Chapter 1200

Author: Hello Spring
"Can't she just take me with her?" Mason asked.

Damon hesitated. The kid was too smart for his own good.

"If you go with Mommy, what about me? I'd be all alone in this big house. Would you really leave me here by myself?" Damon asked.

"You still have Lydia and everyone else," Mason answered.

"But they're not the same as you and Mommy. You and Mommy are the most important people to me," Damon explained.

Mason thought for a moment. "Then why don't you come with us?"

Damon sighed. "I can't. I have to run the company. If I leave, thousands of people will lose their jobs. Would you want all those families to go hungry?"

"I don't... but I don't want Mommy to leave either," Mason replied.

"I don't want her to leave either. But she has to. So why don't you stay here with me and wait for her to return, okay?" Damon asked.

Mason wanted to refuse, but seeing his father's sad expression, he couldn't bring himself to say no.

Although Mason was more mature than other kids his age, he wasn'

    Lydia froze for a moment, her eyes widening in disbelief. "Mrs. Sumner, where are you going?""I'm going abroad, and I'll be gone for a long time. Please take care of Damon and Buddy for me," Nyla said.It took Lydia a moment to process what she had just heard.When she finally did, she hurriedly reassured her, "Don't worry. I'll take good care of them."Nyla smiled gratefully. "Thank you, Lydia."After their conversation, Nyla turned and walked toward the door, where Damon and Mason were waiting to take her to the airport.…The drive was silent.Over an hour later, the car pulled up to the airport entrance.Nyla took a deep breath and turned to Damon. "Damon, while I'm gone, please take good care of Buddy and yourself. Your health is the most important thing."Damon nodded. "I will. Once you arrive in Meristate, the people I've arranged to protect you will contact you. If you're ever in danger, reach out to them. They'll make sure you're safe.""Okay," Nyla replied, then l

    Nyla didn't spare them another glance as she walked toward the security checkpoint.Emerald's expression darkened, but she controlled her temper. She decided she would deal with Nyla properly once they reached Meristate.After passing through security, the three of them waited in the lounge.Alexander occasionally initiated small talk with Nyla, while Emerald rested, her eyes closed.Before long, an airport staff member announced that boarding was beginning.They boarded the plane, and after a long, exhausting flight, they finally landed in Meristate.As soon as they disembarked, a chauffeur approached to take Nyla's luggage.She followed Alexander and Emerald to a car.Another hour’s drive brought them to a grand estate on the outskirts of the city.The towering iron gates, adorned with intricate carvings, stood at least four or five meters high—majestic and imposing.As the gates swung open, the car drove inside.The estate slowly came into view. Its gothic spires pierced

    The girl smiled at Alexander. "Alexander, you're finally back! Do you know how much I missed you while you were gone?"Alexander raised an eyebrow. "If I remember correctly, you told me you hoped I'd never come back when I left."The girl stuck out her tongue playfully. "You must've misheard! How could I ever want you to stay away? Oh, and by the way, did you bring me a gift?"As she spoke, she stepped up to Alexander, holding out her hand expectantly.Alexander chuckled. "Don't worry. I brought you something. I'll have the service staff send it to your room later.""It better be something I like! If I don't like it, I'll just have them return it to you," the girl warned."Alright, alright," Alexander replied. "By the way, let me introduce you—this is Nyla Kinsey. She's your elder sister."The girl's smile faded slightly, and her gaze toward Nyla was tinged with hostility. "Oh? Elder sister? If I'm not mistaken, I only have one elder brother. Where exactly did this 'sister' come

    The maid nodded. "Yes, Madam. And this young lady is...""Nyla Kinsey. My... eldest daughter," Emerald replied."I understand. Ms. Kinsey, please come with me," the maid said.Without another word, Nyla turned and followed the maid out of the study, leaving only Emerald and Alexander behind.Alexander approached the desk and said, "Aunt Emerald, you shouldn't be too harsh on Nyla. She didn't grow up by your side, so naturally, she'll think differently from you."If you want her to listen, you'll need to ease into it. Once the distance between you two shrinks, she'll naturally come around."Emerald huffed. "Am I not being nice enough? Did you hear what she called me? 'Ms. Kinsey'? I could die of anger right now!"The cold, detached way Nyla had acted toward her stirred another wave of frustration in Emerald's chest.True, she had divorced Harrison when Nyla was young, but during the time they had spent together, Emerald had done everything she could to care for her.And this wa

    Nyla understood the maid's intention but didn't take it to heart. "Alright, I understand. Thank you."A flicker of surprise crossed the maid's eyes as she watched Nyla walk into the room.Shouldn't Nyla be angry and demand an explanation after learning that she'd been placed so far from Emerald?If Nyla had confronted her, the maid could have used it as an excuse to escalate the situation, drawing Emerald's attention and fueling her dislike for Nyla.It was unexpected that Nyla accepted the obvious slight without a hint of protest.…Nyla walked to the window and looked outside.Her room was on the third floor, offering a perfect view of the garden below.Even in winter, the garden was filled with a variety of blooming flowers, creating a stunning sight.She retracted her gaze and turned back, planning to rest for a while.When she saw the maid still standing at the door, she spoke. "I'd like to rest for a bit. Could you come back in an hour to show me around the estate?"Sh

    The call connected almost instantly, and Damon's face appeared on the screen.Seeing Nyla, he smiled. "Nyla."She immediately noticed he was at his office and frowned. "Isn't it the middle of the night in Saintornia? Why are you still at work?"Damon pressed his lips together. "Something came up at the company. I promise I'll go home early tomorrow night."Nyla's expression turned skeptical. "I don't believe you. I'm going to ask Lydia later if you've been eating properly.""Nyla, I swear it's just a last-minute situation tonight. From tomorrow onward, I'll eat well and leave work on time. Okay?" His coaxing tone came through the phone, almost as if he were right beside her.Despite that, they both knew they were separated by an entire ocean, with a time difference of over ten hours.And... Damon was working so hard just so he could come to Nyla sooner.Lowering her gaze, Nyla blinked away the slight sting in her eyes. "Damon, I'm not mad at you. I just… hate seeing you push yo

    Emerald put down the documents in her hand and narrowed her eyes. "Who told you that?"Nyla stared at her coldly. "Does it really matter who told me? If you're not going to follow through on what we agreed upon, then I won't stay here and be your puppet."Emerald met Nyla's icy gaze, laughed mockingly, and leaned back in her chair, a trace of ridicule flashing through her eyes. "You think you have a choice?"From the moment Nyla agreed to come to Meristate, she had lost all say in the matter. Any bargaining power she thought she had was nothing more than an illusion.Emerald had never intended to keep her promise.Why would she provide resources to strengthen Damon's company, only for him to use them against her in the future? That would be nothing short of insanity—nurturing her own enemy.As for Nyla, whether she liked it or not, she had to obey. There was no other option.Nyla studied Emerald for a moment, then nodded. "Alright, I understand."With that, she turned and left

    Emerald's furious voice echoed behind Nyla, but she didn't even flinch. She quickened her pace and disappeared down the corridor.The once-cheerful atmosphere at the dining table instantly turned tense.Brian and Delia glanced at Emerald's dark expression and didn't dare say a word. They respected and feared her in equal measure. Whenever Emerald was displeased, they instinctively tread carefully, never daring to step out of line.Alexander looked at his aunt's stormy face and couldn't help but say, "Aunt Emerald, why are you making such a fuss over something so trivial? Besides, you were the one who broke the agreement first. You can't blame her for not respecting you."Emerald shot him a cold look. "Shut up!"She had dealt with all kinds of people in her lifetime—she wasn't about to let Nyla get the better of her.Alexander sighed in resignation but didn't press the issue.He knew his aunt well. She never listened to anyone else's advice.However, the way she was handling thi

    "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.

    Taking Mia to work was exhausting, but every time she smiled at Damon, it made everything worth it."She'll be fine. Didn't you just say she loves us both equally? She'll cry for a bit, but if you stop taking her to the office, she'll get used to being at home," Nyla reasoned.Seeing Nyla's determination, Damon finally relented. "Alright, we'll try it tomorrow. But if she cries too much, you'll have to take her to the office.""Deal!" Nyla said....After getting ready for work the next morning, Damon kissed Mia on the cheek and headed for the door.As soon as he changed his shoes at the entrance, she reached her little arms toward him, asking to be held. She had grown so accustomed to going to the office with him every day that it had become a reflex.Damon glanced at Nyla. "Nyla, maybe today we should—"Nyla interrupted, "Nope. You go to work. And if you're free for lunch, don't bother coming home. If you need to work late, no rush to come back either."Damon chuckled. "You'

    "Brandon, from now on, I'm entrusting Valarie to you," Jonathan said. "She's been spoiled by us and can be a little willful at times. I hope you'll be patient with her in your marriage, and I wish you both a lifetime of happiness together."Brandon held Valarie's hand tightly, his expression solemn. "Dad, don't worry. I'll cherish her with all my heart."Jonathan nodded, stepping down from the stage. He discreetly wiped away his tears.After exchanging vows and rings, Valarie and Brandon sealed their love with a kiss, surrounded by cheers and applause.…On the way home from the wedding, Nyla glanced at Damon. "I saw Mr. Weir wipe his tears so many times today. When Bunny gets married, you'll definitely be just like him, sneaking off somewhere to cry."Damon's grip on the steering wheel tightened slightly, his gaze sharpening. "No one will ever be good enough for my daughter. If she never gets married, we'll take care of her for the rest of our lives."Nyla raised an eyebrow and

    "Of course! When's the wedding?" Nyla asked.Valarie shook her head. "We haven't decided yet. He'll come to my house in a few days to discuss it with my parents."Nyla raised an eyebrow. "You're about to get really busy. Planning a wedding alone will take a lot of work.""Yeah, I'm already getting a headache just thinking about it," Valarie replied....For the next few months, Valarie was completely consumed by wedding preparations and work, barely having time to catch her breath.The wedding was set for August 8th, leaving them with less than six months to finalize everything.Valarie even traveled abroad several times to meet with designers and ensure her wedding dress was exactly what she wanted.Beyond the dress, she and Brandon spent hours discussing every detail—from the venue to the wedding favors and bouquet choices....After months of nonstop planning, the big day finally arrived.Valarie was already up, getting her hair and makeup done at 2:00 a.m.By the time N

    Valarie looked up and saw the approaching glow.When the figure finally stopped in front of her, she realized it was Brandon.Frowning, she asked, "Where did you go? I waited so long for you. And what are you hiding behind your back?"Brandon flipped his phone face-down on the table, revealing the flowers he had hidden. Then he dropped to one knee."Valarie, I had planned a perfect proposal for you, but when you asked earlier about the meaning of wearing a wedding dress, I knew I couldn't wait any longer."Before I met you, my life revolved solely around work. I never paused for anyone—I never cared whether the sun was rising or setting, or if the moon was full or waning. But everything changed after I met you."I began cherishing the thought of greeting you every morning, sharing meals with you, and standing by your side for life."Valarie, I want every morning to begin with us waking up together, and every night to end with us holding each other as we fall asleep."Finally, B

    Of course, every time they visited Valarie's home, Phoebe would subtly—or sometimes not so subtly—hint that they should get married.Brandon had always assumed Valarie wasn't interested in marriage since she never responded to those hints. He hadn't considered proposing.But today, seeing her so excited about picking out baby clothes made him start to imagine a future with her—building a family, raising a child.That thought filled his heart with warmth.After more than three hours of shopping, they finally left the mall, their arms full of bags.Once they loaded everything into the car, Valarie turned to Brandon. "I'm starving. Let's grab something to eat."Brandon nodded. "Sure. What are you in the mood for?""I'm not picky. Is there anything good around here? I don't feel like going too far," she replied.Brandon paused, then said, "There's a place with ethnic cuisine nearby. I went there once for a business meeting—it was pretty authentic. Want to give it a try?""Sounds g

    Nyla was silent for a moment before nodding. "Alright. If you ever need Damon to help figure out Brandon's thoughts, just let me know.""I will. Don't worry about us, though. You just gave birth. Your main priority should be resting," Valarie said."Okay," Nyla replied.Valarie lingered in the bedroom for a while, but when she saw Nyla looking tired, she stood up and left.Downstairs, only Brandon was in the living room.Valarie walked over to him and asked, "Where's Damon?""He had something to take care of for work, so he went to the study. How's Aunt Nyla?" Brandon asked."She seems to be doing well, and the baby is adorable. Oh, right, I forgot to ask what the baby's name is. I only know her nickname is Bunny," Valarie said.Just thinking about Mia Sumner's cute little face made Valarie smile. She was already looking forward to the day the baby would call her godmother.A flicker of something crossed Brandon's eyes. "You really like kids, huh?""Of course! I've said befor

    Once they were in the car, Nyla suddenly recalled Damon's phone call earlier. "By the way, what did Alexander want?"After a brief pause, Damon glanced at her. "He said Ms. Kinsey left you an inheritance and asked when we'd be able to go to Meristate to take care of it."Nyla pressed her lips together before replying, "Call him later and tell him to donate it or keep it for himself. I don't want it.""Alright," Damon replied.When they arrived home, Damon helped Nyla settle onto the couch, placing a pillow behind her back for support. Then, he said seriously, "Nyla, you've been through enough. Let's not have any more kids after this."During her first pregnancy with Mason, Damon hadn't been around, so he hadn't realized how difficult it was for her.Now, experiencing this pregnancy with her, every checkup and blood draw made his heart ache.Once Nyla gave birth, he planned to get a vasectomy. Two kids were enough for them.Nyla shot him a look. "This wasn't exactly planned, was

    More than half an hour later, Nyla finally stirred from her nap.When she opened her eyes, she found Damon sitting by her bed, watching her. She froze for a moment, caught off guard.Rubbing her eyes, she realized he was still there and confirmed she wasn't dreaming.She slowly sat up, her voice still heavy with sleep. "Why are you here? Shouldn't you be in your study working?""I missed you, so I came to see you," Damon replied.Nyla narrowed her eyes. "You definitely have something to say if you're here all of a sudden."Damon chuckled, a little helpless. "I guess I can't fool you.""Of course not. I know you too well. Ever since I got pregnant, you've never come to see me like this in the afternoon," Nyla said."Alright. Go freshen up first, and I'll wait for you downstairs," Damon suggested."Okay," Nyla replied.After washing up, she went downstairs and sat beside Damon. "Alright, tell me. What's going on? You're acting all mysterious."Damon hesitated for a moment befo
