    “Okay, where should we meet?” Damon asked.


    “I’ll meet you at your office after work,” N replied.


    After hanging up, N took a deep breath and returned to her room to shower and rest.


    The next evening, after finishing her work at theb, N headed straight to the top floor to find Damon.


    Spencer had been instructed to expect her, so when he saw her, he immediately approached. “Ms. Kinsey, Mr. Sumner is waiting for you in his office. I’ll take you there.”


    “Thank you,” N replied.


    Spencer led her to the office and quickly left.


    Damon put down the file he was holding and looked up at her. “Have a seat. I’ll sign off on this document, and then I’ll be with you.”


    N sat down on the sofa.


    A few minutester, Damon walked over and sat across from her. “What did you want to discuss?”


    Pressing her lips together, N said, “I’ve thought it over carefully. Buddy is at a sensitive age right now, and he needs aplete family. So, I agree with what you proposed before. I’m willing to pretend to be a loving couple with you for Buddy’s sake, but I have a few conditions.”


    Damon frowned. “Pretend? What do you mean?”


    He wanted to genuinely reconcile with her and make things right for her and Mason, not just y a role.


    N looked directly at him and replied calmly, “I don’t intend to start over with you. I hope you understand that.”


    If Damon hadn’t used Mason to pressure her, she might have softened and given their rtionship another chance.


    Now, if she agreed because of Mason, Damon would just keep using the same tactics to force her intopromising again and again in the future. That wasn’t the kind of love she wanted,


    A flicker of disappointment crossed Damon’s eyes. He had assumed that N wanting to talk meant she was willing to give him another chance, but he now realized it was just wishful thinking.


    Despite that, if she was willing toe back into his life, he would have plenty of opportunities to win her


    over.


    With that thought in mind, he nodded. “I understand. What are your conditions?”


    N listed them: “One, we’ll only act like a couple in front of Buddy. Outside of that, we won’t interfere in each other’s private lives.


    “Two, when Buddy turns 18, we’ll tell him the truth and go our separate ways.

    “Three, if either of us starts a new rtionship, we must inform the other in advance so we can find a way to minimize the impact on Buddy.”


    Damon listened silently until N finished, then looked at her. “I can agree to all three of your conditions, but you and Buddy need to move back in.” N?velDrama.Org is the owner.


    N nodded. “Okay.”


    Beforeing to see Damon, N had already considered the possibility of either Damon moving in or them returning to his vi. After all, if they were going to act like a couple for Mason’s sake, they couldn’t live apart.


    “The weekend ising up. I’ll have people help you pack, and we’ll move you in then,” Damon said.


    N frowned. Although it felt a bit rushed, she still nodded. “Okay.”


    Damon stood up. “Since we’ve talked everything out, I need to get back to work. You should head home.”


    “Okay, Mr. Sumner, I-” N began to say.


    He interrupted her. “Don’t call me ‘Mr. Sumner‘ anymore. Just call me by my name.”


    N conceded, “Okay, Damon. Buddy’s been a little down these past few days. If you have time, join us for dinner tomorrow night.”


    “I have a business event tomorrow. How about the night after?” Damon suggested.


    “That works. I’ll see you then,” N said.


    After N left, Damon didn’t return to his desk. Instead, he took out a bottle of red wine from the cab ‘He poured himself a ss and walked to the window.


    As he gazed down at the busy streets below, his expression was deep and contemtive.
