Semua Bab My Ex’s Uncle Is Obsessed With Me After Divorce: Bab 671 - Bab 680

Gabriel's name flashed through Nyla's mind again, but she quickly dismissed it. After all, he was married now with a child and seemed to have a happy life.He wouldn't do something like this... or would he?…Half an hour later, Caroline finally called back."Nyla, I couldn't find any information on that number. It must have been deliberately hidden. Why are you investigating it?" she asked.Nyla hadn't expected that even Caroline, who was skilled in computer hacking and had previously tracked down online trolls to their home addresses, couldn't find anything. This only confirmed that the person behind this had malicious intent."It's nothing. Thank you for helping. I'll treat you to dinner when I'm back in Capitarnia," Nyla replied.Realizing that Nyla didn't want to elaborate, Caroline didn't press further. "I couldn't even find the owner's name. I didn't help at all—no need to treat me. By the way, how's everything going in Saintornia? Is the project progressing smoothly?"A

"Yeah, it's a security guard from your apartment complex. But I think there's more to it," Damon replied.A security guard?Nyla frowned, trying to recall any interactions, but she couldn't remember ever talking to the security guards at her complex. Besides, a guard wouldn't say things like "Welcome back" to her.Noticing her frown, Damon said calmly, "Don't worry about it. I'll handle it. For now, I'll have the driver take Buddy to and from school, and you can commute with me. That way, I can ensure your safety."Thinking about the messages from last night, Nyla felt that chill creep up her spine again. She nodded. "Okay, I'll listen to you."After finishing breakfast, the driver took them to the office. On the way, Damon asked if they needed to keep their relationship a secret.Nyla thought for a moment and replied, "No need. It's not something we can hide for long anyway, so let's just go with the flow."A spark lit up in Damon's eyes as he answered, "Alright."When the car

Sullivan smiled. "I've been here for a little while. You were on the phone, so I didn't want to interrupt.""Oh," Ruby replied, her expression clouding.If Sullivan had been there for a while, he must have overheard her call.Any positive impression she had of him faded immediately—someone who eavesdropped on others' conversations couldn't be trusted.Noticing her displeasure, Sullivan quickly added, "I apologize. I really didn't mean to listen in. That's why I stayed outside the door. But your voice was loud enough that people in the next lab could probably hear you too."Ruby frowned. "Did you need something? If not, I'll be heading to lunch.""I was just dropping off some documents for Nyla. Since she's not here, could you please hold onto them and give them to her this afternoon?" Sullivan asked."Sure," Ruby answered.After placing the documents in her drawer, she was about to head to the cafeteria. When she reached the door, though, she noticed Sullivan was still there, s

Ruby shook her head and replied, "I'm fine, Nyla. Just didn't sleep well. What did you want to discuss?"There was no way a lack of sleep could cause such swelling, but Nyla didn't push. She understood that everyone had things they preferred to keep to themselves."I'm planning to change the catalyst for the experiment. Can you see if we can try these options this afternoon?" Nyla proposed, handing Ruby a piece of paper with the catalysts she had in mind.Ruby glanced over it and picked out two options. "I think these two are worth trying. I've tested the others before, and they didn't work well—the reaction time was too long."Nyla nodded. "Alright, let's go with your suggestions."After finalizing the plans, Nyla was about to return to her desk when she added quietly, "If you're facing any difficulties, you can talk to me. Don't let it affect your work."Ruby blinked, clenching her hands. "I understand."Whether because of Nyla's words or not, Ruby seemed more focused that aft

Sullivan raised an eyebrow. "I'm not escorting you. This just happens to be my way home too. I can't just avoid this road because you're on it, right?"Ruby frowned but couldn't argue with his logic. After a few moments of silence, she turned and walked off quickly.Sullivan stayed about four to five meters behind.This annoyed Ruby, so she quickened her pace, hoping to shake him off. No matter how fast she walked, he kept his distance until she entered her apartment building. Only then did he stop following.Back in her apartment, she slipped off her shoes and walked to the couch, feeling exhausted.Her phone buzzed. It was a Messenger message from Nyla.Nyla: [Hey, I noticed you didn't seem well today. If there's anything troubling you, don't hesitate to talk to me. I'll help you figure things out. Stay strong!]Ruby stared at the message for a moment before simply replying: [Okay.]At a popular seafood restaurant in Saintornia…Nyla looked at Ruby's brief response and felt
