Trading My Ex for His Uncle (Nyla and Damon) novel Chapter 771

Chapter 771 

Early the next morning, Nyla woke up naturally. 

As she sat up and prepared to get out of bed, she noticed something unusual on her bedside table—a black card. 

Damon must have left it the night before. 

Nyla washed up and went downstairs with the card in hand. She had planned to return it to Damon, but he had already left for the office, so she set it aside for now. 

After breakfast, Nyla called Valarie and invited her to go shopping. Valarie mentioned she had something important to discuss, and they agreed to meet at the mall. 

Nyla arrived first and browsed for a while before Valarie showed up. 

“Valarie, you said you had something to tell me?” she asked. 

Valarie nodded and linked her arm with Nyla’s as they walked into a store. “Yes, I’m getting engaged to Zayn at the end of the month. Remember to come to our engagement party.” 

Nyla was caught off guard and frowned slightly. “Why so suddenly? Is it because of the Weir Group?” 

“It’s partly due to that, but also because I’m at that age. Zayn is a pretty decent choice, so I decided to go ahead with it,” Valarie replied. 

Seeing Valarie’s calm expression, Nyla felt a pang of worry. It was as if Valarie were discussing something completely unrelated to herself, without any excitement or happiness. 

“Marriage is a lifetime commitment. It’s not something you should rush into just because of age or because he seems like a good fit. Are you sure you’ve thought this through?” Nyla 

asked. 

Ordinary people already faced social pressure regarding divorce, let alone someone from families in high society like the Weirs and Updikes. 

Valarie remained silent, so Nyla continued. “You’ve only known Zayn for a short time, and you don’t know him that well yet. He might be interested in you because of the Weir Group. Valarie, don’t rush into something just because of pressure.” 

Valarie smiled bitterly. “I understand what you’re saying. But if I don’t marry Zayn, it’ll just be another person, another Wayne, Blaine, or Kane. I’d never have full control over my own marriage.” 

“That doesn’t mean you should just jump into it without careful thought, Once you’re in

that kind of marriage, it’s not something you can easily get out of,” Nyla cautioned. 

“I know you mean well, Nyla, but my mind is made up. Please don’t try to talk me out of it, “Valarie said. 

Seeing Valarie’s resolve, Nyla frowned but remained silent. After all, this was Valarie’s personal decision–she could advise her but couldn’t make the choice for her. 

She just worried that Valarie marrying Zayn might not help the Weir Group and could even give Zayn a way to seize control of it. 

Noticing the concern in Nyla’s eyes, Valarie patted her hand with a smile. “Alright, enough about me. Today, we’re here to find outfits and get styled up to look amazing for the party.” 

Nyla pushed aside her concerns and nodded. “Alright.” 

“Oh, one more thing–you might not know this, but the star of the party tonight is the grandfather of Gabriel’s wife, so we might run into him there,” Valarie reminded her. 

Nyla’s steps faltered as memories of Gabriel’s actions from five years ago rushed back, sending a chill down her spine. 

“Got it,” she replied. 

Seeing Nyla’s face pale slightly, Valarie quickly added, “Don’t worry too much. Gabriel has been married for a few years now and has a child. He probably won’t bother you anymore.” 

Nyla nodded. “I think so too.” 

They walked into a luxury boutique store, and a sales associate greeted them with a smile. 

“Ms. Weir, Ms. Kinsey, you came at the perfect time! We just received some new pieces, and they’re all limited edition. Let me show them to you,” the sales associate said. 

“Sure,” Nyla and Valarie replied in unison. 

In the center of the store hung several stunning dresses. 

Right away, Nyla’s eyes were drawn to a mermaid gown in the middle. The gown was covered in metallic sequins, shifting in color from white to light blue to deep blue. It captured the beautiful gradients of the ocean, both dreamy and mesmerizing. 

Noticing her gaze, the associate spoke excitedly. “Ms. Kinsey, you have an excellent eye! This dress is the latest work by Ris, titled Deep Sea. There are only five of these in the world. Many customers love it, but the waistline is quite small, so few can wear it. Would you like to try it on?” 

“Yes, please,” Nyla replied. 

The associate quickly took the dress down and led Nyla to the fitting room.

Valarie, with her own collection of formal dresses, didn’t see anything that caught her eye right away, so she sat down to wait. 

Just then, a sweet voice echoed. “Valarie! Fancy running into you here! Are you shopping for clothes too?” 

Valarie turned to see Gigi Chesney and felt her mood sink.
