Trading My Ex for His Uncle (Nyla and Damon) novel Chapter 1336

Michelle reached for her phone on the table.

Just before her fingers could brush it, Jayden's hand shot out faster, snatching it away.

She looked up at Jayden, her teary eyes flashing with defiance. "Give me back my phone!"

Jayden took a deep breath and spoke slowly. "Michelle, it's not too late to stop. If you really did send Stefan to get close to Valarie, then tell him to back off."

Michelle nodded. "Fine. No matter what I say, you won't believe me. So, let's say I did send him. What are you going to do? Tell Brandon?"

Jayden fell silent, unsure of how to respond. Before coming here, he hadn't even considered what he would do if Michelle was behind this.

Would he tell Brandon? Or pretend he didn't know?

"Whether you were behind this or not, you need to call Stefan and tell him to stop seeing Valarie. If Brandon finds out about your relationship, he won't believe anything you say again," Jayden warned.

Michelle's eyes filled with disappointment. "So, you don't believe me either?"

"I want to, but…" Jayden trailed off.

Michelle's voice cracked as she cried, "Enough! Just go. I don't want to see you right now."

"Michelle…" Jayden's tone softened, almost pleading.

Michelle yelled, "Go! Just leave! If you don't trust me, then let's stop seeing each other altogether!"

Tears streamed down her face. She wiped them away and turned her head, refusing to look at him again.

The hospital room fell silent. Neither of them spoke.

After a long moment, Jayden placed her phone back on the table and walked out.

As the door clicked shut, Michelle finally lost control, sweeping everything off the bedside table in a fit of rage.

Jayden lingered outside for a few seconds before walking away.
