"Alright. I'm about to board. I'll talk to you later," Nyla said.
Valarie replied, "Okay, have a great trip."
After hanging up, Nyla turned to Damon and Mason, her eyes glowing with happiness.
She had dreamed for so long of taking a family trip together. Now, that dream had finally come true.
…
Valarie and Brandon walked into the restaurant.
As they sat down, a server approached with two glasses of water.
"Good evening, sir, ma'am—" Before the server could finish, his smile faltered.
Valarie hadn't expected to see Stefan here. A flicker of surprise crossed her face.
Just as she was about to speak, Stefan quickly regained his composure, adopting his usual polite smile. "Good evening. May I take your order? We just received fresh salmon and sea urchin today. I highly recommend trying them."
Brandon raised an eyebrow, a faint hint of mockery in his gaze. "We'll take your recommendations. And add an order of Arctic shrimp sashimi as well."
"Certainly, sir. Would you like anything else?" Stefan asked.
Brandon turned to Valarie. "Do you want to add anything?"
Valarie closed the menu and said calmly, "No, this should be enough."
"Understood," Stefan replied.
After confirming the order, he took the menu and walked away.
As he turned, his grip on the menu tightened, veins bulging on his hand. His expression darkened with barely contained frustration.
Throughout dinner, Valarie struggled to enjoy the meal.
Noticing her distraction, Brandon asked in a low voice, "Valarie, does the food not taste good?"
Valarie snapped out of her thoughts and shook her head. "No, it's fine. I'm just feeling a little tired today."
Brandon nodded. "Then I'll take you home after dinner."

The readers' comments on the novel: Trading My Ex for His Uncle (Nyla)
More chapters please why stop updating...
When will the new chapters come...
Author! Why does it always so mean? Like a new character will appear and at the end of the chapter, they're all antagonist who always intend to hurt Nyla. Is there any character who will protect her with no expectation in return of any thing?...
AUTHOR!!! NOTICE THIS PLEASE!!!! I hope that Nyla's heart can be softened with Damon alone like clear things up and make some intimate time with each other. And of course Damon talking to Rebecca will make Nyla go back to her status again. Just a short calmness and joy for Nyla and Damon....
