Trading My Ex for His Uncle by Hello Spring

"So, for all these five years, it's been Oliver helping you hide your identity?" Valarie asked.

"Yeah, I really owe you big time. If you hadn't introduced him to me back then, I wouldn't be where I am today," Nyla replied. Valarie felt a mix of nostalgia and lingering fear.

"I'm just glad I introduced you to him. Otherwise, you would have suffered even more. But still, I won't forgive him for keeping the fact that you're alive a secret for five years! He owes me a big meal to make up for this anger!" Valarie declared. Nyla chuckled. "Sounds good."

"But if you're with Oliver, why are you still living with Buddy at Damon's villa? Won't Oliver get jealous?" Valarie asked.

Nyla's expression dimmed. She looked down and said, "I owe him... I'll explain this to you another day. But let's talk about you. What's going on with you and Brandon? He seems to care about you. When did you start liking someone so much younger?" Valarie was rendered speechless.

She pouted and replied, "Don't bring it up! I'm so annoyed. I've told him many times that I'm not interested, but he just won't give up. Ugh..."

Nyla looked puzzled. "Although I've only met Brandon a few times, I think he's a decent guy with a nice personality."

"What's the use of a good personality? What I need is a husband, not just a boyfriend," Valarie grumbled.

She was six years older than Brandon. What did that mean? When she graduated high school, he was just finishing elementary school-a total kid.

"How do you know he can't be a candidate for marriage?" Nyla asked.
