ruby gestured for her to look out the window.
Nyla was surprised to see Damon standing outside. He was dressed in a gray suit, looking tall and poised, his dark eyes fixed on her with a warm, tender gaze.
Ruby spoke up. “Nyla, you should go. I can tidy up here. Don’t keep Mr. Sumner waiting.”
Noticing the teasing tone in her voice, Nyla couldn’t help but smile. “Alright, thank you. I’ll bring you breakfast tomorrow.”
“Sounds good,” Ruby replied.
As Nyla walked out of the lab, she took off her lab coat and asked, “Why are you getting off work so early today?”
Typically, she was the one leaving first. Sometimes, Damon stayed late, and she’d spend time in the office catching up on literature.
Damon looked at her. Today, she wore a dress with a classic cut, her long hair simply tied back with a hair tie, giving her a neat and capable appearance. Despite not wearing any makeup, she was still stunning.
“The meeting ended early. When do you finish?” Damon asked.
“I just need to tidy up my desk before I leave,” Nyla answered.
Damon nodded. “Alright, I’ll wait here for you.
Back in Nyla’s office, while she organized her things, Leon approached her.
“Nyla, aren’t you going to ask about Ruby?” he asked.
Nyla paused and looked up at him. “Well, it’s her personal matter. If I pry too much, it might make her uncomfortable. If she needs my help, she’ll tell me. If she hasn’t said anything, it means she doesn’t want to share. There’s no need to push.”
Leon frowned but couldn’t refute her logic. “Okay.”
“Mm, you shouldn’t ask her either. If she wants to talk, she will,” Nyla reminded him.
Leon nodded and didn’t say anything else as he turned to leave.
Nyla finished packing and walked out of the office, telling Damon, “Let’s go.”
Damon took her bag from her, his expression neutral. “What did Leon want?”
Surprised, Nyla looked up at him. “You know his name?”

“Aren’t you in the same lab? I’ve seen him a few times before,” Damon elaborated.
“Oh,” Nyla replied.
Noticing that she had fallen silent, Damon sighed. “You still haven’t answered my question.

Just as he finished speaking, Nyla smiled and raised an eyebrow. “If I don’t say anything, are you going to get jealous again?”
“Not at all. You’re overthinking it,” Damon denied.
“But your expression suggests otherwise,” Nyla teased.
Damon remained silent.
Upon seeing his straight face, Nyla’s smile deepened. “He just asked me about Ruby. Nothing else.”
“Oh,” Damon replied.
The two fell silent, and the quiet continued until they reached the car.

On the way back, Nyla pondered for a while before deciding to tell Damon about what had happened at the kindergarten that morning.
After listening, Damon’s expression darkened. “You don’t need to worry about this anymore. I’ll handle it.”
Nyla thought it made sense to involve Damon in handling Mason’s matters. It would help the father and son bond more quickly, so she nodded. “Alright.”
Damon took out his phone and called Spencer. “Find out what happened to Buddy at the kindergarten this morning. Do it quickly.”
After hanging up, he asked Nyla if Mason’s injuries were serious. When he learned that Mason only had a few scratches on his face, he sighed in relief.
Soon, the car pulled up in front of the villa.
Unexpectedly, a red BMW was parked by the villa’s entrance, blocking Damon’s car.
