Chapter 619
Mason hadnât seen Oliver in a while, so his face lit up with excitement. âOkay!â
As soon as Mason spoke, he sensed Damonâs gaze on him. It seemed his father wasnât too keen on having Oliver join them for dinner.
However, he had already agreed, and he didnât want to chase Oliver away, especially since he really liked him and wanted to eat together.
Oliver sat down next to Nyla and turned to Damon. âSorry to intrude.â
Damonâs expression was indifferent. âIf you knew it was an intrusion, Mr. Raynor, you shouldnât have followed Ms. Kinsey here in the first place, should you?â
Catching the sarcasm in Damonâs tone, Oliver remained unfazed and smiled. âIâve always had meals with Nyla and Buddy before, and I thought you wouldnât mind since you know my relationship with Nyla.â
Damon remained silent, his face stoic. Admitting he minded would make him seem petty while claiming he didnât mind felt uncomfortable. Ultimately, he chose to ignore Oliver, treating him like he was invisible.
However, Oliver clearly didnât see it that way.
During dinner, he, helped Nyla peel shrimp and picked fish bones out for Mason, making his presence felt. He even cracked jokes, causing Mason and Nyla to burst into laughter.
The table was filled with cheerful chatter, while Damon sat quietly, looking increasingly out of place.
After enduring the meal, they settled the bill, and Oliver offered to drive them home.
Damon finally couldnât hold back any longer. He reached over, took Mason from Nylaâs arms, and said coldly, âMr. Raynor, itâs not on your way, so you donât need to drive us.â
Oliver didnât even look at himâhis warm gaze rested on Nyla. âBe careful on your way back then. And let me know when you arrive.â
âOkay,â Nyla replied.
The driver quickly brought the car around. As they got in, Nyla rolled down the window to say goodbye to Oliver, but Damon coldly instructed the driver to start driving.
Nyla was taken aback. She turned to Damon, noticing his stern expression and feeling confused. What was bothering him?
After a long day of play, Mason, who hadnât even taken a nap, fell asleep in the car.
Nyla and Damon remained silent until they reached the villa. Once the car stopped at the entrance, Nyla planned to carry Mason out, but Damon was quicker. He picked Mason up before she could.
He carried Mason back to his bedroom, tucked him under the covers, and then turned to Nyla. âWe need to talk.â
Nyla looked up at him. âMr. Sumner, Iâm really tired today and just want to rest. Can we talk tomorrow?â
âNo, it has to be today,â Damon insisted.

Seeing the intense look in his eyes, Nyla knew he wouldnât let this go without discussing it. Reluctantly, she agreed. âAlright, what do you want to talk about?â
âI want to make it clear that when Buddy is with us, I donât want anyone else around,â Damon stated.
Nyla frowned. âOliver isnât just anyone.â
Damonâs gaze turned icy as he replied, âMaybe not to you, but youâre used to having him around you and Buddy. I donât have any emotional foundation with Buddy. I donât want another man competing for his
attention when Iâm with him.â
At his words, Nyla fell silent. It was true that Oliverâs presence would affect Damonâs relationship with
Mason.
After thinking it over for a moment, she nodded. âOkay, I understand. Today was just an accident. Iâll
make sure to avoid it in the future.â
Damonâs expression softened slightly at her agreement.
