Trading My Ex for His Uncle (Nyla and Damon) novel Chapter 1334

"What's up?" Jayden asked.

"You free for dinner tonight?" Yale invited.

Jayden checked his schedule—no meetings, no social engagements.

Raising an eyebrow, he asked, "Who else is coming?"

"Just the two of us," Yale replied.

"Alright, send me the details," Jayden said.

…

That evening, Jayden pulled up in front of a high-end restaurant in Saintornia.

As he stepped out of his car, Yale's voice came from the side. "Jayden, what a coincidence. We arrived at the same time."

Jayden looked over, then waited for Yale to catch up before they walked inside together.

Once seated in a private room, Jayden studied Yale. "You asked me to dinner alone. There must be something you want to talk about."

Yale chuckled. "Can't hide anything from you. Let's order first."

After placing their orders and the server left, Yale leaned back and met Jayden's gaze. "What's your plan with Michelle and Brandon? Are you really trying to set them up?"

Jayden's fingers tightened slightly around his glass. His voice was calm but firm. "Yeah. Why?"

Yale frowned. "You like Michelle, don't you? If she ends up with Brandon, won't you regret it?"

Jayden let out a bitter laugh. "What does it matter if I like her? She doesn't like me."

Yale sighed. "If only you were this clear-headed about her feelings for Brandon. He doesn't like her either, but you keep pushing him to see her. All you're doing is making everyone miserable."

Even if Brandon and Valarie broke up, he still wouldn't end up with Michelle.

Jayden looked at Yale. "So, you brought me here just to convince me to stop helping Michelle?"

He followed Jayden's gaze and was surprised by what he saw.

By the window, Valarie was having dinner with Stefan. They were chatting as they ate, and she kept picking food for him, piling his plate high.

"Veevee, I really can't eat anymore. Please, stop giving me food," Stefan protested.

Seeing how full his plate was, Valarie chuckled and set down her utensils. "Alright, I'll stop. Take your time."

"Okay." Stefan glanced at her, hesitated, then cautiously asked, "Why did you suddenly ask me to dinner today?"

"What? You don't want me to?" Valarie asked.

"No, no, of course not. I'm just... surprised," Stefan replied.

He was used to being the one sending her messages every day, often receiving only a few responses in return.

Today, he'd been too busy with classes to text her. Then, out of the blue, she reached out to him first. When she did, she mentioned she was already at Saintosh University.
