Chapter 603
Damon paused in his tracks. âNo, set another place for me.â
Lydia nodded. âGot it! Iâll go call Ms. Kinsey and Mr. Mason down for lunch.â
âAlright,â Damon replied.
As Nyla and Mason came downstairs, she was surprised to see Damon sitting at the head of the table.â Good afternoon, Mr. Sumner.â
Since they had agreed to stop clashing, the atmosphere between them had softened significantly.
âGood afternoon,â Damon replied.
After placing Mason in a chair, Nyla planned to feed him first before eating herself.
Noticing this, Lydia stepped forward and said, âMs. Kinsey, let me feed Mr. Mason. You go ahead and eat.â
Seeing Nyla hesitate, Lydia added with a smile, âIâve trained to take care of children, so I wonât make any
mistakes.â
Nýla didnât mean to imply that she didnât trust Lydiaâshe just felt a bit embarrassed about having someone else care for her child.
Just then, Damonâs deep voice broke in! âLet Lydia feed him.â
âOkay, Lydia, Iâll leave it to you,â Nyla said.
âNo trouble at all, Ms. Kinsey. Donât worry about it,â Lydia replied.
After Nyla sat down and picked up her cutlery, Damon suddenly asked, âDid Clark bother you today?â
Caught off guard by the question, Nyla paused before nodding. âYeah.â
âIf he bothers you again, just tell me. Iâll handle it,â Damon stated.
Nyla pressed her lips together and looked down. âNo need. I can take care of it myself.â
Damonâs grip on his cutlery tightened, but he didnât pursue the topic any further.
The table fell into silence, filled only with the sounds of plates and cutlery clinking.
After finishing his meal, Damon grabbed some documents and left.
Nyla took Mason upstairs. After coaxing him to sleep for his afternoon nap, she was about to rest when there was a gentle knock at the door.
Noticing Mason frown as if he was waking up, Nyla hurried to the door and opened it to find Lydia.
âLydia, whatâs wrong? Buddy is taking a nap,â she asked
Lydia quickly lowered her voice. âMs. Kinsey, Ms. Hulle is here. Sheâs downstairs right now.â
Erin was Damonâs fiancee. As a housekeeper, Lydia couldnât chase her away and had to come find Nyla instead.
Nylaâs eyes flickered with surprise. She hadnât expected Erin to arrive so soon.

âOkay, I understand. Iâll come down right away,â she assured Lydia.
Lydia sighed, looking a bit worried. âMs. Kinsey, Ms. Hulle doesnât look happy⦠I think she means trouble. Youâd better be mentally prepared.â
Meeting Lydiaâs concerned gaze, Nyla nodded with a smile. âSure. I appreciate it, Lydia. Thank you.â
After Lydia left, Nyla glanced back at Mason, relieved to see he hadnât woken up. She quickly changed her clothes and headed downstairs.
As soon as Nyla entered the living room, she found Erin sitting on the couch, visibly angry.
âNyla, how dare you have the nerve to live here! I really underestimated you!â Erin scolded.
Sitting down across from her, Nyla maintained a calm expression. âYou should direct that comment to Damon.â
Erin sneered. âDonât think living here means youâve won. Iâm still Damonâs flancee!â
Feeling irritated, Nyla looked up at her. âMs. Hulle, I thought after five years youâd be a bit smarter, but it seems youâre still just as foolish as you were back then.â
âWhat did you say?! Say that again!â Erin cried..
How dare Nyla call her foolish?! What right did this woman have?!
âIf you had any brains at all, youâd know that causing a scene with me is pointless. Damon will only be unhappy about it. And who do you think leaked the news about me staying here to you?â Nyla shot back.
