Trading My Ex for His Uncle (Nyla and Damon) novel Chapter 826

Valarie froze, nervously fiddling with her hair. She lowered her gaze and replied, "I don't want to see him just yet. Please tell him to go home."

"Alright," Nyla answered.

When she stepped outside, Brandon immediately walked over. "Aunt Nyla, how is Valarie?"

Seeing the concern on his face, Nyla replied calmly, "She's doing better now, but she's still not ready to see anyone. Head home for now and come back tomorrow."

Brandon let out a breath of relief and nodded. "Alright. But it's late now, so I'll stay here tonight. I'll be right outside her room."

"Fine. I'll head back then. If anything happens, call me," Nyla reminded him.

Before leaving, she returned to the room and told Valarie that Brandon insisted on staying nearby.

Valarie bit her lip before exclaiming with a frown, "Is he crazy? It's freezing out there. He's going to catch a cold sleeping in the hallway all night!"

Suppressing a laugh, Nyla replied, "If you're that worried, why not invite him in? There's a couch where he can at least get some rest."

She noticed the worry in Valarie's expression—proof of her true feelings for Brandon.

Valarie remained stubborn, countering, "I'm not worried about him! I just don't want anyone catching a cold because of me..."

Nyla took her hand and looked her in the eye. "Valarie, I was stubborn for too long and ended up missing out on five years with Damon. I don't want you to lose someone you care about for the same reason. The age difference doesn't matter. What matters is how you feel about him."

Valarie hesitated, as if wanting to say something, but ultimately looked down. "I understand. Thank you, Nyla."

"Damon and I will be going home now. Let me know if you need anything, and I'll bring it tomorrow when I come again," Nyla offered.
