Trading My Ex for His Uncle



If Damon had known that Clark would cheat on Nyla, and that he himself would end up liking her so much, he would've snatched her away from Clark.

Nyla was taken aback. She had only made the comment casually, but Damon actually confessed.

For some reason, her heart skipped a beat, and she felt a little shy.

She hadn't expected Damon to have been interested in her so early.

Back then, however, she had been deeply in love with Clark, so no one else would have caught her eye. Even if Damon had pursued her then, she definitely wouldn't have agreed.

"I can't believe you were already in love with me back then. I guess being too charming has its drawbacks," she joked.

Her playful self-absorption made Damon smile even more, his gaze full of tenderness.

"But I'm still curious-what was our first meeting like? Was I so beautiful and stunning that you couldn't take your eyes off me?" Nyla asked.

Damon replied, "Not exactly. You were actually in quite a messy state."noveldrama

Nyla fell silent. She had imagined walking by him in her best attire, making him fall for her at first sight. Apparently, that wasn't the case. Instead, she was a mess?

Damon certainly had unique taste.

As far as she could remember, though, she was rarely caught looking disheveled-except for one time.

Back then...

When Harris Pharmaceuticals went bankrupt, Harrison fell ill, and they couldn't afford the medical bills. She had gone to ask his old friends for help, but everyone turned her away, claiming they couldn't lend her anything.

That day, it was pouring rain, and she ended up drenched.

When she knocked on the door of the last person she could ask for help, her expectations were already low. As expected, the man was hosting guests and coldly told her to leave, having his service staff shut the door on her.

Nyla felt almost hopeless that day. She stood outside for a while, then left.

Soon after she got home, one of the man's subordinates contacted her, offering to lend her the money. With that Harrison managed to hold on.

Later, when she was in university, she worked part-time and paid the money back after graduation. She remembered that when she returned the money, the man seemed quite conflicted, saying he had never expected her to actually pay it back.

Nyla rarely thought about the past. For her, what was done was done and there was no going back. Looking ahead was what mattered most.

BUMS

Now that she thought about it, today's date was exactly a month after Harris Pharmaceuticals' bankruptcy.

Based on the timing, since Damon had said she had looked like a mess, it must have been the day she had been trying to borrow money.

She turned to Damon and asked, "Was our first meeting when I was borrowing money after my father got sick?"

Damon nodded. "I didn't expect you to guess so quickly."

"But I never met you when I borrowed the money," Nyla reasoned.

Suddenly, she seemed to realize something and bit her lower lip. "Wait, was it actually you who lent me the money, not that man?"

She had always wondered why he had suddenly changed his mind. Now, it made sense if Damon had been behind it.

"Mm," Damon hummed in response.

"It's really you!" Nyla exclaimed.

If that was true, then her first encounter with Damon had actually happened even before she met Clark.

"I originally planned to wait until you grew up, but then Clark beat me to it," Damon quipped.

Nyla pressed her lips together. If she had known it was Damon helping her back then, maybe she would have had feelings for him.
