Chapter 445

Author: Hello Spring
Seeing Nyla's indifferent gaze, Damon realized that continuing the discussion tonight would be futile.

"Then get some rest. We'll talk again tomorrow," he said.

"There's no need to talk, Mr. Sumner. Please don't come back to disturb my peaceful life," Nyla replied coldly.

The chill, combined with a hint of disdain in Nyla's eyes, struck Damon like a heavy blow, leaving his face pale.

"Then I'll... leave for now. If you feel unwell, just call me," he offered.

Nyla did not respond. She simply walked to the door and opened it.

Damon pressed his lips together, standing in the living room for a moment before sighing and leaving.

After closing the door, Nyla leaned against it, exhaling softly as her emotions churned.

Downstairs, Damon's face was stormy with anger.

"Bring Rebecca to me!" he roared.

Less than an hour later, two men in black suits brought Rebecca into Damon's villa.

Damon sat on the sofa, his gaze cold and filled with rage.

Rebecca had never seen him like this be

    Nathaniel turned to Rebecca in disbelief, gritting his teeth. "Rebecca, what does Damon mean by this?"Rebecca shook her head, tears streaming down her face, but she refused to speak.At that moment, Nathaniel understood everything.Despite being with him, Rebecca had still been seeking opportunities to be with Damon. The realization made him feel foolish for wanting to stay with her.He chuckled bitterly, his expression growing cold. "Since you still have feelings for Damon, let's break up."For years, he had silently loved Rebecca, but her attention always seemed to be on Damon, never on him. No matter how deeply he loved her, her lack of response over time had worn him down.Rebecca was stunned, panic flashing in her eyes. She reached out to grab Nathaniel, but he avoided her touch.Without looking back, he walked away."Nathaniel!" Rebecca cried, her face turning pale as she hurried to chase after him.She stopped him at the villa's entrance, her eyes filled with regret an

    Rebecca knew she had truly lost Nathaniel this time. He had always been unconditionally tolerant of her, which had made her increasingly reckless, assuming he would always be by her side.After crying, she slowly got up and headed back to Damon's villa.As if anticipating her return, the villa's staff stopped her at the door and handed her the document Damon had given her in the living room."Ms. Austen, Mr. Sumner asked that you sign this document and sever all ties with him," the housekeeper said.Rebecca's face flushed with anger. "Where is Damon? I want to see him!"The housekeeper's eyes flashed with disdain. "Mr. Sumner isn't here right now. I'd advise you to sign the document and take the money. Mr. Sumner's patience is limited."Infuriated, Rebecca raised her hand to slap the arrogant housekeeper, but her hand was quickly caught.The housekeeper roughly pushed her, sending her crashing to the ground. The document was tossed in front of her."Ms. Austen, I am not your se

    Damon nodded with a smile. "Alright. What would you like for lunch? I'll bring it to you."Nyla was taken aback by Damon's unexpectedly pleasant demeanor. She hesitated for a moment before replying awkwardly, "No need. I've bought groceries and will cook for myself.""Okay. If you're free tonight, we—" Damon began."I'm not free," Nyla interrupted, slamming the door in his face.A trace of helplessness crossed Damon's expression as he watched the door close. He then turned and left with a smile.Once he was gone, Nyla took a moment to calm herself before returning to the living room to study.…In the afternoon, Valarie came over."Nyla, why did you suddenly move back here? What if Gabriel comes looking for you again?" she asked."He won't come during the day. I need to start looking for a place of my own anyway. I can't stay at your place forever," Nyla replied.Valarie looked slightly displeased. She had intended to offer that Nyla could stay at her house for as long as nee

    "Gabriel, do you really have to be this disgusting?" Nyla snapped.Her blatant disgust and anger made Gabriel's smile falter.After a long pause, he finally met her gaze and said seriously, "Nyla, one day you'll realize that I'm the one who's truly right for you.""I would never like you. You're like a rat in a sewer—dark, filthy, and repugnant. Who could like someone like that?" Nyla shot back.Gabriel smiled at her description. "You're right."Even a rat in the sewer wanted to see the sunlight and reach for it.Gabriel left, but his words lingered over Nyla like a shadow she couldn't shake off.Valarie looked at her with concern. "Nyla, maybe you should come stay with me. I feel like Gabriel has lost it, and I'm worried about what he might do."She couldn't understand how the gentle boy she had known could transform into the menacing and terrifying man he was now.Nyla shook her head. She couldn't stay at Valarie's place forever. "No need. If he keeps bothering me, I'll just

    Damon's end of the line was silent. After a moment, he hung up.For the next month, Damon did not appear before Nyla. Other than occasional updates from Valarie, Nyla had no further encounters with him.Nyla spent her days immersed in her studies. It wasn't until her period was delayed by more than a week that she began to feel uneasy.However, recalling her previous body checkup results, which indicated she was infertile, provided some comfort. She reassured herself that the delay must be due to the stress of studying.Despite her attempts to calm herself, anxiety lingered. She donned her coat and went downstairs to the pharmacy to buy a pregnancy test. She needed confirmation before she could truly relax.Half an hour later, Nyla's eyes widened in shock as she saw two lines on the test. Wasn't she supposed to be infertile?Moreover, she had taken a contraceptive pill for added safety—how could she still be pregnant?After the initial shock, panic set in.Nyla quickly made an

    Clark was visibly agitated, his eyes reddened, and he nearly slammed the report in Nyla's face.Nyla pushed him away, her expression filled with disgust. "What does it have to do with you?""Whose child is it? No, wait... You were supposed to be infertile. How could you be pregnant?" Clark demanded.His anger slowly shifted to confusion, and then to a hint of suspicion.Nyla grabbed the report back from him. "This is my business. What does it have to do with you?""Of course it matters! If you hadn't been unable to conceive for three years, and if the checkup hadn't shown you were infertile, we wouldn't have ended up like this!" Clark exclaimed.Nyla was infuriated by his shamelessness. "Clark, don't use my infertility as an excuse for your affair. Even if I am pregnant, it doesn't excuse your cheating. And since the report said I was infertile, but I'm pregnant, you'd better get yourself checked too, so you don't end up mistakenly thinking you're the father.""Say that again?!"

    However, in the next moment, Clark found his suspicion somewhat laughable. If he were truly infertile, how could Jordyn be pregnant?On the other end of the line, Michael spoke up after a brief silence. "Mr. Sumner, is there anything else you need?"Clark's voice was low and firm. "No, that's all."He had initially considered asking Michael to schedule another body check-up, but now he felt it was unnecessary.Just after ending the call, Clark walked into the obstetrics and gynecology department.Jordyn was coming out of the doctor's office, holding a report and smiling."Clark, the doctor says the baby is healthy," she said."Great. Since the check-up is done, let's go," he replied curtly, not waiting for her reaction as he turned and walked away.To Clark, merely accompanying Jordyn to the prenatal check-up was already a significant gesture. He had no interest in the finer details or in taking care of her. After all, Jordyn had nothing and wouldn't leave him, even for money.

    Clark had essentially been cheated on!Seeing Clark's grim expression, Michael lowered his head and said nothing.Although others might not realize it, he was well aware that Clark had been keeping tabs on Nyla despite their divorce. It was clear that, even though he hated her, he still had feelings for her. Learning that she was pregnant with Damon's child would naturally infuriate him."Mr. Sumner—" Michael began."Get out!" Clark roared.Michael quickly turned and left. As soon as he closed the office door, he heard the sound of objects being thrown inside.…After lunch, Nyla suddenly remembered while resting on the sofa that she had taken birth control pills before—so why was she still pregnant?She hurriedly opened her medicine cabinet and found the pills she had taken. To her shock, they had expired over a year ago!She couldn't help but smack her forehead. How could she have not checked the expiration date of the pills when she took them? How could she have been so car

    "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
