Trading My Ex for His Uncle (Nyla)
Chapter 831

"Alright, thank you for your help," Valarie said.

"No problem," the officer replied.

After the police left, Valarie turned to Brandon. "You should go to work. There's really nothing else I need here I'll just finish packing and get ready for discharge later."

"I'm not busy. I'll help you with the discharge papers," Brandon offered.

Just as he finished speaking, his phone began to ring.

Valarie gave him a knowing smile and teased, "Is this your version of 'not busy'? Your phone has rung at least a dozen times this morning. Just go. My parents are coming soon, so no need to worry about me."

"I'll leave when they get here," he replied, determined to stay.

Seeing how insistent he was, Valarie had no choice but to let it go.

After waiting another half hour, her parents still hadn't arrived, but Nyla showed up.

With someone else there to keep Valarie company, Brandon finally relented. He gathered his files and left for work.

After arranging the flowers she had brought, Nyla turned around to find Valarie still staring toward the doorway. She couldn't resist teasing her. "He's already gone. If you miss him that much, want me to call and bring him back?" Valarie snapped her attention back, trying to cover. "I wasn't looking for him. I was waiting for the nurse to bring my morning meds."

"Ohhh..." Nyla exaggerated, clearly unconvinced.

From Valarie and Brandon's earlier exchange, Nyla could tell something had definitely happened between them last night. The looks they had shared practically crackled. She'd have to be blind to miss it.

Valarie knew it was pointless to hide, so she admitted, "Brandon and I are together now."

Nyla didn't look surprised at all, which left Valarie feeling a bit annoyed. "Could you at least pretend to be surprised?"

"Oh! You're actually together! I'm sooo shocked!" Nyla gushed, feigning surprise.

Valarie was speechless.

Forget it. No point in saying anything.

"Since I returned to Saintornia and you showed up at Damon's house, I could tell you had feelings for him. You two getting together was just a matter of time," Nyla explained.

Valarie fell silent for a moment, then looked at Nyla with a hint of concern. "Was it really that obvious?"

"Mm, probably only you and Brandon didn't see it," Nyla replied.

"Fine..." Valarie conceded.

Noticing the faint worry in Valarie's eyes, Nyla spoke gently. "However you got here, what matters is that the two of you are together now." Valarie lowered her gaze. "I just worry... if we'll make it to marriage. He's still six years younger than me..."

"It's just six years, not 60. And since

you're already together, stop overthinking it. If it ever ends because of that, so be it. At least you'll have had this time together," Nyla reassured her.

Valarie nodded and managed a smile. "You're right. I'm overthinking it."

Nyla checked the time and then got up. "I should go. I only got the morning off."

"Alright. I'll be out this afternoon, so don't worry about visiting," Valarie replied.

"Mm," Nyla hummed in response.

As Nyla left the room and exited the hospital building, her phone buzzed with a call from Jane.

"Nyla! What do you and Damon

mean? Just because of the kids

playing around, you're rallying the whole class against my son? Don't you think that's overboard for a little boy?" Jane growled.
