Brandon widened his eyes in disbelief. “Seriously?”
“Of course. I’ll have Spencer book the tickets now,” Damon said, pulling out his phone.
Before he could make the call, Nyla quickly stopped him. “Damon, there’s no need. I don’t actually want to go to the movies.
“You sure? If you do, I can book the tickets now,” Damon reassured.
Brandon smirked. “Uncle Damon, you seriously didn’t realize Aunt Nyla was just trying to give you an easy way out?”
Nyla laughed softly. “I really don’t want to go. Plus, I’m a little tired. I’d rather just go home and rest.”
Just as Brandon was about to respond, he suddenly winced and turned to Valarie. “Why’d you pinch me?”
Valarie blinked innocently. “When did I pinch you? Are you imagining things?”
“You definitely-” Brandon began.
Before he could finish, Valarie interrupted, “Alright, alright. Our movie is about to start. Let’s go!”
She turned to Nyla. “Nyla, we’ll head out first. You should go home and rest. You’ve got a baby to take care of.”
Nyla nodded. “Alright.”
Without giving Brandon another chance to speak, Valarie clamped a hand over his mouth and dragged him away.
Sometimes, that fellow could be so unpredictable. Who knew what nonsense he’d blurt out next?
Nyla watched them leave with a smile.
Once they were out of sight, Damon turned to her. “Are you sure you don’t want to go to the movies?”
“Mm. And you don’t have to do things you wouldn’t normally do just for me. Watching a movie doesn’t have to be in a theater We can always watch one at home,” Nyla said.
“But would that feel different for you? Brandon says relationships need a sense of occasion sometimes,” Damon asked.
Nyla chuckled. “You already do plenty of thoughtful things. Besides, I really am tired. Let’s just go home”
“Alright.” Damon took her hand, their fingers interlocking as they made their way to the parking lot.
When they returned to their villa, Damon’s phone rang. 1
It was Alexander. Damon frowned as he listened.
Noticing his expression, Nyla glanced at him with concern. “Damon, what’s wrong
After hanging up, Damon turned to her “Nyla, there’s something I need to tell you But I want you to be prepared first 30’s about
your mother.”
Nyla’s stomach sank. “What is it?”
“Promise me you won’t get too upset. You’re pregnant, and I don’t want you to stress.
Damon said gently
“I promise. No matter what she’s done, I won’t let it affect me,” Nyla vowed
Damon hesitated before saying “Alexander just called Your mom’s health test results came back last month. She has brai cancer. The doctors say she has about six months left”
