Trading My Ex for His Uncle

"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 Nyla arrived around 7:00 a.m., Valarie was fully dressed on her bed, waiting for the groom's side to pick her up.

When she saw Nyla, Valarie groaned. "Getting married is exhausting! I've been up since before dawn and haven't stopped moving since."

Nyla laughed. "Weddings are always tiring, but it's worth it. You'll want to look back on today without any regrets."

"Yeah, you're right." Valarie nodded, then looked around. "By the way, where are Bunny and Buddy? Why didn't you bring them?"

"They're with Damon. Bunny can't be apart from him, and Buddy can't be away from his sister. The three of them are practically inseparable now," Nyla explained.

Valarie chuckled. "Damon's famous now. Everyone calls him a 'daughter- obsessed dad.' He even takes her on business trips! Brandon says his uncle has completely changed."

Who would've thought Damon would turn out like this?

Nyla shook her head. If Mia didn't get fussy without Damon and cry whenever she couldn't see him, he probably wouldn't take her on his trips.

"Alright, enough about them. Today is your day," Nyla said with a smile.

She reached into her bag and handed Valarie a small box. "This is my wedding gift for you. I hope you like it."

Valarie opened the box and at the

"As long as you like it." Nyla hugged her. "Valarie, you have to be happy."

"I will," Valarie promised.

As soon as Nyla entered the wedding banquet hall, she saw Damon holding Mia

beside them, trying to get Mia's attention. Unfortunately, she didn't even glance his way.

Seeing this, Nyla couldn't help but smile. She quickly walked over.

Noticing her, Damon turned with a warm gaze.

"Did you see Valarie?" he asked.

"Yeah. Here, let me hold Bunny for a while. You should take a break," Nyla offered.

"I'm fine. I'm not tired," Damon replied.

Seeing he had no intention of letting go, Nyla didn't insist and sat down beside Mason instead.

An hour later, the wedding ceremony officially began.

After the host's opening remarks, the grand doors of the banquet hall slowly opened.

Valarie, arm in arm with her father, walked down the aisle.

Her gaze stayed locked on Brandon, a soft smile on her lips.

As they reached the front, her father placed her hand in Brandon's and gently patted their joined hands. Despite his best efforts to hold back tears, his eyes shimmered with emotion.
