"I thought you were planning to never speak to me again," Damon said, gripping Nyla's chin and forcing her to look at him.Nyla slapped his hand away, her voice icy. "Mr. Sumner, there's nothing to discuss between us. What you're doing now is sexual harassment. If you don't want me to call the police, let me go right— Mmph!"Before she could finish, Damon kissed her.Nyla froze for a moment, then bit him hard, the taste of blood filling her mouth.Damon let her go, his expression darkening. "Are you part dog?"Seeing his lower lip bleeding, Nyla sneered. "If you dare lay a hand on me again, this will just be the beginning."Damon wiped the blood from his mouth and raised an eyebrow. "You just accused me of sexual harassment. I thought I should live up to the charge. Otherwise, what's the point?""Can you let me go now?" Nyla asked."I will, as long as you promise to stay away from Gabriel," Damon replied.Nyla nodded. "Fine. I'll agree as long as you keep your distance from Re

In the evening, Nyla received a call from Valarie, inviting her out for dinner.When Nyla arrived at the restaurant, Valarie hadn't yet arrived. She had just taken a seat when a familiar figure appeared at the entrance. Her gaze landed on the woman standing beside Damon.The woman was dressed in a white strapless gown with subtle makeup and a serene smile. Her delicate features and elegant demeanor marked her as a striking beauty.Although Nyla had never met Rebecca, the way she intimately held Damon's arm revealed her identity.Nyla quickly looked away, pretending not to have noticed them.What she did not realize was that Damon's gaze had also settled on her as she averted her eyes.Rebecca sensed Damon had stopped walking and glanced up, her curiosity piqued. Noting his gaze fixed on a particular spot, she tightened her grip on his arm.Before returning to the country, Rebecca had seen photos of Nyla.The Nyla in the photos was already strikingly beautiful—so much so that ev

Damon's gaze instantly darkened, but he remained silent. Instead, he withdrew his arm from Rebecca's grasp and pulled out the chair closest to her. "Have a seat."Afterward, he avoided looking at Rebecca and sat in the chair beside her.Rebecca's smile faltered momentarily, but she quickly regained her composure and sat next to him as if nothing had happened.Most people probably didn't notice, but Nathaniel could sense Damon's indifference toward Rebecca.Their behavior suggested that they had not reconciled, yet if they hadn't, Damon likely wouldn't have brought her along like this.Pushing aside the strange feeling in his heart, Nathaniel smiled and said, "Alright, it's Rebecca's welcome-back party tonight. I'm glad everyone could make time to come."The room buzzed with conversation, with most attention focused on Rebecca.For a moment, she felt as if she were back when she was with Damon—being the center of attention.She was well aware that if Damon hadn't come with her t

Mockery flashed in Connor Bambra's eyes. "Why is it that you can dish it out, but you can't take it?"Erin stood up, sneering. "You think standing up for Rebecca will get you a partnership with Prospectus Technology? Idiot!"Although Connor had been thinking along those lines, being called out by Erin before everyone made his face darken with anger."I think you're just bitter because you can't get the man you want, and now you're lashing out at everyone," he taunted."You—" Erin was livid. She shot to her feet and said coldly, "You'll regret this!"With that, she spun around and stormed out of the room.Throughout the ordeal, Damon watched the scene unfold with an indifferent expression, not a hint of emotion on his face.The room quickly returned to its lively atmosphere, as if nothing had happened.Despite the apparent calm, Rebecca couldn't shake her unease.In the past, even if someone spoke ill of her behind her back, Damon would never have let it slide if he found out.

"Even if you were the one who ended things, he wronged you first! Are you just going to take it lying down?" Valarie looked at Nyla, her expression a mix of anger and sympathy."What else can I do? He doesn't like me anymore. Am I supposed to hold a knife to his throat and force him to change his mind?" Nyla's voice was calm as if discussing something unrelated to her life.Her naivety had led her to believe Damon genuinely liked her, that he wouldn't hurt her as Clark had done.Valarie glanced down at Nyla's hands, clenched so tightly that her knuckles had turned white. With a sigh, she said, "Let me go. I'm not going to cause a scene.""Really?" Nyla asked, unsure.Valarie nodded. "Yeah."People always kicked those who were down. Even if they confronted them now, the others would laugh at Nyla's expense.Nyla released Valarie and said softly, "Don't dwell on this. I've made peace with it."Sometimes, she still felt sad when she thought about him."Okay, let's not talk about

Nyla wasn't prepared for what happened next. Her lower back slammed against the edge of the marble sink, sending a sharp pain shooting through her body. Her face turned pale.Nathaniel quickly rushed over to support a swaying Rebecca, his expression anxious. "Rebecca, are you alright?"A bruise was already forming on Rebecca's forehead, but she managed a weak smile. "Nathaniel, I'm fine. Ms. Jayston didn't do it on purpose... Besides, I just got back, and Damon broke up with her. It's only natural for her to be angry with me..."Nathaniel's expression darkened as he glared at Nyla. "Rebecca and Damon were together before. They're just getting back together now. No matter how unhappy you are, there's nothing you can do about it. If I see you lay a hand on Rebecca again, I won't let you off easy!"Nyla had been caught off guard by Rebecca's little stunt, and her back still throbbed from when Nathaniel had shoved her into the sink.Already irritated, she couldn't help but sneer at hi

As Damon approached, Nyla frowned and instinctively stepped back, a wary look in her eyes. Was he planning to confront her because of Rebecca?When they were just a few steps apart, Nyla watched as he suddenly raised his hand toward her.Gritting her teeth, she warned, "Damon, if you dare lay a hand on me, I—"Before she could finish, Damon pulled her close and asked, "Are you hurt?"Nyla's eyes widened in surprise, but she quickly masked it with a cold reply, "No, let go of me!"Even if she was injured, it was none of his business.As she tried to push him away, he gently pressed a hand on her lower back where she had collided with the sink."Ow…" Nyla gasped in pain, glaring at Damon. "What are you doing? Let go—"Before she could finish, he scooped her up. Startled, she wrapped her arms around his neck, her face paling even more.Once the shock wore off, her anger flared. "Damon, what on earth are you doing? We've broken up! Put me down!"Damon's expression remained impass

"I don't want to choose either. Just stop the car now. I want to get out," Nyla said.Damon calmly resumed driving. "Since you don't want to choose, I'll do it for you."Nyla was so frustrated she almost laughed. She knew that no matter what she said, Damon wouldn't let her out of the car. Resigned, she turned her gaze coldly toward the window.In less than half an hour, they arrived at the hospital.Damon carried Nyla inside. Resisting was pointless, so she remained silent and expressionless.…After the examination, the doctor assured them there were no major issues and prescribed some medication for internal and external use.As they were leaving the hospital, Damon tried to carry Nyla again, but she stepped back to avoid him."Thanks for tonight, but I'll take a taxi home," she said coldly.With that, she picked up her medication and turned to leave the hospital.Damon followed her silently. As they approached his car, he stopped her and said, "I'll take you home."Nyla

"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
