Chapter 793
Damon stiffened and averted his gaze. “It’s nothing.”
“Is your arm still hurting?” Nyla asked, trying to look at Damon’s arm, but he turned away,
He dismissed her concern. “It’s fine. Let’s get ready for dinner.”
He didn’t even glance at Nyla as he walked past her toward the dining room.
Nyla frowned, sensing something was off about his attitude. She thought back and realized his demeanor had changed after she returned to the far from the pharmacy.
Could it be because she hadn’t mentioned Ruby to him? Was he sulking?
During dinner, Damon spoke only to Mason, ignoring Nyla unless she initiated the conversation.
After dinner, seeing Damon head toward the study, Nyla quickly followed him.
“Damon, wait! I need to talk to you,” she called out.
His tone was somewhat cold
When he replied, “What is it?”
Nyla looked up at him. “Are you upset with me?”
Damon avoided her gaze. “No.”
“If that’s true, then why were you only talking to Buddy at dinner?” she pressed.
“You’re overthinking it,” Damon replied dismissively.
Displeasure flashed in Nyla’s eyes. “If you’re unhappy about something, spill it. Keeping it to yourself will only upset you and sabotage our relationship.”
“It’s really nothing,” Damon insisted.

Noticing his indifferent expression, Nyla felt a surge of frustration.
“You always do this, keeping everything to yourself. How am I supposed to know what you’re thinking?” Her voice rose slightly, tinged with hurt.
Damon frowned, seeming to realize he might be in the wrong.
He sighed and pulled Nyla closer. “Don’t be mad. I just… I saw you talking to another guy, and asked what you said, but you wouldn’t tell me, so I felt a little jealous.”
Nyla widened her eyes. “Is that really why? You’re being so petty.”
Damon chuckled helplessly. “I know, I shouldn’t have reacted that way. It won’t happen again.
Most of Nyla’s anger faded at his sincerity. She retorted, “Who told you that delivery person

was a man?”
Damon frowned. “If it wasn’t a guy, then was it..
Then, he seemed to realize something, his brows furrowing even more. “Wait, that delivery person was a woman?”
Nyla nodded. “Yeah, and I know her.”
Damon was speechless. He hadn’t expected to be sulking over a woman.
Unable to help herself, Nyla laughed at him. “Your possessiveness is a bit much, don’t think? I was just talking to someone else for a minute, and you’re all jealous.”

A hint of guilt flashed in Damon’s eyes as he rubbed his nose. “That’s because when I asked you, you were so vague about it. You kept spacing out afterward, making me think you were hiding something.”
“Are girly conversations even appropriate for you?” Nyla asked.
Damon looked sheepish, not saying anything else.
Just when the atmosphere between them became a bit more relaxed, Nyla’s phone rang unexpectedly.
As soon as she answered, Valarie’s slightly downcast voice came through. “Nyla, can you come keep me company?”
Surprised, Nyla asked, “Valarie, what’s wrong? Did something happen?”
Valarie was silent for a few seconds before giving her the name of a bar and saying she would wait for Nyla there before hanging up.
Nyla put her phone away and told Damon, “I don’t know what’s going on with Valarie. She’s a a bar, and I need to go check on her.”
