Chapter 694
Seeing Valarie start to drink the smoothie, Phoebe smiled kindly. “How was today’s auction? Did you find any jewelry you liked?”
Valarie nodded. “I did! Oh, I even bought a set for you! I get it for you!”
Phoebe stopped her. “No need to do that now. You can give it to me tomorrow, Just focus on drinking the smoothie first. I came over tonight because I wanted to talk to you about something.”
“What is it?” Valarie asked.
“About tomorrow’s blind date. Remember to dress modestly. The Comstocks are quite traditional and don’t like women who are too flashy,” Phoebe reminded her.
Valarie paused, frowning at her mother. “Mom, even if I can put on an act for tomorrow, I can’t pretend forever. I think it’s better to show my true self during a blind date.”
Besides, she wasn’t a product that needed to be dressed up to meet someone else’s expectations.
“Valarie, I know you don’t want to go on this blind date… but our family isn’t what it used to be. You’re getting older, and it’s no longer about you choosing someone. It’s about others choosing you.
“A blind date is supposed to be purposeful. It’s about presenting your best self with the intention of marriage. Just trust me on this. I won’t steer you wrong,” Phoebe insisted.
Looking at her mother’s earnest expression, Valarie felt helpless and eventually nodded. “Okay, I understand.”
“Great. Then I won’t keep you. Drink your smoothie and get
rest,” Phoebe said.
After Phoebe left, Valarie glanced at the smoothie, suddenly losing her appetite.
She placed the glass back on the tray and bit her lip. As she thought about the blind date tomorrow, her mood plummeted.
Rebecca had just returned to the villa and sensed the oppressive atmosphere in the living room. She glanced toward the center of the room and saw Nathaniel’s dark, angry face.
With a calm expression, she withdrew her gaze and casually changed her shoes.
“Come here.” Nathaniel’s voice was strained with anger, and his gaze seemed to shoot fire at her.

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....
