Chasing the Unexpected (Nyla)

CHAPTER 757 Chapter 757 +25 BONUS Chapter 757 Seeing Mason's doubtful look, Damon coughed lightly to cover his unease.

"What nonsense are you talking? I'm just a bit tired from work today. It's getting late. Let's tidy up the toys, go upstairs, take a shower, and get ssleep," he replied.

"Okay," Mason agreed readily.

After they finished cleaning up the toys, Damon asked Lydia to take Mason upstairs for a bath while he went to his study.

Once seated, he picked up a document to read. However, thoughts of Nyla's words from that evening kept flashing through his mind, making him feel restless. He suspected she might know he was lying to her but wasn't sure.

After considering it further, Damon realized he couldn't hide the truth forever. It might be better to probe Nyla's feelings toward Harrison the next morning.

If Nyla wanted to see Harrison, he would tell her the truth. If she was still resistant to the idea of meeting him, then he'd wait until Harrison was feeling better before gradually bringing it up.

Upstairs...

After Nyla showered and dried her hair, she lay on her bed but found it impossible to sleep. She couldn't understand why Damon would hide the fact that he had met his niece from her. If it was just a simple meeting, there would be no need for secrecy.

The more she thought about it, the more frustrated she became. Just when she was willing to give them both a chance, he started lying to her.

Mason's comment about his teacher teaching them to be honest served as a hint for Damon not to deceive her. She didn't know if he was ignoring it or genuinely didn't understand.

Nyla picked up her phone and hesitated for a moment before sending a message to Valarie.

A phone lit up in a corner of the sofa in a private room on the second floor of a club, but no one noticed.

At that moment, the room was filled with voices as a group of men and women played a gof Truth or Dare. These people were well-known heirs from Saintornia, gathered for a night of fun.

Valarie wasn't very familiar with them-Zayn had brought her along.

As luck would have it, the bottle kept landing on Valarie.

"Truth or Dare?" someone from the group asked.

Valarie frowned, recalling how explicit the Truth questions had been earlier, and decisively chose Dare. "Call the third male contact in your phone and confess your feelings," the group dared.

As soon as the dare was dropped, cheers erupted.

Valarie raised an eyebrow and got up to grab her phone from the corner of the sofa. When she saw Nyla's message, surprise flashed in her eyes, but she didn't rush to reply.

Instead, she opened her contact list. To her surprise, her third male contact was Brandon.

+25 BONUS Chapter 757 Seeing her frown, the group exchanged curious glances.

"What's with the hesitation? Is he an ex-boyfriend?" "What nonsense! Zayn is right here! Don't get yourself in trouble!" "Hahaha, put it on speaker! I can't wait to hear how this goes!" Valarie pursed her lips, hesitated for a moment, then gritted her teeth and dialed.

The phone rang for a long twithout being answered.

She felt a slight relief and asked the group, "No answer. Should I switch to a different-" Before she could finish her sentence, the call connected.

"Ms. Weir, why are you callingso late? Is there something you need?" Brandon asked.

Several people in the room recognized Brandon's voice and exchanged glances. After all, they knew he had been pursuing Valarie for five years.

Taking a deep breath, Valarie slowly said, "Brandon, I like—” Suddenly, a hand reached over and snatched the phone away, quickly ending the call.

All eyes in the room turned to Zayn, and someone couldn't help but tease, "Zayn, what's the meaning of this?" Zayn smiled, looking at the speaker. “I just didn't want to see my girlfriend confessing to another man. Is that a problem? I'll take the punishment for her."

He raised a full glass of alcohol and downed it in one go, then placed the glass back on the table it's getting late, and she has a curfew at home. We should get going. Charge the drinks to my tab. Have fun, everyone!" It wasn't until Zayn pulled Valarie out of the club and a cool breeze hit her that she realized what had just happened.

"Zayn, will that upset your friends?" she asked.

Zayn looked at her. Under the dim light, his expression grew even gentler. "Compared to you, nothing else matters." Valarie averted her gaze, looking down as she said, "It's getting late. Let's head back." "I'll give you a ride," Zayn offered.

"Okay," Valarie replied.

On the way back, she replied to Nyla's message.

Valarie: [I don't know what's going on between you two, so I can't give you any advice can't But can say for sure that Damon loves you very much. He wouldn't do anything to hurt you.] Seeing the message, Nyla bit her lip. She knew Damon cared for her, but she just couldn't get over the fact that he had lied to her.

After all, it was unsettling when someone intentionally kept secrets from you.

Forcing herself not to think about it any longer, Nyla put down her phone, closed her eyes and tried to sleep.

her She had no idea how long it took, but she eventually fell asleep.
