Trading My Ex for His Uncle (Nyla) novel Chapter 1393

"That's more like it," Valarie chirped.

Nyla couldn't help but say, "Valarie, stop bullying Brandon all the time."

Brandon turned to her and sighed dramatically. "Aunt Nyla, since you mentioned it, I have to say something. You have no idea what I've been through these past six months, I— Ouch!"

Before he could finish, Valarie pinched his waist. "What was that? Tell me, Brandon. Have you been unhappy these past six months?"

"N-No... I've been very happy..." Brandon winced.

"Have I bullied you then?" Valarie pressed.

"No..." Brandon murmured.

Valarie huffed. "If not, then keep your mouth shut, or Nyla will really think I mistreat you."

Brandon gave her a pitiful look, lowering his head like a scolded puppy.

Before they married, Valarie had been gentle and beautiful in his eyes. But after marriage, he realized how wrong he had been.

Gentle and beautiful? All an illusion.

If he stayed out drinking and came home late, he'd have to choose between sleeping on the couch or outside.

The worst part? He couldn't even complain about it.

After all, he had chosen his wife. He had to spoil her, no matter what.

Nyla was about to speak when Lydia approached. "Mrs. Sumner, Mr. Sumner asked for you. Ms. Mia's first birthday grab ceremony is about to begin."

"Alright, I'll be right there," Nyla replied.

She turned to Valarie and Brandon. "Let's go."

A large round table had been set up in the center of the living room.

Mia, dressed in a pink princess dress and matching socks, sat in the middle of the table. She curiously looked at the people around her, her big eyes filled with wonder.
