Valarie opened the box and found a red V-neck gown inside.
"This is gorgeous!" she exclaimed.
"Try it on," Nyla urged.
"Okay!" Valarie took the dress into the dressing room.
Less than two minutes later, she stepped out. "Nyla, it fits perfectly."
Nyla looked up, her eyes lighting up with admiration.
Dressed in the red gown, Valarie exuded confidence and elegance, like a queen. It was impossible not to be drawn to her.
"I knew my taste wouldn't fail me! This dress was made for you—every curve is accentuated just right. You look absolutely stunning! If I weren't a woman, I'd probably fall for you right now!" Nyla gushed.
Valarie laughed, covering her mouth. "You're exaggerating. But I really do love this dress. Thank you, Nyla!"
"There's no need to thank me. We don't do that between us! Oh, by the way, why don't you go downstairs and let Brandon see it too?" Nyla suggested.
Valarie's smile faded slightly. "Forget it. He probably wouldn't care anyway."
"You two still haven't made up after half a month? Or did you fight again?" Nyla asked.
Valarie pursed her lips and sat on the couch. "I took your advice and went to apologize, but he just mocked me. He said I never really treated him as my equal, and then we started arguing again. He said he needed time to cool off.
"But it's been half a month, and he's still not done. I ran into him at the door just now, and he acted like he didn't even see me. He didn't even say hello."
She lowered her gaze and let out a small, bitter laugh. "If this keeps up, we'll probably just break up naturally."
She had always hated the silent treatment, but Brandon had ignored her for half a month.
At first, she had waited for him to calm down so they could talk properly. But as time dragged on, she realized she didn't care as much anymore. She had grown used to being alone.
If they broke up, it wouldn't be the end of the world.

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....
