Your Uncle’s My Husband Now Back Off, Ex! novel Chapter 75

**Through Unseen Doors We Step Into Untold Worlds Beyond by Sage Hunter Lane**
**Chapter 75**

Nyla stood frozen for a brief moment, the weight of Erin’s request settling heavily in the air between them. She took a deep breath, glancing down at her hands before responding with a composed demeanor, “Ms. Hulle, I’m afraid I can’t assist you. I’m not particularly close to Uncle Damon.”

Erin’s eyes narrowed, her voice laced with an edge of desperation. “But you’re family, Nyla. How can you not be close? Surely, you don’t mean to say you’re unwilling to help me?”

As she reflected on her previous visit to the Sumner household, Erin recalled the peculiar way Damon had looked at Nyla. There had been something in his gaze, a flicker of something deeper that piqued her curiosity.

Determined to uncover the truth, Erin had decided to dig deeper into Nyla’s life and had discovered that she was currently employed at Prospectus Technology. Erin’s plan was to gauge Nyla’s feelings towards Damon, to see if there was more to their relationship than met the eye.

Nyla offered a polite excuse, her tone earnest. “Ms. Hulle, it’s not that I don’t want to help you. It’s just that I truly am not close to him. I have some unfinished work waiting for me in the lab, so I really must be going.”

With that, she rose from her seat and made her way toward the door, leaving Erin behind.

As Nyla walked away, Erin’s gaze turned cold, a glimmer of determination igniting within her. It was clear that Nyla would not be an easy puzzle to solve, and Erin knew she had to tread carefully if she wanted to uncover the secrets hidden in the shadows of their lives.

Back in the lab, Nyla lost herself in her experiments, the world outside fading away as she immersed herself in her work. Hours slipped by unnoticed, and it wasn’t until Clark’s voice broke through her concentration that she realized it was already past six o’clock. “Nyla, I’m downstairs at Prospectus Technology. I’ll come up to pick you up.”

She quickly gathered her belongings, her mind still racing with thoughts of the confrontation with Erin, and headed toward the elevator.

The workday at Prospectus Technology officially ended at five, and Damon was known for discouraging overtime, leaving the office eerily quiet at this hour.

As the elevator doors slid open, Nyla was met with an unexpected sight—Damon and Erin were inside, engaged in conversation. She hesitated, a moment of uncertainty washing over her.

“Mr. Sumner, Ms. Hulle,” she greeted, her voice steady yet cautious.

Erin flashed her a bright smile, nodding in acknowledgment, while Damon’s expression remained icy, as if he were deliberately choosing to ignore her presence entirely.

Nyla couldn’t help but notice that when the elevator doors had first opened, Damon had been animatedly chatting with Erin, a faint smile gracing his lips. It was clear to her that he harbored a deep-seated disdain for her, a realization that seemed to please Erin immensely.
