Your Uncle’s My Husband Now Back Off Ex (Nyla and Clark) novel Chapter 1269

Chapter 1269

Valarie raised an eyebrow and called Stefan.

The call was answered almost immediately, followed by a nervous voice. “V–Veevee? You’re calling me?”

“Did I interrupt anything?” Valarie asked.

“N–No! Not at all! I’m just surprised, that’s all,” Stefan replied.

Valarie smiled. “Have you eaten yet?”

“I… uh… n–not yet… There’s a new menu in the cafeteria. It’s really good. Want to come try it?” Stefan asked.

His cautious, hopeful tone tugged at Valarie’s heart.

“Sure. Give me 20 minutes,” Valarie said.

After hanging up, she drove straight to Saintosh University.

The moment Valarie parked near the entrance, she saw Stefan walking toward her.

She stepped out of the car and met him halfway. “Have you been waiting for me this whole time?”

Stefan shook his head. “No, I just got here.”

As he spoke, he avoided her gaze, his eyes darting nervously.

They walked across campus together, Stefan eagerly pointing out buildings and landmarks.

Valarie laughed. “You know, I actually attended here too.”

Stefan froze. “Wait. Seriously?”

“Yeap. So technically, I’m your senior,” Valarie said.

“Nice to meet you, senior!” Stefan greeted with a smile.

They exchanged grins. As they passed familiar campus landmarks, Valarie mused, “Things have changed a lot since I was a student here.”

“I can give you a tour after we eat,” Stefan offered.

Valarie chuckled. “Sure. I’ll leave it to you then, junior.”

Brandon was reviewing documents when his secretary, Charlie, knocked and entered.

“Mr. Sumner, Ms. Weir went to Saintosh University after work,” Charlie reported.

Brandon’s grip on the papers tightened. His voice turned cold. “She’s seeing that guy again, isn’t she?”

“I’m not sure. Would you like me to look into it?” Charlie asked.

“No need. You can go,” Brandon dismissed.

Once the door closed, he set the file down and picked up his phone.

After a moment’s hesitation, he sent Valarie a message.

Brandon: [Valarie, are you free tomorrow? I reserved a table at that steakhouse you wanted to try. Let’s have lunch together?]

The message was sent, but there was no response.

Half an hour passed. Still nothing.

A sense of unease gnawed at him. He grabbed his coat, ready to leave, when his phone rang.

It was Jayden.
