Trading My Ex for His Uncle



Damon blinked and nodded. "Yeah, maybe it's just someone who looks a lot like your mom."

Nyla didn't dwell on the topic any longer. She placed the photo back in the album and closed it. "I'm heading to the supermarket to pick up some essentials. Want to come with me?"

"Sure," Damon agreed.

After putting the album back in the drawer, Nyla and Damon left the house together.

At the supermarket, Nyla walked ahead, picking out items while Damon pushed the cart behind her. Their attractive pairing caught the attention of several shoppers.

Once they had finished gathering the essentials, they approached the spice aisle.

Nyla turned to Damon and asked, "Should I buy some spices and groceries? We could cook dinner at my dad's place tonight."

"Sounds good to me," Damon replied.

"What do you feel like eating?" Nyla asked.

"Anything's fine," Damon answered.

Nyla stared at him, slightly annoyed. "You've been distracted since we entered the store. Is there something on your mind?"

Damon shook his head. "No, I'm just thinking about steamed fish. Let's pick one out later."

Seeing that he wasn't going to share, Nyla frowned but decided to let it go. She turned and walked into the spice aisle to begin selecting what they needed.

Watching her, Damon grew thoughtful. He was certain he had met Nyla's mother before.

According to Nyla, Emerald had moved abroad when Nyla was in elementary school.

Given that Damon had lived abroad until he was 15, he might have crossed paths with Emerald. Yet, he couldn't quite recall where he had seen her. Suddenly, his phone buzzed. It was Spencer.

"Mr. Sumner, I've sent Drake's

information to your email. By the way, during Mr. Genge's time abroad, he had quite a bit of contact with him, and the two companies have been closely cooperating," Spencer reported. noveldrama

"Got it," Damon replied before hanging up.

He opened his email and downloaded the information Spencer had sent.

The file on Drake was

From the information, it seemed there was no connection between Drake and Nyla, nor any reason for him to investigate her.

Damon's expression darkened as he called Spencer back, speaking quietly. "Use Falcon to dig deeper."

Falcon was a group of hackers Damon had trained abroad, known for their ability to uncover just about anything.

Spencer was taken aback, sounding anxious. "Mr. Sumner, it's unnecessary to deploy the team just to check on Drake-"

"Just do as I say," Damon instructed before hanging up.

Spencer sighed and dialed an international number.

"Boss, does that mean we have work to do?" asked a woman in a red bikini, holding a glass of champagne and looking excited.
