As they approached, they noticed that Damon looked upset.

Nyla raised an eyebrow and asked, “Mr. Sumner, have you been waiting too long?”

Damon suppressed his discontent and forced a smile. No, let’s head inside.”

Just then, Mason suddenly looked up at Nyla and said, “Mommy, I need to pee. Can you come with me?”

Nyla nodded. “Sure.”

“I’ll take Buddy to the restroom. You two go ahead,” she said, taking Mason by the hand and walking away.

Once Nyla and Mason were gone, Damon’s expression turned icy. “Mr. Raynor, we’re here at the zoo as a family of three. What’s your purpose in showing up?”

Oliver smiled, but his eyes remained cold. “Mr. Sumner, the recent troubles with the Raynor Group–that’s your doing, isn’t it?”

Damon didn’t deny it. “Just giving you a little reminder not to interfere with our family time.”

A sneer flashed in Oliver’s eyes. “Do you really think Nyla will forgive you? What kind of family do you think you have?

“I asked Buddy, and he’s fine with me being here. If we’re being honest, Mr. Sumner, you’re the outsider, aren’t you?”

“Don’t forget, Buddy is my biological son!” Damon snarled, his face darkening as his eyes turned stormy.

“You don’t need to emphasize that, Mr. Sumner. I just want you to understand: if you want to compete with me for Nyla, then bring it on. I won’t back down,” Oliver replied.

Damon chuckled coldly. “I admire your confidence, but sometimes, too much confidence becomes

arrogance.”

“Let’s wait and see,” Oliver said.

As they spoke, Nyla returned with Mason.

Seeing the two men still standing there, she looked surprised. “Why haven’t you gone in yet?”

Oliver smiled and stepped forward. “We were waiting for you and Buddy.”

Nyla glanced between the two of them, sensing a strange tension in the air but unable to pinpoint what was off.

“Well, let’s go then,” she said.

They walked into the zoo together. Just after entering and walking a bit, they spotted the pandas.

Mason’s face lit up with excitement as he let go of Nyla’s band and ran ahead. “Mommy, it’s a giant panda! I love giant pandas!”

Nyla hurried to catch up, warning him, “Buddy, slow down! Be careful not to fall.”

When they reached the panda exhibit, Mason couldn’t see over the barrier in front of him.

Just as Nyla was about to lift him, two male voices echoed in unison from behind her. “I’ll do it.”

Turning around, she found both men looking at her, and she felt an added weight of pressure.

Both Damon and Oliver were tall and attractive, easily catching the eye of the crowd,

Noticing that several people were watching, Nyla frowned slightly. “No need, I can lift him myself.”

With that, she turned and picked Mason up.

The two men exchanged glances, each sensing a competitive tension in the other’s eyes.

Damon stepped up to Nyla’s left and said, “Let me carry him. You’re small, and you’ll get tired after a while.

Oliver moved to her right and softly said, “Nyla, let me carry Buddy so he can see the giant pandas. It’s crowded here, and I don’t want you and Buddy to get bumped.”

Nyla was at a loss for words.

After a few moments of silence, she decided to stay quiet. Talking to either of them would only offend the other, so it seemed best to remain silent.

From then on, whether it was buying water or taking photos for Mason, Damon and Oliver were overly eager to help.
