Trading My Ex for His Uncle (Nyla) novel Chapter 1360

Brandon didn't respond. He stepped out of the elevator, seized Valarie's wrist, and yanked her behind him.

Valarie nearly lost her balance. As she steadied herself, she heard his cold warning. "Stefan, stay away from Valarie. If you don't, you won't be able to handle the consequences."

Stefan met his gaze, his expression unreadable. "Mr. Sumner, you just made her almost fall. Let go of her."

Brandon let out a sarcastic laugh. "She's my girlfriend. It's none of your business."

Valarie immediately yanked her wrist free. "Brandon, what the hell is wrong with you? Why are you acting like this in the middle of the night?"

Brandon turned to her. "And what about you? What are you doing here so late? Don't tell me you've actually fallen for this kid who's younger than me."

At first, he hadn't taken Stefan seriously. He had assumed Valarie was just using him to get back at him.

But as she grew kinder to Stefan, panic began to creep in.

Brandon was terrified that she really liked Stefan and that she didn't want him anymore.

Valarie rubbed her sore wrist, her patience wearing thin. "How is that any of your business?"

"Valarie, I gave you time because I thought you'd come to your senses. But don't you think you're going too far now?" Brandon demanded.

Valarie exhaled sharply and turned to Stefan. "Go back to your mom's room. She needs someone with her."

"I'm not leaving. If he tries anything, I can protect you," Stefan insisted.

Brandon scoffed. "You? Protect her? You're nothing more than a distraction. What makes you think you have the right to talk like that?"

"Brandon!" Valarie's voice cut through the air. Her eyes burned with fury. "If you say one more word like that, I won't forgive you."
