Trading My Ex for His Uncle



After marrying Wren, Harrison had treated her and Gabriel as well as he could have. Even after falling seriously ill, he had set aside money for their security.

However, shortly after his kidney transplant, Wren suddenly filed for divorce.

Before leaving, she had told him she didn't want to spend her life confined to a hospital and home-she wanted her own life, her freedom. Not long after, she remarried a wealthy businessman.

Now, she had come crying to him, claiming the businessman was treating her poorly and that she wanted to return to him, insisting she still loved him.noveldrama

Harrison didn't believe a word of it.

"We were married for nearly ten years. Even though we're divorced now, I don't want to speak harshly to you. Just leave and don't come looking for me again. I don't want to see you," Harrison said.

Wren burst into tears at his words, asking, "Harrison, are you really so heartless?"

"I don't know what you think you can gain from me, but you'll get nothing. You can leave now," Harrison replied.

Wren stiffened, her gaze flicking to the key hanging around Harrison's neck before she quickly averted her eyes. "Take good care of your health, Harrison. I'll come see you again next time."

Harrison said nothing, his expression aloof.

After Wren grabbed her bag and said goodbye to Nyla and Damon, she left the room.

Once the three of them were alone, Damon turned to Nyla. "I'll go handle the discharge paperwork. You stay here with your dad." "Okay," Nyla answered.

...

In less than half an hour, Damon had completed the discharge procedures. When he returned to the room, Nyla was packing Harrison's belongings. "Nyla, your dad can move in with us at the villa now that he's been discharged," Damon said.

Nyla paused and looked up at Damon before shaking her head. "No need. My dad just said he's feeling fine and wants to live on his own for now." "Then, I'll help him find a place," Damon offered.

"The old house he lived in with my mom is still around. He plans to stay there, and I've already arranged for someone to clean it. He can move in today," Nyla said.

Seeing they had made their plans, Damon nodded. "Alright."

Nyla quickly finished packing, and Damon drove Harrison home.

An hour later, they stopped in front of an aging residential building. The neighborhood was quite old, and the environment wasn't ideal, with most of the residents being elderly.

Noticing the car parked below, several residents poked their heads out of windows, curious about the newcomers.

Nyla and Damon got out and helped Harrison from the back seat.

Harrison looked up at the building, nostalgia welling in his eyes. This place held over a decade of memories with Nyla's mother, Emerald Kinsey.

They had loved each other deeply,

unable to take the strain any longer.

Harrison had tried for a month to win her back but finally had to accept her decision.

He had planned to pursue Emerald again after their divorce, only for her to leave the country the very next day. Since then, there had been no news of her.

In the years that followed, Harrison

secured his first major investment and gradually built Harris Pharmaceuticals. Eventually, he moved Nyla to a larger homebut never sold this place.

Whenever he missed Emerald, he would return to look at it, as if she were still around.

Nyla supported Harrison up the stairs.

The old-style buildings had a

staircase in the center, with a unit on

the left and one on the right.

Harrison lived in Unit 301, which had

beleaned and had its door open

to air out the space.

Having been unoccupied for years, the musty smell of dust greeted them as soon as they stepped inside.

The cleaning lady Nyla had hired was working in the kitchen.

Hearing their footsteps, she walked out and greeted Nyla with a smile, "Ms. Kinsey, I've finished cleaning everywhere else. You can take a look. I just need to finish up the kitchen."
