Trading My Ex for His Uncle (Nyla and Damon) novel Chapter 925

"Oh, I believe you—no need to get upset," Valarie replied.

Jayden remained silent, though his expression darkened. For some reason, her words only fueled his anger.

Michelle, realizing she had been thoroughly ignored, turned to Jayden and said, "Jayden, you don't need to leave. I'll go by myself."

She grabbed her bag and hurried out of the room. As she passed Brandon, she noticed he didn't even glance in her direction. Her face went pale, and she took a deep breath before walking quickly out of the private room.

Jayden glared at Brandon. "I never thought you'd change so much just because of a relationship. All these years of brotherhood—do they really mean less to you than a girlfriend you've barely started dating?"

Brandon had heard enough and let out a cold laugh. "Of course my girlfriend means more to me than you do. Who do you think you are? Are you going to marry me? Have kids with me?

"My girlfriend is my priority. If you don't like her, then you don't like me. I suggest you get over yourself."

"Fine! Fine! I'll remember what you said today!" Jayden snapped before storming out and slamming the door behind him with a resounding bang.

The room fell silent.

Yale turned to Valarie with a calm smile. "Ms. Weir, please don't take what happened just now to heart. I'd like to apologize on behalf of Michelle and Jayden. They're young and sometimes act without thinking. I hope you won't hold it against them."

Valarie raised an eyebrow and smiled. "You're being too polite, Mr. Radford. I wouldn't take such trivial matters seriously."

"That's good to hear," Yale replied, his tone light but courteous.

Although Michelle and Jayden left in a huff, the rest of the meal proceeded without further incident.

Yale and Nolan remained polite—not overly warm, but not cold either.
