Trading My Ex for His Uncle (Nyla) novel Chapter 1351

Nyla was momentarily stunned but reached out to accept the gift.

"Can I open it now?" she asked.

Alexander nodded. "Of course."

She lifted the lid and found a stunning ruby necklace inside, surrounded by diamonds that shimmered like a star-studded sky. It was breathtaking—impossible to look away from.

"It's beautiful. Thank you," she gasped.

"As long as you like it, that's all that matters. By the way, where's Buddy?" Alexander asked.

"He's probably in the main hall," Nyla answered.

Alexander chuckled. "Alright. I'll go look for him."

As soon as he left, Valarie let out a gasp of amazement. "Nyla, who was that guy? I just saw this necklace on the news a while ago. It was auctioned off for 20,000,000 dollars to a mysterious buyer! And now, I see it in real life—right here!"

Nyla was taken aback. She hadn't expected the necklace to be that valuable.

She examined it again. Aside from its beauty, it didn't seem all that special.

"Are you sure it's worth so much?" she asked.

Valarie nodded fervently. "Absolutely! This was an engagement gift from a queen's husband. He personally designed it as a symbol of a once-in-a-lifetime love.

"If this man gave it to you, he's probably wishing you and Damon a lifetime of happiness. But seriously, what's your relationship with him? He must care about you a lot to give you something this expensive."

Meeting Valarie's curious gaze, Nyla pursed her lips. "He's my cousin. But before you told me, I had no idea how valuable this necklace was."

If she had known earlier, she probably wouldn't have accepted it.

Valarie, having been her best friend for years, immediately understood what she was thinking. "Nyla, don't overthink it. Since your cousin could afford to give you something this extravagant, it means he genuinely wants you to have it. He just wants to see you happy. But seriously, when did you suddenly gain a cousin?"
